The best chicken fried steak/chicken fried chicken is at a Texas-based chain called Cotton Patch, but I digress...
The Texas Roadhouse here in Podunk, TX, is hit or miss. I still go because when it's a hit, it's amazing. Getting it free in exchange for an easy report is even better. I'm not a steak eater, so I can't comment on those. Grilled shrimp on a bed of seasoned rice, green beans, mashed potatoes, and that bread....sweet baby j, the bread...
The only time I've had food poisoning was from eating at (different location) Roadhouse, so there is that.
Fyi - the report for Roadhouse is way shorter (and easier) than the one for Outback.
If your path dictates you walk through hell, do it as though you own the place. -unknown
