Texas Roadhouse desserts are a short three-item list priced $6.99 to $7.99: Granny’s Apple Classic at $6.99 (1,110 calories), Strawberry Cheesecake at $7.99 (800 calories) and the Big Ol’ Brownie at $7.99 (1,290 calories). All three are built to share.
What the dessert menu actually is
The Texas Roadhouse dessert menu is three items, not a page: Granny’s Apple Classic, Strawberry Cheesecake and the Big Ol’ Brownie. Every one is a plated, oversized portion meant for two or more people, and all three come with vanilla ice cream.
That short list is deliberate. The kitchen is built around steaks, ribs and rolls, so dessert is a finishing item rather than a section anyone expects you to browse. The upside for you is that there is nothing to decode: the difference between the three is apple, cheesecake or chocolate, and the portion sizes are close enough that you are really picking a flavor.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| What it is | Three plated shareable desserts: baked apple dessert, strawberry-topped cheesecake, warm fudge brownie |
| Size / portion | Oversized single plate; realistically serves 2-3 adults after a full entree |
| Price | $6.99-$7.99 per dessert |
| Calories | 800-1,290 per dessert (full plate, as served) |
| What’s included | Vanilla ice cream on each; caramel and cinnamon on the apple, strawberry topping on the cheesecake, fudge on the brownie |
| Category | Dessert (ordered separately; not part of any entree’s two free sides) |
Texas Roadhouse dessert prices
Dessert prices sit between $6.99 and $7.99. Granny’s Apple Classic is the cheapest at $6.99; Strawberry Cheesecake and the Big Ol’ Brownie both list at $7.99. Nothing on the dessert menu is included with an entree, so each one is a straight add-on to your check.
| Dessert | Price | Calories | Cost per 2 people |
|---|---|---|---|
| Granny’s Apple Classic | $6.99 | 1,110 | $3.50 each |
| Strawberry Cheesecake | $7.99 | 800 | $4.00 each |
| Big Ol’ Brownie | $7.99 | 1,290 | $4.00 each |
Regional pricing moves these numbers. High-cost metro locations tend to run at the top of the 10-15% spread, so a $7.99 brownie can print at $8.49 or higher in coastal cities, while smaller inland markets often hold the listed price. Some stores also run the brownie a dollar cheaper on their in-store menu than the national listing suggests. Check your specific store’s menu in the Texas Roadhouse app before you assume a number, since that pulls the live price for the location you pick.
Calories and nutrition
Texas Roadhouse desserts run 800 to 1,290 calories each as served. The Big Ol’ Brownie is the heaviest at 1,290, Granny’s Apple Classic sits at 1,110, and Strawberry Cheesecake is the lightest of the three at 800 calories.
Those totals are for the full plate including ice cream, which is where most of the gap comes from. Split three ways, a brownie lands around 430 calories a person, which is a normal dessert. Ordered solo after a steak and two sides, it is not.
If you want the lowest number on the dessert menu, the cheesecake wins by roughly 300 calories over the apple and 490 over the brownie. If you want to cut further, ask for the dessert without ice cream. Servers do this routinely and it removes a meaningful chunk. Full nutrition details are posted on the printed menu and on the brand’s own nutrition page, and stores will bring the allergen book to your table if you ask.
How to order dessert well
Order one dessert for every two or three people at the table, ask for extra spoons, and put the order in when your entrees are cleared rather than at the start. The plates are large, and ordering one each after a full meal almost always ends with food left behind.
A few things worth knowing:
- Timing matters. The brownie and apple dessert are served warm. If you order dessert at the same time as your steak, you risk it arriving early and cooling on the table.
- Ice cream can be removed or moved. Ask for it on the side if you want the warm and cold contrast to last longer, or skip it entirely to cut calories.
- Remember the free rolls. Dine-in rolls with honey cinnamon butter are unlimited and free, and most tables have already gone through several by dessert time. That is a real reason to under-order here.
- To-go works, with a caveat. You can order dessert on a takeout ticket. Melted ice cream is the usual complaint, so if the drive is more than ten minutes, ask whether they can pack the ice cream separately. Some stores can, some cannot.
- Birthdays. Locations handle celebrations differently; some do a saddle ride and a dessert, some do neither. Call ahead rather than expecting a free item.
Which dessert is worth it
Granny’s Apple Classic at $6.99 is the best value on the dessert menu: it is the cheapest item, the portion is as large as the others, and it splits cleanly. The Big Ol’ Brownie is the better order if chocolate is the point, and the cheesecake is the pick if you want the lightest option.
Compared against the rest of the menu, dessert is a modest add-on. A $7.99 brownie next to a $12.99 Cactus Blossom appetizer is roughly 40% cheaper for a comparable shareable plate, which is why a lot of tables skip the appetizer and finish with dessert instead. Against a $6.99 dessert, a $2.99 side of mac and cheese or a $2.99 soft drink with free refills is obviously cheaper, but neither is doing the same job.
The honest comparison is against nothing at all. After a hand-cut sirloin, two sides and a basket of rolls, most people are full. If your table is genuinely still hungry, one shared dessert at $7 for three people is fair. If you are ordering out of habit, it is $7 of leftovers.
Seasonal, kids and store-to-store differences
The three-item core list is consistent nationally, but individual locations occasionally add a seasonal dessert or a limited-time item, and some markets carry a smaller kids’ dessert or ice cream scoop. There is no reliable national kids’ dessert price.
Availability is also a real factor late in the evening. Desserts are prepped in limited quantity at some stores, and a busy Friday can run one item out before close. If you are arriving late and dessert is the reason, mention it when you are seated so the kitchen can hold one.
Franchise and international locations run different menus entirely. Anything you read on a US-focused page, including this one, should be treated as a starting point outside the US.
Where this page can be wrong
This is an independent guide, not the restaurant. We do not have access to internal pricing systems, so every number here comes from menus verified in July 2026 and is subject to change without notice.
Specific things to confirm yourself: the exact price at your store (regional variance is 10-15%, sometimes more in high-cost metros), whether a seasonal dessert is running, whether the brownie is priced at $6.99 or $7.99 on your local menu, and any allergen question. Calorie counts are the published figures for the standard plate; asking for no ice cream or extra topping changes them. The fastest confirmation is the Texas Roadhouse app with your location selected, or a phone call to the store.
