What people say, in short
Taste of Texas draws recommendations for its Texas-themed atmosphere, attentive service and salad bar. Some diners find it a useful choice for visitors, while others consider the steaks less impressive than those at competing steakhouses. Value is disputed, and one diner sees it as worth trying for the setting rather than as the city's strongest steak meal.
