We really like the chain restaurant Texas Roadhouse (http://www.texasroadhouse.com/). They serve pretty big portions on most of the items on the menu. They also bring you rolls with butter free of charge. Restaurants that give you big portions get a bad rap (b/c they contribute to the obesity problem), but we never finish our entrees and instead enjoy the doggie bags we take home later. Besides, it's a good treat to have someone else cook and serve you food every once in a while.
We hadn't been there in a while so we were surprised with the extra charge for toppings on a baked potato, which is considered a "side" there. Let me back up, most Texas Roadhouse entrees come with 2 sides like vegetables, fries, rice, salad etc. Both of us got a baked potato + salad. When we were asked if we wanted a "loaded" baked potato (butter, sour cream and cheese), we said yes. We were really surprised that they tacked on a $1.29 charge for a "loaded" baked potato. The waitress did not warn us about this at all.
We didn't complain but will watch out for this on our next visit. Maybe we can take the butter than comes with our rolls and slather them on our baked potato, ha-ha.
I'm getting sick and tired of getting nickel and dimed for things that used to be included for goods and services (hello airlines?). What's next? Paying for ketchup and mustard at Mcdonalds?
