Texas Roadhouse steak is the hand-cut beef lineup the chain is built on, running from a 6oz sirloin at $16.99 to the Dallas Filet at $26.99. Every steak dinner includes two sides and free rolls. Steak Kabob runs $19.99.
What a Texas Roadhouse steak actually is
A Texas Roadhouse steak is beef the chain markets as USDA Choice, cut in-house at each location rather than portioned at a plant, seasoned with the house blend and grilled over an open flame. The chain displays raw cuts in a front-of-house meat case at most stores.
That meat case is the tell. Where a store runs its display, you can point at the exact steak you want before it hits the grill. The kitchen sears hot, so a thin sirloin picks up more char per ounce than a thick filet does.
Item spec: Steak Kabob (verified listing)
| What it is | Marinated sirloin chunks skewered with vegetables, served over seasoned rice |
|---|---|
| Size / portion | Skewer portion; sirloin pieces plus onion and pepper, served on a rice bed |
| Price | $19.99 |
| Calories | Not printed on the listing we verified; ask for the in-store nutrition sheet |
| What’s included | Seasoned rice under the skewer, plus your sides per that store’s kabob rules, plus free rolls with cinnamon butter |
| Category | Steaks / hand-cut entrees |
The kabob is the odd one out: because rice is built into the plate, some locations count it toward your side allowance and some do not. Ask when you order.
Steak prices by cut
Verified steak prices start at $16.99 for the 6oz Hand-Cut Sirloin and top out around $26.99 for the 6oz Dallas Filet, with the Steak Kabob at $19.99 and a sirloin-and-ribs combo at $22.99. Larger weights of each cut cost more.
| Steak | Verified price |
|---|---|
| Hand-Cut Sirloin, 6oz | $16.99 |
| Steak Kabob | $19.99 |
| 6oz Sirloin + Ribs combo | $22.99 |
| Dallas Filet, 6oz | $26.99 |
| Road Kill (10oz chopped steak) | $12.99 |
| Ribeye, New York Strip, Porterhouse, Prime Rib | Priced per store; expect roughly $22-$40 depending on cut and weight |
Two things move these numbers: region, since the same 6oz sirloin can swing 10-15% between a Midwest store and a coastal metro, and weight, since each size step adds several dollars. The figures above are entry weights. For cuts not on the verified list, check your location on the official app rather than trusting a national number.
Cuts and sizes explained
Texas Roadhouse sells six steak families: sirloin, filet, ribeye, strip, porterhouse and prime rib, plus the chopped-steak Road Kill. Each comes in two or three weights, so one cut name can appear at three prices.
- Sirloin: lean value play, cheapest real steak on the board. Good beef flavor, easy to overcook.
- Dallas Filet: the tenderloin. Softest texture, mildest flavor, highest price per ounce.
- Ribeye: most internal fat, so the most flavor and the most forgiveness if it runs past your order.
- New York Strip: firmer chew than ribeye, solid beef flavor, fat cap along one edge.
- Porterhouse: strip and filet on one bone, the big-appetite option.
- Prime rib: slow-roasted rather than grilled, and not stocked at every store every day.
Calories and nutrition
Steak calories on the menu are for the meat alone, not the plate. The 6oz Hand-Cut Sirloin lists 250 calories and the 6oz Dallas Filet lists 270. Sides, butter, rolls and loaded toppings are counted separately and add up fast.
| Item | Listed calories |
|---|---|
| Hand-Cut Sirloin, 6oz | 250 |
| Dallas Filet, 6oz | 270 |
| Road Kill, chopped steak plate | 760 |
| One fresh-baked roll | ~230 (before butter) |
A 250-calorie steak sounds light until you add a loaded baked potato, two rolls with cinnamon butter and a soft drink. If you are tracking, use the printed menu and in-store nutrition guide, since portion specs change without notice.
Ordering doneness the right way
Texas Roadhouse cooks to five standard temperatures and prints a doneness guide on the menu: rare, medium rare, medium, medium well and well done. Order one step under your target on thin cuts, because carryover heat keeps cooking the steak on the plate.
| Doneness | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Rare | Cool red center | Thick filet, ribeye |
| Medium rare | Warm red center | Most cuts; the safe default |
| Medium | Hot pink center | Ribeye, strip |
| Medium well | Slight pink | Smothered cuts with gravy |
| Well done | No pink | Ribeye only, if you must |
A 6oz sirloin is thin, so medium well on that cut lands close to dry; ask for medium rare instead. If you want well done and still want it edible, order the ribeye, since its fat keeps the meat from going to leather. If a steak arrives wrong, send it back before you eat half of it. Grilled onions and mushrooms are free on request at most stores, though some charge, so confirm with your server.
What comes with a steak dinner
Every steak entree includes two sides, and every table gets unlimited fresh-baked rolls with honey cinnamon butter at no charge for dine-in. Sides run $2.99 each a la carte, so the two included sides are roughly $6 of value built into the price.
Side options include baked potato, sweet potato, mashed potatoes, steak fries, seasoned rice, green beans, buttered corn, fresh vegetables, applesauce, mac and cheese, and house or Caesar salad. Loading a potato adds about $1.29.
The pairing that works: one starch, one green. A loaded baked potato plus green beans balances the plate better than fries plus mac and cheese. If you are splitting an appetizer, take the salad and skip the second starch.
Is it worth it, and which cut to pick
The 6oz Hand-Cut Sirloin at $16.99 is the strongest value on the steak board: a hand-cut steak, two sides and unlimited rolls under $20 before drinks and tax. The Dallas Filet at $26.99 is $10 more for texture, not flavor.
Against the Dallas Filet, the sirloin gives you more beef taste per bite and the filet gives you a softer chew; if you like a steak you barely have to work at, pay the difference. Against Road Kill at $12.99, you trade steak texture for a 10oz chopped patty smothered in onions, mushrooms and jack cheese: more food, less money, different experience.
Where it stops being worth it is the larger weights. Stepping a sirloin up several ounces often costs more per ounce than ordering the next cut, so check the bigger sirloin against the entry ribeye before you upsize.
Where this page can be wrong
This is an independent guide, not the official Texas Roadhouse site, and we have no access to internal pricing systems. The verified prices here come from location menu listings checked in July 2026 and will drift.
Prices are set locally, so your store can sit 10-15% above or below these figures. Prime rib, porterhouse and some larger weights are not stocked everywhere or every day. Calorie figures cover the steak alone and change with recipes and portion specs. Free add-on policies and whether the kabob’s rice counts as a side are both store-level calls. For anything that affects your bill, check your location’s menu in the official app or call the store.
