Texas Roadhouse

Love their sweet rolls!

I personally like their ribs a lot... I have had ribs in many different places including some of the best BBQ places in Memphis but I still like Texas Roadhouse ribs better. They always have a lot of meat and it falls out of the bone really easy. The steaks are a hit and miss in my opinion unless you get the filet medallions that so far have been always good in any of the chain locations I have been to. And of course, the rolls with the irresistible butter... So hard to don't eat the whole basket!!

I went here with a friend for dinner. She doesn't eat red meat, so I was a little concerned about the menu options for her. Fortunately, there were plenty available.

She ordered the smothered chicken with veggies and rice. I got the half-rack of ribs, a side salad with honey mustard, and macaroni and cheese (surprise!). They don't list the mac & cheese on the sides, but you can ask for it and it's 99 cents extra.

Our server barely stopped by our table. Although the restaurant was busy, I expected better service for the number of employees milling around. The food arrived fairly quickly. I love their side salads here; they add so much more than the usual side salads, like egg. Their honey mustard is amaaazing. I love it. The ribs were also fall-off-the-bone tender, and quite tasty.

The macaroni and cheese, though, was straight from the box. I was so disappointed to see that. I could whip it up if I had a nice blue Kraft box in front of me; why did I pay an extra 99 cents and waste a side order on that? I expected steakhouse mac & cheese, the creamy kind. I could practically taste the cheese powder.

All in all, I won't be going out of my way to eat at Texas Roadhouse again. (Even if we did get to sit at the Willie Nelson table!)
