I really wish I had taken a picture or two, but sadly I did not (sorry).
I had the 16 ounce ribeye (cooked medium well) with French fries and a side salad (with ranch).
The steak was cooked to the correct "doneness".. and we seasoned just right ... it tasted very good!!! The fries ... well... they were just plain old fries... but they were done right as well... cur reasonably thin... fried until crispy, not soggy at all. The salad also... just a plain old salad... simple lettuce and a few small tomato, and two slices of onions, and a few croutons ... (the ranch dressing was good).
(If I had one complaint, it would be the price ($30.99)... I am trying to learn not to complain about the price.. our brave new world and I are having a hard time coming to terms in regards to economics).
My wife had the santa fe chicken, with baked potato and a salad, it looked visually appealing, and she seemed pleased with it ($16.99).
There were a few other menu items that sounded interesting as well... the "Cobb salad" is one that sounded good....
We were returning from Colorado to Oklahoma ... we had started our day (driving) from Alamosa, CO at about 9:30am ... we had driven about 350 miles (without stopping)... and had only eaten a little trail mix through the day... our dinner was at about 5pm (we had not ate a meal since noonish the day before)... so we were VERY hungry ...
We were very pleased with the food... our server did a great job waiting on us... and the inside of the restaurant was very clean, decorated very nicely... was a very pleasant experience.
This town looks like it has fallen on hard times... a lot of businesses are "closed' ... a lot of disrepair in the town... we drove around the town and attempted a few other places before choosing this one... we also have experienced hard times... and our hearts go out to the community.... (was pleased with...
Read moreLet me start by saying we have been coming to the Rose for 15+ years. We've always loved the food and service both. In recent years it has been hit and miss on the food. Likewise with the service as the younger waitresses have become more numerous. If you happen to go in when some of the older lady's are working you'd do well to request their section. You will not be disappointed. However from now on if I go in and do not see one of the older ladies I will be turning around and finding somewhere else to eat. The steaks have been very disappointing and underwhelming the last 2-3 years. Today's Angus Salad was no exception. It came out with 4-5 small "chunks" of what I assumed was roast trimmings. I was pretty upset about it but decided just to eat and go on. The meat was extremely over salted and pretty dang tough. It absolutely was not steak. And there was barely any of it on the plate. You get more meat in a 6 piece McNugget box than I got on that salad. This isn't even touching the wife and kids meals. So we saw our waitress 3 times. When she took the order, brought the order out and finally when she came to bring the ticket. The meals were very poor in taste, quality and quantity. Ive never minded the price at the Rose but today's 100$ ticket just angered me more considering the experience we had. Normally its THE place to go eat in Pampa. Today though being one in several recent visits with similar experiences makes the Texas Rose a hard pass for me now. DO...
Read moreFor the 3rd time ordering food at Texas Rose we were told a wait time. We get there and have to wait another 45 minutes. We get that life happens but some of the staff that work there are having issues. For example, waiting was irritating but then for someone to finally go and look for our food to come back and say that it had been sitting back there was unacceptable. The front hostess didn't even make an attempt to look and finally my wife had to ask for her to check. No attempt was even made to make things right. It was an oops and sorry excuse. When my wife told one of the staff members her concerns the staff had the gall to be angry at her?! Again, poor customer service. I, after my wife called me, got onto your manager who decided that the excuse tonight is we're doing the best we can. I educated her on the fact that customer service is lacking. My thought is, if I were to hurt a patient or put them in danger would that same excuse work for that family? We and many of our friends have had so many issues with Texas Rose it's become a disappointment. The Borger location has actually been a refreshing spot...
