Steakhouse The Taste of Texas — Restaurant in Santanyí

Don’t ignore the bad reviews like we did. I actually am so confused how there are any good reviews. I understand everyone has different taste but the food here doesn’t even compare to the standard of a Wetherspoons in the uk, let alone a restaurant charging circa £20+ a main course. Came here for dinner on a whim as the restaurant we wanted to go to didn’t have any space. Staff came over quickly and took the order - that is where the positives end. We ordered some bread to start, which came straight away. Before we had made a dent the main arrived. I didn’t time it but I would say it was around 5/6minutes maximum. This should tell you all you need to know. Chicken fajitas - the chicken was so dry there is no way it could have been cooked freshly. The fajita vegetables were basically just warm not cooked. The chicken burger - again a thick dry piece of chicken, how could it be cooked to quickly, had the texture of reheated chicken. The tasty burger - far from tasty! The burger patty itself was cold. Ribs and chicken wings - dry and inedible, even the chips are bad. We left nearly all of the food, and told the staff it wasn’t enjoyable. They proceeded to explain it was all cooked fresh and nothing was reheated… they have a very quick way of cooking burgers (why was it then cold) I am not sure in the time frame that is possible. Eaten out 8 nights in Cala d’or at a range of different restaurants and not had any complaints until this place....

On the evening we dined, was the restaurants 20th anniversary and very busy as you can imagine. Great atmosphere with complimentary celebratory cava for all. Couldn't have picked a better night. Even the owner Christelle was pitching in order taking, which is nice to see. You could just about eat out here all summer and have a different dish each night. My travel partner and I took a while to decide from the vast menu, the manager Albert was very patient with us and finally we opted for hamburger and nachos. If you like your large portion size, the steaks are huge here especially the T-bone. After seeing a couple of fellow diners eating the sizzling steaks, I wish I had of chosen that instead, looked even more delicious than my burger. The burritos and steaks are the obvious winners at this proper all american steakhouse. Everyone was so friendly here, not just the staff. Had a nice chat with a couple of other holiday makers, an atmosphere really does make a difference to your experience in my opinion. I can't help but adore the effort that has gone into the decor and furnishing of the restaurant, really did feel like I was transported to Texas for a couple hours of...

It’s a shame that the man standing outside trying to get people in, is so rude, blurting out rude comments about people as they walk by.

We visited here a few nights ago and really enjoyed the experience, the food was great and the service by the two waitresses was fab ( I believe it was one of the girls first night working, she was so chatty & fantastic!)

The food was good, we enjoyed it. We planned on returning UNTIL……tonight we walked past the restaurant trying to find somewhere new to try. The man outside said “ have a look at our menu” , i politely replied “ we’ve been here already, but we will be back “ , “no you haven’t been here “ he snapped and rolled his eyes. I turned around and he was shaking his head and making rude comments about us.

It’s such a shame because we really planned on returning but he has obviously put us off ever...
