Hubby and I are big fans of Texas Roadhouse steaks. I don't know what they do to them but the flavor is outstanding and they normally do cook them as ordered. I have only had to return one steak for overcooking in all of my visits there. (I prefer mine firmly medium rare)
I am also a HUGE fan of their seasoned rice. It took me forever but I did find a recipe for it and then tweaked it some more. For anyone interested in how to make Texas Roadhouse rice at home here is a link to the recipe.This copycat recipe for Teaxas Roadhouse Rice is even better than their version!

My main complaint with Texas Roadhouse is the young ladies working the hostess stand and their "call ahead seating" Our experience at the Newark restaurant is that they hire very young teen girls to answer the phone and do the seating. Nine times out of 10 they screw it up. And they are very snippy and often just outright rude. Give a young teen a little bit of power and watch what happens. To date I have never had any luck at all with call ahead seating so I really do not know why they bother.
The waitstaff is usually very good and only a couple times have we had bad service once we get past the hostess stand.
I do not like that many of the side dishes are obviously microwaved. I have gotten the vegetable that were warm on top and very cold in the middle. Someone needs to teach them that you have to stir things when you heat them up in a microwave.
I will give them huge kudos for their ice tea. If you have read this blog you know I have a constant battle getting a decent glass of ice tea. Theirs is really good!
So bottom line if you want a great tasting steak for a great price go to Texas Roadhouse. If you use call ahead seating just know it probably didn't work and you will still wait a long time if you go on the weekend.
