You can never be too rich or too thin… or have too many steakhouses. Or at least that’s how it seems in our little corner of paradise these days.

To prove it, here comes another one. This time it’s the local outpost of Texas Roadhouse, a giant national chain of meateries that’s slated to open next month on Southern Boulevard just west of the turnpike in West Palm Beach. The vibe is casual, family-friendly; the look is faux-rustic roadhouse. (Go figure…)

The restaurant’s specialty is Texas-size portions of Choice steaks, ribs, chicken, burgers and munchies for the kids. Prices are a very unsteakhouse-like moderate, with the most expensive cut, a 23-ounce porterhouse, selling for $25.99, and most steaks either under or near $20.

The rest of the menu is all-American comfort food, from wings and Texas red chili to jalapeno poppers and fried pickles. A little online sleuthing reveals that the Roadhouse chain is known for its complementary rolls with cinnamon butter and peanuts.
