Never have I seen a 12oz strip with two sides for less than 20, and then there's tip , tax and drink, easily making it $30+

Yeah that menu item is always in the 20s

As an avid steak eater, always gauged best bang for my buck eating at these places based off my hunger

I mean the point is that the fast food slop is $18 when you can just get a whole steak dinner for maybe $10-$15 more….

There’s usually daily deals making meals $20 max with tax and tip

u/diablette 5d ago

And people doing takeout without tip

$29 here, so like ~$38 after tax and tip

You can just order takeout at Texas Roadhouse but that’s not even the issue. A 12oz Sirloin with 2 sides near me is $40, a double quarter-pounder meal is $15, the post is just plain wrong

u/AT-ST 5d ago

Weird, for me it's $25

u/TrippyVision 5d ago

It’s probably cause I live in CA… the 12oz sirloin alone (no sides) is $30

u/AT-ST 5d ago

Yeah that makes sense then.
