Texas Roadhouse

01/20/2007 Posted by sanantoniofoodcritic

When I am entertaining out of town guests and they want a great steak...I don't bother with Ruth's or Morton's...I head straight to the Roadhouse! I don't even bother with a menu, I always order the Ribs & RibEye plate. The rib meat simply slides off the bone, the steak is always cooked the way you order it, and have never, ever had to use any kind of steak sauce. If you have to use a steak sauce on a steak, I feel it wasn't good enough. Trust me...best value for the buck, or simply the best steak....go to Texas Roadhouse.

I went to the Texas Road House for the first time today. I started with their happy hour wings and (melon) margarita. I was pleasantly surprised by the wings. It's a very nice change to get wings that aren't so smothered in sauce you can't tell which meat you're eating. The mild wings were tasty, hot and I got quite a few of them. The margarita I wouldn't order again. It tasted like the kind you get from a machine, and wasn't very good. I didn't realize I'd get the blended margarita. But for $2 bucks, it's not too bad a drink (regular HH margaritas were $1.50). Then I ordered the Rib Eye & Rib combo plate, with the loaded 'tater and fresh veggies. The Rib Eye was a fantastic cut, cooked perfectly. It was a tiny bit salty for me but by far, exceptional. The ribs were tasty and fell off the bone when I tried to eat them. They were very tender and flavorful. The veggies were not over cooked at all! Now there's something you don't see every day. For the bucks, you get a LOT of food. I had a few bites of my steak, 1/2 the ribs and less than 1/2 of the wings. I took the rest home. The service was excellent. The wait staff, when they walked by my table they took empty plates and glasses. I didn't have to wait for my waiter. The manager introduced himself when he found that I was a first timer. He said to let him know if I had any problems or special requests and gave me a card for a free munchie next time I went. For all the food I got I paid $24 bucks. Oh - plus lots of bread with cinnimon butter. Overall, this is a fantastic restaurant. Exceptional food, great wait staff and timely service (I went before 5:00 pm on a Monday). I will absolutely be back to the Texas Road House, probably on a regular basis.

Pros: Tender ribs and steak

Cons: None

Before anything, I must say that the bread rolls are absolutely amazing. They're moist and warm and soft. They even come with cinnamon butter. The rest of the meal is almost as good as the rolls. If you're looking for the country taste, this restaurant will indulge your senses--and not just your tastebuds. The atmosphere of the restaurant looks and feels like the country. Even with scatterings of peanut shells on the floor enhance the atmosphere, bringing a barn-like feel to the restaurant.

Pros: Rolls

Cons: Very filling

Floridians, New Yorkers, Puerto Ricans have been my guests while dineing at Texas Roadhouse and it has always been a HUGE hit. The Excitement, The FOOD, the service, the whole dineing experience has always been A+ ,and have converted my Friends and Family into True Texan Cowboys as soon as they walk through those doors. The Delicious dry roasted peanuts, the warm fresh bread with the cinnamon butter are the best starters. The prices and the quality are like no other restaurant that i've been to. My guests have always asked to return, the night before they leave to their "Texas Roadhouse-less" States haha. It is a very addicting restaurant!! AND... i believe they should expand this franchise, and satisfy their #1 fans in other states-- YEEEE HAwWW!! :)

Pros: Peanut Shells can, be thrown on the, FLOOR! haha *FUn*

Texas Roadhouse has some darned good food. Even the Road Kill was excellent..LOL!! Really...the chopped steak is smothered in onions, mushrooms, and cheese, and it is EXCELLENT! My next favorite thing is the french fries with the works. So yummy covered with cheese, real bacon bits, and green onions. I always ask for a little ranch for dipping on the side, and WOW-WEE is it that yummy. The portions are huge, the service is friendly, the place is comfy, and the PRICE IS RIGHT! What more can you ask for? Oh yeah, the peanuts are a good "remember-me" thing about the place, and those hot slightly sweet rolls with the blissfull honey butter...lip smackin' good.

Pros: FOOD IS WONDERFUL, basically everything

We came to visit our daughter and son-in-law a few months ago...they wanted to take us out for a good time and some good food...we were game...The Texas Roadhouse was the BEST place we'd eaten in a long time....BBQ was great, steaks to die for!!! Actually cooked the way we wanted! Drinks were excellent...the best Bloody Mary in a long time. Waitstaff was friendly and helpful....In the east that's a 10! I tried to find out how to get a franchise to the East Coast so Yankees could see what they were missing.

Pros: Ambiance, Waitstaff, down home

Cons: Wait

We've been to the Texas Roadhouse at least twice a month from the time they've opened. They are the most consistent steak house I've ever been to. Their wait staff is excellent and the food is outstanding. Their happy hour specials and prices will have you coming back for more!!!

Pros: Inexpensive, Consistency

Cons: NONE

It took over an hour to receive our food. When we did finally get it the meat was tough and overcooked.
