To make things easier for our more indecisive Texans, we’ve offered up combo dishes like our famous Ribeye & Ribs, Texas Surf & Turf, and Ribs & Tenders to name a few. Now we proudly announce a new dish for those who are torn between chicken and seafood:

Our brand new Crab-Stuffed Chicken!

It’s a juicy 7-ounce chicken breast, lightly breaded, stuffed with lump crabmeat — all topped off with sautéed shrimp and a rich tomato bisque sauce! It’s Surf meets Turf in a whole new way! Great with a Side Kick of Red Bliss Potatoes or a House Salad!

So, hungry? Then today’s the day for our new Crab-Stuffed Chicken! The answer to another timeless question: “What’s for dinner?”

See ya in Texas!

I know what you may be thinking, but Qore Analytics is not your average feedback system. Instead, it’s a remarkably simple online survey designed to capture the true experiences of our guests in less than five minutes time. It’s three simple questions, and then we ask you to rate us in areas of importance.

You see, unlike comment cards (where only the good comments seem to make it to the boss), or secret shopper programs (where the “secret” shopper’s identity is no secret at all), Qore Analytics provides us with honest, accurate, bulletproof data about how each one of our restaurants is performing.

And because the results of each guest survey are instantly available to the entire Texas Steakhouse chain-of command, Qore Analytics not only encourages accountability on our part – it requires it.

Furthermore, Qore Analytics was built to allow our managers to personally respond to each guest. This way we can let you know that we’ve heard what you have to say, that we appreciate your thoughts, and that we’re taking the necessary actions to further perfect your dining experience.

Qore Analytics is the comment box for the digital age; it turns every guest into a secret shopper; and it’s helping Texas Steakhouse earn, build and keep your loyalty like never before.

So next time you get home from a meal at Texas Steakhouse, take five minutes to let us know how we’re doing. We’ll even send you a $5.00 OFF coupon good for your next visit!

See ya in Texas!

Terry Smith, President

Here in Texas, we like to think we have the best menu team this side of the Rio Grande. They love what they do and work tirelessly dreaming up ways to dazzle your senses. We think they do a pretty good job of it. But what you may not know is there’s something else they do really well – matchmaking.

You may have met some of our more successful couples: Baby Back Ribs & Chicken Tenders, Texas Surf & Turf, Ribeye & Ribs. If not for our menu team, many of these pairings would still be strangers drifting past one another in the kitchen.

Of course, we don’t just pair up any two items. Chemistry is crucial, and our menu team knows the strongest relationships are based on taste. With that we’d like to introduce the hottest new duo on our menu, our brand new Cheezy Chicken & Ribeye Combo!

We found that our new Super Cheezy Chicken breast and famous Mesquite-Grilled Ribeye have impeccable chemistry! Then again, we’re not surprised. After all, they’ve both proven themselves to be stars in their own right, and putting them together was a great fit from the start.

So next time you’re in Texas, introduce yourself to our brand new Super Cheezy Chicken and Ribeye Combo. It’s just the beginning of a beautiful relationship!

See ya in Texas!

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!

The program began with a group of veterans and brothers who “were moved by the difficult stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. They realized then and there that something needed to be done for these brave individuals beyond the brass bands and ticker tape parades. “

Wounded Warrior offers a variety of services to soldiers and their families from counseling and coping services to “peer mentoring,” designed to help the wounded know what is possible and see the successes of other fellow soldiers who have faced similar challenges. And they do so much more. http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org

So, the next time you are in Texas Steakhouse, save room for our Strawberry Shortcake. It’s a great treat this time of year and an easy way to thank and support those who continue to fight for our freedom and safety.

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!

In late 2009 we began donating one dollar of every Grandma’s Shortcake purchase to the Wounded Warrior Project. So far exactly $13,699 has been collected, and we hope that’s just the beginning.

We are honored to help the brave members of our military in this way, and we’re grateful to all the Real Texans out there who made this donation possible. Thanks again and remember, next time you’re in Texas, save room for Grandma’s Shortcake.

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!
