| - I haven't been to Z'Tejas in years. So when a date asked if I wanted to meet there, I thought what a great idea, now I'll totally have something to Yelp about!
We met at 6 pm on a Saturday night, and while clearly busy, it only took them 10 minutes to seat us. The restaurant was nicely laid out, plenty of room between tables, and I didn't feel like I was crammed in a corner. The noise level was perfect too, something that is missing from so many places.
Our server was friendly and quick, and answered menu questions with suggestions and good information. I ended up ordering the 5 Cheese Macaroni & Cheese, and my date got the El Diablo chicken. Both were pasta dishes, but very different. The mac & cheese was gooey and tasty, and very filling - no appetizer and I could not finish my plate. I really wanted to - the bacon on the top was the perfect touch. My date's chicken and pasta was spicy, but not overwhelming - subtle flavors playing out nicely together.
The portions were large enough that I couldn't even think about dessert, and was so glad we passed on an appetizer. Overall it was a great meal, and I would have given them 5 stars, if it wasn't a chain restaurant.
