Chain steakhouses are typically a popular dining choice for homecoming dinners. With homecoming having just finished up, it seems fitting for me to rate my top three picks of chain steakhouses.
Number three, Outback Steakhouse. Outback Steakhouse house has an amazing variety of entrees including steak and different sea food options. They also offer pretty diverse appetizer and dessert choices too. However, there are a few deal breakers for me on Outback. My main complaint is Outback’s fried appetizers. They tend to be really oily and have made me sick in the past. Fried calamari: four out of ten, do not recommend.
Next up at number two is; Longhorn steakhouse. Longhorn steakhouse has a good variety of entrees and complementary bread just as other chain steakhouses tend to have. I have consistently enjoyed the char on their steaks. Personally, my favorite is their grilled new york strip. However, Longhorn is just kinda bland in all of their other eats. Longhorn isn’t bad, it’s just overall nothing special. Not my favorite, but not my least favorite.
Last but most certainly not least, at number one…Texas Roadhouse. Texas Roadhouse is the superlative of all chain steakhouses, and in my opinion, of all restaurants out there. The leading factor; their bread rolls. Oh my goodness. The soft white bread, with their signature cinnamon honey butter used as a sort of frosting. It simply can’t get any better. Getting into their other appetizers; the blooming onion has to be my next favorite. I’m not personally a big condiment person so I can live without the horseradish sauce, but regardless, you understand. Then their steaks are also typically cooked really well. I mean, come on.
Ultimately, if you are looking to book a reservation or go out to eat your next homecoming, any chain steakhouse would probably suffice. However, using this as a guide just may help please the other individuals in your party. Honey Butter and bread rolls could just be the leading factor in enjoying your homecoming experience to its maximum potential.
