The Texas Steakout has been a stable restaurant in Limerick city for nearly thirty years, a firm favourite amoung locals and tourists alike it is not hard to understand how this iconic of restaurants has stood the test of time.
” Good Honest Hearty Food ” is how the restaurants wed site describe the food style and is probably one of the few remaining restaurants serving this style of food. Now at first impressions you may ask yourself if this style of food is a little dated but testimony to itself it has stood the test of time. So many modern Chefs concentrate on current styles or trends or indeed they may be in the process of developing a style of their own but so many times chefs can make the mistake of creating beautiful dishes that no one really wants to eat, this however is far from the case at the Texas Steakout.
Consistently since opening its doors all those years ago the Texas has been serving good quality food that everyone wants to enjoy and this is evident in its longevity but also in its day to day running, whatever day or night you decide to visit the Texas you will always find it busy and active with a welcoming atmosphere and staff who are welcoming and willing to create for you a memorable experience.
There a several menus to choose from depending on the time of day you visit but as I like evening dining I always opt for their value menu. Now the reason I always choose this menu is in part that it is very good value and has a good selection of courses in each section as with this in mind it has everything I want to eat. A variety of starters from traditional soups and vol au vents to trending chicken wings and BBQ ribs and all lip smacking good.
Main course range from fish and chips to burgers and to my particular favourite the 8oz sirloin steak cooked beautifully and served with fresh onion rings, my sauce of choice is always pepper sauce with a side of fries or baked potato. it may seem that I am a creature of habit but when it comes to the Texas this is a no brainer for me as I rarely eat steak this would be my indulgent choice as my treat as it is cooked so beautifully and should you decide to add a glass or two of wine then this becomes a simple feast.
Seldom I indulge in dessert as I find that the flavours of the wine and the sweet desserts can conflict so to further indulge I more then always choose an Irish Coffee, why not.
To sum up I can only say that the Texas will always be a true and welcoming experience no matter what demography you fit into there is and all ways will be a place for you in this the most iconic of Limericks landmarks.
