I've been going to the Taste of Texas (ToT) since 2004 and always felt they had great steaks. My wife had never been to ToT, therefore we decided to go for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Throughout the years, I always talked a good game about this place, but became concerned when my wife mentioned the negative reviews on this website. Well......... we went on a Friday night and only waited 7 minutes to be seated. Our waiter, Jared, was phenomenal and constantly kept folding our napkins whenever we had to get up from the table. (Yeah, a little fu-fu for my taste, but made our night memorable) My wife was not disappointed with the salad bar and bread. My wife is an occasional steak eater, unlike myself, and felt her 10 oz filet was great. I had the 10 oz filet medium and felt it was cooked perfectly - tasty and tender. I'm in agree with another post that stated appetizers should be skipped. When we were done with our steaks, we barely had room for dessert - it took a great sacrifice to finish our special celebration dessert, which is always on the house if one is celebrating a special occasion. Needless to say, we were not disappointed with ToT and plan to return during the year. Warning to all, ToT is not one those especially fancy steak houses. The setting is EXTREMELY casual and their bathrooms are unique as they have several Houston sports memorabilia on display. All fu-fu diners should stay away because this is not a place that kisses your butt. If you're looking for great steaks in a friendly environment and good service, then this is the place to go!
Pros: Awesome salad bar, bread, and steaks. Great service
Cons: Pricey steaks, but comparable to most steakhouses.
