Had not been to a TR in ages. Times have changed. No peanuts on the floor anymore but peanuts and a bucket to put the shells in. Ok I can handle that. We were one of the first in at the opening of the afternoon. Wow these folks are prepared! Great service. Good menu and even did the early bird specials. Priced right with everything you need for a meal. Wife loved the chicken and the pulled pork was great! Huge portions and great flavor. Wait staff is well orchestrated. Come on back!
Shoutout to lizzie, she was really attentive and fun during our experience here, top notch hospitality. The food is always great, only complaint is sometimes I order my steak medium and it comes to the table well done. I hate chewy steak but everything else came hot and fresh and the rolls are to die for. SERIOUSLY!
I've been going with my family members to the Texas Roadhouse in Joliet since it opened in 2000. From the moment you walk in and our greeted with a smile by the staff to seeing and feeling the wonderful atmosphere and the music. It's always busy and full of laughter and cheer. The staff is always very friendly. I've had almost everything on the menu and it is all delicious. The portions are big and the price is very affordable. I've eaten at some so called high class restaurants and found there very expensive steaks to be no better then here. This night we had Emily and Emma as our waitress/server. These young ladies both greet you with a big smile, a kind, and caring demeanor and with a sense of humor. Between either one of these two ladies you will want for nothing. Because they are on top of it. Emily and Ema are top notch waitresses/servers. I would request one of them when you eat here and once you have. I believe you will make this your steakhouse. I thank you Emily and Ema for making our evening very enjoyable. Steven S. and family.
One of our go to fast spots when we are in the mood for a steak that isn't a "boogie" sit down Chicago steak house affair. The rolls are addictive, the fare reasonably priced and while the cocktails aren't homemade or anything to write home about, they are tasty and consistent. We eat here once a month or so and enjoy a meal at the bar if we see a crazy wait in the dining room.
I'm a huge fan of Texas Roadhouse because it's consistent. If you've gone enough, you know to put yourself on the waitlist, especially if it's for dinner and crucial if it's the weekend. It was my first time at this location and as per usual, it was bustling. My party of 2 was small but I placed us on the waitlist 10 minutes before we arrived. Once we arrived, we checked in online and went up to the hosts to inform them of our arrival. Thankfully a table for 2 opened up when we got there so we didn't have to wait long. I would recommend not only waitlisting yourselves but also check with the hosts if your group is larger than 6 so they can accommodate. The staff are typically always welcoming and nice at this chain - I liked that they seemed to have adequate staffing during a busy Saturday night. Our server Luis was great and the wait for our food wasn't extremely long; average for a busy weekend dinner. I get the Texas-size combos and usually have enough for leftovers. Their filet steaks are always amazing and the pairing with ribs is always a good move. We also got the 16 oz prime rib which was a great value.
Food was great as usual, cooked right, plentiful and bread was always AMAZING SERVICE WAS GREAT, kept up with with us if we needed anything! Unlike most places where they forget you in the sea of people we love it
One of the burdens a Foodie must endure is the situation where a friend suggests a resto you know isn't going to "cut the mustard". If you're a jagoff foodie, you complain and campaign to go somewhere else (ignoring the fact the errant place might be a particular favorite of the friend). If you're a TRUE Foodie, you turn disappointment into opportunity and use your knowledge and experience to find something edible, and I've found 9 times out of 10, it's pretty easy to do. We used to be avid fans of Texas Roadhouse, until the greedy bastards shuttered our local store, only to build a larger one on a busier street down the way from the previous address. Nowadays, growth from Corporate restaurants usually means degradation in quality. Such was the case with our local T.R.. We don't patronize it anymore, and it put us off T.R. since. So when I found myself bound to a T.R. (not our local store) as it was the choice of the group of the day, I wasn't happy-but I'm not a jagoff foodie. Texas Roadhouse puts a number of their steaks on display in a cold counter right at the front door. As I was the first there, I took a look. The steaks looked fine in quality, and I was encouraged. Well. I swung with their Sirloin 'cos it caught my eye in the display. A decent Caesar for starters, and then the entree appeared. I like my steaks rare, even occasionally bleu. The one presented was closer to hard well-done. The attentive server agreed it wasn't as ordered and took it back without rancor. the replacement was returned in short order, and it was perfect temperature, and turned out to be a quite tasty feed along with the accompanying baked potato. Shows to go ya, not every rose has thorns. We'll give our local T.R. another chance.
Let me open by saying completely out of my standard. I do not visit large chain restaurants. Very happy I gave this one a try. A Saturday evening visit. Parking lot full. Wait approx 40 minutes (took 25). Crowd and wait is expertly handled with very cheery and accommodating staff. Our server, Michael, was extremely attentive and helpful. Started with $5 Long Islands for wife and myself. House salad and blooming onion. Salad plate served chilled... nice. Onion served with a lovely horseradish dip. Both better than I expected on a very crowded night. Steaks served perfect. Med rare. Flavorful. Oh yeah, forgot the basket of warm rolls and cinnamon butter. Overall the staff made up for the crowd by efficiently handling the flow. I made mention to the manager on the way out that he has a well performing team. $$ very modest for the meal I was served. We will return.
