Taste of Texas Restaurant

Not bad, but not great

by jbsmuss at Citysearch

As many people have said, make sure to be watching for your number or else you will not get seated. The salad bar was nice, and my steak was really good. The atmosphere is very much like Saltgrass, as was the meal. I would say that it is a good place to eat, but for the price I would much prefer other steakhouses in Houston. I dont like the fact that you cant make a reservation for small parties.

Whats the hype

by jane2005 at Citysearch

I'm confused? Someone recommended this restaurant to me, and when I got their excited for a good meal, I was dissapointed. What was supposed to be a nice steakhouse, I felt like I was at steak-n-ale.

Use To Be

by cajunpappy at Citysearch

Taste of Texas use to be onr of the best. They have fallen in the past year or two. Out of 7 trips to dine there 30% was less then satisfaction. Either the steak was not up to par or the service was lacking. This was my families favorite place at one time.

• Pros: Salad Bar, Bread, Sometimes Steaks
• Cons: , To Loud

cant dine over din.

While the food was good, it was almost impossible to hold a conversation in the main dining area. My steak was rare, as I ordered it. Most restaurants can't seem to ubderstand what rare is. So credit for that. Service was decent, however maybe a bit rushed. Salad bars are passe.

• Pros: good food, good wine list
• Cons: , loud, service rushed

Less Than The Best

by trahern at Citysearch

Obvious popular location based on the crowd, but having someone to talk to is the obvious attraction. The steaks are usually undercooked or overcooked. I have visited the restaurant more than three times and each time, the steaks had to be sent back because it was not prepared as requested. The lobster tails are really dry. The side dishes are less than stellar. A REALLY overrated establisment.

All talk

I moved here and heard this was the steak place to eat at.... Not at all. The atmosphere and service was good, but a steak eater goes somewhere for the food, which was average at best.

Real Taste

by jantoniofarfan at Citysearch

yes, Taste of Texas is very nice, the service is ok, and the food is good. But while there are fancier places to eat, the top of my list as far as taste and cut goes is either location of Perry's Steak House in Clear Lake, a suburb city of houston. In fact ive been to steak houses all over the world and Perry's is superior.

Was once a favorite

by LarryR at Citysearch

As is all too often the case, high standards are almost impossible to maintain. The service was once impeccable because every employee was hired based not only on their abilities but their own drive to succeed. My last three dining experiences were so poor it left me no other choice but to find another steak place.

Once the best, now too much like all of the rest.

Not my taste

by llhaney at Citysearch

Taste of Texas is good food but for a steak I would recommend Lynns STeakhouse off of Dairy Ashford.

It is excellent service, food, and the setting is quiet.

Alot of companies around that area take large parties there for dinner and lunch.

Taste of Money

by Duke1949 at Citysearch

Tase of Texas is good, but highly overpriced. As good or better steaks in Houston area for much less money.

• Pros: good food, good service
• Cons: very overpriced
