Question 1

How many calories are in a Texas Roadhouse steak?

Larger richly marbled cuts such as the 16 oz Ft.

Use the Rankings tab in our calculator to sort all 97 items by lowest calories.

Question 3

Does Texas Roadhouse have high-protein menu items?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 76 of the 97 items in our Texas Roadhouse nutrition database provide 20g or more of protein per serving (at least 40% of the FDA 50g Daily Reference Value). Hand-cut steaks deliver 36g to 124g of protein per serving, led by the 20 oz Bone-In Ribeye (124g protein), 23 oz Porterhouse T-Bone (123g protein), 16 oz Prime Rib (117g protein), and 16 oz USDA Choice Sirloin (96g protein). For maximum protein density per calorie, the 8 oz Dallas Filet (61g protein at 430 calories) and 6 oz Sirloin (36g protein at 270 calories) provide over 13g of protein per 100 calories.

Question 4

How many calories are in Texas Roadhouse rolls with butter?

Accepted Answer

Each warm, fresh-baked Texas Roadhouse yeast roll contains approximately 150 to 160 calories plain, or roughly 200 to 225 calories when spread with 1 tablespoon of whipped honey cinnamon butter. Because complimentary table rolls are served by the basket, eating two rolls with butter adds roughly 400 to 450 calories before your entree arrives. You can view rolls and all à la carte sides on our full Menu with Prices page and track your main courses in the calculator above.

Question 5

What are the healthiest sides and starters at Texas Roadhouse?

Accepted Answer

For lighter accompaniment options, the House Salad (230 calories, 3g fiber, 290mg sodium), Cup of Texas Red Chili with Beans (230 calories, 16g protein, 3g fiber), and Grilled Shrimp appetizer (370 calories, 20g protein) offer balanced macros. When ordering an entree with two included sides, pairing a lean grilled steak or salmon with steamed Fresh Vegetables and a House Salad keeps total meal calories and saturated fat low.

Question 6

How much sodium is in Texas Roadhouse food?

Accepted Answer

The FDA Daily Reference Value for sodium is 2,300mg per day for adults. At Texas Roadhouse, plain grilled entrees are relatively moderate in sodium—such as the 5 oz Grilled Salmon (320mg, 14% DV), 6 oz Dallas Filet (430mg, 19% DV), and 6 oz USDA Choice Sirloin (460mg, 20% DV). By contrast, shareable fried appetizers and basted rib platters—like Regular Cheese Fries (5,400mg), Full Slab Ribs (5,010mg), and the Cactus Blossom (5,000mg)—exceed a full day's sodium limit in a single order.

Question 7

Are there low-carb or keto-friendly options at Texas Roadhouse?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Texas Roadhouse is very accommodating for low-carb and ketogenic diets. Every unbreaded hand-cut steak (Sirloin, Dallas Filet, Ft. Worth Ribeye, Bone-In Ribeye, New York Strip, Porterhouse T-Bone, and Prime Rib) contains just 2g of total carbohydrates and 0g of sugar, while the 5 oz and 8 oz Grilled Salmon fillets contain only 1g of carbohydrates. Pair them with a Caesar or House Salad (no croutons) and steamed green vegetables instead of potatoes or bread.

Question 8

Can I see the full FDA-style nutrition breakdown for Texas Roadhouse menu items?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our calculator above provides complete nutrition data for all 97 analyzed Texas Roadhouse items, including calories, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrates, dietary fiber, total sugars, and protein, along with % Daily Values based on a standard 2,000-calorie FDA reference diet (21 CFR 101.9).

Question 9

How do Texas Roadhouse ribs compare nutritionally to steaks?

Accepted Answer

Texas Roadhouse baby back ribs are higher in calories, fat, carbohydrates, and sodium than lean steaks due to pork rib marbling and sweet BBQ sauce glazes. For example, a Half Slab of Ribs contains 900 calories, 59g fat, 36g carbs, 57g protein, and 2,710mg sodium, whereas an 8 oz USDA Choice Sirloin has 340 calories, 17g fat, 2g carbs, 48g protein, and 580mg sodium. Use our Compare tab to evaluate ribs and steaks side by side.

Question 10

Does Texas Roadhouse provide allergen information?

Accepted Answer

Texas Roadhouse's standard nutrition guide does not list item-by-item allergen breakdowns, and shared fryers or grill surfaces can introduce cross-contact with wheat, milk, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. If you have food allergies or celiac disease, always consult the manager at your local Texas Roadhouse restaurant before ordering.
