One of the first things you notice about Logan's Roadhouse, when you walk in, is the peanut husks covering the floor.  This is an old tradition in many bars; the husks absorb spilled drinks pretty well, and make it difficult to slip.  They also polish the hardwood floor, and the peanut oils inside give the flooring a nice honey color.  At least, they should have polished the hardwood floor; the Logan's in El Paso has poured slab flooring.  I do hear they have hardwood floors in other states...

The husks come from buckets of peanuts on each table.  I must say that the peanuts were pretty good.

Unfortunately, after the peanuts, the meal went downhill.  The salad was pretty good, the bread was good but was coated with butter.  I personally prefer dry crusts, and being able to butter my own bread; your taste may differ.

Next was the appetizer, after a small amount of confusion with my order.  The baby back ribs were edible, though by no means anything special; dry, with the standard barbecue sauce.  Under the ribs lay a bed of bland nachos, along with a container of still blander barbecue sauce.  After the tangy sauce on the ribs, I could barely tell the dip from catsup.

I'd ordered cinnamon apples with my steak, as a change from the typical baked potato; it was a good choice.  It was certainly better than the 22 oz porterhouse, which was overcooked and tough.  I don't think grilling it properly would've helped much; it was fairly cheap meat.  Very unexpected, from a restaurant which touts its steaks on its front facade and displays them in a glass case.

I'm certain this meal would've been lots better with beer goggles and a numb tongue; I'm reviewing restaurants, though, not bars.  Every other drink 'n dine establishments I've been to had better food than Logan's.  If you're looking for a spot to munch peanuts and drink beer, well, maybe this'll fit your bill; I still wouldn't recommend it.  The place lacks character.  I'm going to have to suggest you give this one a pass.  Go to a local bar & grill instead.
