The Texas Roadhouse Entree You Should Avoid Ordering At All Costs - Tasting Table

"Texas Roadhouse has quite the menu, featuring hand-cut steaks, different burgers, and even a variety of meaty salads. The beloved steakhouse has a lot of bangers, but inevitably, there are some items you should avoid ordering at the Roadhouse. One such dish is a Southern classic that's just not living up to customers' expectations, and that's Texas Roadhouse's Pulled Pork Dinner."

"The texture of the pork is overly fatty on one end and fearfully dry on the other, creating inconsistency on the plate and meaning that you won't know what experience the next bite will bring. The only highlight (or, better yet, saving grace) of the dish appears to be the side of zesty barbecue sauce, which you can pour over the meat to mask its flaws."

"The toasted pieces of bread that come alongside the pork aren't doing any favors for the meal, either. In fact, they're a stark contrast to what good bread should be, which is quite ironic, considering our favorite Texas Roadhouse menu items are the buttery dinner rolls. Our taste tester ultimately concluded that the best part of ordering Roadhouse's Pulled Pork Dinner is really just the two sides you get to choose alongside the main."

"Many Roadhouse customers have found themselves disappointed with the eatery's Pulled Pork Dinner. It seems that the main issue with the dish is its inconsistency, with several reporting to be surprised when they received a plate of the less-than-appetizing pork even though they had previously loved the dish. Complaints often range from the meat being too spicy to too salty to much too fatty. One customer even reported finding bones scattered within the shredded pile of meat."

Texas Roadhouse's Pulled Pork Dinner exhibits poor presentation and inconsistent meat quality. The pork can be overly fatty on one end and fearfully dry on the other, creating unpredictable bites. Zesty barbecue sauce can mask some flaws, but cannot fully redeem the dish. The accompanying toasted bread lacks the appeal of the popular buttery dinner rolls. The two selectable sides often provide the most enjoyable elements of the meal. Customer reports describe wide variability in seasoning and texture, citing examples of overly spicy, overly salty, excessively fatty meat, and even bones found within the shredded pork.
