Texas Roadhouse posts strongest same-store sales growth in over a year

Original headline: “Texas Roadhouse sprints to best same-store sales since ’24”

Why this matters

Texas Roadhouse just reported a 7.1% same-store sales jump, crediting strong operations and takeout volume. That number matters because Texas Roadhouse competes on value at scale, so when they grow this fast, it signals that casual full-service dining is pulling traffic that might otherwise go to fast casual or delivery. For an indie operator, the pressure is real: a chain with 700-plus locations and deep purchasing power is winning on both dine-in experience and off-premise convenience. If takeout is driving their lift, that channel is no longer optional for independents who want to compete for the same weekend-dinner dollar.

What to do

Pull your last 90 days of takeout revenue and compare it to your dine-in trend to see which channel is growing and which needs attention.
