Calling all foodies! 🐂🐂🐂 "Eating in Lincoln" Series – Part 3: Texas Roadhouse 🥩 After two Chinese restaurants, let’s switch things up and try some classic American steak! When it comes to iconic American comfort food, steak is a true crowd-pleaser. And one of the most famous steakhouse chains across the U.S. is the legendary Texas Roadhouse. The Lincoln branch is a bit far from campus — about a 12-minute drive 🚗 — but that doesn’t stop it from being packed every night! Every time I go with friends, the place is buzzing with energy. Wait times can be up to 2 hours ⌚️, and even with a reservation, you might wait about an hour. But no worries — you can munch on free peanuts 🥜 at the entrance and chat while you wait! Fridays are especially lively — crowds gather outside, laughing and having a great time. It’s all part of the experience! 🌈 Once you’re seated, you’ll notice the classic American bar vibe — lots of wood, country music, and beer 🍻. Unlike quiet fancy restaurants, Texas Roadhouse is loud, fun, and full of life! If it’s your birthday 🎂, the staff will bring you a saddle-shaped stool and the whole restaurant will cheer for you! You might even score a free dessert if you ask nicely 🍮. The steak here is classic Midwest style — generous portions and full of flavor. But the real star? The fresh-baked rolls with cinnamon honey butter! 🧈🍞 These warm, soft, golden rolls melt in your mouth… seriously unforgettable! For appetizers, I usually go with a salad or chili soup (a bit salty, but tasty). Portions are huge — most people need a to-go box 🥡. You can even ask for extra rolls to take home! I usually come here for dinner with friends. The average cost per person is around $15–$20, and you’ll leave stuffed and happy. Don’t forget to tip 15–20%! 💰 That’s a wrap for today!
