Texas Steakhouse

Cinnamon butter and dinner rolls

bucket of peanuts

cup of chili

Last night, I went out to the Texas Roadhouse Steakhouse with my buddy CC. He wanted to thank me for all my help over the years with all the great volunteering opportunities and gigs. He has been a good buddy over the last few years at least 7! Wow time has flown! Whenever I am involved with a community organization, gala, event I know I can ask him for assistance. So we met up and had steak. I had other options but once in a while I want to enjoy a good steak.
It was my first time there but if you take public transport, not very convenient as it is a good 10-15 minute walk from Wellington Station. We did witness a few bdays that night. They put the person on this saddle and then put the "light" on you. From there, they ask the whole restaurant to say a nice and loud "yeeee haw" to the birthday recipient. (I admit better than the Bugaboo Creek chant of "Happy Bday" multiple times coupled with clapping. I had celebrated a bday there and heard it one night seriously 20 times. A record and bit of annoyance to be truthful.)

There is a peanut bucket. (I did not partake). I had one too many of the awesome dinner buns with the delicious cinnamon butter. I opted for the medium size --16 oz prime rib medium rare (boy was it rare and a bit too chewy). CC assured me it is usually not this chewy. They were not kidding when they said it was bloody, which is fine with me but I wish it was not so chewy. HMMMM. The mash potatoes and gravy were tasty. The chili was just right too. By the end of the meal, I had no room for dessert! It was a good meal for value and being a chain. (I cannot have the same standards for some chi chi place to compare with this place anyways.)

Thanks CC for a great meal!
