peter i don't think you should be driving with your feet
road house everyone loves the taste of their buttery rolls and their honey cinnamon butter
but here are 10 things you should absolutely never order from texas roadhouse ignorance is bliss
cactus blossom that's an onion this is one of the first things that shows up when looking at texas
roadhouse's appetizer menu and it's definitely one of the worst the restaurant describes it as
a texas-sized onion golden fried and served with a cajun horseradish sauce for dipping though this
might sound like something you would want to bite into it's not why because you can never really
trust what a restaurant writes about its own food customers who order this are greeted with a greasy
soggy and disappointing mess multiple reviewers claim that it's just too greasy and sometimes
even served cold doesn't that sound appetizing count to three because it tastes terrible on top
of that not only is this unappetizing to eat it's also super unhealthy for you the cactus blossom
is one of the top contenders for unhealthiness including the dipping sauce the fried appetizer
contains nearly 2 000 calories and without the sauce it's not that much better try 1700
calories for one single item according to the fda that's most of your recommended calories for an
entire day and more than twice the daily sodium recommendation the icing on the cake or rather
the batter on the onion is the fact that this is on the just for starters portion of the menu
we have to wonder if this is just the start what could possibly be next chicken fried steak
a chicken fried steak if you're from the south you know how comforting a good chicken fried steak can
be but if you go to texas roadhouse there's a chance you'll find yourself disappointed
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined the reviews for the texas roadhouse's
chicken fried steak are mixed and this dish seems to be a hit or miss some reviewers say that this
is the best chicken fried steak they've ever had while others weren't so pleased with what they got
for example one texas roadhouse customer took to trip advisor calling it the worst they'd ever had
another diner on yelp described the entree as barely edible calling it nothing but a chewy mess
adding that the grease was old and the gravy tasted horrible and if that doesn't ruin your
appetite another went as far as to say it tasted rancid and confessed that they sent it back for
another item the general consensus seems to be that sometimes the food there just doesn't live up
to expectations one user described it as spinning a wheel on whether or not the food would be good
so if you're willing to take a bet on the chicken fried steak go right ahead ribs
baby back baby back baby back baby back baby back baby when's thinking of texan cuisine one of the
first things that come to mind is barbecue ribs everyone knows how satisfying it can be to bite
into some delicious barbecue ribs but it looks like the customers at texas roadhouse aren't
getting that satisfaction the food sucks seriously though this is such a huge part of texas cuisine
you'd think that texas roadhouse would try to do a better job with these unfortunately that's
simply not the case while the restaurant claims that its ribs are award-winning and slow cooked
with a unique blend of seasonings and their signature barbecue sauce many of its customers
seem to disagree one reviewer said that the sauce was simply average while the ribs were very fatty
another diner from oklahoma describes them as burnt overcooked and overall inedible yikes lastly
one customer boldly warns people to stay away from texas roadhouse calling the restaurant terrible
not only are they unappetizing but the ribs are also extremely unhealthy this is one of the least
healthy options at texas roadhouse with over 1400 calories and more than 40 grams of saturated fats
they're also very high in sodium and thanks to the barbecue sauce the ribs also contain
10 grams of sugar the protein content with this meal is also outrageously high meaning your body
cannot metabolize this much protein at one time so yeah these ribs are definitely a miss peanuts
one of the best parts about going to restaurants is when they give you free
appetizers unfortunately for texas roadhouse their free appetizer is peanuts sure peanuts
are great but it's nothing compared to some bread rolls part of the chain's long-standing casual
vibe is the barrels and buckets of peanuts sitting around the restaurants free for anyone to dig into
after everything that has happened this past year not too many people would still be down to
grabbing some of those peanuts a texas roadhouse employee on reddit warned that peanuts are a hub
for germs pointing out how many people stick their hands into the peanut containers every day without
washing their hands wash your hands kevin another server commented that the peanuts left on tables
often just get put right back in the barrels so you never know what you're going to find one
customer in chicago wrote on tripadvisor that they were munching on some peanuts while waiting to be
seated and found a half-eaten lollipop stick with a peanut shell stuck to it yeah we'll be skipping
that part of the meal thanks i'll pass thanks bread pudding this bread pudding is extra runny
tonight once known as poor man's pudding bread pudding dates back to the 11th century the reason
that this deliciously sweet dessert came into bean was that frugal cooks didn't want their stale
bread to go to waste so they took their stale bread added some milk some eggs and boom bread
pudding became a thing while it's not as popular as it used to be it's definitely still prevalent
in various parts of the world including the southern united states the most popular recipe for
bread pudding includes old bread soaked in custard and topped with a sweet sauce of some sort however
it looks like texas roadhouse didn't get the memo their bread pudding is made from the restaurant's
famous rolls and drizzled with honey caramel sauce the restaurant's recipe doesn't exactly capture
the spirit of traditional bread pudding but hey you can't win them all keep in mind that we're
not saying that this necessarily tastes bad pretty decent actually it's only extra super sweet and
not so authentic oh and it's also super unhealthy this small plate of sweet sticky yumminess comes
at the cost of 1740 calories you're also looking at more than 300 grams of carbohydrates and a
startling 240 grams of sugar just to put that in perspective the american heart association
recommends men have no more than 36 grams of sugar per day and women have no more than 25 grams
20 ounce bone-in rib eye steak sure steak texas roadhouse is undoubtedly known for its steaks not
