Saltgrass Steak House Menu Prices 2026: Texas Steaks, Ribs & Pat's Famous

Saltgrass steaks range from about $18.99 for a 6 oz Center-Cut Top Sirloin up to $42.99 for Pat's bone-in 16 oz Ribeye as of May 2026. The popular 9 oz sirloin is about $23.99, a 12 oz ribeye is $31.99, the 6 oz filet mignon is $33.99, and a 12 oz New York strip is $29.99. All steaks are hand-cut, mesquite-grilled to order and served with two sides. Saltgrass sits slightly above Texas Roadhouse and LongHorn on price but below white-tablecloth steakhouses — it's a mid-tier casual steakhouse.

Beyond the hand-cut steaks, Saltgrass's signatures are Pat's Famous Fajitas (beef ~$22.99, chicken ~$20.99, combo ~$23.99), the Shiner Bock Beer Cheese Soup ($7.49) made with Texas's iconic Shiner Bock beer, Wild West Shrimp ($12.99 appetizer) — crispy fried shrimp in spicy cream sauce with jalapeños — and the Grilled Chicken Laredo ($18.99) topped with shrimp and jack cheese. The Two-Fork Cheesecake ($8.99) is the dessert to know. These dishes reflect the brand's Texas-ranch theme.

Saltgrass Steak House is owned by Landry's, Inc., the Houston-based hospitality company led by Tilman Fertitta (who also owns the Houston Rockets and brands like Bubba Gump, McCormick & Schmick's and the Golden Nugget casinos). Landry's acquired Saltgrass in 2002. The chain was originally founded in 1991 in Houston, Texas. Several signature menu items — including 'Pat's Famous Fajitas' and 'Pat's Ribeye' — reference the Fertitta family. Being part of Landry's means Saltgrass guests can earn and use Landry's Select Club rewards across the company's restaurants.

The Shiner Bock Beer Cheese Soup (about $7.49 a bowl) is one of Saltgrass's most famous starters — a rich, creamy cheese soup made with Shiner Bock, the iconic dark lager brewed in Shiner, Texas, and topped with crispy tortilla strips. It's a proudly Texan dish that captures the brand's regional identity and is frequently recommended as a must-try first course. The recipe is popular enough that copycat versions circulate widely online, but the original is a Saltgrass staple.

Yes — most Saltgrass locations run a Happy Hour in the bar area with discounted appetizers, draft beer (including Shiner Bock), house margaritas and well drinks, typically on weekday afternoons. Saltgrass also participates in the Landry's Select Club loyalty program, which earns points across Landry's restaurants and includes a birthday reward and a welcome bonus. Specific Happy Hour times, prices and offerings vary by location and are bar-area only, so confirm with your local Saltgrass.

Saltgrass operates around 90 locations as of 2026, heavily concentrated in Texas — its home state — with additional restaurants across the South and Southwest, including Louisiana, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Florida and other states. It's a regional brand rather than a coast-to-coast chain. The first Saltgrass opened in 1991 in Houston, and the name references the historic Saltgrass Trail, a Texas cattle-drive route.

Yes — Saltgrass is a full-service, sit-down steakhouse with table service, a full bar and a Texas-ranch atmosphere, not a counter-order fast-casual spot. You're seated by a host, served by a waiter, and steaks are cooked to order. The experience is comparable to Texas Roadhouse, LongHorn Steakhouse or Outback — casual-dining steakhouse rather than fine dining. Most locations offer complimentary bread service, a full bar with Texas beers and margaritas, and dessert service. Reservations are accepted at many locations and call-ahead/waitlist seating is common.

All three are casual sit-down steakhouses, but they differ in feel and price. Saltgrass leans into a Texas-ranch theme with mesquite-grilled steaks and Tex-Mex touches like Pat's Famous Fajitas, and tends to price slightly above Texas Roadhouse and LongHorn — a 9 oz sirloin runs ~$23.99 versus roughly $16–$19 at Roadhouse. Texas Roadhouse is the value leader with free peanuts and rolls and the liveliest atmosphere. LongHorn sits in between, a touch more polished. If you want fajitas and Shiner Bock soup alongside your steak, Saltgrass is the distinctive pick; for the lowest steak price, Texas Roadhouse usually wins.
