| - I came here with a friend for her birthday earlier this year. It was my first visit to a Texas Roadhouse in a while, as I'm the first to admit that I'm not enough of a carnivore to be a regular at this particular chain. (I don't avoid it by any means, I just don't frequent it, either.)
For my dinner I ordered a BBQ chicken combo with ribs, which was a decent choice. The ribs are the primary reason I'm leaning toward "ok" on the food. They were tender and enjoyable enough, but I had hoped for a little more flavor in them, as ribs are a rare treat for me. The chicken ended up being the more memorable part of the combo, as it was perfectly cooked with the right amount of seasoning and sauce - very tasty.
As for the service, our waitress left a great impression. She was attentive, and she happily put in for a replacement steak when my friend's medium rare order came out well done. A replacement was brought to us by a manager who wanted to make sure the meal as a whole was satisfactory, so clearly the staff were paying attention to their restaurant that night. It was nice to see that given the number of other complaints on Yelp about incorrectly cooked orders.
Based on the food and service during my visit, Texas Roadhouse is a solid 3.5 in my book. The service was definitely good. Admittedly some of my food was more on the "meh" side; but considering how affordable this place is for the amount of food that I got, the combo was still a good deal overall. (Since the combo came with a couple sides of my choice as well, I ultimately boxed up about half of the meat for later.) I would definitely consider returning if the right mood struck me - particularly since I know they'd fit into my budget more easily than other steakhouses and BBQ establishments.
