text: So I really like steak I regularly patronize Outback for the affordable tasty meat they never fail to produce This first encounter with Texas Roadhouse yielded the following opinionsnnTexas Roadhouse is the American Cowboy version of the Aussie Outback Lots of similaritiesnOutback is however more flavorfulnThe sweet potato has more sugar but is somehow less sweet Still tasty thoughnI could do without the prime rib in the futurennWe were seated very quickly despite the busy night It was almost too quickly half our party was on the way to the table while the other was still trying to get through the front door Service was pleasant but brief also due to the busy night There were several birthdays in the house as evidenced by the echoing YeeHaws every so often Our small party ordered very similar meals to what we are accustomed to at Outback and that was probably a mistake I should not have put Outback expectations on Texas The salad was a perfectly fine side salad the veggies looked standard and the mashed potatoes had good flavor I enjoyed my sweet potato topped with toasted marshmallows and felt only a little guilty about it The prime rib however tasted like ham I do not actually like ham nor did I order it so I was not pleased with the taste in my beef I think it was slightly overcooked from my requested mediumrare but it was tender enough I was not too upset nnI would return to Texas Roadhouse if I was in the area and I would order sirloin But only after Yelping to make sure there are no Outbacks in the vicinity
