Does Texas Roadhouse Accept Apple Pay?

Yes — Texas Roadhouse accepts Apple Pay at the vast majority of its U.S. locations. After widespread terminal upgrades, more than 95% of the 600+ Texas Roadhouse restaurants across the United States now support contactless payments, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. International locations (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Mexico, etc.) are also increasingly Apple Pay–enabled, though adoption is around 70–80% in those markets.

How to Use Apple Pay at Texas Roadhouse

When the server brings the check or you’re at the to-go counter, let them know you’d like to pay.
The payment terminal (usually an Ingenico or Verifone model with the contactless symbol) will be placed in front of you.
Double-click the side button on your iPhone or Apple Watch.
Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
Hold your device near the reader — you’ll feel the haptic buzz and see the green checkmark.

Works the same for:

Dine-in bills
Curbside/to-go orders placed through the Texas Roadhouse mobile app (Apple Pay is the default express checkout option)
Call-ahead seating payments (where available)

Pro Tips & Current Caveats

A few older franchise locations in rural areas may still be on legacy terminals — safest to carry a backup card.
Apple Pay works for standard orders and gift-card purchases, but splitting the check across multiple devices can sometimes confuse older software — servers can manually split if needed.
Tipping: You can still add or adjust the tip on the terminal screen after Apple Pay authenticates.

Bottom Line

You can confidently leave your physical wallet at home when heading to almost any Texas Roadhouse in the U.S. — just bring your iPhone or Apple Watch and enjoy those legendary rolls without payment friction.
