Ron and I decided to try the new Texas Roadhouse in Oceanside one Friday night, but only if we could get in without a long wait. I called there, and discovered that although they don't actually take reservations, you can call ahead, tell them what time you will arrive, and have little or no wait. That's what we did, and we were seated 5 minutes after checking in.
The help and service is outstanding. The young men and women are friendly and efficient. If you're a first time visitor, your server will explain the menu to you. We told him we were not big eaters, and he made some suggestions. For $25.99 we had a 10 oz. ribeye steak and about 5 large baby back ribs. The meat is choice, but was very flavorful. The entree included two sides. We got steak fries and a caesar salad. I ordered wine, and Ron had a soda. The total was $35, and we left feeling full and satisfied.
Texas Roadhouse house lots of tempting appetizers, like stuffed potato skins, fried dill pickles, chili and fried onion rings. The restaurant attracts all kinds of people, but the night we were there I noticed a large number of under 35's. It's very affordable.
It's not Ruth's Chris or Morton's, but you don't pay those prices either. It's good value, for good food, with nice country music playing in the background, sawdust on the floor, and all the peanuts you can eat. We will go back again.
