Texas Rose Steakhouse — Attraction in Canyon

Food was great, I liked the atmosphere but our drinks (alcoholic) took forever. The drinks barely beat the food out but it was fairly busy & I'm sure the bartender was in the weeds which I totally understand. However the dining room was not very busy & our server only had us and 1 other table but she kept disappearing for very long periods at a time. My daughter finished her Dr. Pepper before she got her food and it never got refilled, nor were me or my husband offered another drink either. We got our food & our server asked if everything came out right when it was dropped off and then we didn't see her again the rest of our meal. She walked by once when we finished to drop the check and immediately disappeared again. We sat there 10-15 min waiting for her to come back and take our payment but she didn't. My husband eventually got up and asked a different server to please cash us out so we could leave. I was a server for many years and I get things get busy and no one is perfect but this server just didn't seem to care at all about her tables. I am almost 40 years old and this was only the 2nd time in my life I didn't leave a 20% tip or more. She barely did enough to earn the 15% she got. The experience would have been 100× better had our server been available to us during our meal, or at least communicated to us if something...

If this were in my hometown, I would NEVER cook again. The food was delicious and our server was appropriately attentive without being overly so. My husband had the chicken fried chicken salad and everything tasted fresh. I had the chicken strips and the batter was tasty and not too greasy or hard. There was enough food that my husband actually added some of mine to his salad although it had plenty of chicken. There were fresh rolls served at the beginning and complementary cinnamon rolls for dessert. We were so full from dinner, the cinnamon rolls went back to the hotel with us and became a delightful breakfast. Even the tea was extra yummy. There was one "employee" who came into the dining room and loudly explained that the restaurant closed at 9pm. She did it at 8:55 and then did it again three more times by 9:05. Yes, we came in late and yes we were trying to hurry which did put a damper on our meal. It was very embarrassing and our server told us not to worry but the other employee came back while "on the phone" and said it two more times. However, the food was so good that even that didn't ruin the meal but she is the reason for the 4 rather than the 5...

We ordered takeout tonight, 11/21/20, and some of the food was great and some wasn't. To start with our chicken tender plate didn't have the fries or rice with it but the tenders were great. The seafood sampler, rolls, fried okra, sweet potato, cinnamon rolls, and cheesecake were very good. This is where the 3 stars comes in. Since they call this a steakhouse I did what I do with every steakhouse. I ordered the filet medium. This was definitely not a filet. It was tough and sinewy with a big line of marbling through it. The flavor was good but the steak itself was tough. I had a hard time cutting through the marbling and just ended up feeding it to my dog. If you are going to ask the premium $25.99 price for the filet you need to have the premium steak. The steak kabobs that we ordered was just as bad. We could hardly cut it and was also fed to the dogs. One of the salads had the end of the lettuce stalk in it. I don't know where they are getting their steaks but they need to have a talk with their supplier. If the rest of the meal wasn't good we would have written the restaurant off completely. We will go back but will avoid the...
