Editorial Review for Taste of Texas Restaurant – by Citysearch Staff

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.

Insider Tips

On the Menu

A hulking slab of rib eye called the Cowboy will intimidate all but the heartiest appetites.

The Extras

The restaurant offers a guide for history buffs who appreciate the collection of art and artifacts and want to learn more.

Know Before You Go

Desserts are gargantuan and a single slice of pecan pie with cinnamon ice cream, can satisfy three people.

The owner of the Taste of Texas" has a 30.06 sign posted on the front door. This sign prevents law abiding customers who are licensed to carry a handgun concelaed from carrying in the place of business. It does not prevent criminals from carrying handguns in the place of business. Therefore, No matter how good the food is, I will not spend my money at an anti gun rights restaurant. Especially when the owner has a concelaed handgun license himself and carries a handgun. Sullivans, Pappas, Flemmings, and Vic and Anthony's don't have these signs.

Pros: Nice looking place form the outside

Cons: 30.06 sign posted on front door

I love this place. The steaks are AWESOME and the service is great. You can walk up to the butcher counter and choose your own steak. Unfortunately, the average wait to get a table is just a little over an hour if you have 4 in your party. Anything over 4 and the wait increases by about 45 minutes to an hour. I have come to accept this as part of the dinning experice at the Taste of Texas so I don't go there often. So, if you and your guest can live with the waiting time to sit down, I highly recommend it.

Pros: The Steaks are AWESOME!!!!

Cons: Takes for over an hour to get a table on a busy night
