| - This is my First time at Texas Roadhouse,,and I knew I was in trouble,,moment I stepped inside I knew,, because I didn't have my Tony Lama boots. Those who don't know, they are not made of Lama, although some may be but mine are Ostrich,,handmade,,I even told them to leave the Ostrich Feathers on,,makes for great conversation, especially at Church, but not to worry, I only wear them when its my turn to do the Sunday reading. So back to the review.
This place is pretty cool and incredible,, walked in and you won't BELIEVE this,,but the hostess was 7 FEET TALL!! She greeted us and I freaked out! Then, realized she had to step down from the hostess podium and man, I was relieved! Whew! That would have been the conversation all night long at our table! Everybody else's table too.
Our hostess guides us to our seats (we are a party of 3) and I almost get whiplash when we pass this beautiful showcase filled with hand cut meats! (please see picture) Ok, first star! I mean, come on! When you go to the Supermarket and tell the butcher at the meat counter "this one waay up front" don't you secretly wish you could also say, "can you please fire it up back there, medium rare?" I know I do.
Wonder if they'll do it? Hmmm...
We arrive at the table and notice the restaurants decor is really cool,, wood high beams, neon signs announcing Beers, and lots of TV's (seemed like 30!) Every game being played on Earth was on some TV! Think even a peewee football game was on-going!
So each table had a bucket O' peanuts,, nice; no peanut allergies here!
Tip, if you do have high peanut allergies, stay away, cause you won't leave walking.
Menu was extensive and varied- Second star--If you like STEAK,, they have all kinds of cuts! Ribeye (my fav), Sirloin ( Royalty wooo, Sir Loin), NY Strip, T-Bone (sounds like a rapper). Please Read the menu to know more, as it is impossible to recite the whole thing..Please see picture, thank you.
Our server Miss Jacky was at the helm,, she was fantastic! Third Star- Being our first time here, she was sooo tolerant and patient explaining the entire menu and showing us all the nice photos,, I'm talking really courteous! SHOW ME THE WINE LIST! please,,,
Tip: Miss Jacky even told us about ordering a side of ribs on our entrée for only $6.99 extra,, super deal! Also:
**Free appetizer on the Yelp app!! Even the laziest can push the button to get a free appetizer!! Come on!,,, put your finger to good use!! We ordered the Cactus Blossom! Please See picture...
I heard Angels sing and Heavenly Trumpets going (but to be fair could have been all the TV's making me Bubble-headed) when I saw,, Bone-in-Rib-Eye ! This entrée comes with 2 sides. Therefore, Our order consisted of:
3 20oz Bone-in's (easy now)
2 Caesar Salad, 2 baked potatoes, mash and one Garden salad,,, and VINO!!(prices are super reasonable but meager selection) Pretty Epic! (plagiarized this from Yelp since it keeps blinking) ((pictures))
Fourth Star- The taste was way beyond-
The steaks were well seasoned and cooked just perfect-medium rare. I did not even salt the darn thing! Happy happy indeed. The baked potato had all the usual suspects,,,butter, sour cream, bacon bits, cheese. All Were Found Guilty! So I lined them up, handed down a sentence, and as punishment, ate the whole thing with a John Wayne squint pilgrim!
Prices? Traumatizing!! Ok,, Wow,, the pricing was so reasonable, it felt like I was robbing the place!! Look at the pic's! I wanted to turn myself in and looked all over the place for the SHERIFF to haul me away, but no sheriff in sight (Guess Bob Marly is in town!)
Saw a manager walking around checking! Oh! Is she going to escort me out cause of the way I was ripping and tearing at my meat,, that, or she found out about my Boots? Nope, she was checking in on patrons at the restaurant making sure all was well...Star #5
Altogether, it made for a pleasant dinner! Will definitely be back!
Ok so now to do the Star math ( throughout my academic life,, Yes! I went to skool silly!) my professors always used 2 words- Excellent Guess! Made me feel good to hear the word Excellent,,so,equation below:
3 X 2 = 6minus 2 for the weak wine list, carry the 1 for scaring me with the hostess
===TOTAL= 4 Stars!!
Plenty of parking! Check it out for yourself!
