We went to the new Texas Roadhouse about a week after they opened. We normally eat lunch out 2 or 3 times a week, not big on eating dinner out. I saw on the website they opened at 3pm. We arrived at 2:45 and the parking lot was full and people driving around looking for a spot to park.

We walked in and was seated immediately in the bar area. I asked what time do you open and they said 3pm, but we opened early today. I always liked the chopped steak with a slice of onion on top at Codys, so I ordered their version called 'Road Kill'. The place was already louder than Cody's and suddenly all the staff lined up in a row, maybe 20 to 25 people, and the music shot up even louder and they all started dancing and clapping their hands. I think the hand claps is what really put it over the edge when they are standing about 3' away.

The food was just OK, prices were very good at lunch, but I think we'll stay with Cody's at LSL, Outback and Longhorn.
