Texas Roadhouse filet mignon is sold under the name Dallas Filet, not “filet mignon.” The 6 oz Dallas Filet runs about $26.99 and 270 calories, comes with two sides and free rolls, and larger cuts cost more.
What the filet mignon actually is
Texas Roadhouse does serve filet mignon, but it is printed on the menu as the Dallas Filet. Same cut of beef: the tenderloin, the muscle that does almost no work, which is why it is the softest steak in the case and the one people order when chewiness is the enemy.
The tenderloin has very little intramuscular fat, so it does not carry the beefy, greasy punch of a ribeye. What it gives you instead is texture. A properly cooked Dallas Filet should cut with the side of a fork. If yours needs sawing, something went wrong at the grill, not with the cut.
Texas Roadhouse cuts steaks in-house daily rather than receiving pre-portioned vacuum packs, which is why thickness can differ a little from one visit to the next even at the same ounce weight. A thicker 6 oz filet takes longer to reach temperature and is more forgiving of an over-eager cook.

Price and sizes
The 6 oz Dallas Filet is listed at $26.99, which is the only filet price we can confirm across menus. Larger filets are priced higher, and every Texas Roadhouse sets its own menu pricing, so treat any single number as a starting point rather than a promise.
Franchise and company stores in high-cost metros routinely price steaks above the figures you see quoted online, and airport-adjacent or resort-area locations tend to sit at the top of the band. The fastest way to get your store’s real number is to open the Texas Roadhouse app or the location’s own page and check its menu, since those reflect store-level pricing rather than a national average.
| Size | Typical price | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| 6 oz Dallas Filet | $26.99 | Verified menu listing |
| 8 oz Dallas Filet | Roughly $30-$34 | Regional range, confirm locally |
| 11 oz Dallas Filet | Roughly $37-$44 | Regional range, confirm locally |
| Filet with shrimp or ribs add-on | Add roughly $5-$9 | Varies by store and add-on |
One thing worth knowing before you order: the filet is the most expensive steak per ounce on the board. You are paying for tenderness, not size. If your goal is the largest plate of beef for the money, the filet is the wrong line on the menu.
Calories and nutrition
The 6 oz Dallas Filet is listed at 270 calories, which makes it one of the lightest entrees at Texas Roadhouse. That number covers the steak alone. Sides, cinnamon butter and rolls are counted separately and they add up fast.
Tenderloin is lean, so most of those 270 calories are protein rather than fat. The realistic total for a filet dinner depends almost entirely on what you put next to it. A house salad or green beans keeps the plate modest. A loaded baked potato, steak fries and three rolls can triple the meal.
| Component | Effect on the meal |
|---|---|
| 6 oz Dallas Filet | 270 calories, the anchor of the plate |
| Two included sides | The single biggest variable; vegetable sides stay light, loaded potatoes and fries do not |
| Rolls with cinnamon butter | Around 230 calories per roll before butter, and they are unlimited |
| Added butter or sauce on the steak | Optional at most stores; ask for it on the side if you are counting |
Full nutrition figures are printed on in-restaurant menus and posted in the chain’s nutrition guide. If a number matters to you medically, read it there rather than trusting any third-party page including this one.
What comes with it
Every hand-cut steak, filet included, comes with two sides of your choice. Dine-in guests also get unlimited fresh-baked rolls with honey cinnamon butter, brought to the table before the food and refilled on request.
Sides that pair well with a lean steak are the ones that bring fat or acid: loaded baked potato, mashed potatoes, or a house salad with a sharp dressing. Seasoned rice and buttered corn are the safe middle. Loading a potato usually carries a small upcharge, commonly around $1.29, which is not always mentioned when you order.
How to order it so it arrives right
Order the filet medium-rare or medium. Tenderloin has almost no fat to keep it moist, so past medium it dries out quickly and you lose the exact quality you paid extra for. Well-done filet is the most expensive mistake on the steak menu.
A few things that reliably improve the plate:
- Say the temperature you want by name and by look. “Medium-rare, warm red center” removes ambiguity between kitchens.
- Ask for it butterflied only if you want it cooked faster, and expect a slightly drier result. Most people should skip this.
- Let it rest. Cutting straight into it at the table dumps juice onto the plate. Ninety seconds helps.
