"Taste of Texas blends hearty Texas charm with fine steaks from its in-house butcher shop and an extensive salad bar. Diners can choose cuts of beef by the ounce, including a rib-eye and a center-cut filet, or go for other mains like buttery lobster and pecan-crusted chicken. Decked out during the holidays with festive decor, this family-friendly spot in Memorial often chosen for celebratory meals or holiday gatherings." - Marcy de Luna
"A Texas-based steakhouse that viewed the effort to rebrand the New York strip as the “Texas strip” as potentially advantageous for businesses that trade on Texas pride, reflecting a split in local opinion about the rename." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The Houston, Energy Corridor steakhouse — which markets itself as a Texas-themed destination with a Texas history museum and attracts many international diners — embraced the idea as a natural fit: co-owner Nina Hendee said, "When that news broke last week, we just laughed. That’s perfect for us. We’re Texas-themed, with a Texas history museum." She described the restaurant's tourist-oriented touches, noting, "We take a photo of the guests with a Stetson [cowboy hat] and a bandana, and they just love all things Texas," and said a name change could be an asset for international visitors. Hendee acknowledged the cost of reprinting (their menu is translated into 17 different languages) and said any change would be added during their annual menu reprint, likely identifying the true cut (New York strip) in the descriptive text underneath a new name. The report also notes Reddit users have identified the Hendees as staunch Republicans." - Brittany Britto Garley
"If you're looking for a steak with Texas history, Taste Of Texas is the only spot to go. The place is filled to its barn roof with Texas memorabilia and actual antique weapons. And not only does their prime rib taste great, but it goes nicely with a trip to the all-you-can-eat salad bar flanked by giant slabs of cheese. Come here for birthdays and whenever those out-of-town friends need reminding that Texas is the best damn state in the union." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"If you are looking for a great steak with a side of Texas history, Taste Of Texas is the only spot to go. Filled to the cavernous barn roof brim with Texas memorabilia, photos, and actual antique weapons, Taste Of Texas serves a classic steakhouse menu. Not only do the steaks, including a tender prime rib, taste fantastic, but this spot also offers an all-you-can-eat salad bar with fresh bread and giant slabs of cheese. Great for birthdays, for letting your kids roam around and look at old photos, and for those out-of-town friends who need to know why Texas is the best damn state in the union. While you think of the Alamo, remember Taste Of Texas." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
