6oz sirloin is the smallest hand-cut steak Texas Roadhouse sells, listed around $16.99 on its own and $22.99 paired with ribs. Both come with two sides and unlimited rolls, so the plate eats bigger than 6 ounces sounds.
What the 6oz sirloin is
The 6oz sirloin is a six-ounce portion of center-cut top sirloin, cut and trimmed by a butcher inside the restaurant rather than shipped in pre-portioned. Six ounces is the pre-cooked raw weight, which is the standard the whole industry quotes.
That last detail explains a lot of the complaints you see online. A 6oz steak loses moisture on an open grill and plates closer to four and a half or five ounces cooked. It also means the steak is thin, usually well under an inch, and thin steaks overshoot easily.
| What it is | Six-ounce center-cut top sirloin, hand-trimmed in store |
|---|---|
| Menu category | Hand-Cut Steaks; also sold in a steak-and-ribs combo |
| Size and portion | 6 oz raw weight; roughly 4.5–5 oz cooked, about ¾ inch thick |
| Price, solo | Around $16.99; regional menus move it |
| Price, with ribs | $22.99 (verified: “Sirloin 6oz + Ribs”) |
| Calories | About 250 for the steak alone |
| What’s included | Two sides plus unlimited rolls with cinnamon butter (dine-in) |
| Best ordered | Medium-rare to medium; too lean and thin for well-done |
6oz sirloin price
Expect roughly $16.99 for the 6oz sirloin by itself and $22.99 for the 6oz sirloin with ribs. Texas Roadhouse prices by market, not nationally, so your store can sit 10-15% above or below those figures without anything being wrong.
| Listing | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 6oz sirloin | ~$16.99 | Steak, two sides, rolls |
| 6oz sirloin + ribs | $22.99 (verified) | Steak, rib portion, two sides, rolls |
| 8oz sirloin | Varies by location | Two more ounces; typically $3–5 over the 6oz |
| 11oz / 16oz sirloin | Varies by location | Not stocked at every store; call before you drive |
Steak toppings are charged separately, which is the line people forget to budget for. The only price feed tied to your store is the official Texas Roadhouse app.
Sizes and portions: is 6oz enough?
For most adults eating the full plate, yes. The 6oz sirloin arrives with two sides and a basket of rolls, so the steak is maybe a third of the food in front of you. Ordered alone with no sides, six ounces is a light meal.
Here is the honest way to decide. If you normally finish a restaurant entree and leave nothing, the 6oz plus two sides will fill you. If you count protein grams or always want a doggy bag, size up to the 8oz. If you are hungry rather than just eating, the ribs combo gives you far more food per dollar than jumping a steak size.
Calories and nutrition
The 6oz sirloin runs about 250 calories for the steak by itself, which makes it one of the leanest entrees in the building. That figure covers the beef and the house seasoning only, and it says nothing about what shares the plate.
| Component | Calories | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 6oz sirloin, steak only | ~250 | Lean cut, minimal added fat |
| Two sides | Not included | Green beans to loaded potato is a several-hundred-calorie spread |
| Rolls with cinnamon butter | ~230 each | Unlimited, which is the actual risk |
| Steak toppings | Varies | Cheese and gravy toppings add the most |
If you are ordering this steak because it is lean, the steak is not the decision. Two rolls with butter out-calorie the sirloin. Pair it with green beans and a plain baked potato and you have a genuinely light steakhouse meal. Full per-item nutrition is printed on in-store menus, and allergen questions should go to a manager.
The 6oz sirloin and ribs combo
The verified combo listing is Sirloin 6oz + Ribs at $22.99, described as juicy sirloin with fall-off-the-bone ribs. It is the same steak plated with a rib portion, and it still includes two sides and the roll basket.
The math is the point: about six dollars over the solo sirloin buys a whole second protein, and ribs ordered separately cost considerably more than that gap. The catch is doneness. Combo steaks are the ones most likely to come out a stage over, so cut into the steak before you start on the ribs.
