In Short – The popular steakhouse features rough cedar and brick walls, plus a collection of museum-quality artifacts and collectibles from Texas history. Steak fanatics can visit the butcher shop and have a slab of rib eye cut to their liking. For the less adventurous, the menu is filled with specific cuts and weights--a huge porterhouse, a sturdy T-bone and some select filets that can be paired with shrimp. Salad and a side order are included.

STAY AWAY...SAVE YOUR MONEY
by TheBestCritic at Citysearch
The place is a tourist trap, plain and simply put. The steaks don't come near Pappas Brothers, Flemings, Capital Grill and etc. The salad bar is the only redeeming value. It's amazing the place does so well, except for the fact it plays off the TEXAS motif. Don't waste your time or money, you can get the same quality at Salt Grass for half the price. YES, I said Salt Grass, that Fertittatized chain that has a much personality as Jack in the Box.
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: PRICE, WAIT, QUALITY

adequate food; much is wrong
by cmk1126 at Citysearch
This place is too expensive in light of the quality of food. This place is oddly popular, making the no-reservations policy tremendously oppressive. And it's very "suburban" in the worst ways.
- Pros: food is OK
- Cons: several

Great Restaurant
by oldflyfisherman at Citysearch
This is the best restaurant that we have been to in Texas and the California Bay area. Yes, it will be a little more expensive, but it is of the highest Quality. It is hard to cook an almost 2 inch ribeye perfectly and they did two for us. The crew was great and quick to serve. I judge a restaurant's cleanliness by how clean their restrooms are. TTR was one of the best in the cleanliness, which was also confirmed by the cleanliness of the kitchen when we selected our steaks.
Unfortunately, it is obvious that some people in these reviews are being negative about this restaurant because they do not agree with the politics of the owner, who has a morning talk show in Houston. Don't listen to those reviews. If you a want a great, family oriented, steakhouse experience, go to Taste of Texas and find out for yourself.
- Pros: High quality food, fantastic service and very clean
- Cons: none
