Texas Roadhouse

The music is very loud. Most of the time the waiters are dancing in line for a show. The food is good but is a bit pricey. The waiters are nice and on the ball. The waiting area is small so you usually end up outside waiting. Groups over 4 you definately want to call ahead for seat! Otherwise you'll be waiting about an hour. Watch your step because there are peanut shells everywhere! It's the todo thing there along with line dancing. the atmosphere is laid back country western. No dressing up needed, if you don't like country music don't bother goin! This isn't red lobster or outback.

Yee-haw, hee-haw music is blasted at a volume which makes conversation impossible unless you yell. The ambience wasn't my cuppa tea either--black-painted concrete floors liberally littered with peanut shells isn't pretty. The menu items were on the pricey side, especially for this area. You can go to the top restaurants in Parkersburg and get a superb meal for about the same as you would spend here. The least expensive entree on their menu was $7.99--their "Road Kill" (10 oz. chopped steak with onion, mushrooms and jack cheese) while the most expensive entrees were $18.99 (18 oz. Texas T-Bone or the 16 oz. New York Strip Steak). I can't comment on the quality of the food--because we got up and left before ordering. When the waiter came to take our drink order, we asked the music be turned down some. The waiter agreed it was too loud. They turned it down, but as soon as the very next song came on, they cranked the volume back up...so we got up and walked out. And we won't be going back!
