If I could give a million stars to an eatery on Yelp, it would be this one. A couple of Fridays ago, I had a long travel day. Since airfare between Toronto and Minneapolis was still highway robbery during a seat sale, I chose the cheaper option of flying between Toronto and Winnipeg, and doing a road trip between Winnipeg and Minneapolis. Cheaper. I also like to drive. My day started at 4:40 am Eastern. I got to Winnipeg just before 10 am. I was ready for food by the time I got to Grand Forks, which is almost the midpoint between Winnipeg and Minneapolis. Friends have told me to go visit Texas Roadhouse. What did it for me was seeing my Yelp friend, Guy, take a photo of a beautifully cooked sirloin steak. I wanted it. Badly. I've done this route between Winnipeg and Rochester, MN countless times. However, I was a bit rusty with a rest stop just north of Grand Forks. I forgot that it's shared with northbound and southbound traffic, so I needed to turn left to access it instead of right. I didn't bother slamming on the brakes and going into a tailspin. It was cold and the ramp was icy. My bladder needed attention by the time I got to his eatery. I backed into a snow-covered, frozen parking spot and walked in. I got a woman at the front. She asked me if I was okay with bar seating. I said that I was if this eatery was full. It wasn't at roughly 2 pm on a Friday. I asked for a booth instead. I got a man taking me to the booth. We passed by a display of raw steaks. "Did you want to pick out your steak?" he asked me. "I'd need to see a menu. It's my first time here," I replied. I saw the washrooms after I asked him where they were. He asked me if I wanted peanuts. I said yes. I basically took off my jacket and attended to my bladder. The women's washroom was clean. I used it again just before I hit the road. The booth that I was in was comfy. I got a bag of peanuts with the shells on. I had one bag during my stay in Minneapolis. Delicious! I got rolls to start. Each roll was fluffy and warm, slightly sweet, with butter brushed on top. They come with cinnamon honey butter, which was to-die-for delectable. Savanna was my server.Communication between staffers was incredible. She found out that I was a newbie. She said that I could sample three sides for free. Wow! I tried the following samplers: - Texas red chili - Green beans - Mushrooms Excellent! The chili was flavourful and had ground beef. The green beans were perfectly done with bacon. The mushrooms were hearty and yummy. The sampler was brought out by the Mia, the marketing manager. I got an offer for a free side dish the next time. She was friendly. I wasn't expecting such a warm welcome. They likely don't get too many travellers these days, especially from Canada. I order the following for my meal: - 8-ounce sirloin with garlic shrimp, garlic bread, corn, and apple sauce - Diet Coke I got my Diet Coke with my peanuts and rolls. It was fizzy and cold. I got refills often. My meal came with two sides. I loved the corn and apple sauce. The former had butter. The latter was my dessert because my meal was exceptionally filling! My main had arrived. I got the sirloin steak medium. It was flavourful and perfectly done. My mouth is watering as I long for another sirloin from this place. Savanna got me sauteed onions on the side. They were excellent with the steak and were complimentary. The garlic bread under everything was a surprise hit. They were garlicky and buttery. I still think about it. There was a gift card promotion. If I bought a $30 gift card, I got $5 for free. Gift cards don't expire and can be used at any Texas Roadhouse. I said yes. I settled the bill at the table. There was a payment system that worked efficiently. I tapped and was done. My server took service to a whole new level. She asked me where I was coming from. I told her my story. She was so thrilled to have me. She asked if she could send me off with a fresh order of rolls. OMG! I felt like I got the VIP treatment. It was so kind. I got four rolls with a side of cinnamon honey butter in a box, all packed up for me. She also threw in another bag of peanuts. I had them for breakfast. They were so perfect warmed up. I slathered the cinnamon honey butter like the world was going to end. Fabulous! For someone who just wanted to rest her eyes from staring at flat land for hours and get some grub, this place made me feel special. I don't know if they do that for tourists like this Canadian or it's the usual treatment. I loved it. Thanks to everyone for making my first Texas Roadhouse experience a special and wonderful one. When I'm doing this run again, I'll definitely return for more good eats. (487)

It's a dive bar, so I'm not expecting grade A, but have the list available to people. Odd there was a bouncer at the door. Like it's a restaurant. Must get rowdy?? I don't know. It was Saturday at 7pm when we were there, nothing out of the ordinary. Now, this is not our first time eating here. We are from out of town and probably make it to grand forks once a year maybe. The first time we had wings here, out of this world!! This time...soup master zero. Absolutely drowning in sauce. And they were 5000 degrees, so too hot to eat and handle. By the time we were able to eat them, soggy. The wings themselves also, in our humble opinion too big. The drummies where huge!! I dont like them that big, again just adds to the texture problem. We got traditional buffalo level 15. Flavor was excellent and heat was nice and hot, but not challenging. Also got the peanut butter. Fun!! And the jelly side dip was an excellent pairing. Wouldn't want more than 6, honestly 3 would be good as a fun little novelty. The deep fried okra was a hard pass. Bland, soggy, stupid. Don't bother.

The crowd was mostly younger, but it felt like everyone was comfortable and just there to have a good time. We ordered a pizza and jalapeño poppers. The poppers were a miss, there were not many, and the flavor just was not great. The pizza though was solid, and their Friday deal for an extra large at 14 dollars was a nice surprise. They also have a good selection of beers and mixed drinks. Service was rough at first. Our server forgot our ranch and drinks a couple of times, but once another server jumped in to help, things got better.
