MANILA, Philippines – A new American restaurant franchise is coming to Manila this April – Texas Roadhouse is opening up the the Uptown Mall in BGC on April 28.
Parts of the mall are still under construction, but on April 22, Texas Roadhouse was already set up, with tables and chairs outside and their lights on.
Inside, their bakery was already churning out some of their famous bread, and their decor – faux hunting trophies, sacks of peanuts – was up on the walls between the booths and tables.
The restaurant serves steaks, burgers, ribs, and many more dishes that are perfect for sharing with friends and family on nights out.
Rappler got to try the food at Texas Roadhouse a week before it opened. Here’s what we were served:
Fresh baked bread
The bread may be complimentary, but it’s worth a separate mention because of its taste and reputation. Texas Roadhouse’s delicious sweet bread is baked fresh every 5 minutes and served with honey cinnamon butter – a must-try if you decide to visit the restaurant.
Rattlesnake bites (P325)
Rattlesnake bites are round, crispy balls of batter oozing with jack cheese and diced jalapeños. To balance out the spiciness, dip these the ranch dressing that they’re served with.
Appetizer combo (P525)
You can get Texas Roadhouse’s potato skins (P395) and buffalo wings (P295 for 5 pcs, P495 for 10 pcs, P225 for 6 oz boneless wings) on their own, but their appetizer combo is great for big groups.
Aside from the potato skins and wings, the appetizer combo also includes a serving of rattlesnake bites.
Crispy chicken salad (lunch P275, regular P495)
Texas Roadhouse serves salads as lighter options, but their big servings are good for sharing too. Their crispy chicken salad has greends, jack and cheddar cheese, egg, and tomatoes, aside from chicken and bits of bacon.
6 oz Sirloin (P595)
We were served juicy 6 oz sirloin steaks at the media event. The 6 oz steak is a good size for one person, but you can also order 8 oz (P895) and 11 oz (P1,145) sirloin steaks to suit your appetite.
The sirloin steak comes with one made-from-scratch side.
22 oz Bone-in ribeye (P2,725)
We also got to try a bone-in ribeye at the event. This steak can serve up to two people, and therefore comes with two made-from-scratch sides.
Texas Roadhouse’s steaks are grilled on an open fire and cooked according to your preferred doneness.
Made-from-scratch sides (P85 for extra)
Most of Texas Roadhouse’s mains come with sides, but if you want extra, you have a dozen to choose from, including steak rice, mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes, and sweet potato.
If you’re unsure of which to get, we recommend getting the sweet potato and loading it up with marshmallows and caramel sauce for an extra P60.
Award winning ribs (half slab P695, full slab P995)
The ribs at Texas Roadhouse fall off the bone and are covered in their sweet, tangy signature barbecue sauce.
Smokehouse burger (P475)
The smokehouse burger has a 6 oz ground chuck patty, along with mushrooms, onions, American and jack cheese, and barbecue sauce. All the burgers at Texas Roadhouse are served with seasoned steak fries.
Texas-sized platter
If you’re dining with a group of 4 or more, a Texas-sized platter is perfect. The platter were were served had oven roasted chicken (P495), beef steak tips (P595), and pork chops (single P295, double P495), which can be ordered individually too.
The chicken, beef, and pork chop platter isn’t on their menu, but you can get similar platters for P1,295 to P1,595.
Frozen turtle pie (P275)
For dessert, try the frozen turtle pie – salted caramel ice cream in an Oreo crust tart, topped with pecans, chocolate, and toffee sauce.
Sangria margarita (10 oz P175, 18 oz P295)
To go with your meal, try a colorful, fruity sangria margarita that looks pretty and tastes great, too. Watch out – it’s the kind of drink that sneaks up on you.
