More About

In fact Texas State of Mind doesn't miss an opportunity to remind the customer that bigger is better. Sweetened or unsweetened iced tea, lemonade, and root beer were jumbo as elephants. Even a side salad was gargantuan, a veritable head of chopped iceberg lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and quartered tomatoes. The same salad becomes a meal when chicken breast is grilled and laid on top (that's the "Houston") or when it's tossed with Parmesan cheese and caesar dressing (the "Dallas").

Despite its lack of atmosphere, I've clearly found the place to go when I'm in the mood for a good plate of grub, which I have to admit is fairly often. A meal here does as much to put you in a Texas State of Body as it does to satisfy your Texas State of Mind, since it's almost impossible to come away from the place feeling anything less than very, very full. That leaves room only for hope that "bigger and better" applies not just to states but to bellies as well.
