Texas Roadhouse

Reviews & Tips

  I've been a valid Roadie for a while, coming here for years. I used to come here multiple times a week (4 times in 7 days, actually!) With that being said, I relatively adore it here! The service is always nice, quick, and friendly. The only drawback is the hostesses usually are clueless (at least the ones lately.) The menu also doesn't include mini-cheeseburgers (only on the kids menu.) I've been getting the same thing since i was a kid (I'm 21 now) and they sometimes tell me I will have to pay extra to get it since I'm no longer a kid. They haven't added it to the adult menu yet so I don't find it justified to charge me extra for the same amount of food.

  Never a disappointing meal here!
  
  Make sure you ask for fresh out of the oven bread and extra butter...believe me you will need it because it's that good!
  
  Order chicken critters with honey mustard and sirloin k-bobs mid rare!
  
  Also, they have a bomb lowfat italian dressing

  It was cRazy busy on a recent visit, 30 min plus wait. Once seated had a great waitress very friendly. I ordered a Rib Eye beware they go overboard on the seasoning before grilling these, steak was good not too much fat. The sides were nothing great I had a baked potato & side salad.

  This particular Texas Roadhouse always seems to be fairly busy. I'm not sure if that's because of their hours (only open after 4 p.m. on weekdays), or maybe because they're located right next to a big multiplex movie theater?
  
  So, I had dinner with my dad. I had the Dallas Filet, while he ordered the Prime Rib. My dad loves Prime Rib. If he ever sees it listed on ANY menu, he pretty much HAS to order it. That's just the way it is. Well, he loved it. He thought it was nice and tender and also quite lean for a Prime Rib (considering Prime Rib usually has a fair amount of fat in it). My filet was also quite tender. It didn't have much flavor to it, but was good (I realize this wasn't an "Outback Steakhouse" where they really spice up your meat).
  
  So why only three stars if the steak was so good? It's because the "sides" were just so "average", if not on the poor side of things. You usually get to choose 2 sides to go with your steak. I chose a cup of chili and the baked beans. Well, the chili tasted like someone had gone a little crazy with the Chili Powder (the overwhelming flavor). They say on the menu that their sides are made from scratch. Well, if that's true, I suppose that some days the chili could be good, and others not so much, all depending on who made it. As for the baked beans, they were just "blah". Nothing special at all in the flavor. I guess I was hoping for something with some "Kick" to it... ya know? Then, we also had ordered the fried pickles for an appetizer. Pretty sad... they were just sliced SO THIN, that all you tasted was the fried batter, with just about NO pickle taste at all. That could probably be fixed if they just made the slices a bit thicker... C'mon.
  
  Yes, they do have very good rolls (that come with a honey, cinnamon butter, which is also very good). But, their rolls don't even come close to the goodness of those special "yeast rolls" that they serve at "Logan's Roadhouse"! Believe me, if you've ever tried Logan's rolls... you know what I'm talkin' 'bout here. And that's what is kind of interesting here. Texas Roadhouse and Logan's Roadhouse are virtually the same restaurant. Their menu's are very similar, they both have various cuts of steak (as their main menu item), and they both have in-the-shell peanuts in a bucket for you at the table (where you are just supposed to throw the shells on the floor... YEE-Haw). Oh yea, speaking of the peanuts... the peanuts at MY table anyway, were actually kind of soft and chewy. It made me wonder just HOW LONG those things had been sitting at the table without being changed.
  
  Well... if you're looking for a good steak, you can certainly get one here... and maybe that's why this place does so much business. Now, if they could just work on bringing the sides up to the same level of quality as their steak, this place would be "aces" in my book.

  We had no idea what to expect when we walked into the Roadhouse and were very pleasantly surprised.  The atmosphere was great...good music.
  
  We were seated immediately and our drinks were delivered quickly.  We LOVED the bread with the cinnamon sugar butter. The roasted peanuts on the table were also really good.  
  
  We ordered a burger and fries and also a steak with fries.  The burger was ok.. the fries were very yummy.  The steak was also just ok... would probably have been better it I would have ordered it as rare instead of medium.
  
  Would go back and try something else.
