Very clean restaurant, a fun place to go, especially for special events. They have flat screens and you can request to have what you want to be shown on the TV. However, if somebody else is before you that person gets the first choice, Our waitress Nancy was so amazing. She reminds me of my friend Laura, and then I met the manager Jennifer very nice. two nice individuals. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the black and blue salad, which was delectable, the bread that is served hot with brown sugar and butter wasdelectable. You will not be disappointed in this restaurant or this experience. It's a large restaurant so you'll be easily seated, even if there's a large crowd, go enjoy the sweet tea and the lemonade mixed together or separately ,,,,,you again as I said, will not be disappointed. You will leave with your stomach full and a smile on your face because the food was that good read more

Steak tips- I asked waitress if she needed temperature, and she said it is always medium well because the pieces are so small. WOEFULLY overdone, and not a touch of seasoning on it...?. They should be cooked quickly. They were tough and dry. Potato was good, service was great, salad was a little limp. "Au jus" was flavorless. Please have someone cook steak that knows how to do it. read more

This was a quick little dinner after some time out shopping . Me and my friend were driving around deciding what was going to do the trick lol. We picked this place and I'm glad we did. Service was super fast and friendly. She wanted allll the rolls and a blooming onion . I chose the petite filet and baked potato. We had one drink apiece , for me, the Moscow mule and for her a Corona with lime . Our server was fabulous and very attentive to us. We also just sat and talked for a while after dinner and we weren't rushed out 10/10 would go again! Thanks guys ! read more

They have the best food!!! We personally love their Cowboy Pork Chops!! We highly recommend!!

Finding a place to go to on a Saturday with a toddler can be rough at times. My toddler is so picky. Some restaurants can be so loud and which tends to aggravate a whinny child even more . This place was a big hit for us. It wasn't too pack so we were able to sit in a smaller section of tables by ourselves which was great. My daughter was able to make as much noise as she wanted with out disturbing others. They also gave her some crayons and paper to keep her entertained. The bread and honey butter that they give out was great too. My daughter loved it as well along with the waffle fries. They had Long Island very cheap but we didn't want any liquor. The food was delicious and everything came out within the right amount of time. We will definitely come again read more

Our service was great. My meal was done more than I wanted but did not have a bad taste. My husband's meal was not bad but again a little over done. The ambiance was a nice quiet relaxing atmosphere. We usually do not go to steak houses that much but wanted something different so we would go back sometime in the future. read more

We went to Texas Corral for my daughter's birthday. Her and I both got the smaller Cowboy steak. It was very good and the sweet potatoes were delicious. Our waitress Joyce was very welcoming and did a great job. We will be going back soon to try other items on the menu. read more

One star only because the water was delicious. My steak was ordered medium and I got a very thin well done shaved piece of meat. My sisters steak was still mooing. The bacon bits tasted like burned grease chips from the grill. The shrimp flavor was terrible. The excuse was..... " there's a new chef". Do yourself a favor. Go to McDonald's. read more

We took my parents to lunch yesterday, 11/22/24 at about 1 pm. We were a party of 4. This IGNORANT worker looked over at my parents walkers and said "do those fold?"... not hello or how many or welcome. My sister said yes then this employee said as she motioned with her head "you guys can sit on that side, way in the back at the last table". As we were walking, because I don't frequent this place, I asked my sister if this was a seat yourself kinda place? From the front of the restaurant I hear that women's voice say "well you guys have walkers so..." and I cut her off there and said walkers should have nothing to do with it nor was I talking to you". How dare she? She was clearly treating us differently, discriminating against the elderly and handicapped. I literally watched her seat every other person that came in, grabbed menus and walked them to their tables. I was very upset to be a part of this! I asked our waitress if I could speak with a Manager. The Manager came out and I explained the situation and that my parents federally protected rights were violated. The Manager, who mentioned she's been there for 30 years, said she would "remind" the employee to be nicer. What? She was nice but timid and I truly doubt that employee will get what she deserves, which is an unemployment booklet. This was a disgrace, to my father who fought for HER rights as well as my mom who is a retired nurse who may have took care of her or her family over the last 50 years! We didn't even get offered a complimentary glass of water! I did email also asking for a response. I'm not done with this situation and depending on how they handle it, I will decide how we will handle it to feel as though justice was served. I wanted to just leave but my family decided they wanted to stay. They can look at their cameras, that is the first time I have EVER gone out to eat and took my entire order home in a box. I am disgusted and the public needs to know the type of discrimination happened. If you or someone you love is older or handicapped, you may want to reconsider going here! read more

