Texas Roadhouse Appleton Wisconsin

My wife is a teacher, and so I asked her where we should go to dinner to celebrate the end of another good school year. She said, "What about Texas Roadhouse?" We have eaten there several times, and we always enjoyed it. The Dallas Filet Mignon steaks are very tasty, and the bbq ribs were delicious, too (not as good as Famous Dave's mind you, but very good nonetheless).

Tonight, I ordered the grilled salmon, and my wife had the USDA six ounce Choice Sirloin steak (medium well). I should have ordered the steak. It was fabulous! (Thank God that my wonderful beautiful wife was willing to share with me!) It was one of the best steaks I have ever tasted at a restaurant. Very juicy, no fat, grill marks on the surface, it was just perfect!

The huge sweet potato covered with marshmallows was also delicious, almost like eating candy.

You can order two sides with your steak, and I chose the house salad. It had fresh greens, egg pieces, croutons, tomatoes, and I added crumbled pieces of blue cheese. It was terrific. I also had the seasoned rice, which was only ok. It tasted like Rice-a Roni.

Now on to the grilled salmon. It was tender and juicy, and covered with butter. It was very good. If you like salmon, you can't go wrong.

But the steak was heavenly.

We were also tremendously impressed with the friendly service. The hostesses seated us right away, and we were served promptly, and the waitress even stayed around to watch Jeanne cut into her steak to make sure that it was cooked to order.

I would have to give Texas Roadhouse an award for 2006's best steak chain. The steaks are far superior to the ones you get at Ponderosa and Golden Corral. And the baked potatoes are huge and delicious, especially with lots of butter.
