The Steakhouse Filet Salad at Texas Roadhouse is an entrée salad topped with sliced filet medallions over mixed greens with cheese, tomato, red onion, egg and croutons. Expect roughly $17.99 to $22.99 depending on location, ordered to your preferred doneness.
What the Steakhouse Filet Salad actually is
It is a full-size dinner salad built on a bed of mixed greens and topped with sliced filet, cooked to the temperature you request. The rest of the bowl follows the house salad build: shredded cheese, tomato, red onion, hard-boiled egg and croutons, plus your dressing choice.
The distinction worth understanding is that this is the same tender center-cut used for the Dallas Filet, sliced thin and fanned across the greens rather than served as one whole steak. You are buying filet quality in a smaller, sliced portion. Some locations plate it warm off the grill, some let it rest a minute longer, which is why texture varies slightly store to store.
| What it is | Entrée salad topped with sliced filet medallions |
|---|---|
| Cut used | Center-cut tenderloin (same cut family as the Dallas Filet) |
| Steak portion | Typically a 6 oz filet, sliced; confirm with your server, portioning is not printed |
| Cooked to order | Yes — rare through well done |
| Greens base | Mixed greens, full entrée size |
| Standard toppings | Shredded cheese, tomato, red onion, hard-boiled egg, croutons |
| Dressing | Choice, served on the side on request |
| Typical price | About $17.99–$22.99; varies by market |
| Menu category | Salads (entrée salads, not starters) |
| Free sides included | No — salads do not carry the two-sides steak entrée deal |
| Rolls included | Yes, fresh-baked rolls with cinnamon butter come to the table |
Price and what lands on the check
Most locations price the Steakhouse Filet Salad between $17.99 and $22.99. Texas Roadhouse does not publish one national price, so a downtown or airport-adjacent store can run several dollars above a small-market location for an identical bowl.
Use the sibling steaks as your sanity check. If your local Hand-Cut Sirloin 6oz is $16.99 and the 6oz Dallas Filet is $26.99, the filet salad almost always slots between them, closer to the middle. If a store quotes you well outside that band, it is worth asking whether the portion or build changed.
| Item | Typical price | Free sides? |
|---|---|---|
| Steakhouse Filet Salad | ~$17.99–$22.99 | No |
| Dallas Filet 6oz (dinner) | $26.99 | Two sides |
| Hand-Cut Sirloin 6oz (dinner) | $16.99 | Two sides |
| Grilled BBQ Chicken | $16.99 | Two sides |
| Extra dressing / add avocado | Small upcharge, varies | — |
To confirm before you go, pull your specific store’s page on the official site or open the app and set your location. Third-party delivery menus run 15-25% above dine-in and should never be used as your price reference.
Calories and nutrition
Texas Roadhouse does not publish a full calorie panel for every salad build, and the number swings hard on dressing. The filet itself is lean — the 6oz Dallas Filet is listed at 270 calories — so the steak is rarely what makes this bowl heavy.
The variables are dressing, cheese, croutons and egg. A ranch or blue cheese ladle can add several hundred calories on its own, which is often more than the steak contributes. If you want the leanest version of this plate, that is the lever to pull, not the protein.
| Component | Impact | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sliced filet | Low | Lean cut; 6oz filet listed at 270 cal as a dinner steak |
| Mixed greens, tomato, onion | Negligible | Base of the bowl |
| Shredded cheese + egg | Moderate | Easy to request light or omit |
| Croutons | Moderate | Skip to cut carbs meaningfully |
| Dressing | High and variable | Biggest single swing; order on the side |
| Rolls + cinnamon butter | ~230 cal per roll | Arrive free at the table, counted separately |
For exact figures, ask for the printed nutrition sheet in-store or check the nutrition section of the official site, which is updated more often than aggregator databases.
How to order it well
Order the filet medium-rare or medium. Sliced steak keeps cooking on warm greens, so a bowl requested medium-well or well done often arrives noticeably firmer than the same doneness would on a plated steak. Half a step under your usual preference is the reliable move here.
Three more things that improve the plate:
- Dressing on the side. Warm steak plus pre-tossed dressing wilts the greens fast, especially on takeout.
- Ask for the steak on top, not tossed. Standard at most stores, but worth confirming so the slices stay warm and separate.
- Pick a dressing that fits beef. Blue cheese and ranch are the safe pairings. Sweeter dressings fight the char and seasoning on the filet.
If you are splitting the table, one filet salad plus an order of rolls is a workable light meal for two people who are not especially hungry, though it is priced as a single entrée.
Does it come with sides and rolls?
