We ate there today for the first time. We had eaten at other TRH restaurants before and I couldn't really remember the noise level being that much of an issue. We was there early today, somewhere before 5:00, and other than them wishing a woman happy birthday there was no noise at all. We was able to talk without any problem at all. I had the 10 oz. ribeye and the wife had the half BBQ chicken...both was excellent. I would go so far as to say that was the best steak I have had in a while. So unless we were just there too early for the real noise to start I'm not sure what all the ( it's too noisy ) is all about.. Oh, and the price wasn't bad either.
