This is a very famous American steakhouse in Houston, Texas. There is only one restaurant and no branches. It has been in business for 46 years since 1977. It has won yelp, tripadvisor, wine spectator, houston hearts... many Highly rated by the rating website, the restaurant's mission is to provide authentic Texas soul meals
The towering big signboard can be seen from a distance. As expected of everything in Texas, the restaurant looks very grand!
The driveway is also big, it’s comfortable to see 🤣
There are two fireplaces in front of the gate, and there are real open flames burning inside. At first, I didn’t pay attention to getting too close. It’s very hot, so be careful
There are cute bears in the corner of the waiting area, and there are cowboy chairs for taking pictures
Because it is close to Christmas, the interior decorations are all around the theme of Christmas, very joyful and warm, and the atmosphere is very good!
There are a lot of seats inside, but there are also a lot of people. It is recommended to make an appointment in advance. Although we have a reservation, we still waited for 15-20 minutes
The menu feels like cowhide material, very fu~
The clerk is very enthusiastic. If you come here for the first time, you can tell him that props such as cowboy hats and cowboy scarves will be provided for taking pictures. It is very commemorative
There are two pages in the menu, mainly beef. If you don’t eat beef, you can also choose chicken, salmon, grilled shrimp, and lobster, or you can eat salad alone.
If you order the main meal series STEAK, PRIME RIB&LOBSTER or TEXAS SPECIALTIES on the second page, there will be a free salad bar
STEAK,PRIME RIB&LOBSTER also includes a SIDE ORDER
Or you can order salad bar ($15/person)
The salad bar can also choose to add chicken, salmon, soup, or SIDE ORDER, each of which has a different price increase, but this part has less meat
It is recommended that 2-3 people can share 1-2 main meals, and others can just order a salad bar, because the meat portion of the main meal is quite large
The waiter will first ask if you want a drink, you can order the drink menu first and then look at it slowly
Lemon juice lemonade ($3)
Sweet and sour, the taste is light, it feels like a real lemon, quite refreshing and delicious
There is biscuit bread on the table, and the sauce next to it is amazing, I can’t say what taste it is
Afterwards, the waiter will come to order food. Dezhou’s English has a strong accent, and the speech is very fast. It’s a bit difficult to listen. Fortunately, he is very nice and enthusiastic. He keeps explaining the ordering method to us, and it went smoothly in the end. finished ordering
Then we entered the part of picking meat. The clerk took us into the meat cabinet area, and introduced the oily distribution of each piece of meat like a butcher shop. You can choose the piece of meat you want, and he will write it on your table after you choose it. No, this piece of meat is yours!
The selected meat is written with the specified degree of doneness and table number (like writing an exam paper haha) and it is about to be taken into the kitchen for frying, looking forward to it~
There are gloves next to the salad when holding the plate, take it by yourself
The salad area is very rich, and the vegetable part is mainly radish and baby spinach (it is different from the spinach that is fried in Taiwan, this kind is more tender, suitable for salads and eaten raw)
There are many other ingredients, such as quinoa, cauliflower, raw onion, tomato, cucumber, egg salad, mushroom, beetroot, palm tree heart... many vegetables that are rare in Taiwan, and the seasoning is also very special
There are nine kinds of salad dressings. The left and right rows are garden dressing, coriander vinaigrette, balsamic vinaigrette, cranberry vinaigrette, blue cheese, thousand island dressing, marinated Tapenade, Caesar Dressing, Creamy Cactus Sauce (so special!)
There are also some ingredients, nuts, dried fruit, bacon pieces, croutons, and a few simple fruits
Two extra large cheese cubes, as many as you want, you can scrape them off and sprinkle them on top of the salad
Next to it is the sauce for the toast, which should be applesauce, cinnamon, and cream (some flavors are a bit unsure XD)
Original soft bread, this is delicious, and it’s still hot when taken out of the incubator, but I took too much, and I was a little full after eating it! Everyone who comes to get bread must be restrained XD
Self-packed salad ~ I believe that those who love salad will be satisfied! The bread next to it is another kind of cheese bread, with slightly toasted or cheese on the outside, and the filling is also full of cheese, super fat! Very full!
We ordered a Grilled Salmon that goes with the salad bar (add $9 for the salad bar)
I didn’t think of taking a picture until I ate half of it. This is half the amount. The whole piece is about the size of a fist. It’s really quite small. I don’t dare to eat too juicy salmon for fear that it will taste greasy. I prefer to accept it. Dried salmon (does anyone understand XD) This salmon tastes dry but the inside is still slightly moist, not sticky, and has a slightly crispy texture on the outside, which is quite delicious
Here comes the steak~
Filet Steak CENTER CUT FILET 10oz medium-rare medium rare ($118)
Look how delicious that cream melts on top of the steak!
The quality of the meat is good, it tastes very tender, there are no hard-to-bite tendons, and the original taste of beef can be eaten, and it is very satisfying to bite down on a thick bite
Then there is the tomahawk rib eye steak TOMAHAWK RIBEYE 38oz medium-rare medium-rare ($118)
finally come! That rib is too long! I can't fit the table
Take a horizontal photo, put it together with Filet, the two are much bigger compared to each other! 38oz is really big
After taking the photo, quickly cut him into pieces and shared the food. It was fried very hard, and the inside was a beautiful pink color, and there was no blood, and it was very clean.
There is only a part of the whole big piece with a very oily piece of fat, which is too oily to eat, and the rest is a perfect fusion of fat and thin
What a beautiful cross section~
It was very soft and tender when I first ate it, and it was softer than filet. It was delicious, but it was not so soft and tender when I ate it in the middle of the next few baking trays. It may be because the photo was taken for too long, which caused the inside to be a bit stuffy. It's a pity that it's ripe
Because it is still quite hot when it comes on the baking tray, you really have to eat it as soon as possible or cut it open to dissipate heat, so that you can eat the most delicious flavor
SIDE ORDER－Baked Potato (Add $7 for the salad bar)
This is also a big recommendation, the potatoes are roasted very hot and dense, with chopped green onions, cheese, and yogurt, just like the taste of baked shallots, you can go to the salad bar and add some bacon pieces to match it more layered
It really melts in the mouth after eating, it is very delicious, I even ate the skin XD The skin is also quite fragrant, it tastes a bit like baked potato chips
It is very big, and it is recommended to share with 2-3 people
SIDE ORDER－Sauteed Fresh Mushrooms (add $9 for the salad bar)
Seasoned grilled mushrooms are also good as a side dish
It was a friend's birthday that day, and the clerk directly served a baked brulee with a fairy stick! The first time I saw it was a fairy stick, super cute
This brulee is delicious 👍🏻The caramel on the outside is crispy and has a burnt aroma, and the inside is very milky, and it tastes rich and layered with the berries on the side, and it is also a large portion. About 4 people can eat one portion Not too little, really domineering
In the end, the clerk will also help to take a group photo. The photo will be developed and put in a card for us to take home. It is very considerate.
After eating, there is a sales department next to it, which sells some salads, desserts and beef cubes. It looks very good! It must be delicious to fry at home
There are also aprons, cups, wine bags...souvenirs
After eating today, I feel that the unit price is not expensive, especially in terms of the quality of his steak, the CP value is very high, but after adding tax and service charge, it is much higher🤣
fun experience
