Texas Roadhouse<\/a>, the chain of steakhouses that aren’t actually from Texas, is continuing its upward trajectory after a glowing earnings call<\/a>. Thursday, CEO Jerry Morgan announced the restaurant chain’s comparable store sales (or same-store sales) had grown by 7.1 percent and total revenue by 12.8 percent.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been following restaurant news long enough, there are a handful of chains that reportedly have been doing A-okay since the pandemic. That includes Chili’s<\/a>, Wingstop, Cava, and Texas Roadhouse. The rest have either been slowly trucking along, closing locations or filing for bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

Some of the interesting numbers to come out of Thursday’s earnings calls included the chain’s average weekly sales. Each location, on average, is generating $174,151 a week. Of that amount, $25,374 were to-go sales. That’s a 6.8 and 14.8-percent increase compared to those same figures in the past year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(That 14.8 percent for to-go orders was striking for Sarah Senatore with Bank of America, who noted in the Q&A portion of the call that it was likely the highest sales mix they’ve seen since shortly after the pandemic.)<\/p>\n

Putting those sales numbers in context, there are more than a dozen Texas Roadhouse locations in the Greater Houston area and roughly 80 across the whole of Texas. That’s a lot of scrap!<\/p>\n

For the fun of it, I looked back at how Taste of Texas did in Restaurant Business’ Top 100 Grossing Independents ranking from last year. The upscale steakhouse off the Katy Freeway pulled in $34,021,980 in 2024. Assuming every day is the same, that’s an average of $654,269 a week. Of course, the average check at the Houston restaurant is $71. Compare that to Texas Roadhouse, which is somewhere between the $20 to $40 range, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas Roadhouse, the chain of steakhouses that aren’t actually from Texas, is continuing its upward trajectory after a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":286383,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1703,1704,27,29,28],"class_list":["post-286382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-chronfood","tag-chronstaff","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286382\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/286383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
