We drove to the Arrowhead area to see if the Irish Restaurant has opened. I read the name to myself three times so that I would remember it and could look it up when I got home...Lis Doon Varna. Obviously, it isn't open yet, or I wouldn't be reviewing Texas Roadhouse.
We drove across the street and looked between Buca and Texas and decided we've been consuming enough Italian food lately.
I liked it. It was louder than I prefer; but most restaurants are these days. Really, I'm only in my 30s, but I'm ancient at the same time. The birthday gimmick of bringing out a saddle and yelling Yee-Haw really should not happen. Especially at two tables right next to me.
I also feel the concept of throwing your peanut shells on the floor is awful, terrible, oh, I'm going there....horrific. Why is this something that a restaurant would encourage? Bits of food and spittle being thrown on the floor in a place where you eat...YUMMY!
Now for the good...
as others have mentioned the bread and cinnamon butter is yummy. The food is good. It has always been cooked the way it is ordered. The portions are large. They will make substitutions. The people next to us ordered these artery-clogging loaded baked potatoes that looked absolutely scrumptious.
The service has always been top-notch every time I've been there. The waiters are attentive, fill your drinks, get the orders correct, and offer suggestions. The service is better than what you usually receive in nicer restaurants.
That about wraps it up.
