Tokyo Steakhouse and Sushi Bar: An Entertaining Meal in Round Rock

June 26, 2013 by

For your next special night out, consider Tokyo Steakhouse and Sushi Bar in Round Rock. This benihana-style restaurant offers an upscale but relaxed dining environment. The meal is interactive and entertaining as skilled Teppanyaki chefs grill and prepare your food in front of you.  The result is a delicious meal including steak, sushi and maki rolls.  Although a bit pricy,  dinners at Tokyo Steakhouse come with soup, salad, an appetizer and sides. Don't worry — the food is top-notch and the portions reasonable. Many customers rave about their special onion soup. If you’re on a budget, stop by during happy hour every day from 3-7 p.m. Domestic beers are $2, and there are good deals on popular sushi and rolls.  The extended happy hour means you can grab an early dinner for about $15.

This is a popular place, so if you go during peak dinner times you may need to wait, or sit at a traditional table away from the grill. Don't worry, your food will be just as good!

Enjoy Hot Soup at Round Rock’s Pho Viet

May 28, 2013 by

Pho Viet is Round Rock’s spot for a great bowl of Pho. Their menu offers 16 different versions of this classic Vietnamese soup with different combinations of meat — to let you have it your way.  

Customers love the Pho here because the broth is flavorful without being too salty.  The menu has many traditional dishes like a beef clay pot with sautéed beef and mushrooms served with rice.  A unique option is the Vietnamese Crepes which are stuffed with your choice of meat, seafood or veggies and are accompanied by a refreshing salad.  Pho Viet is vegetarian-friendly and offers several tofu dishes – try the vermicelli bowl with tofu. Their Thai tea is highly recommended.  

Service is excellent and they bring the food out hot, so not everyone in your party may get their food at the same time. The staff is welcoming and will likely remember your favorites.  This is a popular lunch spot, and may be busy during peak hours, but fast service and tasty food make it worth the wait.

Want to watch the game? Head to Pluckers Wing Bar in Round Rock, just a few minutes from Hardrock Canyon. This place loves to use their fryers!

Louisiana Longhorn Cafe: “Where the Bayou Meets the BBQ”

March 13, 2013 by

According to the restaurant, Louisiana Longhorn Café boasts “The Best Cajun Food West of the Sabine River.” Where’s that? In the heart of the Louisiana Bayou, of course. All the proprietors hail from Cajun Country, and LLC recreates the laid-back world they grew up in.  When we say this is an authentic experience, we’re not just talking about the Mardi Gras beads; we mean all the food comes from “borrowed” family recipes, the piquant, generations-old work of people with French names and the patience to make sure those Fried Pickles have just the right snap. The Shrimp Acadiana is a peppery eye-opener, and we haven’t had Etouffee this good since we spent a long night in New Orleans. Grab some of “The World’s Coldest Beer” and toast the alligator on the wall—they fry up his buddies here, and after one bite, you’ll wish you had a few in your back yard, too. Louisiana Longhorn Café is closed Mondays.
