The first time we visited this place, the food was outstanding. Going back for a second time, we…read moreboth ordered a half rack of baby back ribs, I asked for a side of mac & cheese and a baked sweet potato. When the food was delivered to our table extraordinarily quickly, we both noticed that our food was cold, as in as cold as being pulled out of the fridge, slathered with a little BBQ sauce and put on a plate. The only thing warm in my order was the baked sweet potato. Their version of "Texas Toast" was toasted white bread, not even Wonder Bread. No flavor to the cold white bread toast. Nothing special to write home about on this visit, which was disappointing, considering it was a Friday, usually one of the busiest times for most restaurants. This place was practically empty when we pulled into the lot. When we brought it to the attention of the staff, the young lady who was our server was busy helping every other table and not looking toward us. I got the attention of the manager and when he came over, I explained that everything (except the baked sweet potato) was cold. He took up both plates, apologized profusely and took the plates into the kitchen. This got the attention of our server and she asked what was wrong. When he explained to her that all of both plates were cold, she finally came over to talk to us and briefly explained they had a new person in the kitchen. I was thinking, if you have a new person in the kitchen, how bad is it when they can't understand that hot food needs to be cooked in order to be considered "hot"? The second plates they brought out were "warmer" than the previous ones but not by much. It was warm enough to eat and it still tasted good, the meat still fell off the bones and it was filling. The "Texas Toast" is NOT Texas Toast, no matter how you define it. In the end, when a restaurant makes a mistake like that, they usually compensate the patrons for their mistake. We were charged full price for our meal, which we paid without a problem, but this was NOT the "A Team" of this restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the food tasted good but the initial presentation wasn't on par with opur previous experience here. We will come back again, hoping they will perform as good as they did the first time we were there.

We both had salads and sweet potatoes for our sides. The wife ordered a mocktail. Heineken 0.0 for me. The food was good for the price. We both really enjoyed the bread. Our chicken were tender. The BBQ sauce was different but I enjoyed it. Their BBQ sauce does not taste as strong as other offerings. I like the sauce because it was different. It was a nice mild taste. We like coming to Texas Roadhouse for a change of pace. If we both ate steak, we would come here more often.

My family and I chose to celebrate my two-year-old son's birthday at Texas Roadhouse, and what…read moreshould have been a special night turned into a major disappointment. We completely understand that restaurants get busy -- especially on weekends -- but being essentially turned away because it was "too busy" was unacceptable. There was no real attempt to accommodate us, no clear communication about realistic wait times, and no effort to make us feel valued as customers. For a place that markets itself as family-friendly and big on hospitality, this experience fell far short. This wasn't just a random dinner -- it was my toddler's birthday. We chose this restaurant expecting a welcoming atmosphere and a memorable experience for our family. Instead, we left feeling frustrated, inconvenienced, and honestly embarrassed after building up the excitement for him. Busy is understandable. Poor guest management and lack of care -- especially when a young child's birthday is involved -- is not. I truly hope ownership and management take situations like this seriously. Families choose your establishment for special occasions, and how situations like this are handled speaks volumes. Highly dissatisfied with this experience.

I'm not on the southern side too much, so it was my first time ever seeing or hearing of this truck. There was a selection of tacos, baskets, sliders and sides. They had some tacos I was not used to seeing, such as smoked brisket tacos, sweet chili shrimp tacos and haddock (fish) tacos. I got a shrimp and haddock one for myself... OMG... they were bursting with the flavor and the aiolis (jalapeno and sweet chili respectively) were delicious with them -- you can see the other ingredients on the menu. It's o random side, yes, but I got the seaweed salad with them and was so delicious. I was quite satisfied from this meal alone, but I later on wanted to get nachos. I got an order of chicken ones, and... all the yes. I loved the chips, sauces and everything else that came with it. I don't know when I'll get to see them again, but when I do...

Their menu is seasonal, so I was disappointed that they didn't have their popular rockfish sliders - oh, well - another reason to check them out again! When we went, they had tacos (southwest chicken, smoked brisket, and sweet chili shrimp), soups (crab and minestrone), sliders (smoked Philly steak and cheese, spicy chicken, and BBQ brisket), and baskets (hand-cut fries). We ordered the 3 types of tacos (southwest chicken (fried chicken with cheddar Jack, pico de gallo, sriracha cream, and lettuce), smoked brisket (brisket, pico, cheddar Jack, BBQ, and lettuce), and the sweet chili shrimp (fried shrimp with pico, cheddar Jack, sweet chili aioli, and lettuce) with a side of hand-cut fries. They all came in a flour tortilla. Our favorite was the southwest chicken, because the chicken was perfectly fried; the toppings were ample, and I really liked the sriracha cream. The sweet chili shrimp was good, too, but definitely on the sweeter end; if you like sweet chili, this item is for you! The fries were perfectly fried, crisp, and seasoned.

