[REDCART]

We tried Texas Roadhouse for the first time today. It was noon, and the parking lot appeared full. So we were pleasantly surprised when they took us directly to a table. The place is huge! The fried pickle appetizer was delicious. The warm dinner rolls and cinnamon butter were a nice touch. The real surprise was the burgers. We've had great burgers before at Square One, Glenview, and Havana CC, and even the Shell Blue Plate Deli (or whatever it's called these days). The Texas RH Angus burgers were 8 oz, cooked as ordered and juicy, and better than the others. My wife and I each cut our burger in half and took the other half home. Never did that before. Just ate the other half of my burger tonight for dinner. I know Texas RH is known for their steaks, but we'd go back again for their burgers in a heartbeat. They play country music loud, which makes normal conversation difficult but otherwise it was a fun lunch experience. We both had raspberry lemonade, very good but the Goose Island IPA on tap was very tempting.
