according to the conversation we had while we where there, he said it was pretty much authentic, since we eat pretty much the same things .
he said vegimite would have made it complete. ------------------ Get The IronWorks Winamp skin Slackerboys Custom Characters |

(Shhhhh~*whisper* I know Yorick may not get to Texas, but we can always attempt to lure him into a future trip. ) I think "The Prarie House" would be quite the experience! Is there decor that of the days of early settlers in this part of the country? There are similar places in Arizona, meant to celebrate the Old West but they are much more for tourist attraction than regular dining (in other words, you eat there once for the experience but never go back because the food was not all that great.)

But all the way around, the food is outstanding. I've never been disappointed when I went there. The only upset I've ever had at the Prarie House was when the last time we went, an elderly lady was in the middle of having a heart attack during our meal, and there were paramedics there. That was hardly the Prarie House's fault, and I had to give them kudos for their expert handling of a sticky situation. I think the lady survived, although I have no idea what happened after they left with her in an ambulance. They seemed to have gotten her situation under control while they were with her, at least. On weekends, you can hear live music at the Prarie House as well (and it's mainly jazz/blues...if you want "boot-scootin'", go down the road a mile to the Trail Dust. ) There's nothing worse than to be trying to eat with loud honky-tonk music of the most common variety blaring at you, and people bumping into your table who are dancing backwards on sawdust. Nope, Outback and Prarie House are fine enough for me! ------------------ |

I don't think I have ever been disappointed in a meal at the Outback. I just prefer our local Salt Grass for the atmosphere. They have a few separate rooms and an outside dining area. In one of the rooms, there is a fireplace and some western decor (without it being in excess) and the tables are placed in a way that dining can be a more private experience compared to our local Outback's booths and people traffic. The Outback is a popular restaurant! You don't get the crowds by serving bad food! I think the Salt Grass might be a tad bit more expensive too, but it is worth it IMO, at least here in SA. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Moni (edited 08-12-2001).] |

They are excellent aren't they. They have the best stake of any big restaurant like that. The only close contender I can think of is Fridays, and their bar is better too
