My first yelp review ever - downloaded the app just to review. While the food was all cooked well enough, the restaurant was disgusting! I'll preface the following comments by saying I'm not a germaphobe, not a picky person about dirt, etc - almost the opposite. Often times my husband will say "aren't you going to wash your hands??" when I hadn't thought about it.
Walking in there was a slight odor, but not terrible, just like dirty carpet. When we were seated in our booth and handed menus I immediately noticed that there was butter or grease on the back of my menu and the pages of my husband's stuck together from something sticky. The table also felt a bit sticky, but with those sealed wood tables that happens even when clean sometimes depending on what they use to clean. When I asked the waitress for a new menu she brought me one that wasn't much better, clearly they never get wiped down. The outside of my glass was sticky, perhaps from the drink spilling over when being filled, but that also should have been wiped down because my hands felt sticky the entire meal. The glass just looked dirty. I will say, with everything else the silverware was at least clean.
The booth we were in was next to a faux log wall and you could tell the log wall hadn't been dusted in months, if ever. The ledges between booths and under the murals and the lighting fixtures were also covered in dust. I'm sure if we were sat near the Knick knacks and rising gear those also would have been dusty. It was very apparent that cleanliness wasn't a priority in the dining area, which naturally raises concerns about the kitchen.
With the slightly higher prices, just OK food, and dirty/sticky/dusty dining area I'm not surprised that the larger Texas Roadhouse literally across the street had a 30 min wait while there were more empty than filled tables at the Texas Land & Cattle. Next time, and all future times, we'll take the wait.