That's a well earned single star. The ambience was great. Not loud at all at about 2pm on a Friday. The warm rolls and cinnamon butter were excellent. Even though it looked like only two employees were on duty the service was very good. The problem, depriving Texas Corral of the other four stars, was their food. My Smothered Steak sandwich and Steak Fries for example. The meat was a healthy half inch thick I'd guess. Good for a sandwich (that is not a Philly cheese steak). But the flavor. Oh, that flavor that stayed with me, unfortunately for the rest of the day. It wasn't pleasant. Not horrible, it was edible with effort. Just a flavor I hope I never experience again. It stayed with me long enough as the steak itself had several of those stringy white line things that you can't chew or bite apart. You know, the ones you finally have to pull out of your mouth with your fingers. The Steak Fries carried the meat flavor over to them. They were eaten, very unenthusiastically. The other diners Chicken Sandwich was, unfortunately for her and my credit card, not edible. The tween couldn't eat his Waffle Fries. The stomachs of us two elders showed us their displeasure the rest of the day. We won't be back to any of this chains' restaurants. read more

Texas Corral - Drinks are fabulous!!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

I have to say that tonight was the best choice for dining out. The place was not packed as it usually is. We were seated quickly and our waitress was awesome. The food was tasty as always and the speed of service was much better from my last visit. Domestic beers today were $1- Awesome . I had a Sirloin steak with Louisiana shrimp and veggies. I skipped on the potato. The steak was cooked to perfection just the way I like it. The salad was just as good. Their bread is to die for! It is so hot and soft, served with cinnamon butter--Yum! I have to be honest and say that the bread and this special butter is what keeps me coming back. Trust when I say, you're going to love it just as much. Lol Every table is already set with peanuts for your hungry little taste buds. Feel free to place the shells inside the empty bucket or toss them on the floor. Your choice. I prefer to put mine in the bucket! This place is great. I highly recommend, no dissapointment yet! read more

Texas Corral - Great biscuits!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

Went here and was presently surprised. Someone told me that the food was not good but myself and my friends decided we would try it out anyway. I was greeted when I came into the door and the waitress was very attentive. I had country fried chicken with white gravy and it was crisp and juicy. My friend had a steak and potatos and it was juicy, another friend had chicken tenders and they were crispy and juicy as well. Overall a good experience and really good food! read more

my family and I are visiting from out of town and gave this place a try. this completely blew Texas road house out of the water! our food was so fresh & delicious. and the customer service is fantastic, it's definitely work coming again read more

Great food, painfully slow service. At least a dozen birthdays were celebrated here on a Friday night between 8 and 10pm; every booth and table was filled with hungry families. Our waitress wasn't very good, and despite apologizing for the long delay still didn't do much to appease us. The kitchen was moving at a snail's pace, and by the time we paid the check and left, we had been there a grand total of 2 hours. Two freaking hours! I'm fairly certain the cooks had to chase down the cows locally, kill them, and prepare them for us. What else explains the foodless 50-minute wait the three of us had to endure? The old man and I are big fans of the peanut-shell-on-the-ground steakhouses, and we found our cuts of beef to be delicious. I got mine with a sweet potato and loaded chili, both very good. The blooming onion appetizer was great, and those Texas-sized 36oz draft beers definitely hit the spot. AWESOME warm bread, too--with cinnamon butter! Very reasonable prices, I thought, I'd just do well to steer clear of another Friday night dinner rush. The bread makes the difference between 3* and 4*. read more

Texas Corral offers a 15% discount if you scan the irq code, which I did. It only works if you have an iPhone. After requesting a manager she said oh well you need an iPhone and it walks you through so if you have an android forget about a 15% discount. The manager could have offered the 15% and did not offer anything ! Her name is Jen and she needs to get some manager manners. read more

I really liked the place, out server was very nice and very attentive. The food was amazing it was all we needed on a cold night after a long move across country. The drinks were also very good. I recommend this place. read more

Easy place to go for lunch. The staff is very friendly! I really enjoy most everything I have had. One thing to note, if you want croutons on your dinner salad you have to ask for them. They do have peanuts here so those with allergies think twice! I'm allergic to shellfish but never have had a problem here. read more

Texas Corral - Sufficiently rare - Steakhouses Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

Quickly sat, friendly staff, good food and good prices. What more can you want? Love the cinnamon butter!

