| - I guess the word is surprised, it was surprisingly good. It's just after 6 and we were invited out for steak dinner. The question was where to go with quite a number of choices here in the area. We talked about Bobby-Qs, Black Angus and Texas Roadhouse. None of us had tried here at the Texas Roadhouse so we poked our heads in and there was a wait but not very long. They handed us a pager, we waited about 15 minutes and we were seated. You never really know when a place is working at capacity if things are going to go well, but as I have already hinted... no problemo!
The waitress introduced herself on the way to the table, while grabbing some rolls and honey butter. Sat us down in a booth got our drink order and offered us appetizers that she said would be out in a flash if we wanted one. We picked the onion blossom, it was a good choice crisp and tasty with a pair of dips for flavor, one was I believe a chipolte remoulade and the other their ranch dressing, both were good the chipolte was a little on the spicy side.
The atmosphere was noisy but we were able to talk as well as hear each other. The music is in keeping with the name, country western. While we were working on the onion blossom all of the sudden all the employees are lined up in the aisle clapping, I was expecting them to break out in a round of Happy Birthday but no... They line danced through the song... That was a new one on me. The staff in matching T-shirts that say "I love my Job" was dancing and singing to the music. Some were beginners, some much more proficient it was a hoot to watch. And like it started when the song was over everyone was back to work.
The order for our main course was taken, The 20 oz porterhouse for me, Jo had the steak salad, with William rounding out the order with a grilled chicken. Each plate came with 2 side dishes from a long list. I had a salad with blue cheese dressing, and the home fries. I will mention that William picked one that he didn't care for the green beans, when he mentioned it to the waitress, she offered to switch it without hesitation, The drinks were renewed before anyone could get to the bottom of their glass and the steaks were amazing. This was 5 star.
Opps, I gave them 4 pretty much for the noise and the loud music, and we will go back I am sure. This is a fun place, and the prices are not out of line, a Texas down home kind of feel to the place will welcome you back, we are looking forward to it.
