| - It was Friday before Christmas and all through the house; not a person was cooking, so we headed on out!
We were in the mood for some ribs and fix'ins, and only Texas ribs would do. If you've been to Tex-ass, you know what I mean. One of those full racks of ribs, or pull pork meals. Gooo-dd!
Short of twelve hours on US Highway 10, we decided to go to Mesa instead. Our choices was Logan's Roadhouse, Famous Dave's or Texas Roadhouse; we decided to come here since it's been awhile.
What can I say, some things never change and TR is real good at filing a craving. As I said in my tip, the wait time on a Friday night before Christmas was short, only seventeen minutes. They have nice little setup where one of their two managers has a headset connected with the bus'ers. So, as one customer leaves, the table is cleared in seconds. My guess is fifteen seconds, tops! Beauty in action.
The three of us ordered: the Pulled Pork Dinner for $9.49; the Chicken Tenders dinner with biscuit gravy for $9.99; the Full Slab of Ribs for $17.49 and a whole bunch of sides that came with the dinner. The only extra is what I call the cardiac arrest, Loaded Steak Fries. It was topped with cheese and bacon, a $0.99 up charge. Lemonade and pop ran us $2.39 each.
The music was loud, the food was okay and it hit the spot. One of the fun things about Texas Roadhouse is how the wait staff does some line dancing every 30/45 minutes, or so. It's fun to watch, but none of the customers near the bar joined in.
Our server Megan and the rest of the staff kept all our drinks filled and tag-teamed our table with biscuits and services. We thought the bill for three of $45.63, was about right before tip and taxes.
We do not get down this way much, but we'll be back.