No free sides. Entrée salads sit in the salad category, not the steak category, so the two-included-sides structure that applies to a sirloin or filet dinner does not apply here. Anything extra is ordered and charged separately.
Rolls are different. Fresh-baked rolls with honey cinnamon butter come to every dine-in table at no charge and are refillable, so you are not paying for bread alongside the salad. On takeout orders, rolls are usually included but quantity depends on the store.
Filet salad vs. a filet dinner vs. the chicken salads
The clearest way to judge this item is against the Dallas Filet dinner. That plate costs roughly $4 to $9 more and includes two sides plus a whole uncut steak. The salad trades those sides and the steak presentation for greens and a lower ticket.
| Option | Protein | Sides | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steakhouse Filet Salad | Sliced filet | None included | Lighter meal, still want the premium cut |
| Dallas Filet 6oz dinner | Whole 6oz filet | Two included | Full steakhouse meal, better food-per-dollar |
| Chicken Critter Salad | Breaded tenders | None included | Cheaper, heavier, family-friendly |
| Grilled chicken salad | Grilled breast | None included | Leanest option, lowest price of the three salads |
Against the other salads, you are paying a real premium for tenderloin. If the goal is simply protein on greens, a grilled chicken salad does that job for meaningfully less.
Is it worth the money?
It is worth it if you specifically want filet and a lighter plate. It is poor value if you are hungry, because the Dallas Filet dinner delivers a full steak plus two sides for a modest amount more.
The people who consistently rate this well are diners who do not want a starch-heavy meal, split-check groups where one person wants steak without the full dinner commitment, and anyone eating at a steakhouse by someone else’s choice. If you are optimizing calories per dollar, it is not the play.
Availability, lunch portions and takeout
The Steakhouse Filet Salad is a regular dinner-menu item at most locations, though salad lineups are one of the areas Texas Roadhouse rotates by region. Some stores run a smaller lunch-size salad, some do not.
It travels less well than most items. Warm sliced steak on cold greens loses quality within about fifteen minutes, so if you are ordering to go, request the dressing separately and eat it soon after pickup. For a takeout order that holds up better, a plated steak with sides is the safer choice.
Where this page is uncertain
This is an independent guide, not an official Texas Roadhouse resource, and several details here carry real uncertainty. We flag them rather than guessing.
- Exact price. No single national price exists. The range given reflects typical market spread; your store’s app listing is the only authoritative number.
- Steak weight. The sliced portion is not printed on menus at most locations. Ask your server if it matters to you.
- Calorie total. A complete panel for this specific build is not consistently published, and dressing alone moves it hundreds of calories.
- Menu availability. Salad offerings and lunch portions vary by region and change without notice.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the Steakhouse Filet Salad at Texas Roadhouse?
Most locations charge roughly $17.99 to $22.99. There is no national price, so it typically sits between the Hand-Cut Sirloin 6oz and the Dallas Filet 6oz at your specific store. Check the official app with your location set for an exact figure.
What comes on the Steakhouse Filet Salad?
Sliced filet over mixed greens with shredded cheese, tomato, red onion, hard-boiled egg and croutons, plus your choice of dressing. Fresh-baked rolls with cinnamon butter come to the table free, but no sides are included.
Can you order the filet salad steak cooked to temperature?
Yes. The filet is cooked to order from rare through well done. Because sliced steak keeps cooking on warm greens, ordering half a step under your usual preference generally gives a better result than ordering it exactly as you would a plated steak.
Does the Steakhouse Filet Salad come with two free sides?
No. The two-included-sides structure applies to steak and dinner entrées, not salads. Any side you add is charged separately. Rolls with honey cinnamon butter still arrive free and refillable for dine-in tables.
How many calories are in the filet salad?
Texas Roadhouse does not consistently publish a full panel for this build. The filet is lean, with the 6oz Dallas Filet listed at 270 calories. Dressing, cheese and croutons drive most of the total, so ordering dressing on the side matters more than the steak.
Is the filet salad better value than the Dallas Filet dinner?
Not on volume. The Dallas Filet 6oz runs about $26.99 and includes a whole steak plus two sides. The salad saves roughly $4 to $9 but gives you sliced steak and greens only. Choose it for a lighter meal, not for value.
Is the Steakhouse Filet Salad available at every location?
It is a regular menu item at most stores, but salad lineups and lunch-size portions rotate by region. If you are driving out specifically for it, call ahead or confirm on the official site with your location selected.
Does the filet salad travel well for takeout?
Less well than most items. Warm sliced steak on cold greens degrades within about fifteen minutes. Ask for dressing packed separately and eat it soon after pickup, or order a plated steak with sides instead.
