    On the weekend they are open for brunch. They have lots of breakfast and lunch options in the buffet. The cost is $12.49 (beverage extra) they do have complementary juice near the dessert buffet. The bacon here is salty and the bacon at the location on Randall Road serves a sweet maple bacon. So we prefer this location but they are both good! It is always crowded here so the food is really fresh and consistently being refreshed often. Even thought it is always busy here, we have always gotten a table. The restaurant is clean and family friendly! We love coming here and look forward to it.

    Spinach salad  was yummy

    I love this buffet restaurant the food is fresh and delicious. It's very clean and the servers are always so nice. Fadia, our server, was courteous and very sweet. Whatever we needed, she accommodated.

    Fish, Tartar Sauce, Tacos were excellent. Chicken was decent. Burgeris a pass.

    Decent food at decent prices with friendly staff. The pandemic has hit many restaurants hard, and Golden Corral has a clientel that likes affordable food so not raising prices seems to have been the way to go. Sadly it meant cutting back on the amount of choices and quality of choices. And having less staff, which is also understandable. The staff were friendly and if you've never been, you'll enjoy the food I think. If you have prepandemic, it is less choices and some of the more pricey choices are probably missing. Again understandable as a way to survive in a world of higher costs. If you like fish and tartar sauce, go for that, it was quite good and the same quality as pre pandemic. The pork chop was great when it was fresh off the grill. Make your own tacos and go to the salad bar and add some more toppings. It was good too. Everything else was, it's there but I wouldn't get it again.

    The food is very good, there are many to choose from, grilled chicken, fried chicken, hamburgers, spaghetti, and many others, salads, desserts, ice cream, cakes, fruit, everything is perfect, worth the price. But if you want a special price, you have to go between 1-3 pm early bird but only senior. 60+

    Not busy resturant but still could not get any service.

I chose the fries as a side and it came with a small cup of creamy coleslaw. The slider burgers were thick and had that great grilled flavor. Recommend this entree. We ordered the chicken fingers entree, also. I don't know how many fingers were in the order, but we had about 5 or 6 fingers leftover to bring home. The prices are very fair. The music is loud. This restaurant is now on our favorite restaurants rotation list.

    Well, it's been 6 years since my last review of this restaurant, but I still really like it. Sure,…read morethe price is higher ($34 vs. $24), for a boneless ribeye, but you still get unlimited rolls and two sides with your meal. The service is variable, because it's still somewhat transient, but they still do try really hard. And the ambiance is the same, with country music blaring too loud, and several TVs with no sound on. I still think it's a semi-affordable meal compared with other places. Today, I got a free cactus appetizer since I bought a $40 gift card. I ate the whole thing, so my cardiologist will be very happy with me after that. I also got refills on the rolls four times, but my son ate most of them I think. Overall, still a good experience 6 years later.

    Texas Roadhouse is definitely a nostalgic place for me. It's been years since I've visited and was…read morehappy to retry some of my favorites. Once inside, one is still greeted and asked if you'd like to pick a meat cut from the case before going back to your table. Instead of getting a bucket of peanuts, one gets a prepackaged bag one can enjoy there or at home. This definitely helps keep the inside cleaner! We started with their ever famous rolls and were happy they give out two butters per basket now! For mains, I got the side Caesar Salad. My husband got the Full Slab of Ribs which came with two sides: Mashed Potatoes for him and Loaded Baked Potato for me. This was a really nice way for us to spread the value of our meal. They have one of my favorite caesar salads with deliciously creamy dressing and great croutons. We both really enjoyed our food. To pay, one can use cash with your server otherwise you can use the at table tablet to pay with card. I've seen a lot of other large chain restaurants use these but this was my first time seeing it here. It was easy to use and be on our way. Overall, we enjoyed a visit back to Texas Roadhouse. It still brings back that sense of nostalgia and the menu hasn't changed much to enjoy some classics. We also were there to enjoy employees doing a line dance (happens every 30 minutes). Fun! Tip: Starting 12/13, they will be open for lunch all weekdays (currently just Friday's).

We chose to sit on the patio since the weather was nice and I don't care for how dark it is inside the restaurant. Our server was great: friendly and attentive. I got the BLT which was fine. I didn't care much for the mayonnaise they use, but the bacon was cooked as I requested (crispy) and there was a lot of it! I liked the fries that came with it. My husband really enjoyed the clam chowder that came with his meal as well as the fish and fries. The hush puppies were small and dry but those tend to be almost everywhere. His first round of fish was so filling he didn't even want or need a refill. The star of the show for me was the cheese quesadilla appetizer. Not only was it huge, but the pico de gallo inside made it very flavorful. It came with a very generous helping of sour cream and guacamole as well. I liked it so much I might have that as my meal next time so I don't have to share but I want to try some other menu items too so we shall see. Either way, we will be back soon.

This is where things went wrong! We both ordered the Smoke Shack burger with American cheese,bacon and chopped cherry peppers. My wife's burger looked great on a GF bun but it was missing the bacon and peppers. My burger was very small in size- slightly bigger than a slider and was soggy due to the peppers being not drained. My wife talked to the manager and he was very nice and brought us 2 new burgers. My wife's was good but they put the ShackSauce on it even tho she asked for no sauce! My burger was still super soggy. They need to drain the cherry peppers and grill them as they make the burger cold. They did give us a 5.00 off coupon to come back but with so many burger places in the area,I'm not sure I will.
