Calculate the right tip at Texas restaurants, bars, hotels, and more. Covers Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio.
Texas follows national tipping norms closely — 18–20% at sit-down restaurants is standard across Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. Texans are known for being hospitable and generous, and that extends to tipping culture.
At a sit-down Texas restaurant, tip 18–20% for good service. At casual BBQ or counter spots, 10–15% is appropriate. At fine dining in Dallas or Houston, 20–25% is standard.
Texas has an 8.25% state sales tax. Doubling the tax gives roughly 16–17%. Add a couple more dollars to reach the 20% standard.
At counter-service BBQ joints, tipping is optional but appreciated. At sit-down BBQ with table service, tip 15–18%.
The standard is $1–2 per drink, or 15–20% of your total tab.
