My group of 4 went to Texas Roadhouse for date night. The star of our $165 meal at the steak-house chain was a pork chop.

I visited Texas Roadhouse, a steak-house chain known for its steaks, rolls, and sides.
The steaks, ribs, and pork chops were OK, but this wasn't my favorite chain-restaurant experience.

It's been a while since I visited Texas Roadhouse.

The steak-house chain has over 600 locations across 49 US states and 10 countries. It's known for its steaks, vibrant Western-style atmosphere, and fresh-baked rolls with honey butter.

I've been on a recent chain-restaurant kick, checking out spots like Bahama Breeze and LongHorn Steakhouse. So, on a recent date night with two friends, we tried Texas Roadhouse.
