Anyone know of a good steak restaurant?

I am hoping to go someplace that isn't just for the tourists. I will be there a awhile and I don't only want to go to those restaurants on the Riverwalk.

Also, will the weather be warm enough to not bring a heavy coat?

And does the tea come to you already sweetened?

Barn Door Restaurant.

Cowboy style. Reasonable.

Call ahead for wait time.

Oh --- yeah ----> With only a few exceptions (Austin, Dallas, Houston), you will have to plan on eating early. Most steak places in Texas close at 9 p.m. (10-11 on weekends) and the chefs don't start a steak if you come in fifteen minutes before closing. The idea of eating a steak at 2:00 a.m. (a Las Vegas tradition) is not available in Texas, as far as I know. There are places that are 24 hours (Magnolia on S. Congress in Austin, for example), but you wouldn't want to eat a steak there -- Denny's for yuppies.

Cowboy style is one of my favorites. That and reverse cowgirl.

I guess it's better than rodeo stunt clown.

The sweet tea is for me, can you believe that tea served in Jersey is unsweetened. Even after all this time I still cannot get used to it.

At least we have a choice here.

I'm sorry, you're out of luck. There is nothing good in Texas.

It's mostly unsweetened here, too. We have this stuff that we put in it when we want it sweet. I don't remember what they call it. It's this white granular stuff that comes in bags and packets and sometimes boxes.

I took some friends of mine from Ohio to the city (Charleston). I ordered and for my drink I said I wanted sweet tea. My friend's wife ordered and said she wanted just tea. Our waitress, in typical southern drawl, said "Just tea? We don't serve that here."

Of course she didn't order the shrimp and grits either.

I bolded the funny part.

I love grits. A true gift from the south.
Those and mint juleps.

Hey, I'm from a community of 600. No stop lights.

You can't build a city in the low country.

Ha! We have two stoplights and 3000 folks. We even have a turning lane next to the McDonalds and CVS because they're so busy. Our parade even has actual llamas in it.

My buddy from Ohio thought they were some type of southern carnage like chit'lings or something.

For some reason they are kind of rare up here. I have no idea why.

You know my ears perked when you typed "low country".

I go there every time I have a hankerin for some pickled pig knuckles. You know, those ones in the jar on the counter at the Phillips 66 station.

Speaking of the south, we've been looking for a home in the southern areas either for rental or maybe a second or whatever. No concrete plans just yet. Anyway, I was watching tv and hubby was online looking at realtor sites and he said he found this house in Kentucky that was built on a hill and overlooked something like a 100 acres of hills and woods. He was all excited because it only cost 50K. I said "Does the name of the town end in 'hollow?'" He said yes. I said "click out of it, dear."
