ORIGINALLY POSTED TO MY OLD YELP ACCOUNT IN DECEMBER, 2011. SINCE THAT POSTING WE HAVE ALSO BEEN TO THE ONE IN MURRIETA, CA, AND WE FOUND BOTH THE SAME GREAT SERVICE AND QUALITY FOOD AS WE FOUND AT THE PEORIA, AZ LOCATION. We found this restaurant almost by accident, but I'll take accidents like this any day! We drove to AZ specifically to eat at a restaurant that apparently closed down about three years ago. Since there were was almost no place to park at this one, we decided to check it out. When we first walked in and saw that they were crowded at not quite 5PM, we knew we'd hit paydirt! This place hand cuts their own meat, and they have a display counter showing patrons the meat. While waiting for seating and then the meal, we munched on peanuts and could throw the shells on the floor (just like our own Northwoods Inn). I ordered the 20 oz. bone-in ribeye, which comes with two sides. Out if the several sides offered, I chose the green beans and the sweet potato. My other half chose the catfish with the same sides. My ribeye was cooked to perfection, and was very tender. The green beans were full of bacon, just the way I like them. The most pleasant surprise was the sweet potato. It was baked with butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and lots of marshmallows--just as good as when I bake them at home! Don's catfish was very good as well, according to him. The staff was very courteous, professional, and helpful. When our server, Jessica, found out that we had never been to a Texas Roadhouse before, she spent a lot of time explaining our menus choices to us. The manager, Budd, also came over when he found out we were newbies, and gave us a coupon for a free appetizer at a later date. All in all, a most pleasant dining experience. There's only one complaint I have-- WE NEED ONE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA! (The closest one to us is in Murrieta)
