Taste of Texas fits the classic Yogi Berra saying, ""Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore... it's too crowded.""
The place is always packed for good reasons -- great food and probably the best service you'll find on the West Side. This is a big place and the quality is comparable to Brenner's or Sullivan's, but it's not as cozy. A good place to take in-laws who don't like you -- it won't change their minds about you, but it will give them one less thing to criticize.
For a business lunch, get there at 11:00, or be prepared to wait a while for a table.
Approach from the I-10 inbound feeder east of the tollway. Don't try to take the Gessner exit from I-10 inbound to make the immediate right turn into the Taste of Texas driveway, or you'll get killed by the heavy traffic on the feeder.
