6 oz sirloin texas roadhouse is the Hand-Cut Sirloin in its smallest size, listed at $16.99 and 250 calories on the menus we checked. It is USDA Choice, hand-cut in-house, seasoned and grilled, and served with two sides.
What the 6 oz sirloin actually is
The 6 oz sirloin is the entry size of the Hand-Cut Sirloin, a lean top-sirloin steak cut in the restaurant rather than delivered pre-portioned. It carries the same seasoning and grill treatment as the bigger steaks, just in a smaller portion.
Sirloin sits at the value end of the lineup because it is a working muscle: less marbling than a ribeye, less butter-tender than a filet, but more beef flavor per bite than most people expect. At 6 ounces it is genuinely small, roughly palm-sized, which is why it reads as a light entree.

6 oz sirloin price and the other sirloin sizes
The 6 oz sirloin was listed at $16.99 on the location menus we verified in July 2026. Larger sirloins step up in price by size, but the exact increments differ by market, so treat anything beyond the 6 oz figure as a range rather than a quote.
| Size | Price | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| 6 oz sirloin | $16.99 | Verified on menus checked |
| 8 oz sirloin | Typically a few dollars above the 6 oz | Varies by location |
| 11 oz sirloin | Mid-range within the steak section | Varies by location |
| 16 oz sirloin | Top of the sirloin range | Varies by location |
Big-city locations run higher than suburban ones, and that 10-15% spread is enough to push a $16.99 steak past $18. To check your own store, read the posted menu on its location page or call and ask for current sirloin prices by size.
Calories and nutrition
The 6 oz sirloin is listed at 250 calories, which covers the steak by itself. That number is the leanest entree figure in the steak section and it is the reason this cut shows up on so many “what can I eat here” lists.
The steak will not define your meal totals; two sides and the rolls do most of that work. A loaded baked potato or the fries can add several hundred calories each, while green beans, steamed vegetables or a salad with lighter dressing keep the plate near the steak’s own number. For exact side figures, ask for the printed nutrition guide in the restaurant, since side counts get revised more often than steak counts.
What comes with it: two sides and the rolls
The 6 oz sirloin includes two sides in the $16.99 price, plus the complimentary rolls and cinnamon butter every table gets. You are not paying extra to make it a full plate, which is most of why the price holds up.
Side choices generally include baked potato, mashed potatoes, steak fries, green beans, buttered corn, steamed vegetables, applesauce, house or Caesar salad, and rotating seasonal options. Loaded and premium versions usually carry an upcharge, so ask if you are pricing the meal precisely. For a small steak, pair one starch with one vegetable; two starches bury the 6 oz portion.
How to order it so it comes out right
Order the 6 oz sirloin medium rare or medium. Lean cuts lose moisture fast, and a small steak crosses temperature zones quicker than a thick one, so anything past medium well on a 6 oz sirloin tends to come out dry and chewy.
A few things worth asking for at the table:
- Light seasoning. The house seasoning is assertive. If you are watching sodium or prefer to taste the beef, request it lighter or plain.
- Toppers. Sauteed onions, sauteed mushrooms, cheese or a peppercorn-style sauce are usually available as add-ons. On a lean cut, mushrooms and butter genuinely help.
- Rest it. Taking it home? Ask them to hold it a moment before boxing. Steak boxed straight off the grill steams itself.
- Send it back if it’s wrong. An overcooked 6 oz sirloin cannot be rescued with sauce.
Is the 6 oz sirloin worth it?
For a steak plus two sides plus rolls at around $17, the 6 oz sirloin is one of the better value plates in the building. The catch is portion: 6 ounces is small, and people who are actually hungry usually wish they had gone up a size.
It suits a modest meal, a calorie-conscious order, or a table that is also getting an appetizer. It works badly as a big-night-out steak. If the gap between the 6 oz and 8 oz is only a few dollars at your location, the 8 oz is the better cost-per-ounce buy.
6 oz sirloin vs Dallas Filet vs Road Kill
At the same 6 oz weight, the Dallas Filet was listed at $26.99 and 270 calories against the sirloin’s $16.99 and 250. That is roughly ten dollars for tenderness, and it is the single most useful comparison on the steak page.
| Item | Price | Calories | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 oz Hand-Cut Sirloin | $16.99 | 250 | Lean, beefy, best value per dollar |
| Dallas Filet 6 oz | $26.99 | 270 | Maximum tenderness, milder flavor |
| Road Kill (chopped steak, 10 oz) | $12.99 | Varies | Cheapest beef plate, onions, mushrooms, jack cheese |
Pick the sirloin for flavor at a fair price, the filet if texture beats beefiness, and the Road Kill for the cheapest large plate of beef. A Sirloin 6 oz plus ribs combo was also listed at $22.99.
Lunch, Early Dine and combo versions
The 6 oz sirloin appears in more than one place on the menu, and the version you get depends on when and how you order. Lunch menus, Early Dine pricing and combo plates all handle it differently by location.
Some restaurants run a reduced-price sirloin during weekday lunch or Early Dine windows, occasionally at a smaller portion than the dinner listing. Combo plates pair the 6 oz sirloin with ribs, shrimp or chicken at a higher combined price. Neither is universal and Early Dine hours differ store to store, so confirm before planning around them.
What we can’t confirm
This is an independent guide, not the restaurant. We verify listings against location menus and label anything we could not confirm.
Prices are market-dependent, so $16.99 is a checked reference point rather than a guarantee at your address, and the 8, 11 and 16 oz sirloins vary too widely to publish as single numbers. Side calorie counts, upcharges and premium side availability change without notice. Lunch and Early Dine sirloin pricing is not offered everywhere. The 250-calorie figure covers the steak only. For anything you are counting on, call your location or check the official menu for that address.
FAQ
How much is the 6 oz sirloin at Texas Roadhouse?
It was listed at $16.99 on the location menus we verified in July 2026. Regional pricing runs about 10-15% either side of that, so metro locations may charge more. Check your store’s posted menu for the exact figure.
How many calories are in the 6 oz sirloin?
250 calories for the steak on its own. Sides, toppers and the complimentary rolls with cinnamon butter are additional and often add more calories than the steak itself.
Does the 6 oz sirloin come with sides?
Yes. The price includes two sides, plus the rolls and cinnamon butter that come to every table. A few premium or loaded sides carry an upcharge, so ask when you order.
Is 6 oz enough steak for one person?
It is a light portion. With two sides and rolls most people finish satisfied, but anyone arriving genuinely hungry will do better with the 8 oz or larger, especially since the price gap per size is usually small.
What temperature should I order a 6 oz sirloin?
Medium rare or medium. Sirloin is lean and a 6 oz cut is thin enough to overcook quickly, so medium well and well done tend to come out dry.
Is the sirloin the cheapest steak on the menu?
The 6 oz sirloin is the cheapest steak in the hand-cut section. The Road Kill chopped steak, listed at $12.99, is cheaper but is chopped steak rather than a whole cut.
What’s the difference between the 6 oz sirloin and the Dallas Filet?
Both are 6 oz. The sirloin is leaner, beefier and around $16.99; the Dallas Filet is far more tender, milder in flavor and listed at $26.99. You are paying for texture, not size.
Can I get the 6 oz sirloin for takeout?
Yes, sirloin is available through takeout and curbside at most locations. Order it a shade under your usual doneness, since the steak keeps cooking in the box on the way home.
