Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse offers delicious steaks and sides that are always a great value. “I went to Texas Roadhouse back in January for the first time in like 15 years and was blown away by how good it was for the cost. 16oz ribeye, two sides, couple of drinks and got out for $45 with tip,” writes one. The green beans are an excellent side option. “I swear those green beans are some of the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve tried recreating them several times but I still can’t get it exactly right,” a Redditor says. “I need someone to give me some insight on those freaking delicious green beans. Please and thank you. God bless Texas!” A few maintain that bacon fat and sugar are used in the recipe.

Saltgrass Steak House
Saltgrass Steak House draws on the campfire’s inspiration, cooking every Angus beef steak over an open campfire and chargrilling to perfection. The chain’s popular Flash Fried Green Beans are a signature side dish. The fresh green beans are briefly flash-fried or blistered at high heat to make them smoky and tender-crisp while keeping a bright green look. “I’ve been to Saltgrass a couple of times and have always had a good experience there,” one person says.

Even on a well-done steak it still melts :)” someone said. “I had that steak in Reno and it blew my mind,” another commented.
