It's worth the drive, as we went to Belvidere from Crystal Lake to try this place out. This is a seasonal restaurant and it was opening weekend. We waited a long winter to try it out! It's located in the middle of nowhere where and definitely gives off country vibes... which is great! Once inside you place you order and pay and find a table to sit inside a large barn turned restaurant. They give you a buzzer, but someone will bring the food to your table. In the warmer months, they provide outdoor seating which is inviting. I opted for the pulled pork sandwich, baked sweet potato and their mac n cheese. I also tried a slice of their cherry pie. The pulled pork came in a generous portion, moist and flavorful. I enjoyed their original BBQ sauce that they also make in house. The sweet potato was good with the butter and brown sugar. Unfortunately, I would not get the Mac n cheese again, not impressed by it. Basically, overcooked noodles, lackluster cheese sauce and already chilled from being placed in a container to serve. My husband had the brisket sandwich and unfortunately said it was a bit over cooked and dry. I shared my pork sandwich with him and he obviously agreed with me that it was very good. We will return for the pork and we want to try their BBQ ribs next time too. Oh! The cherry pie is also made in house and it was pretty good also! Definitely deserving of 4 stars, we will be back!

Our drinks arrived quickly soon followed with the awesome Catcus Blossom. Our entrees arrived still sizzling from the grill , not only did the food look amazing , the smells were out of this world !! Also the manager stopped at our booth to say hello and welcome us for our first visit. I highly recommend Texas Roadhouse. They run a well oiled service staff that are knowledgeable and very helpful and friendly. Nicholas was a 5 STAR server and we will definitely return for the great food & welcoming service. Thanks for a wonderful anniversary dinner!

My guy and I were really excited to try this place after reading the reviews. It was a bit of a…read moreletdown by the end of the meal. We started with the Gogi Mandu, which were adorable, but insanely tiny. You can barely fit any filling into it with the size they make it, which is not accepted when they were essentially $1/each. The dipping sauce wasn't tasty either. My guy had the Bibimbap, which was average. They gave small amounts of the veggies and I didn't find it to have much flavor, but my guy enjoyed it. I got Japchae, which is one of my fave Korean dishes. My dish was actually room temp on the right half and piping hot with drier bulgogi on the left half. I ended up sending it back since it had clearly been sitting partially under a heat lamp for a while. They were very nice about the whole ordeal and the manager even came up to apologize, which wasn't necessary, but appreciated. My second Japchae definitely came out hot, but there was a big inconsistency between the amounts that came in the two dishes. The first had a lot more egg and bulgogi with a small amount of veggies. The second was the opposite for each. Pretty weird. I honestly really enjoyed the flavor of my dish and would get it again. They didn't overdue it with the sauce, which is always important for me. However, if this was a place I regularly frequented, I wouldn't be happy with how different the dishes can be.
