Big ol brownie Texas Roadhouse is the chain’s warm fudge brownie dessert, listed at about $6.99. It arrives hot in a skillet-style dish with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, built as a shareable portion for two to four people.
What the Big Ol’ Brownie actually is
The Big Ol’ Brownie is a thick, fudge-style chocolate brownie served warm, topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. It is plated as a single large dessert meant for sharing rather than a personal-size square, which is where most of the $6.99 value comes from.
Two things separate it from a standard restaurant brownie. First, it’s served hot, so the ice cream starts melting into the top within a minute of hitting the table. Second, the brownie itself is dense and underbaked in the center by design, closer to a fudge slab than a cake. If you like a dry, cakey brownie with a crumb, this is not that dessert.

Big Ol’ Brownie price
The Big Ol’ Brownie is listed at $6.99 on the menus we checked in July 2026. Texas Roadhouse prices are set at the franchise and market level, so expect roughly 10-15% swing above or below that figure depending on your state and metro.
Higher-cost markets (California, the New York metro, Hawaii, airport-adjacent and resort locations) tend to sit at the top of that band. Smaller Midwest and Southern markets often land right at or slightly under the listed price. The dessert is not usually discounted, and it isn’t part of the Early Dine value menu.
| Line item | Typical |
|---|---|
| Big Ol’ Brownie (listed) | $6.99 |
| Realistic range by market | roughly $5.99-$8.49 |
| Cost per person if split 3 ways | about $2.35 |
| Extra scoop of ice cream | Small upcharge, varies by store |
Calories and nutrition
Texas Roadhouse does not print calorie counts for the Big Ol’ Brownie on every location menu, and we won’t publish a number we can’t verify. Treat it as one of the highest-calorie items on the dessert list and ask your server for the store’s nutrition sheet if it matters.
What you can reason about without a printed figure: the dessert combines a dense fudge brownie, a scoop of full-fat vanilla ice cream, and chocolate sauce. That’s three high-sugar, high-fat components in one dish, and the portion is sized for sharing. Splitting it three ways gets you into normal-dessert territory. Eating it solo does not.
To confirm exact numbers, ask for the printed nutrition guide in-store, or check the calorie line inside the Texas Roadhouse app when you add the item to a to-go order. Chains that operate under menu-labeling rules in certain states post calories at the point of sale, so your local menu board may show it even if the paper menu doesn’t. If you have a nut, dairy, egg, gluten, or soy allergy, ask the manager directly — dessert prep shares kitchen surfaces and there is no allergen-free preparation area.
How to order it well
Order the Big Ol’ Brownie at the same time you order your entrée, not after. It’s baked and assembled to order, so putting the ticket in early means it lands warm right as you finish, instead of 15 minutes into an awkward wait.
- Ask for it warmed through. If the center comes out cool, send it back. A cold-center brownie is a kitchen timing miss, not the intended dish.
- Request the ice cream on the side if you’re splitting it and want the brownie to stay warm longer. Some stores will do it, some won’t — it depends on how the kitchen plates.
- Ask for extra plates and forks. Standard for shared desserts, and servers expect it.
- Extra chocolate sauce is usually free or a small charge. Extra ice cream typically carries an upcharge.
- Skip it if you had the full rolls-plus-sides run. Two free sides, unlimited cinnamon-butter rolls, and a full entrée is already a heavy meal. The brownie makes sense when your table shares one.
On pairing: the brownie handles coffee well and fights sweet cocktails. If you’re ordering drinks with dessert, coffee or plain milk beats anything sugary.
Is it worth $6.99?
Yes, if you split it. At roughly $2.35 a head across three people, it’s one of the better dessert-value plays on the menu, and the warm-plus-cold contrast is what people actually come back for. Solo, it’s more dessert than most adults want after a Roadhouse entrée.
The honest downside: consistency varies more than it should. Brownie texture depends on how long it sat and how hot the plate was, so the same item can be excellent at one location and dense-but-lukewarm at another. That’s a kitchen-execution issue, not a recipe issue.
Big Ol’ Brownie vs the other desserts
Texas Roadhouse keeps a short dessert list, and the brownie competes mainly with Granny’s Apple Classic and the cheesecake. All three sit in a similar price band, so the choice is about texture and how many people are sharing.
| Dessert | Best for | Shareable? |
|---|---|---|
| Big Ol’ Brownie | Chocolate, warm-and-cold contrast | Yes, built for it |
| Granny’s Apple Classic | Cinnamon and fruit, less heavy chocolate hit | Yes |
| Strawberry Cheesecake | One person who wants their own dessert | Less so |
If your table is split between chocolate people and fruit people, the brownie and the apple dessert together cover both and still come in under the cost of one entrée at most locations.
Ordering it to go
The Big Ol’ Brownie travels poorly in its plated form. Most locations will pack the brownie and the ice cream separately, which is the right call, but the brownie will have cooled by the time you get home unless you live within a few minutes of the store.
If you’re doing takeout and you want it right, ask whether the store packs the ice cream in a separate cup on ice, and reheat the brownie for 15-20 seconds before serving. Availability on third-party delivery apps varies by location and some stores pull desserts from delivery menus entirely during peak hours.
What we can’t confirm
This is an independent guide, not affiliated with or endorsed by Texas Roadhouse. We verify prices against location menus but cannot guarantee your store matches.
Specifically: the $6.99 price reflects menus checked in July 2026 and is not a national fixed price. Calorie and allergen figures are not published for every location, so we don’t list a number. Plating style, ice cream portion, and whether extra sauce carries a charge are store-level decisions. Dessert availability can also change seasonally. Confirm current price and item availability by calling your location or checking the official Texas Roadhouse app before you order.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the Big Ol’ Brownie at Texas Roadhouse?
It’s listed at about $6.99 on menus checked in July 2026. Expect roughly $5.99 to $8.49 depending on your market, since Texas Roadhouse prices are set locally rather than nationally.
What comes with the Big Ol’ Brownie?
A warm fudge brownie, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and chocolate sauce. It’s served as one large plated dessert with no size options, so what you see on the menu is what arrives.
How many people can share a Big Ol’ Brownie?
Two to four comfortably. It’s portioned as a shared dessert rather than an individual serving, and most tables split it three ways after a full entrée with sides and rolls.
How many calories are in the Big Ol’ Brownie?
Texas Roadhouse doesn’t print calories for this item on every menu, so we don’t publish a figure. Ask your server for the in-store nutrition guide or check the calorie line in the official app.
Is the Big Ol’ Brownie served warm?
Yes. It’s baked and plated to order and should arrive hot, with the ice cream already starting to melt. If the center is cool, that’s a timing miss and worth flagging to your server.
Can you get the Big Ol’ Brownie without ice cream?
Most locations will accommodate it or put the ice cream on the side, but it’s a store-level call and not a listed menu option. Ask when you order rather than assuming.
Is the Big Ol’ Brownie available for takeout?
At most locations, yes, usually packed with the ice cream separated. It travels poorly over long distances, so reheat the brownie briefly before serving if you’re driving more than a few minutes.
Is the Big Ol’ Brownie included in Early Dine or any specials?
No. Desserts are priced separately and aren’t part of the Early Dine value menu. Check current promotions at your location, since offers are set regionally and change through the year.
