“We love eating at Texas Roadhouse. Good food at a great price. This evening we dined there and we had the nicest, most attentive server we have ever had. Kim did an amazing job and she is the reason that I decided to post. From now on if she is working we want her to be our server!“

“Friendly people, delicious food, great prices. I had the pulled chicken one day and came back for the ribs. Both were perfect!“

“My wife and I stopped by this afternoon for our first visit. If I could give them a 10 star review I would. We were greeted with huge smiles and a welcoming spirit from all the staff. Since we had never eaten there, I asked an employee for his recommendation and he turned out to be one of the managers named Trent. He was absolutely fabulous and kind and spoke to us for quite some time and made us feel like family instead of customers. He gave us solid recommendations and we tried the baby back ribs and smoked Turkey plates. The ribs were amazing to say the least but let me tell you about the smoked Turkey….it was banging. Best Turkey I’ve ever eaten. Hands down. The General Manager, Jeremy, also came and greeted us and told us about the restaurant and their philosophy, nothing frozen, and not even a microwave in the restaurant, everything is fresh made in house. He recommended the collards and macaroni and cheese. The collards were amazingly tender and just the right amount of spice, this was soul food level. Mac and Cheese, incredible. We acted like we had not eaten in a week and also got the potato salad and Cole slaw. The potato salad was like what I remember as a kid, a mustard based that made me smile. The cole slaw was a apple cider vinegar and sugar based and tasted like they made it just fresh just for us. And let’s don’t forget the cheese corn bread/biscuits that were moist and delicious. And I know that this is a long post and I’ve bragged on the food and how incredible it was but I will have to say, even as amazing as our meal was, the staff was even more amazing. We literally felt like we were the most valued customers because of the kindness and friendliness of the staff. 10 out of 10 experience all the way around. And we left with banana pudding and lemon meringue pie and it may be 2 days before I could possibly eat again. Thank you to Trent and Jeremy for a wonderful experience.“

“Clinton.Tn Went though the drive thru and bought brisket dinner and a brisket sandwich. The brisket was like wallet leather dry and the fries were stale and cold I took it inside and the crew today was so respectful and thoughtful. They apologized and made fresh fries and the just had fresh brisket come out. I will def. Retired because of the customer service I experienced. However, ensuring food meets quality before being served should be more focused on.“

“I love buddy’s bbq but they seriously need to step up their sides portions.. why did I get 5 small bites of mac and cheese as my side when I even had to pay an upcharge for it?? Feels like it’s not worth getting any side other than fries tbh.“

“Our waiter, Jai, at the Pigeon Forge location was the best. He was polite, attentive and extremely efficient. When we arrived on a very cold, TN afternoon, he noticed us linger by the fireplace and immediately served a cup of hot coffee. Please know that he is an asset to your business.“

“Lived in Tennessee for 4 years now. Had some “okay” BBQ here and there. Some dude had a smoker at an old gas station, that kinda thing. It was all bland and overly salty. Famous Dave’s is excellent. You can taste the wood smoke in the brisket. The house BBQ sauce is really good. Great pork ribs. Best BBQ we have found in Tennessee.“

“Always a great experience! The food tastes delicious and the staff is always friendly! It is my favorite restaurant to eat breakfast! Maryville, TN location on Morganton Road.“

“I have wanted a steak from here for a month. Husband ordered me the 8oz Medium well. I immediately went to cut it and it was rare. I mean blood pouring out. I can't eat rare or even Medium cooked steaks. There was one little piece that was medium well on the end. Thought I would eat it. NOPE, hard as a rock. What is wrong with people and the way they cook. I have the ticket that says Medium Well. let's just say it wouldn't have been pretty if I was in the restaurant eating. Thanks for nothing. At least I ate the salad and two rolls. FYI, Husband's Prime rib was good to him.“

“Despite not having a working dishwasher everything was still clean and immaculate and the food came out at a decent time. Our server Katelynn was extremely polite and very attentive to what we needed the food was very delicious had a great time we'll come back again soon. 😄 Thanks for making our first time there a great experience for date night!“

“Damn shame u can’t open dining room“
