Texas Roadhouse is now the #1 franchised restaurant in the USA bumping off Olive Garden. I must…read moreagree that I prefer steak over pasta. But seriously is it the steak or rolls with cinnamon butter that are the major draw at steak house? I will let you ponder on that., My weekday dinner stop was somewhat brief being on the road with a schedule. No problem parking, or waltzing in and being offered seating. But first a look at the case to choose a steak. The dining room was tidy and hostess friendly. Soon after being seated my waitress arrived with drink order and rolls. I wasted no time lettering her know a Ft. Worth ribeye was chosen from the case and medium temp. The sides loaded sweet potato and mixed vegetables. For drink a tap beer. As I waited on my dinner the rolls smothered with cinnamon butter helped my appetite after not having lunch. The bread was hot and yummy! Within 20 minutes food hit the table and everything was correct. I love a great loaded sweet potato and hit that first, so good! The steak was a bit overcooked, but still delicious and no complaints. The mixed vegetables fresh. I did receive a follow up and offer for more rolls. The check was taken care of at the table on their machine. Although prices have skyrocketed I feel they have done better than others trying to hold the line. This Terre Haute Roadhouse was a solid stop and got me down the road.

When we left she said it was the nastiest spaghetti she's ever had. I asked twice for a water that never came also during my visit. All in all, I'd NEVER return. My issue was treated like I was looking for a discount and couldn't just be a conversation about how gross the food was. What terrible customer service.

The meat had zero seasoning, not even salt, and the breading wasn't any better. It was bland all the way through. The fries were fine, but they were obviously frozen and pre-made, so nothing special there. I also grabbed a slice of black raspberry pie to go, and I couldn't make it past one bite. Something was really off with the flavor--artificial, sour, and just unpleasant. To top it off, when I went to pay, I noticed a blatantly anti-trans poster behind the register. That kind of messaging has no place anywhere, let alone in a restaurant. I want to be clear: my food review stands on its own. The food was disappointing regardless. But if I'd seen that poster beforehand, they wouldn't have seen a dime from me. Maybe if they spent as much time learning how to season their food as they do spreading hate, they'd be better off.
