Texas Road House steak house

[kraigWY]

Apparently the Texas Road House is a gun friendly restaurant. Last night I took my wife to the Rapid City TRH for her birthday dinner and notice some guy open carrying. No one cared, no one got excited. Family, kids, all sorts of people and they acted as it was a normal every day occurrence.

I always carried there but concealed, never thought about it.

Also if you go there on your birthday you get to ride the pony.

I knew i liked that place for more reasons than the peanuts, steaks, potatoes, and beer.

The one in Sheridan Colorado has a whole display for fallen SEAL. Danny Dietz. There is a mural and a lot of stuff donated by his family.

good on em, but I have never like open carry. Most do so in non-retention holster which is double stupid. Maybe I be wrong but I suspect 95% of the people I see open carrying handguns have never had any weapons retention training, meaning me or anyone else who knows how could take their weapon and kill them with it in about 1.5 seconds. If you have the proper holster and training, have at it though it is still asking for trouble.

The problem I have with open carrying is that most criminals use the surprise method when committing a crime, so if they see someone open carrying won't they target the guy open carrying first?

Open carry notwithstanding, I bet that wasn't the only gun in the place. I know I had mine, wife had hers, I'm sure there were more.

But I do live in a gun friendly area.

Wife and I were just in Texas a few weeks ago dreaming of the day we can get out of California and ate there twice. Food was SO GOOD!!! I also have a picture of my wife sitting on the saddle for her birthday.

You know when you move to Texas you are required to own a truck and a horse

I am not originally from CA. However, I lived there for 10 years and met my wife there. She to will tell you she was not originally from CA. I could not wait to move to Texas. There are others coming from New York, New Jersey, and CA. I have seen their cars with BO 2012 stickers, so I am afraid that Texas might change for the worse. I would back a law saying only Texan can vote, meaning you have to have at least two generations of being born in Texas. That's right I would give up voting in Texas if it kept some others from being able to vote. I moved to Texas because of how Texas is and don't want to change that at all.

I've eaten at a number of them, the ones in Texas have always been much better than the ones in other states. MUCH better.

(My birthday was last week.) Our youngest daughter bought our supper for my birthday. Yes, I know about the saddle. But I told everyone that if anyone brought the saddle to our table, someone was going to limp home.

I had mine concealed. I promise there were others there.

Totally agree, first one I ate at was in Killeen TX, outside Fort Hood, and was in the 90's. I loved that place and ate there quite often while stationed down there. Then a few years later they started popping up all over and I was excited, well the ones in Kansas, and the ones in the MO are nowhere near as good as the ones down south. I have found one in Blue Springs MO that is great just like the ole one in Killeen. Guess it goes that way with any chain but depending on individual resturaunt they can vary quite a bit.

There was one in Houston we'd hit every time we came through a couple years back. I hear the one in College Station is hard to beat though...

Gun friendly?- Yes
Peanut allergy friendly?= No

I generally avoid chain places. I don't care for restaurants in general, but when I go out to eat I want to go somewhere unique, not somewhere that is also 30 minutes from my house. That said, I was in College Station for my brother's birthday, and he wanted to go to the TX Roadhouse there, to my dismay. I now think their sirloin may be the best deal in steak. It was a little overcooked for medium rare as ordered, but excellent for the price (like 14 bucks for the 12oz or something like that). Washed down with a Shiner= even better.

That's great; looks like you had a fun time! It's also nice to hear there are still some places where a properly holstered sidearm won't induce panic. Unfortunately in Ohio we have had several highly publicized cases of "open carry gone wrong" due to the overreactions of the gun fearing/hating public and overzealous law enforcement. Even though open carry is legal by statute it's only practical to carry concealed. I wonder if our "Texas Roadhouse has the same perspective as yours does?