only is it known for its steaks but it brags about them hey you know we happen to make the state's
best pepper steak no thank you ma'am specifically it brags that it hand cuts every single steak
that gets served to customers and that they end up chopping an average of one million dollars
worth of meat each year at each location that's a lot of meat son that being said just because
they're cutting up that much meat that doesn't mean that what they're serving is always good
when it comes to the 20-ounce bone-in rib-eye that definitely gets proven true and it's something you
might want to avoid as far as steaks go this is one of the unhealthiest ones on the menu it comes
in at 1480 calories with more than 100 grams of fat even if you're not concerned about counting
calories you'll still be in for a disappointment texas roadhouse claims that its rib eye is juicy
flavorful and served on the bone for extra flavor but not everyone agrees one diner from louisiana
said in a trip advisor review that the ribeye tasted like it must have come from a very old cow
saying it was tough and not even that tasty this steak contains double the maximum amount
of saturated fat you should consume daily save your heart from the stress it will
endure trying to digest this beast and order something that you'll actually enjoy beef tips
beef salad beef on the cob beef fried beef the good news is that if you don't
feel like eating an entire steak at texas roadhouse there are plenty of options for you
the bad news is that some of those options are not that great for example texas roadhouse's beef tips
it's listed as one of the restaurant's country dinner plates and this dish is described as
cuts of steak with sauteed mushrooms onions brown gravy and sour cream but not only is this dish
super unhealthy but it's also just not worth it a diner in kansas who ordered the entree called his
meal completely disappointing in a review on trip advisor adding that everything was over salted
salt another reviewer on restaurant guru said the beef tips are horrible and said the last
time they ordered them they only got three chunks of meat registered dietitians warn customers to
stay away from this country dinner calling it the most unhealthy combo on the menu due to
outrageous amounts of sodium and saturated fat and if you think that you can get away with it
by choosing rice over the mashed potatoes think again dietitians say that the mashed potato option
is higher in saturated fat but the seasoned rice is extremely high in sodium neither option is good
for you because both of them are almost double the amount of recommended sodium for the day
do yourself a favor and skip this dish fish and chips oh hey you got our fish and chips
considering that texas roadhouse is known for its steak is it really that surprising that its
seafood wouldn't be that good this restaurant specializes in all things beef which should
be a clear indicator to stay away from anything involving fish fish and chips aren't even the only
seafood dish that texas roadhouse serves the chain also offers shrimp catfish and salmon in any case
when you do order it don't expect it to be great don't get your hopes up lenny called the roadhouse
fish fry this dish is only offered at select texas roadhouse locations and consists of beer-battered
whitefish served with steak fries however if you're expecting a plate of fresh crispy fish you
may be in for a disappointment one diner in boston did not mince words in this trip advisor review
saying the fish and chips come swimming in a tide pool of grease so deep you could drop a line in
it oh yes a pool of grease that's what everyone wants to see on their plate he also added that
the fish tasted like it was clearly frozen at some point which honestly isn't that big of a
surprise considering what a big chain texas roadhouse is the lesson here is if you want
to get seafood go to a place that specializes in seafood not a steakhouse porterhouse t-bone steak
while this steak is described as a 23-ounce texas-sized usda choice steak you might do well
to stay away from it a california diner said in a yelp review that when they tried to order the
porterhouse at texas roadhouse the waiter kept pushing for them to order a rib eye instead it's
one thing if the customers don't like a certain food but if the employees are warning against it
there's got to be a good reason texas roadhouse claims that its butchers cut every single steak
that served at their restaurants but according to statements made by some employees that might
not be the truth some texas roadhouse servers admitted on reddit that the chain's porterhouse
t-bone steak is oftentimes not hand-cut in-house but is rather shipped to the restaurants frozen
one employee said that their managers always told them not to suggest the porterhouse t-bone steak
this is because the steak is considered one of the worst ones by the people who work there this
is echoed by reviews on yelp and other websites customers complain that this steak is mediocre
and some of the meat is way too tough if you're going to texas roadhouse anytime soon be
sure to listen to what the employees recommend they know what's good burgers
what's your problem they're making you into a mount rushmore they made burgers
texas roadhouse is known for its beef and for good reason as we saw with the fish and chips
when the chain tries to leave its comfort zone things start to get questionable we can see this
happening yet again with texas roadhouse's burgers which unfortunately leave much to be desired there
are a few burger options that this chain offers including a bacon cheeseburger and a smokehouse
burger that's topped with mushrooms onions and barbecue sauce sadly despite how yummy that
sounds all those toppings aren't enough to mask the disappointing taste of the burgers themselves
one reviewer described the burger as two very well done hockey pucks seasoned with too much
salt ending their statement by saying they will never have a hamburger at the restaurant again
many other customers had similar complaints calling the burgers bland unflavored and
overcooked he burnt my krabby patty he burnt my fries he burnt my shake and it doesn't end there
sadly a lot of these burgers are bad for you too take for example the smokehouse burger it has 1200
calories and 33 grams of saturated fat to put that into perspective it has nearly five times
more calories and 11 times more saturated fat than a regular hamburger from other fast food joints it
also exceeds your daily recommended sodium limit and that's not even counting the fries on the side
the bottom line is if you want a burger that's going to taste good without giving you way too
much sodium you'd be better off going somewhere else so salty first time here then leave us a
