I am originally from New York and it was wonderful to try delicious food from Texas. The only con is the price but it is well worth it! I recommend taking your family for a nice dinner here!
Read More On Citysearch bluechick 1/13/2010 - Great breads, steaks and deserts!!!The salad bar has been revamped but still lacks much. It offers mostly the basics while charging almost $10.00 for it. The steaks are great, the breads are great, the deserts are great and the service is great. I've been a fan for at least a dz yrs going there several times a yr. Hope to see it continue to prosper. I don't understand the negative reviews. I can only believe it must be for the o...

We always go there for special occasions (birthdays, graduation, etc.). Sure there are no reservations, so you have to wait, but they have a huge comfortable waiting area with a bar, popcorn to snack on, and plenty of TV's to watch, if you're not the type to converse with your party. The price...
Read More On Citysearch hollieberry09 11/24/2009 - STAY AWAY...SAVE YOUR MONEYThe place is a tourist trap, plain and simply put. The steaks don't come near Pappas Brothers, Flemings, Capital Grill and etc. The salad bar is the only redeeming value. It's amazing the place does so well, except for the fact it plays off the TEXAS motif. Don't waste your time or money, you can get the same quality at Salt Grass for half the price. YES, I said Salt Grass, that Fertittatiz...
Read More On Citysearch TheBestCritic 11/20/2009 - adequate food; much is wrong
This place is too expensive in light of the quality of food. This place is oddly popular, making the no-reservations policy tremendously oppressive. And it's very "suburban" in the worst ways.
Read More On Citysearch cmk1126 11/19/2009 - Great RestaurantThis is the best restaurant that we have been to in Texas and the California Bay area. Yes, it will be a little more expensive, but it is of the highest Quality. It is hard to cook an almost 2 inch ribeye perfectly and they did two for us. The crew was great and quick to serve. I judge a restaurant's cleanliness by how clean their restrooms are. TTR was one of the best in the cleanliness, w...
Read More On Citysearch oldflyfisherman 10/12/2009 - Lifetime customer, but will NEVER returnIf I were rating the food, I would give it 4 stars; however, my latest experience was so bad that Taste of Texas has lost a lifetime customer.
Website says "family-friendly," but it is NOT. If small children are a problem, this term should not be used. Apparently loud obnoxious salesmen are not a problem, because the table next to us carried on as much as they wanted.
Read More On Citysearch csfh 10/6/2009 - Great ambiance!Great place to take out of towners to show them some Texas history as well as an enjoyable dining experience. Although the food is very good, I've found the steak, at times, to lack flavoring that I've noticed at other higher end restaurants. Overall a great place to dine. Great service.

We chose Taste of Texas for the quality of food we remembered from a previous visit. Last night, 1/10/09, was not a treat. There was a male employee at the front door, I'm not sure if he was a host or a manager, but he dampened what could have been a nice evening. We waited for a table without complaint for an hour and then saw t...

Read More On Citysearch megnix02 1/10/2009 - Overpriced for the quality but great Ambience, Certainly not a WINE BARTaste of Texas is below average based on the available steakhouses in Houston. Their strongest suit is the decor and overpriced wine list which carries some very nice labels, but at a premium price. Steaks are not on the level of Capital Grill, Pappas, Morton's, Ruth's, and etc. They rank somewhere between those mentioned and the Texas Land and Cattle, and Saltgrass quality. It is a great pla...

To make this review short and strait to the point; I went to Taste Of Texas Monday night with friends, and waited for 1 1/2hrs to get a table. When I ordered the Cowboy Steak (24oz Ribeye bone in) med-rare it came out med-well. For a $40 steak I expected great steak. I complained, and the second time around it came out RARE...

My husband's company Christmas dinner was held there this past Saturday. As soon as I heard where the dinner was to be held, I looked the restaurant up to read the reviews.

This place is great to take out of town guests if you want to show them a little bit of Texas. Its not overkill...but warm and inviting..like a nice upscale hunting lodge. Mounted wildlife, crackling fireplaces, fully bricked interior, and a wine cellar to die for. They offer fabulous, high grade meat...you can even pick out...

My wife had never been to ToT, therefore we decided to go for dinner to celebrate our anniversary.

Read More On Citysearch Czcz 6/28/2008 - Don't botherMy husband had talked up Taste of Texas for months, but since it was a little beyond our newlywed budget, I did not have the chance to eat there until my sweet hubby splurged for my birthday. I was so excited, and eager to sample such a highly recomended restaurant. To make things festive, I dressed up in a formal dress, and hubby wore his tux, and we went out on the town. We were seated promptly...

I accidentally somehow signed up for a newsletter, that I get a few times a year. I've called and e-mailed and everything else but they just won't remove me from their mailing list.
I thought the place was loud and busy. It seemed to take forever to get seated and then served. There's better places to go.