Stopped in for a quick meal, beverages are served in a large, and I do mean large mason jar alongside a bucket of peanuts. For my meal I went with a 12oz New York Strip, which was reasonably priced however the steak itself wasn't cooked as requested and was fairly tough, it had a decent taste however. The meal itself was served with some delicious rolls and mouthwatering butter, I think I fell in love with their cinnamon butter as it was absolute perfection. I think I ate 4 rolls just myself, lol. Atmosphere here is casual, overall the meal was good and provided a decent value, the staff was friendly and more than accommodating. read more

This place is awful. I have never seen three women move so much and get absolutely nothing accomplished, a sight to behold. The organization was all over the place and it's dark and sad inside. This feeling of dread just came over me. read more

Texas Corral??? I'm a Texan and I believe old Texans would have made them change their name to avoid embarrassment. This is nothing more than a franchise idea copied from Texas Roadhouse, Logans or any other peant shell on the floor restaurants. I have to say that the food was real and it tasted good, but it was very plain. My steak was grey and did not have the rich and brown color of a properly seared preparation. If I remember correctly from another visit, their chicken fried steak is real and not a processed meat patty so common today. The waiter and host staff were friendly amd welcoming which made the experience better. They even made sure I had a large "to go" cup for the road which was nice! Still, just not overly impressed and will likely not visit often. read more

Went today for dinner with my children my pizza i order for my children came so burnt it was as hard as a rock asked for a new pizza didn't get it till everyone else was done with their meal imagine a two year old on steroids screaming for food the whole time you're eating and all you get was the pizza off I'm sorry i couldn't even share the steaks with my son because the were medium and he has cancer so that can make him sick my son ate appetizers and got the pizza to go and when i finally got our late pizza they forgot the fries i told the manager how it was a terrible time and we couldn't enjoy our food because my son didn't get his in time and all he did was take the pizza off never again will be calling again tomorrow and corporate read more

Love going here, especially on the days Denise is working. She greets us with a smile, laughs and chats with us and makes sure everything is top notch. The food is good, hardly any errors and the prices are not astronomical. Please, keep Denise as your Hostess. She makes the meal extra palatable. Big Hugs to Denise! read more

Can some one say Heck Yea! Well I will, Heck Yea! This is a great place to have a beer and dinner. I went on a Monday because of the .75 cent draft beer special and found a better deal $2 bucks for a 36oz beer Texas Size. While eating FREE peanuts and throwing the shells on the floor I was getting hungry. I asked What food specials do you have and was told All You Can Eat Ribs for $13.95. It came with soup and steak fries, but you would not expect the ribs to be good but WOW they were great!! I was at the bar the the two employee's there were super friendly and made me feel like a regular!! Thank You Texas Corral :) read more

I have eaten at various TC's and this one stands out more than others. The service was great, and the food was amazing! When I'm not traveling I typically forego eating out and grill my own steaks. I have been told that I am a very good cook, however I may have met my match... I ordered the bone in ribeye and a vegetable kabob, and Mashed potatoes and gravy and Mac n Cheese. The steak was very juicy and cooked just a touch above med rare as requested. This steak was amazing, the only gristle was a very small piece on the outer fat surrounding the steak. The grilled vegetable kabobs were firm and cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were as expected warm and delectable and, of course, smothered in gravy. There was also plenty of hot buns and cinnamon butter to get started. I chose to pair this great assortment of food with a very large mason jar full of water with almost an entire lemon. Thank you Feleciia for a wonderful overall experience, and thank you management for hiring really great staff. Well done on so many levels. This TC should be the model restaurant that all are judged by for quality food, service, and a great atmosphere! Thank you!!! I will definitely be coming back read more

