Texas Roadhouse filet on the menu is the Dallas Filet, a center-cut tenderloin steak. The 6 oz version lists around $26.99 and 270 calories at most locations, with larger 8 oz and 11 oz cuts priced higher. Two sides included.
What the Texas Roadhouse filet actually is
The filet is the Dallas Filet, cut from the beef tenderloin and hand-cut in-house rather than portioned off-site. It is the leanest and most tender steak on the board, seasoned with the house rub and cooked over an open grill. It carries the least fat of any steak they serve.
Tenderloin is a muscle that does almost no work, so it has very little connective tissue and almost no marbling. That is why it cuts with a butter knife and why it tastes milder than a ribeye. If you want beefy flavor, this is not the cut. If you want texture, it is the best one on the menu.

Filet prices by size
The 6 oz Dallas Filet was listed at $26.99 on the location menus we checked in July 2026. Larger cuts scale up from there, and the exact figure moves with region. Coastal and metro stores commonly run above the national midpoint.
| Size | Typical menu price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 6 oz Dallas Filet | $26.99 (verified) | Most common starting size; the one most people order |
| 8 oz Dallas Filet | Roughly $30-$34 | Offered at most stores; confirm on your local menu |
| 11 oz Dallas Filet | Roughly $36-$42 | Not carried everywhere; call ahead if you want it |
| Filet with add-on | Base price plus about $2-$4 | Bacon wrap, blue cheese, or sauce upcharges vary |
Only the 6 oz figure is verified from menu listings. Treat the other rows as bands, not quotes. Texas Roadhouse prices menus locally, so two stores forty minutes apart can differ by several dollars on the same cut. The reliable check is pulling up your specific store’s menu in the official app or calling and asking for the current Dallas Filet price by size.
Calories and nutrition
The 6 oz filet lists at 270 calories for the steak by itself. That makes it one of the lowest-calorie entrees in the steak section, because tenderloin carries so little fat. Your sides and rolls are what actually move the total.
| Component | Approximate calories |
|---|---|
| 6 oz Dallas Filet | 270 (listed) |
| Each roll with cinnamon butter | Around 230 per roll, and they are unlimited |
| Vegetable side (green beans, fresh veg) | Low, typically well under 150 |
| Loaded potato or mac and cheese | High, often several hundred each |
Larger filet sizes scale roughly with weight, so an 8 oz lands near 360 and an 11 oz near 500 for the steak alone. Those are estimates from the per-ounce math, not printed figures. Texas Roadhouse publishes full nutrition data, and the printed or in-app nutrition guide is the number to trust if you are counting closely.
Doneness: how to order it cooked
Order the filet medium rare or medium. Tenderloin has almost no intramuscular fat to keep it moist, so every step past medium dries it out faster than it would a ribeye. Medium well and well done are where people end up disappointed with this cut.
General reference temperatures for a grilled steak:
| Doneness | Internal temp | How it eats on a filet |
|---|---|---|
| Rare | About 120-125°F | Cool red center, very soft |
| Medium rare | About 130-135°F | Best balance for tenderloin |
| Medium | About 135-145°F | Still juicy, safe pick if red bothers you |
| Medium well | About 145-155°F | Noticeably drier on this cut |
| Well done | 155°F and up | Firm; consider the sirloin instead at this level |
Texas Roadhouse shows its own doneness chart on the table or menu, and the kitchen cooks to that card. If your steak comes back wrong, send it back before you have eaten half of it. Staff will re-fire it, and a thin filet re-fires quickly.
Toppings, add-ons and what comes with it
Every hand-cut steak includes two sides, and dine-in guests get unlimited fresh-baked rolls with honey cinnamon butter at no charge. Sides list around $2.99 each a la carte, so the two included sides are a real part of the value.
Common upgrades on the filet:
- Bacon wrap. The classic pairing. Adds fat back to a lean cut, which is exactly what tenderloin lacks.
- Sauteed mushrooms and onions. Cheap, and they carry more flavor than the steak itself does.
- Jack cheese or blue cheese crumbles. Blue cheese in particular stands up well to a mild cut.
- Sauce on the side. Ask for peppercorn or steak sauce on the side rather than poured, so you can taste the beef first.
Side pairings that work: a baked sweet potato or fresh vegetables if you want to keep the plate light, steak fries or loaded mashed potatoes if you do not. Add-on availability and pricing differ by store, so ask your server rather than assuming an upcharge from another location applies.
Is the filet worth it vs the sirloin and ribeye?
The filet is the most expensive steak per ounce on the menu and the mildest in flavor. It is worth it if tenderness is what you are paying for. If you want flavor for less money, the 6 oz hand-cut sirloin at about $16.99 is the better buy.
Put plainly:
- Filet vs sirloin. The 6 oz sirloin lists near $16.99 and 250 calories. That is roughly $10 less for the same weight. The sirloin is chewier and beefier. If you cook steak at home and like it, you will probably prefer the sirloin.
- Filet vs ribeye. The ribeye is fatty and loud, the filet is lean and quiet. Ribeye wins on taste, filet wins on texture. Neither wins outright.
- Filet vs the sirloin and ribs combo. If you are optimizing for food volume per dollar, the combo plates near $22.99 give you more plate than a 6 oz filet does.
Order the filet when it is a special occasion, when you dislike chewing through gristle, or when you are ordering for someone who does not eat steak often. Skip it if you measure a steak dinner by how much beef flavor you got.
Ordering tips most people miss
Go at early dine hours if your store runs them, usually weekday afternoons, when a smaller steak may appear at a reduced price with a side. Availability of early dine pricing is location-specific and not every store participates.
Two more things worth knowing. Filet travels worse than most steaks for takeout, because carryover heat in a closed container pushes a medium rare toward medium during the drive; order it one step under if you are taking it home. And the filet is the cut most likely to be cut smaller than you expect visually, since tenderloin is thick and narrow rather than wide, so a 6 oz filet looks smaller on the plate than a 6 oz sirloin even though it weighs the same.
Where this page can be wrong
This is an independent guide, not the restaurant. We do not set prices, run the kitchen, or have access to internal menu systems. The only figure here we verified against printed listings is the 6 oz Dallas Filet at $26.99 with 270 calories.
Everything presented as a range is a range on purpose. Texas Roadhouse prices by market, and 8 oz and 11 oz figures, add-on upcharges, and early dine pricing all shift by location and can change without notice. Some stores do not carry every filet size. To confirm anything on this page, check your store’s menu in the official Texas Roadhouse app or call the location directly and ask for the current price and available sizes.
