Texadelphia — Restaurant in Sunset Valley

My experience became like a horror movie.

I just went to Texadelphia here on Brodie Lane, excited to eat here since I hadn't eaten this restaurant since I was a kid, when I went with my father. I ate the Original Classic, I enjoyed the food decently well: and then a giant rat ran across the floor.

I repeat, I witnessed not even ten minutes ago, around 6 PM on March 15th, a gigantic rat run across the floor here and between some guy's legs.

Rats are horrible, disease-carrying, verminous creatures.

All the guy at the front desk could say was, "oh yeah, we've been dealing with them for a while now."

No. Nonononono. No way.

This was God telling me not to eat out as often, to stay home. I feel disgusted eating food, knowing full well that a rat could have ran across it in their kitchen.

Just because the sandwich tasted decent doesn't make up for the fact that your establishment has GIGANTIC MUTATED RATS running across your floor, guys. Heck, I even loved all the UT longhorn merch on the walls!

But y'all gotta clean up your act. That was horrifying, what I just dealt with. No restaurant should actively be serving people food that has had rat issues "for a while." I didn't come to get a Philly cheesesteak at PetCo.

Do better, Texadelphia....

Texadelphia gets five stars for simply still being Texadelphia. I visited this location for the first time since I was a neighborhood resident, must've been almost 10 years now. Immediate comfort zone, walking in. I was seriously disappointed that my all-time fave, the Italian, has been scrapped from the menu, but I was still committed. The counterperson was so friendly, and even though she has only been at TXDLPH about 6 months, she was very knowledgeable. She informed me that this is the sole remaining Austin location! Shocking to me, as I loved eating in the TX Union basement, on the Drag, and many others. Texadelphia is a venerated Austin original, and deserves to be rallied around. The sauces seal the deal, and the tortilla chips have seriously improved from the mealiness I remember. [But Guys – Let's talk. If I wasn't already loyal, that turkey on the sandwich ya'll served me today was a virtual PERSONAL INSULT. Beyond cheap, "pressed" meat (it was practically waterlogged) slab-like slices? C'mon! GROSS. Do better, and I'll be back...

The owner is a weirdo & was unnecessarily rude to me for no reason. I didn't know they were closed,The owner had walked out the door & was standing outside the door on the patio, I had no idea he was the owner and instead of him telling me sorry they were closed and didn't open till 11:00, he opened the door for me and allowed me to go in ...??🤦‍♀️

and so the cooks had to tell me they were closed till 11:00, so I asked to use the restroom and they let me use the restroom and as I was walking out I was speaking to the owner regarding my disappointment in the food from another restaurant and he just dismissed me and "yea I gotcha" & opened the door and let me out and then as the door was closing he loudly started telling the cooks "I'm sorry....".. I don't know what else he said but it was I guess because he allowed me in... He must be a Democrat.

Moral of the story: Don't be rude to customers for no reason and if you're closed, kindly tell the customer what time you open and don't allow people in until then, it's not...
