Dallas/Fort Worth DU Holiday Gathering
I think it would be a great idea for all of us Metroplex DUers to gather for a meal together before the holidays hit us. Who's with me on this one?

That Texas Roadhouse on I-20 in Grand Prairie comes to mind, but I'm open to other suggestions. What say we shoot for next weekend?

14. Oh Goodie,
thanks for the link.

I reviewed the menu, and realized there was a lot of good choices.

My spouse may be able to attend as well, but he'll have to confirm a little later in the week (if that's ok)?

I look forward to meeting everyone that will be there!:woohoo:

15. Ok, I'm in. Although I'm wondering...
is this place remotely veggie-friendly? I'm not so big on the meat. And could someone repost the address / directions? :hi:

19. I'm looking at the menu right now...
They've got a Country Veg Plate (your choice of four veggie items) as well as salads. There's also some veggie appetizers such as their "Cactus Blossom" fried onion and "Rattlesnake Bites" fried jalapeno cheese bites.

Veggies offered on the country plate are as follows:

Fresh Vegetables medley
Green Beans
Baked Beans
House or Caesar Salad
Seasoned Rice
Mashed Potatoes
Baked Potato
Sweet Potato
French Fries

Hope this helps!