How to order a 6oz sirloin well
Order it medium-rare or medium and say so clearly. A ¾-inch lean steak has no fat reserve and no thickness to hide behind, so every stage past medium costs you noticeably more moisture than it would on a thicker cut.
- Doneness: well-done on a 6oz sirloin is a dry steak, and that is a portion-size problem, not a kitchen problem.
- Sides: pick one starch and one vegetable. Steak fries plus a loaded potato is two of the same thing.
- Toppings: sauteed mushrooms or onions suit a lean sirloin. Melted cheese buries it.
- Rolls: free and unlimited for dine-in, and they arrive first. Clearing the basket is how a small steak ends up feeling smaller.
- Takeout: a thin steak keeps cooking in a hot to-go box. Order one stage under what you would in the dining room.
Is the 6oz worth it, or should you size up?
The 6oz sirloin is worth it as the cheapest full steak dinner on the menu, though rarely the best plate on it. Whether to size up depends on whether you want a bigger steak or simply more food.
| Order | Price | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 6oz sirloin | ~$16.99 | Cheapest hand-cut steak; fine if you use both sides |
| 8oz sirloin | Varies | Best upgrade for more steak; thicker, holds medium-rare better |
| 6oz sirloin + ribs | $22.99 | Best upgrade if you want more food; a second protein for roughly six dollars |
| 6oz Dallas Filet | ~$26.99 | Same weight, far more tender, ten dollars more |
Short version: eat the 6oz when budget is the constraint, take the ribs combo when appetite is, and take the filet when texture is. Sizing up to the 8oz mainly buys you thickness, which is a cooking advantage more than a portion one.
Where this page can be wrong
This is an independent guide with no connection to Texas Roadhouse and no access to any store’s register. Three things drift. Prices first: the $22.99 combo listing and the solo 6oz figure were checked against location menus in July 2026, and regional pricing swings both by 10-15%.
Second, availability: sirloin sizes above 8oz are not carried everywhere, and combo plates are occasionally dropped from smaller menus. Third, calories. The 250-calorie figure covers the steak alone, and portion variance on a hand-cut steak is real. For anything that matters medically or financially, confirm with your location or the official app rather than any third-party page.
6oz sirloin FAQ
How much is a 6oz sirloin at Texas Roadhouse?
Around $16.99 for the steak on its own and $22.99 for the verified Sirloin 6oz + Ribs combo. Both include two sides and unlimited rolls. Prices are set by market and vary about 10-15% by region, so check your location’s menu in the official app.
Is a 6oz sirloin enough food for one person?
For most adults, yes, because the steak comes with two sides and a basket of rolls. On its own, six ounces raw is roughly four and a half to five ounces cooked, which is a light portion if you skip the sides or eat large.
How many calories are in the 6oz sirloin?
About 250 calories for the steak alone. Sides, rolls with cinnamon butter, and toppings are all extra and can easily triple the meal total. Full nutrition is printed on in-store menus and posted on the official Texas Roadhouse site.
What doneness should I order a 6oz sirloin?
Medium-rare or medium. At roughly three-quarters of an inch thick with very little internal fat, a 6oz sirloin dries out quickly past medium. If you prefer well-done beef, order a thicker cut or a sauced entree instead.
Is 6oz the raw or cooked weight?
Raw. Steakhouse menus quote pre-cooked weight across the industry, so a 6oz sirloin plates at roughly four and a half to five ounces after grilling. That is normal and not a short portion.
What comes with the 6oz sirloin?
Your choice of two sides plus unlimited fresh-baked rolls with cinnamon butter for dine-in orders. Steak toppings such as mushrooms, onions, or cheese are priced separately and are not part of the base listing.
Should I get the 6oz sirloin or the sirloin and ribs combo?
Take the combo if you are genuinely hungry. At $22.99 it adds a full rib portion for roughly six dollars over the solo steak, which is cheaper than upgrading the steak size and far cheaper than ordering ribs separately.
Is the 6oz sirloin the cheapest steak on the menu?
It is the cheapest of the hand-cut steaks. Chopped-steak entrees like the Road Kill cost less, but those are ground beef under gravy rather than a cut steak, so they are not a like-for-like comparison.
