At Texas Steakhouse, it’s no secret that we love American food. From our famous Mesquite-grilled steaks to our baby back ribs and chicken tenders, we like to think that we do hearty American meals like no one else. With that in mind, we’re happy to announce the latest addition to our menu.

Ladies and Gentleman, we give you – the All American Burger!

We know what you may be thinking, but this isn’t just another burger. In fact, it’s the result of countless taste tests and recipe refinements -a true testament to Texas Steakhouse’s dedication to burger-engineering.

We start out with two juicy, hot-off-the-mesquite-grill beef patties on top of a toasted bun, top it with American cheese, bacon, fresh tomatoes, pickles, lettuce and our special dressing. Then we close the deal with what else? Fried onion rings.

So what are you waiting for? Do your duty as a hungry patriot and try our new All American Burger! And don’t forget to save room for Grandma’s Strawberry Shortcake where $1 of every order is donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.

See ya in Texas!

Have you ever wondered how we choose new items for the Texas Steakhouse menu? Well, contrary to what you might think, we don’t just pick a dish and throw it on the menu. Each must go through a series of steps or “hurdles” as we call them, in order to earn a permanent spot on the main menu.

It all begins with the menu team. Each week, our menu team meets to discuss new ways to keep our menu fresh and exciting. Ideas are bounced around, we do taste tests, and eventually we come up with a few dishes to put on a “test” menu.

The test menu is then put into five of our locations for a period of 60 days. We track the popularity of each item through what we call a “hurdle rate.” At the end of the period, the dish or dishes that surpass the hurdle rate earn a coveted spot on our main menu.

There are many advantages to the hurdle system. First and foremost, it ensures that only the best dishes make it onto the main menu. Secondly, it allows us to maintain our high level of quality and value by only using ingredients and offering menu items that we know guests will select. Most importantly, it leaves the final say on new menu items to you, our guests.

So, next time you’re in Texas, be sure to savor the flavor of that Super Chicken Club, Montreal Sirloin or Chicken Fried Chicken. Once upon a time it was just an aspiring test menu dish — one that had to overcome many hurdles to make it to your plate.

See you in Texas!

They say chickens can’t fly but Super Cheezy Chicken, one of our seven delicious brand new menu items, has absolutely taken off!

Then again, we’re not surprised. After all, when we decided to take two plump, juicy 7-ounce chicken breasts, coat them in our signature spicy barbeque sauce, then top them off with melted cheddar and jack cheeses we expected a heckuva response.

What we didn’t expect was that Super Cheezy Chicken, priced at just $9.99 with one Side Kick, would become a menu legend-in-the-making so soon! In fact, it has already become one of our most popular dishes!

If you haven’t tried our Super Cheezy Chicken yet, it’s time to head over to Texas and taste it for yourself. If you’ve already tried it, don’t worry; we’ve got plenty more! So what are you waiting for? Find out what Real Texas tastes like. Try our Super Cheezy Chicken today!
