Where to buy Texas Roadhouse rolls: the restaurant itself. Most locations sell them to go by the half dozen or dozen at the host stand or over the phone, usually with cinnamon honey butter. They are not a reliable grocery-store item.
What a Texas Roadhouse roll actually is
A Texas Roadhouse roll is a small, soft, slightly sweet yeast dinner roll, baked in-house through the day and served hot in a basket with whipped cinnamon honey butter. Free with dine-in meals; sold separately for takeout.
The sweetness is the whole point. These are closer to a sweet milk-bread roll than a crusty dinner roll, which is why the honey-cinnamon butter works instead of overwhelming them. Each restaurant bakes in batches rather than all at once, so what you buy at 5:30 p.m. is usually a lot fresher than what you buy at 3 p.m. on a slow Tuesday.
| Spec | Detail |

| Sold in | Half dozen (6) or dozen (12) for takeout; unlimited basket with dine-in meals |
| Price | Not printed on every menu; typically a few dollars per half dozen and roughly $5 to $9 per dozen depending on market |
| Calories | Roughly 200 to 230 per roll before butter; the butter adds meaningfully on top |
| What’s included | Cinnamon honey butter, usually one tub per half dozen (ask for extra) |
| Menu category | Bread / sides / add-on, not a listed entrée |
Every place you can actually buy them
There are four dependable channels: walk-in takeout at the host stand, a phoned-in to-go order, the Texas Roadhouse app or website for pickup, and third-party delivery. Catering and family meal packs also include rolls in larger counts.
- Walk up to the To-Go host stand. Fastest option. You do not need to be seated or buying anything else at most locations.
- Call the restaurant directly. Best if you want a large count, because they may need to time a bake for you.
- App or online ordering. Rolls appear as an add-on or side item at most locations, though not every store surfaces them the same way.
- Delivery apps. Available where the location partners with them. Expect markup on the item price plus fees.
- Catering / family packs. Rolls are typically bundled in, which is the cheapest per-roll route for a crowd.
What you cannot do is buy them from a Texas Roadhouse-branded retail counter or bakery, because that does not exist. Every legitimate purchase runs through a restaurant location.
What a dozen rolls costs
Rolls are frequently not printed on the posted menu at all, which is why prices differ so much between stores. Budget a few dollars for a half dozen and mid-to-high single digits for a dozen, and confirm by phone before you drive over.
| Order | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Half dozen (6) | Low single digits in most markets; usually one butter |
| Dozen (12) | Roughly $5 to $9 depending on region and store policy |
| Multiple dozens | Same per-dozen rate; rarely discounted, but call ahead |
| Extra cinnamon butter | Sometimes free, sometimes a small charge per tub |
| Delivery apps | Item price inflated 15-25% plus delivery and service fees |
Because roll pricing is set at a level that varies by market, treat any number you see quoted online, including ours, as a ballpark. One phone call gets you the real figure.
How to order rolls to go without messing it up
Give them a pickup time, ask for the batch closest to that time, and request butter separately from the rolls. Rolls sitting in a sealed bag with warm butter turn soggy within 20 minutes, which is the single most common complaint.
A few specifics that actually matter:
- Order more butter than you think. One tub covers about six rolls if you are generous. Ask for extra when you order rather than at pickup.
- Ask for the bag left open or vented. Trapped steam is what softens the tops.
- Call ahead for anything over two dozen. Large counts can wipe out the basket supply for dine-in guests, so stores appreciate the notice and may schedule a bake.
- Peak hours help. Friday and Saturday dinner means constant baking, so your rolls are more likely to be minutes old.
- Rolls are already free with dine-in. If you are eating there anyway, you only need to pay for the ones you take home.
Can you buy them frozen or at a grocery store?
Not dependably. Texas Roadhouse rolls are a restaurant item baked in-house, and there is no consistent nationwide retail or frozen version you can count on finding in a supermarket freezer aisle. Copycat mixes and lookalike products are a different thing entirely.
You will find plenty of packaged “roadhouse style” rolls, boxed roll mixes and copycat recipe kits sold online and in stores. Some are decent. None of them are the restaurant product, and branding on a package is not proof of a licensing deal. If retail availability ever expands in your area, the restaurant staff will know before a blog does, so ask at the host stand.
