This has become our "go-to" place when entertaining our daughter and her friends. This place is ALWAYS packed, but call ahead seating minimizes the wait. Everyone has steaks that are consistently good and the service is friendly and efficient. The best part is the end when you get the check. I'm not sure how they can deliver good steaks for... More

Typical Texas roadhouse fare, though oddly you can't get nachos here. The bread and cinnamon butter is really quite remarkable--almost worth coming for this. Service was remarkable--very good, and quite surprising for a restaurant like this.

This by far is the best restaurant to visit. Food is delicious, service is great. Love the warm buns, and butter.

I would give this place a 6.5 out of 10. for the following reasons. on the Positive: the Steaks that were ordered at our table were very... More

It may be a chain, but the food and friendliness of the staff make a good impression. I seem to take left overs home. Don't really like how packed in the tables are, but I guess room is money.

Was had by our family, they had some great appetizers & we had very tender steaks, chicken & filet. Mom loved the "road kill" & several loved the mushrooms so much they double ordered them. I only wish they had the ability to put us all (13) together instead of back to back tables... It's a college town & the... More

I know this place is hopping most times, but service can be very slow. After being ignored at the meat case, went and sat at the bar - gave up on picking out my steak. It took about 10 min to eta beer despite having 2 bartenders and a backer at the bar when I showed up. Food was good... More

I Love the food here and can honestly say I have never had a bad meal. On the flipside, it is a little loud...not somewhere to go for a quiet dinner.

I usually don’t care for chains; however, I make an exception for this one. My steak was done to perfection, juicy and full of flavor. No A1 needed for this steak. In California you can expect to pay about $40 for this quality, I got my steak for 18.99, it’s called the Dallas something. I added mushrooms, and my sides... More

One of the best steaks I have ever had. Better than the very expensive Steak Houses. You have to put up with country music being played load and the atmosphere is very causual. Our server was quick to get us out the door even though we would have stayed for another drink. The steak however was worth the minor inconveniences.
