    The burnt ends were absolutely amazing. Well seasoned, expertly cooked, I'm glad I was able to get some as they have been sold out previous times. Also, the drinks were fantastic. Especially the smoked old fashioned. We had a great time and the staff was excellent, friendly and overall just wonderful.

    We had eaten at Tony Romas in Texas years ago and was always great. This particular one has shortened the menu and taken off the onion loaf, which is one of the things people go there for. I specifically looked at the menu online for that location and didn't show the changes. I was disappointed the onion loaf was gone. Food was really good. We had ribs and 12 oz rib eye. But without onion loaf probably won't return.
