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.
