Several days back, I received an email from Texas Roadhouse celebrating their 20th Anniversary. In our book, that's 240 Month-i-versaires, and that's a mighty long time. The email stated that all you have to do is go to Texas Roadhouse and pick up a sealed envelope, keep it unopened, and then bring it back between the dates of June 22 and 26th. The Manager will then open the envelope, revealing the prize you will receive. The Main Prizes are a 65" TV, a BBQ Grill, a James Avery Gift Card, or Free Steak for a Year. There are various other prizes also. Well, we did just that. We picked up our envelope and kept it in a jar of mayonnaise on Funk & Wagnalls porch (just like Carnac the Magnificent did) for safekeeping.
On Tuesday, the day arrived, and we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. We checked in with the Hostess, and it was easy to find our booth. We just followed the aroma coming from the Basket of Fresh Hot Rolls they provide with their Honey Cinnamon Butter. First thing we did was grab one of those Delicious Rolls, added lots of that Honey Cinnamon butter, and began one of life's greatest pleasures. These Rolls are Awesomelyliciousnes.
Our Server, Keleigh, came over and took our drink order. We both are having their Daily Special, Long Island Iced Teas (for only 5-bucks ea). We looked over the menu while our drinks were being made. Soon, Keleigh brought over our drinks, and we placed our order. My Wife and I both are going with their "Road Kill": 10 oz Chopped Steak, Seasoned with their Signature Steak Seasoning, smothered with Yellow Onions & Bella Mushrooms sauteed in Butter, topped with melted Jack Cheese. Served with two sides. We both went with the "House Salad": Fresh Greens, Cheddar Cheese, Tomatoes & Crumbled Egg with Croutons. Also, Ranch Dressing. She went with the "Seasoned Rice"; Rich, Buttery, and Savory prepared using Long Grain White Rice, Chicken & Beef Broth, Soy Sauce, Yellow Onion, Smoked Paprika, and Garlic Powder with Black Pepper. I am having the "Texas Red Chili": Made from scratch, Ground-up Steak Trimmings & Rich Tomato & Beef Broth Base, heavily seasoned with Chili Powder & Cumin. Topped with Shredded Cheddar Cheese and chopped White Onion.
While we waited for our food, we enjoyed those Long Island Iced Teas. Texas Roadhouse makes the Best LITs around. Lots of flavor from all the liquor blended in this masterpiece by their Bartenders. We also ate the basket of Rolls, which were served Fresh, Hot, and Meltylicious. Soon, the House Salads arrived, and no one in town makes them like TRH does. They are not only a Beautiful Presentation of Deliciousness, but are served Fresh, Cold and Crisp. They don't skimp on size either; it covers the entire plate. We enjoyed our salads, and soon after, my Cup of Texas Red Chili arrived. I Love Red Chili, and get this almost every time we come here - it's that good. Not only is it flavorful, but also Very Warm with just the right amount of Chili Heat for me. One of these times, I am going to order a Bowl of this Texas Red Chili. It should go perfectly with their Fresh Hot Rolls. But that's next time, maybe, or the time after that. They have so much to choose from, it's hard to decide what enjoyment you want.
Shortly after my Chili was devoured, they brought out our "Road Kill". This is the first time my Lovely Wife has ordered the Road Kill, and it's probably the upteenth time for me. It is also the Best Road Kill I have ever had, anywhere. It's known as Chopped Steak at other restaurants, but TRH names it properly. It makes me wonder what road they use.
Both are a thing of Beauty, and they are not skimping on size. The toppings are also plentiful and look delicious. Mine is Med-Rare, while Nancy's ordered Medium. Her first bite said it all, because she took a second bite before she said anything. This is some Good Road Kill. I love how they season this chopped steak, it's amazinglylicious with every bite, juicy and full of flavor. The Sauteed Mushrooms & Onions only add more flavor to this Perfectly Seasoned Road Kill. I finished all of mine and am completely stuffed to the gills. Nancy ate half of hers and took it home with the Seasoned Rice for Lunch on Wednesday.
Keleigh was a delight to talk to, checked on us at just the right time. She is not only a Top Server, but Very Beautiful. She also earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'above-n-beyond' the norm. And she bartends here at times, and we look forward to seeing her again. Keleigh also noticed that I'm a Veteran and gave us 10% off our meal. The Manager stopped by our booth to see how we are doing, and also opened up our envelope to see what gift was in store for us. (I did wipe all the mayo off) We didn't win the 65" TV, or any of the other Big Prizes, but we did win a "Sidekick of Shrimp or Ribs", which is great for us because both of these are some really good stuff. We come here a lot and look forward to enjoying our next choices. read more