This sign prevents law abiding customers who are licensed to carry a handgun concelaed from carrying in the place of business. It does not prevent criminals from carrying handguns in the place of business.

Unfortunately, the average wait to get a table is just a little over an hour if you have 4 in your party. Anything over 4 and the wait increases by about 45 minutes to an hour. I have come to accept this as part of the dinning experice at the Taste of Texas so I...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 2/11/2008 - Used to be good - now it's a rip-off living off of a formerly good name. Avoid.More than $10 per drink is simply ridiculous. It took the guy about 12 minutes to make 2 margaritas and a pina colada-that's inexcusable. That ice shaving machine you've got is silly, slow, and loud, especially since bartender is inept. My wife complained that her drink tasted like ice water, but when she saw the look of disgust in my eyes when I thought of going to get the drink remade and miss...
Read More On Citysearch LarryBrown 2/7/2008 - Great FoodThe food, the service, the atmosphere is very very good. The salad bar gets a little crowded, but the wait is well worth the array of choices from salads, cheeses, and my favorite, breads. The waitstaff was polite, very helpful with selection choices, and very attentive. Worth the price.

We were pleasantly surprsied then, and have been thoroughly pleased ever since. Being a meat eater, and a huge fan of steak, I won't settle for the run-of-the-mill (fill in your own chain steak house here) steak.

It took my husband 20 minutes to find a spot. The worst part, though, is the food...it is flat, boring and completely without flavor. The salad bar is tiny and uninteresting, the prime rib thin and leathery, and the sides completely tasteless. Even the cheescake tasted fro...

It's so good, I stopped swearing off red meat. The prime rib is divine. DIVINE. It's perfectly roasted, tender, juicy, and melts like butter in my mouth. I don't understand how people order an appetizer, with a salad bar and bread bar, it's enough to almost make me full. I can never finish th...

Walking it, it was a bit surreal- I have never seen so many people waiting in one place. That said, there is a great waiting area with snacks and drinks, and the numbers go up on a screen so they are not constantly yelling out people's names. We had to wait, but they have a nice bar area and we were ac...

If the steak doesn't impress you (which I doubt will happen), then the salad bar has to. This place is one of the best places for salads. They have a very courteous staff and incredible food, what more can you ask for? Well, they let you tour the place and many schools have field trips...

You can order a very small cut (6 oz) if you don't have a huge appetite.
I really enjoyed the salad bar they had here - it was excellent for a steak house salad bar.

I am a bit frustrated at the increase in the prices as I'm sure most customers are. I think I'll lay off steak for a while until the prices come back down. A great place for having a good time.
PROS: Great food and service
CONS: expensive price

The salad bar was nice, and my steak was really good. The atmosphere is very much like Saltgrass, as was the meal. I would say that it is a good place to eat, but for the price I would much prefer other steakhouses in Houston. I dont like the fact that you cant make a reservation for small parties.

Mixed reviews from me.My mom really should have complained on Mother's Day after sitting for close to two hours in line, after her spinach stuffed chicken was "disgusting".

Most restaurants can't seem to ubderstand what rare is. So credit for that. Service was decent, however maybe a bit rushed. Salad bars are passe.
Read More On Citysearch plugitn 4/6/2004 - Less Than The BestObvious popular location based on the crowd, but having someone to talk to is the obvious attraction. The steaks are usually undercooked or overcooked. I have visited the restaurant more than three times and each time, the steaks had to be sent back because it was not prepared as requested. The lobster tails are really dry. The side dishes are less than stellar. A REALLY overrated establisment.

Read More On Citysearch djj010687 1/2/2004 - Jim BroadwayI think it is a very good family resturant but I don't think it rates number 1 as a steakhouse. To be a great steakhouse, the meat should be prime beef, number one and it should be an elegant with classic decor such as Ruth's or Pappas with similar type service.

I go on off peak hours, and have never waited to be seated. I have tried most other steak houses in Houston, and this one is nice.

But while there are fancier places to eat, the top of my list as far as taste and cut goes is either location of Perry's Steak House in Clear Lake, a suburb city of houston.

Unfortunately, they have a wonder setting and offer a "good feeling" of being in a Texas Eatery. But the food is lacking and not worth the price. If you want to enjoy the ambiance...eat CHICKEN!!! Save you Steakbuds for somewhere else.
Read More On Citysearch batkins 8/20/2003 - Was once a favoriteAs is all too often the case, high standards are almost impossible to maintain. The service was once impeccable because every employee was hired based not only on their abilities but their own drive to succeed. My last three dining experiences were so poor it left me no other choice but to find another steak place.
Once the best, now too much like all of the rest.

If you have kids this is the place to go, if they don't mind waiting.. When paying those prices you certainly don't want to have to help yourself at the salad bar... I will always pick one of the other steakhouses in town, especially considering they take RESERVATIONS!!!!
