Texas Road House is actually in Tracy, 15 minutes from our house.

I
have not been writing as many restaurant reviews, as Sheri and I have
had to adjust our budget a little. However, we went out for our
anniversary, and settled on Texas Road House as I had a coupon for my
birthday which was set to expire.
It was a very nice feast. Sheri had the bone in rib eye steak with baked potato
and corn. For my part I had Caesar salad for starters, sirloin steak
with mushrooms and shrimp, baked potato with the toppings of sour cream
and bacon bits, and side of chili. I drank water with a twist of lemon,
while Sheri had strawberry lemonade. The meal started with rolls with
cinnamon butter, and peanuts. I guess the custom is to throw them on
the floor. I wasn’t much into that and kept them on a plate, and Sheri
on the table. I did brush the inner shell off onto the floor, Sheri got
one of those in her drink. The Caesar salad they brought was
delicious. Every leave had been covered in dressing. It was very
tasty. I cannot say for Sheri, but my steak was delicious. I love
steak and mushrooms with steak. It takes me back to days with Sheri’s
father cooking steak and mushrooms. I also really enjoyed the shrimp.
They were on a skewer, and a bit hard to get off, but were served with
lots of garlic butter. The chili was a hot one, but delicious and made
your hair stand on end. The bonus coupon was for a side of ribs which
were also very good. Sheri and I shared, but I ate them mostly. As for
Sheri’s steak she said it was very good. I ate her corn. It was very
sweet, and had liquid in it so wasn’t only mediocre. It wasn’t on the
cob.
One
thing about this meal, we filled ourselves up on so many peanuts, we
had plenty to take home. I ate my leftovers for lunch at work.
As
for the things that could have been better, there is a wait even with
call-ahead seating. It is very noisy, and then for some reason the
waitresses decided to dance to a song, and they cranked up the music
even louder. Not a place for an intimate conversation. As for the
food, very good. I guess when I got my baked potato I wasn’t in the
mood for it and regretted not getting fries.