when we arrived i asked our waitress lily who said her real name is iliana. what the drink specials were. she said draft beer and $3 texas size drinks!! to gain clarity i asked her if she meant draft beer and she clearly stated. no....any drink as long as its tx size. so we each ordered a tx size daiquiri.....all was fine until i noticed we'd been chargered $20 for our drinks($10each). lily apologized and said she'd go correct our bill to reflect $6 instead of $20 because the charge was incorrect.... when lily came back she was visibly shaken and said her manager "megan pilatos" had sworn at her and refused to correct the charge even though lily explained to her that it was her fault. she told ud wrong. i asked lily to speak to her manager. well megan the manager came over and said she heard megan say on video it was draft beer only... i told megan that megan was lying and if she did let me see the video. megan then said she would not adjust our bill and if we didn't pay the $20 instead of $6 she was going to call the police and tell them" we were going to leave without paying " which was another lie.....we never refused to.pay our bill....we refused to pay $20 for two cocktails that our waitress had admittef telling us should have been $6.....megan then told us that she was making lily our waitress pay the $20 because it was lilys screw up!!! megan took our original check $51 and split it into two checks and was making ly our waitress pay $20 and i paid the $30 i told megan that was extremely ridiculous and unfair to lily...megan then said lily had to pay besides she(megan) was sick of people like us(m african americans)coming to her restaurant and trying to get something for free!!!! because even though we were told the drinks were $3 we should have k own better!!!!!! i am still shaking im so upset from her horrible horrible disrespectful not to mention embarrassing treatment of us!!! read more

What a disappointment. First we sat down to a dirty table and asked if it could be cleaned. We sat there for about 8-10 minutes with no service. I wanted to leave but the birthday girls wanted to stay. I finally got up to find a server and as I was walking to the hostess she said "have a nice night" to which I replied "I would but we haven't had any service yet". When a waitress finally did show up at the table, she gave us the rag to wipe the table. She gave no apology for the tardiness in service, and made some excuse about someone else not cleaning the table correctly. We were celebrating a birthday for 2 of our daughters and asked if they did anything special for birthdays. While most places offer a free desert and sing a fun song, Texas Corral can sell you a piece of cake for $4.99 and then sing to you. We opted out of that. When the food finally came it was delivered by a young man with a cigarette in his ear! Really!? Some items were missing that were delivered shortly after. The food itself was sub par. The waitress came to ask if we needed anything else, and let us know she was going to take a bathroom break. TMI. That was a first at a restaurant. When the bill arrived we saw that we were charged an extra $.99 for loaded mashed potatoes added on to the kids meal. She ordered mashed potatoes as her side option but somehow that became loaded mashed potatoes with no mention of an up-charge. It's the principle of it, not the charge, which they did reverse. I should have followed my gut and left when we hand the chance. Luckily we will never have that problem again since we won't be back. Ever! read more

At least they comped my mom's meal. She ordered a ribeye. The first one was over cooked, our waitress was out on a smoke break so never checked on us after the food was brought to the table. The second one was very much undercooked. Same chef for all the other steaks that were being brought out that night, two cuts of meat wasted and a disappointed guest. read more

I love this place! We don't even call it Texas Corral, we call it Throw Peanuts on the Floor! It's so much fun and the food is good. The wait staff is always nice but for some reason every time we go they bring my husband a cup of chili when he asks for a bowl. Really, every time! Either way, we still go back because we enjoy it so much. read more

I love Texas corrall always feel welcome steaks are good. And they have drink specials. I cant say any complaints here!

I know, I'm usually a pretty picky diner who stays away from franchises unless I'm being dragged there and here I am loving the heck of this franchise in Indiana. I ate breakfast and snacked so I didn't enjoy it just because I was hungry. I enjoyed the service, my soup, my bread, and my entree. I really have nothing to complain about. Both my friend and I ate almost everything. I was afraid the food would be gross or would make my stomach upset and instead all one heard "hmm, this is good!!". If I was in the middle of this area again I wouldn't mind coming here again. read more

This location is good. The waitresses are always very friendly and attentive. The usual food from this type of restaurant. I don't think we've ever had any complaints about the food. The warm rolls with the honey butter are too tempting. I don't get the whole peanut shells on the floor thing but people seem to like it. read more

Good overall experience there. Couple hicups here and there and haven't experienced order issues however I've seen a lot of orders messed up there. Mostly steaks being overcooked or undercooked. I personally haven't experienced this yet. The steak I ordered was good along with the burgers and steak sandwich. Prices aren't that bad compared to some other places. Go during non peak times or you'll be waiting for a table. Food was always on fairly fast for the most part. Atmosphere is good and I like how it looks in there. Will continue to go back unless crazy mess ups start happening to us. read more
