Road kill anyone? Where are the mushrooms?

This will be a "two for one" article, a review of Texas Roadhouse both for their reduced carb offerings and the value of their meals.  Everyone is trying to cut back due to the recession, but TR offers some great deals on inclusive meals to keep your tummy full while staying on your eating plan!

This is one of our favorite places to eat; laid back atmosphere, peanut shells on the floor, steaks and salads... I mean what is there to complain about?  The funny costumes, hats, and shirts that the staff wear on occasion... not really.  My favorite meal here is called the Road kill... "10 ounce chopped steak with onions, mushrooms and jack cheese" per their menu.  I sub out the side for the steamed veggies (carrots and broccoli) and of course get their delicious salad with ranch dressing and hold the croutons.  The burger comes out piping hot and cooked the same every time with the onions and mushrooms cooked just right and the cheese is gooey and melted all over the meat.  I am getting hungry just writing about it!

Of course they have dinner rolls that are offered while your food is being prepared, but even better are the dry roasted peanuts available for snacking.  They are a great reduced carb snack especially to help keep you away from those HIGH carb rolls and sweet butter.

The offer reduced pricing for eating early (known as "Early Dine") and have 10 meals to choose from for $7.99.  They include some good reduced carb offerings like the Road Kill, a 6 oz. sirloin steak, grilled BBQ chicken (ask for the BBQ sauce on the side), grilled pork chop, chicken Caesar salad, and a grilled chicken salad (be sure to pass on the croutons...).
