In a world where fast food restaurants and mainstream restaurants chains reign over our society and diets, only one restaurant stands out when it comes to quality in dining experience and delectable taste: Texas Roadhouse.
Ever since its inception in 1993, Texas Roadhouse has been aiming to satisfy customers through both their Southern-inspired aesthetic and hearty meal choices that have kept customers coming back to this day. Texas Roadhouse sets itself apart from other major restaurants for a multitude of reasons. First and foremost, its look.
The exterior of the restaurant tells you everything you need to know about what aesthetic the restaurant is going for: American Southern. This aesthetic may not be for everyone, but it certainly follows through on that aesthetic choice once you enter the building.
The interior is a packed yet cozy country-heavy mix-match. There is usually a small crane machine for children to play with while they wait to be seated, a glass case showing off the steaks the restaurant is offering for the night, and the walls that are covered with country music star memorabilia and art from Dolly Parton to Keith Urban. TVs are also scattered throughout the restaurant; if you and your friends want to catch a game while enjoying a delicious meal, Texas Roadhouse is just the place for that.
One of the best parts about Texas Roadhouse and most definitely what Texas Roadhouse is known for are their dinner rolls. Texas Roadhouse dinner rolls are exquisite. What makes them so popular among the masses is that they come with cinnamon butter rather than typical butter that people normally offer at restaurants. The cinnamon butter rolls are many consumers’ favorite item at the restaurant because of its sweet taste and buttery-doughy texture that melts in your mouth the moment it hits your tongue.
The restaurant’s novelty steaks are also fantastic because not only do they have a variety of cuts that customers can dig into but also the restaurant cooks them to absolute perfection. Also, the addition of mushrooms and gravy just adds even more flavor to the juicy and delectable steak.
For those who aren’t steak lovers, their other menu items are just as delicious and offer several choices such as burgers, ribs, pulled pork, chicken and fish. One of their best options is the smothered chicken which comes with sauteed mushrooms and onions, a choice of melted cheese or gravy and two sides.
The sides are also nothing to sleep on either since they come in a variety of unique styles. Their green beans are different from how other restaurants serve them due to Texas Roadhouse’s country style; they serve their green beans with bacon as a nod to the country inspiration of their restaurant.
Their desserts, though limited, are also sweet and tasty. The Granny’s Apple Classic is notably one of their most unique desserts with the slice of apple pie coming with vanilla ice cream and honey cinnamon applesauce. It’s a dessert that is not only tasty but perfectly fitting the country aesthetic.
What also makes Texas Roadhouse so great are its employees. The employees are enthusiastic and get into the spirit of the restaurant’s Southern-friendly atmosphere. They always wear a smile, sometimes talk in a Southern accent to fit into a character and most notoriously become very animated whenever it is someone’s birthday.
Birthday celebrations at celebrations are known to be awkward, but Texas Roadhouse does it the best by not only having their own country birthday song but by accompanying that song by having the lucky birthday individual hop on a wooden horse with a cowboy hat. This could seem embarrassing to some, but they do give the patron the option whether or not they wish to hop on the horse. Though, the song and enthusiasm alone bring a lot of fun and excitement that turn heads all around the restaurant.
Texas Roadhouse is a fun and enthusiastic restaurant to go to for any occasion that sets itself apart from other major restaurant chains by having great food, energetic staff, a cozy Country atmosphere and the best dinner rolls ever to keep customers coming back over and over to enjoy all of those qualities and more.