It's conveniently located right off the street. Parking is a little limited out front, but if you park around the back it's not bad at all.

Less than a mile away, I walked in and saw that it was a nicely designed and classy restaurant with a bar room that was separate from the main dining area. Decided on their 2-eggs breakfast with some coffee and an appetizer of Brussels sprouts. All very good, although the biscuit that came was a little too overcooked and hard to my liking. But everything else was delicious and the sprouts were a nice way to start my meal. Although I was full, I heard their carrot cake was good. I decided to get it to go. Glad I did because the slice was enormous. A few days later I'm still snacking on that same slice. Overall, lovely place to get breakfast, especially if the diner nearby is too crowded. Beautiful interior and great service sealed the deal.

It's the kind of sensory preview that makes you quicken your step. The restaurant is bookable via Resy, making it an easy choice for those looking to apply dining credits from American Express Gold or Platinum cards, always a welcome convenience when planning a night out. Despite being a weekday, the dining room was notably busy, buzzing with the energy of what feels like a family-run establishment. There's a warmth to the atmosphere, personal, lived-in, and authentic, that suggests a loyal local following. That said, it was clear the crowd may have slightly outpaced staffing levels. While the service itself was courteous and attentive, there were noticeable delays with drinks and refills, understandable, though worth mentioning. We started with the Southern Maryland Crab Dip, which delivered solid flavor and a generous blend of cheese and crab. I would have welcomed a bit more artichoke heart for balance, and perhaps an additional slice or two of bread. With only four slices provided, the ratio leaned heavily in favor of the dip, fortunate in abundance, but impractical in execution, as even those slices were quickly overwhelmed. The Chicken Kabob proved to be a reliable and satisfying choice, tender, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully plated. The accompanying sides of sautéed broccoli and grilled zucchini were properly portioned, with the zucchini sliced just thick enough to retain its texture and flavor. When deciding between the Makaronia Me Kima, Basil Pesto, Galazio Special Carbonara, and Pastitsio, I deferred to the waiter's recommendation. Without hesitation, he pointed to the Pastitsio, a choice that paid off. Comforting and familiar, it's a dish many have enjoyed in different forms without necessarily knowing its proper name. The portion was generous enough to leave me with leftovers, which made for an excellent lunch the following day. Dessert brought the evening to a high note with the Greek Chocolate Mousse Cake. Lighter than expected, it avoided the density often associated with chocolate desserts while still delivering richness and satisfaction. The portion was ample and easily shareable. Overall, it was a very good dining experience, welcoming, flavorful, and largely well-executed. One small disappointment, however, came in the form of a missed detail. When booking, the reservation notes requested acknowledgment of my GF's birthday, not a complimentary dessert or special treatment, just a simple candle to mark the occasion. Unfortunately, it went unnoticed. It's a minor thing in the grand scheme, but one that matters in moments meant to be remembered. Had I known it wouldn't be honored, I would have brought a candle myself. That aside, the experience was still a positive one. I would recommend the restaurant and expect to return. With just a bit more attention to the finer details, it could easily elevate itself from good to truly memorable.

When I walked in, the host -- who was not very friendly -- asked how many were in my party. I said "1," and she immediately told me I would have to sit at the bar, even though there were several open tables. I politely asked if I could sit at one of the two-top tables, but she said no because they were for reservations. I explained that I preferred not to sit at the bar. Looking back, I probably should have left then, but I was hungry, so I stayed. Once seated, I asked for the crab dip, only to find out they no longer had it. I then ordered the lamb chops, which I had enjoyed during my previous two visits. This time, however, they came out extremely pink and undercooked. I was shocked. The waitress told me they "don't cook them well done," but offered to take them back and have them cooked a little longer. Unfortunately, when they returned, they were still pink/red and literally bleeding. The waitress then said she was going to get "Mama" from the back. I told her that wasn't necessary if the restaurant simply does not prepare lamb chops well done anymore. I was very disappointed and didn't realize things had changed over the last few months. Overall, the customer service was poor, and the food quality was nowhere near what I experienced during my previous visits. The pictures shown are from when she brought them back to me.