Buying unbaked dough directly from a location is also not a standard offering. Some stores may decline outright for food-safety and handling reasons. It never hurts to ask, but do not plan around it.
Calories and nutrition
Expect roughly 200 to 230 calories per plain roll, with the cinnamon honey butter adding a significant amount on top of that. A basket disappears fast, so the realistic damage from an appetizer-stage bread habit is several hundred calories before your entrée arrives.
Texas Roadhouse publishes nutrition information on its own site and in-store materials, and those figures are the ones to trust over any third-party listing including this page. If you are tracking closely, count the butter separately rather than assuming it is folded into the roll number, because it usually is not.
Keeping them good after you get home
Rolls hold well for a day at room temperature in a paper or loosely closed bag. Reheat at around 300 to 325°F for five to seven minutes wrapped in foil, or 10 seconds in a microwave if you accept a slightly chewier texture.
They freeze better than most people expect. Cool them fully, bag them flat with the air pressed out, and they keep for a couple of months. Reheat from frozen in a low oven rather than defrosting first. The cinnamon butter should go in the fridge and come back to room temperature before serving, since cold butter tears a soft roll apart.
Are they worth buying on their own?
Yes, if you are already going for a meal or feeding a group. As a standalone trip they are harder to justify, because a dozen plus a drive competes badly with the bakery two minutes from your house. The value is in the bundling.
Compared with siblings on the menu, rolls are the best-value item there is when you are dining in, since the basket is complimentary and refilled. Ordering a dozen to go costs real money for something you got free at the table an hour earlier, which is worth remembering before you double up. If you are buying for a party, the smarter play is usually a family meal pack or a catering order where rolls are already bundled at a better per-roll rate than buying them loose.
What we can’t promise
This is an independent guide, not Texas Roadhouse. We do not set prices, stock levels or store policy.
Roll pricing is one of the least standardized things on the menu. It is often unprinted, set locally, and inconsistent between two stores in the same metro area. Whether a store will sell you rolls without a food order, how many butters come free, and whether large orders need notice all vary by location and by manager. Availability also depends on the bake schedule at that hour, so a store can genuinely be out for 15 minutes.
To confirm anything on this page, call your specific location or check the official Texas Roadhouse app for your store. That is the only source that reflects your actual price and availability today.
FAQ
Can you buy Texas Roadhouse rolls?
Yes. Most locations sell rolls to go by the half dozen or dozen, typically with cinnamon honey butter included. You usually do not need to order a meal alongside them, though a small number of stores prefer that you do during peak rushes.
Where can you buy Texas Roadhouse rolls?
Only through a Texas Roadhouse location: the To-Go host stand, a phone order, the app or website for pickup, delivery apps where available, or bundled into catering and family meal orders. There is no dependable grocery-store or retail version.
How much is a dozen Texas Roadhouse rolls?
Roughly $5 to $9 in most markets, with a half dozen running a few dollars. Roll pricing is set locally and often is not printed on the menu, so call your location for the exact figure before you go.
Do the rolls come with cinnamon honey butter when you buy them to go?
Almost always, generally one tub per half dozen. Ask for extra butter when you place the order rather than at pickup, since one tub covers about six rolls if you spread it generously.
Can you order rolls without buying a meal?
At most locations, yes, and you can walk up to the To-Go stand for it. Some stores may ask you to wait during a dinner rush if the basket supply for seated guests is tight, so ordering ahead avoids the issue.
Can you buy Texas Roadhouse rolls frozen or unbaked?
Not as a standard offering. Buying raw dough is not something locations normally sell, and there is no reliable frozen retail version. You can freeze baked rolls yourself, which works well for a couple of months.
Does Texas Roadhouse sell rolls in grocery stores?
Not in any consistent nationwide way. Packaged “roadhouse style” rolls and copycat mixes exist, but they are separate products. If retail availability changes in your region, staff at your local restaurant will know first.
How long do the rolls stay fresh?
About a day at room temperature in a loosely closed bag, and a couple of months frozen. Reheat wrapped in foil at 300 to 325°F for five to seven minutes for the closest texture to fresh out of the oven.
