Texas Land & Cattle is a steakhouse chain from...you guessed it, Texas. There are 18 or so locations across TX and 1 each in 3 or 4 other states out west, the one in Concord is the only one east of the Mississippi. Word on the street is the only reason it's here in Concord is because Charlotte Speedway owner Bruton Smith has one by his Texas Motor Speedway and likes it so much he wanted a TL&C by his Charlotte speedway, so here ya go.
As you would imagine, its got a Texas ranch style theme to it, they have a bar area with seating and a flat screen tv or 2 besides the regular dining area of booths and tables & chairs. The hostess takes your name when you enter and calls you when your table is ready, our wait was maybe 15 minutes on our visit.
I went with their signature "Smoked Sirloin" and Mesquite Grilled Shrimp, both were perfect. The Smoked Sirloin had a great smoke flavor to it with a peppercorn type crust on it cooked medium rare, it comes already sliced in thin slivers which I thought was great. Very juicy and tender, definitely doesn't need any kind of sauce, that would just ruin the great flavor the steak has on its own. That Smoked Sirloin was definitely one of the best steaks I've had from a restaurant.
The menu has alot of great sounding items, I'll definitely return at some point to try more of what the Texas Land & Cattle has to offer.
