As far as chains go, Texas Roadhouse is one of my favorites. Peanuts on the floor, loud music, live people, cold beer, and fried pickles.
This was a planned visit during my baseball/NASCAR weekend so we stopped in here after the baseball game. We started with the fried pickles (as I always do) and a cold Budweiser (as I always do).
Really having a good time here: Celebrating my Padres winning their ST game, watching my Tar Heels win the ACC tourney, watching the waiter-waitresses dance, and converting one young lady from being a Jeff Gordon fan to a Kevin Harvick fan.
Oh....the food. Well, I had the pulled pork which was delicious (as always) and the wife had the country fried steak. I tried hers and it was one of the better ones I've had in years anywhere.
I think you really have to be a fan of this kind of establishment to really enjoy it. If your'e a "foodie" then you probably don't like chains anyway so this might not be you're cup of tea.
If you're redneck like me, you'll love it.
