Texas Roadhouse Experience

Recently opened in Bonifacio High Street at the Fort, we couldn’t resist trying the Texas Roadhouse Grill. We’re very pleased we did. Atmosphere-wise, the place oozed with that Western flair... cowboy decors, country ornaments, the works. The place was a little crowded though due to the high number of diners in a very limited space. As we munched on crunchy roasted goobers while waiting to be seated inside, we studied the menu and decided to try the Roadhouse Lite Salad. It was very good! Almost the same as the Italianni’s Sicilian Salad, it’s a fusion of crisp lettuce, ripe mangoes, grapes and bleu cheese, smothered with red wine Dijon dressing. I like the hint of sweetness brought about by the candied walnuts. For the entree, it was a touch decision choosing between Baby Back Ribs, Shrimp & Salmon Skewers and Cheesesteak Sandwich. But I opted to try the Sheriff’s Fish and Chips... hand-battered and deep-fried fish fillet strips, served with fries and corn on the cob. It was so good and very filling! I even had another serving of the tangy dipping sauce. Jimmy ordered Ma Barker’s Chicken Platter... grilled marinated chicken breast over a bed of Texas rice, fresh veggies and corn on the cob. The dish looked so delectable. Gelo had Parmesan Crusted Fish Fillet, topped with creamy Alfredo and Marinara sauces. So yummy! We had an awesome feast. There were so much to choose from the roster of dishes, from fajitas to steaks, to seafoood and fireside favorites. I commend Texas Roadhouse for being kid friendly, too. Kid’s meals are available for 12 years and below. Not bad at all, considering kids may not be able to finish their huge serving portions. To cap the night, we had the decadent Cowboy Chocolate cake... oozing with richness and tooth-aching delight. We also shared Mighty Oreo Mud Pie... layers of chocolate and coffee ice cream atop crushed Oreo cookie crust, coupled with Snickers candy pieces in between every bite. Heavenly! Our server was ultra regardful to our every need. Food and drinks were provided promptly. Overall, Texas Roadhouse Grill: delicious food, nice atmosphere, gratifying service, reasonable prices, worth it!
