Texas Roadhouse - Trexlertown

A great dinner stop with a fun casual atmosphere, lots of tasty choices, and fast friendly service! Our way home from an impromptu family visit to Carbon county found us on our way home during the dinner hours. Fast food wasn’t going to cut it and we weren’t too terribly excited about some of the other options. “How about Texas Roadhouse?” I was asked. It seemed like as good of a time as any to give it our first try. Even though we came in during the dinner rush on a Sunday, we were still seated in less than 15 minutes. The tables were packed fairly tightly but weren’t uncomfortable and we were starving so didn’t really mind. A huge plus was being able to see the steaks as you walked to your seats and even being offered to select one while being seated! Of course you can’t mention Texas Roadhouse without talking about the free bread that comes with cinnamon butter! Be sure to ask for extra butter (the servers are instructed to only give you one small cup with 4 rolls, which definitely isn’t enough). Because we were on the road, we decided to skip drinks and just get entrees but had more than enough to eat. I got the rib platter with salad and a loaded baked potato. (I asked for extra BBQ sauce for the ribs which came in very clutch!) The potato was tasty but the option of getting it “loaded” didn’t really add a lot (a few overcooked bacon bits and a small handful of shredded cheese, no sour cream). My wife got a ribeye and shrimp combo and also opted for a potato and salad but didn’t get hers loaded. We were innocuously asked if we wanted bleu cheese crumbles and then was unpleasantly surprised to see 0.79 added to each entree. Also as mentioned previously, the 1.29 extra for a “loaded” potato didn’t really add much. Other than that, prices were fair and I don’t have complaints there. We’ll come back and try some of their other options next time. Thanks, Texas Roadhouse!
