How much does restaurant insurance cost in Texas?
Texas restaurant insurance typically costs $1,500-$8,000 annually. The range depends on your restaurant type, location, and coverage needs. General liability averages $800-$2,500 per year, while a complete restaurant package ranges higher.
Food trucks pay less than full-service restaurants. Alcohol service increases premiums. We help you find competitive rates by comparing quotes from multiple specialized carriers.
Essential Insurance Coverage for Texas Restaurant Owners
Texas restaurant owners face unique risks. Generic business policies can’t handle them. A single food poisoning claim averages $75,000 in legal costs alone. Kitchen fires? They affect over 7,000 restaurants annually.
Here’s your essential coverage lineup:
- General liability insurance – Protects against customer injuries, property damage, and food-related illness claims
- Commercial property coverage – Shields your equipment, inventory, and physical assets from fire, theft, and weather damage
- Workers’ compensation insurance – Optional in Texas but provides crucial employee injury protection
- Liquor liability coverage – Required for bars and restaurants serving alcohol
The Texas advantage? Unlike 48 other states, Texas doesn’t mandate workers’ comp coverage. This gives you flexibility. You choose protection that matches your actual needs rather than state requirements.
Smart Texas restaurant owners still carry it. But you control the coverage level. You control the cost.
Our Independent Insurance Agents have helped hundreds of Texas restaurants navigate these decisions. We know which carriers offer the best rates for Tex-Mex joints, barbecue spots, and fine dining establishments. Every type of restaurant across the Lone Star State gets our expertise.
Why Texas Restaurant Owners Choose The Allen Thomas Group
Twenty years of restaurant insurance experience has taught us something important. Every restaurant faces different risks. The food truck serving lunch crowds has different exposures than the steakhouse open until midnight.
- Local Texas expertise – We understand Gulf Coast hurricane risks, hail damage patterns, and local liability trends
- National carrier relationships – Access to specialized restaurant insurers beyond what local agents offer
- Workers’ comp savings strategy – Help you evaluate Texas’s optional coverage to control costs
- Smart rate shopping – We compare quotes from multiple carriers to find your best value
The numbers don’t lie. Texas accounts for 61% of major jury awards nationwide. That makes liability protection crucial. Meanwhile, 38% of restaurants reported zero profit in 2023. Every dollar of insurance savings matters.
Our smart and easy approach means you get expert guidance. No insurance jargon. No pushy sales tactics either. We explain your options in plain English, then let you decide what works. Your business, your budget, your choice.
Complete Coverage for Every Type of Texas Restaurant
Texas restaurants need more than basic coverage. Industry-specific risks demand specialized protection. Equipment breakdown insurance becomes essential when your walk-in cooler fails during a Houston heat wave. Thousands in inventory spoils instantly.
- Food contamination coverage – Protects inventory when power outages or equipment failures spoil perishables
- Business interruption insurance – Covers lost income during forced closures from health department issues or storm damage
- Equipment breakdown protection – Handles repair costs when kitchen equipment fails
- Cyber liability coverage – Protects customer data and payment systems from digital threats
Texas-specific considerations matter. Gulf Coast restaurants face hurricane and flooding risks that demand specialized coverage. Urban establishments deal with higher crime rates. Both affect theft and vandalism claims.
- Food trucks require mobile coverage plus commissary kitchen protection
- Bars and nightclubs need enhanced liquor liability and security coverage
- Catering operations require off-premises liability and transportation protection
- Fine dining establishments need higher property limits for expensive equipment and wine inventory
We’ve insured them all. From family-owned taquerias to multi-location restaurant groups, our Texas restaurant expertise ensures you get coverage. Coverage that actually matches your operational reality, not some generic template.

Is workers' compensation insurance required for Texas restaurants?
No. Texas doesn’t require workers’ compensation insurance for private employers, including restaurants. This makes Texas unique among all 50 states. However, most restaurant owners still choose coverage to protect employees and reduce liability risks from workplace injuries.
Without workers’ comp, you’re personally liable. Employee medical bills become your responsibility. Lost wages from job-related injuries? Also yours to cover.
What insurance coverage do Texas restaurants actually need?
Essential Texas restaurant coverage includes general liability, commercial property, and business interruption insurance. Add liquor liability if you serve alcohol and consider workers’ compensation for employee protection. Food contamination coverage protects inventory during power outages or equipment failures.
The specific mix depends on your restaurant type. Food trucks need different coverage than steakhouses. Catering operations have unique requirements too.
