Woman buys Texas Roadhouse for family of four. She can’t believe how much it costs: ‘One of my favorite dinner hacks’

A mom shared a Texas Roadhouse hack that can have your family eating a steak meal for under $50. She revealed everything that came with the meal and was shocked by how much food she got. The video sparked discussions about the meal and whether it’s worth it.

In a viral TikTok video with over 521,000 views, user Maria J Lane (@mariajlane) started by holding a huge bag from the restaurant.

“Literally, so much food from Texas Roadhouse,” she said. “I’m going to feed a family of four for under $50.”

She then proceeded to show off her haul.

It included a family-size salad and two containers of dressing, rolls and honey butter, paper plates, peanuts, two pounds of steak and four sides.

The content creator noted that there are many variations of the meal that start at different price points.

“But this is how you can feed a family of four steak for $10 a person,” she concluded.

The woman also noted that her family even had leftovers.

Does Texas Roadhouse Sell Family Meals?

Texas Roadhouse offers a wide variety of family meals.

The cheapest meal, which comes with 4 7-oz pork chops as its meat, costs between $ 29.99 and $ 34.99.

The restaurant also offers family-style meals that include chicken breasts, pulled pork, cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and more.

This is not the first time Texas Roadhouse family meals were the subject of viral content.

The Mary Sue reported on a woman’s viral video about a $57 family meal that sparked conversation about its costs and whether it was worth it.

Since it was founded in 1993, Texas Roadhouse has grown into one of the largest steakhouse chains in the U.S. It is popular for its hand-cut steaks, fresh-baked rolls, and made-from-scratch sides.

The restaurant recommends customers with big parties who are purchasing to-go orders to order family meals.

The family meals cost substantially less than purchasing the same items individually.

For example, the family pack price for the four pork chops costs $32.49. However, if ordered separately, the same items would ring up to $85.96.

This reflects a savings of over $50.

@mariajlane Dinner for the whole family for about $10 per person? Yes, please! ?? One of my favorite dinner hacks is the Texas Roadhouse Family Meals. We picked the steak tips smothered with mushrooms and onions, and it came with two large sides, a huge salad, plenty of their famous fresh bread with honey cinnamon butter, and it was more than enough to feed our family of four! The best part is there are options for every budget. You can choose more affordable meals like chicken or splurge on options like sirloin steaks. And if you’re cooking for just yourself, these family meals are perfect for meal prep and give you delicious leftovers for days. Definitely keep this in mind for those busy nights when you don’t feel like cooking! #TexasRoadhouse #FamilyMeal #DinnerIdeas #MealPrep #FoodieFinds @Texas Roadhouse ♬ original sound – Maria J Lane

However, others criticized the meal.

“NO WAY YOU GET 4 SERVINGS WITH THAT LITTLE AMOUNT OF MASHED POTATOES & ESPECIALLY THE GREEN BEANS CAUSE THE CUPS ARE NOT EVEN FULL,YOU CANT MAKE 4 PLATES WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF FOOD YOU HAVE ON YOUR PLATE,ONLY THING WOULD BE THE SALAD THEY GIVE A WHOLE LOT OF RABBIT FOOD,” user Roxxxy wrote.

“That is not enough green beans or mashed potatoes lol,” another user added.