- Sauces and toppings vary by store. Peppercorn sauce, sauteed mushrooms and onions are commonly available as add-ons; availability and price are local, so ask.
- Send it back if it is over. Undercooked can be fixed on the grill in a minute. Overcooked cannot be fixed at all, and staff generally recook it without argument.
Is it worth it vs sirloin and ribeye
The filet is worth it if tenderness is what you are buying. At about $26.99 for 6 oz, it costs roughly $10 more than the 6 oz Hand-Cut Sirloin at $16.99, and the sirloin is the better value per ounce by a wide margin.
Compared side by side: the 6 oz sirloin is listed at 250 calories and is lean, firm and genuinely good for the price, but it has chew. The filet has none. A ribeye sits at the opposite end, marbled and rich, and delivers far more beef flavor than either while costing more than the sirloin and eating heavier than the filet.
| Steak | Price | Why you’d pick it |
|---|---|---|
| Dallas Filet 6 oz | $26.99 | Softest texture on the menu, lightest calorie count, smallest portion |
| Hand-Cut Sirloin 6 oz | $16.99 | Best value steak, leaner and firmer, saves about $10 |
| Ribeye | Higher than sirloin, varies | Most beef flavor thanks to marbling; richer and heavier eating |
Short version: order the filet for a birthday or when you specifically want tender. Order the sirloin when you want steak on a Tuesday.
Filet combos, medallions and add-ons
Many locations offer the filet in combination plates, most commonly paired with grilled shrimp or a half rack of ribs, priced above the steak alone. These combos are not on every menu and the pairings rotate, so check your store’s current listing before planning around one.
Some Texas Roadhouse locations have also run filet medallions, smaller tenderloin pieces served with a sauce, as a limited or regional item. Treat medallions as availability-dependent rather than a standing menu fixture. If you want tenderloin and the medallions are not listed, the Dallas Filet is the reliable order.
Where this page can be wrong
Texas Roadhouse does not publish one national price list, and individual restaurants adjust menus independently. The $26.99 figure for the 6 oz Dallas Filet reflects verified listings, but your store can be higher or lower, and 8 oz and 11 oz pricing is a regional estimate rather than a confirmed number.
Availability of combos, filet medallions, sauces and toppings is set locally and changes without announcement. This is an independent guide with no connection to Texas Roadhouse. Confirm current pricing, sizes and nutrition through the official Texas Roadhouse app, the location’s own menu page, or by calling the restaurant directly before you rely on anything here.
Frequently asked questions
Does Texas Roadhouse have filet mignon?
Yes. It appears on the menu as the Dallas Filet rather than “filet mignon,” but it is the same cut, beef tenderloin, hand-cut in-house and grilled to your requested temperature.
How much is the filet mignon at Texas Roadhouse?
The 6 oz Dallas Filet is listed at about $26.99. Larger 8 oz and 11 oz cuts cost more, and prices differ 10-15% by region, so check your location’s menu in the app for its exact number.
What sizes does the Dallas Filet come in?
Most locations offer 6 oz, 8 oz and 11 oz. The 6 oz is the standard order and the only size with a widely confirmed price. Not every store carries all three sizes.
How many calories are in the Texas Roadhouse filet?
The 6 oz Dallas Filet is listed at 270 calories for the steak by itself. Sides, rolls and cinnamon butter are additional and typically account for most of the meal’s total.
Does the filet come with sides?
Yes. Like all hand-cut steaks it includes two sides of your choice, plus unlimited fresh-baked rolls with honey cinnamon butter for dine-in guests. Loading a potato usually adds a small upcharge.
What temperature should I order a filet at?
Medium-rare or medium. Tenderloin carries very little fat, so cooking past medium dries it out and removes the tenderness that justifies the higher price.
Is the filet better than the sirloin at Texas Roadhouse?
It is more tender, not more flavorful. The 6 oz sirloin at about $16.99 is the better value and has more chew; the filet costs roughly $10 more for a softer texture.
Can I get the filet as a combo with shrimp or ribs?
Many locations offer steak combinations with grilled shrimp or ribs at an added cost, but the pairings and prices are set locally and are not on every menu. Ask your server or check the store listing.
