“I’m not gonna lie, my first time ever visiting a Texas Roadhouse was terrible. It wasn’t on my list of go to’s of places to eat. My husband wanted to go there so I dealt with it. When we got there it was beyond packed! We were told 30 mins we got seated in 15 mins our waiter David told us it would be about 20 mins for our meal. (Given how packed it was) we got our food fairly quick I’d say 10/15 mins. i noticed how quick they got food in and out and for tables cleaned for the next guest. Very well put together. We were greeted by Daniel the manager I believe and he stated for a bit and chatted with us (we’re not approachable people where people try talking to) he brought up metal music and festivals. It was nice little chat. I’d definitely come again. I approve the service all together this place was phenomenal even as packed as it was.“

“The food is awesome. Waitresses really take care of you. There’s a couple of waitresses that are my favorite. They go beyond to make sure that you’re taken care of. Very impressive. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We found this place online and wanted to try it out after church. It wasn’t too busy when we got there, but was starting to pick up as we finished up our lunch. The menu has a little bit of everything which I like a variety. I went with the raised beef that was added to a grilled cheese. With sweet potato fries. The portion size here is very large, so we definitely got to go boxes and it made for a second meal at lunch the next day. Everybody was nice and we would definitely go back.“

“My family and I LOVE this place. The food is always fantastic and the service too. I found it on accident and my mom and I tried it. The menu has so many food choices so I pick something new all the time. I can't say enough good things.“

“If you’re looking for a place that absolutely nails the vibe, the drinks, and the food, The Boardroom is it. This bar delivers on every level, and a huge part of that magic comes from Stephanie, who is hands-down one of the best bartenders you’ll ever meet.

Stephanie doesn’t just make drinks, she *creates* them. Every cocktail is perfectly balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care and skill. You can tell she knows her craft inside and out, and it shows in every glass she serves. Whether you’re ordering a classic or letting her surprise you, you’re guaranteed something amazing.

And the food? Unreal. Stephanie doesn’t just shine behind the bar, she absolutely crushes it in the kitchen too. The in-house sauces she makes are next level, each one packed with bold flavor and clearly made from scratch. They elevate every dish and give the menu a homemade, high-quality feel that’s hard to find these days.

Honestly, everything on the menu is worth trying, but if nothing else, you have to get the chipotle chicken tacos. They are outstanding and alone are reason enough to come back again and again.

Between the great atmosphere, incredible food, and Stephanie’s unmatched talent with both drinks and dishes, The Boardroom isn’t just a bar, it’s an experience. Highly recommended.“

“Great customer service, I definitely come back Again“

“Celebrating My wifeys Birthday“

“Plainly said... this place is bomb 💣 AF!!! I had the chicken melt sandwich and it was juicy, perfectly seasoned and had the right amount of toppings... fries were cooked perfectly. We also had ordered a double bacon burger which was made to order, you can taste that the meat was fresh, bacon didn’t have a lot of fat and it was juicy! This place by far has the best food around.“

“The service was great and the food was good 😋😋“

“Delicious Food. Great owners.“
