(repost from other venue)
Does Houston really need another steakhouse? The recent buzz about Roger Clemens' new steakhouse has me pondering how far the Clemens theme is extended to the dining experience...
1. Order a steak.
2. Cook demands option to occasionally leave the kitchen to attend son's home ec classes.
3. Meal arrives but waiter holds out steak for indefinite period, "weighing his options".
4. Steak flavor and texture are both inconsistent.
5. Andy Pettitte swipes your side dishes to another table.
6. Valet parking rate raised during the meal to compensate for food costs.
I've eaten at more than a few Houston steakhouses and have been profoundly unimpressed with the service, food quality or both. Adding one more seems like a farce, especially given the way half the city views Clemens right now.
I'll try the place with a group and report back.

The only Texas steakhouse I've been to is Bob's, and man was that place strange. What is with the gigantic glazed carrot? Do we need a huge phallic symbol on every plate?
As for the Roger Clemens steakhouse experience, you forgot to mention that every few years just as service and food were getting consistently good, he'd move the steakhouse to a different city. And then bitch about how lousy the previous city was. And also start charging double what he used to charge. And if your steaks were lousy? Well, he wasn't getting good enough support from his waitstaff.
Roger Clemens sucks.
