Sirloin steak at Texas Roadhouse is the hand-cut center-cut sirloin, the chain’s leanest and cheapest steak. Our verified listing shows the 6 oz at $16.99 and 250 calories, with larger 8 oz and 11 oz cuts costing more. Every sirloin includes two sides.
What the sirloin actually is (full spec)
The Texas Roadhouse sirloin is a center-cut top sirloin, hand-cut in-house daily rather than shipped in pre-portioned, then seasoned and grilled over an open flame. It sits at the bottom of the steak price ladder because sirloin is a lean, low-fat muscle.
Lean is the whole story. Sirloin has very little marbling compared with a ribeye, so it delivers beef flavor and chew instead of buttery richness, and it punishes overcooking harder than any other steak on the menu.

Sirloin sizes and prices
The 6 oz hand-cut sirloin is $16.99 on the menus we verified, and it is the cheapest full steak dinner in the building. The 8 oz and 11 oz cuts step up from there, but Texas Roadhouse does not publish one national price list, so your store’s numbers will differ.
Regional pricing is real and it is not small. Coastal metros run 10-15% above the numbers below; smaller inland markets sit at or under them. Treat the larger cuts as ranges, not quotes.
| Size | Typical price | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| 6 oz sirloin | $16.99 | Verified on location listings |
| 8 oz sirloin | Roughly $19-$22 | Range, varies by market |
| 11 oz sirloin | Roughly $23-$27 | Range, varies by market |
| 6 oz sirloin + ribs combo | $22.99 | Verified on location listings |
| Add a side beyond the two included | $2.99 | Verified |
| Load a baked or sweet potato | +$1.29 | Verified |
To confirm your own number in under a minute, open the Texas Roadhouse app or site, set your specific location, and read the steak page there. Third-party delivery menus are usually marked up 15-25% over the in-store price, so never use those as your baseline.
Calories and nutrition
The 6 oz sirloin is listed at 250 calories, which is the steak by itself with no sides, no butter and no loaded toppings. That makes it the lightest real steak entree on the menu and the number most people quote incorrectly.
The plate is where calories arrive. Two sides, the free rolls with cinnamon butter and any butter finish can easily triple the total, so add each side individually rather than trusting one entree figure.
| Component | Calories |
|---|---|
| 6 oz sirloin (verified) | 250 |
| One roll with cinnamon butter | ~230 per roll, and they are unlimited |
| Two sides | Printed on the in-store menu; varies enormously between green beans and loaded potatoes |
Side calorie counts are printed on the physical menu and in the app. Use those, because side recipes change more often than steak specs.
How to order it: doneness, seasoning, toppings
Order a sirloin medium rare or medium. Because the cut is lean, the window between juicy and dry is narrow, and a medium well sirloin loses most of what you paid for. If you normally eat steak well done, the ribeye or the chopped steak is a better fit.
A few things worth knowing before you order:
- Ask for it a notch under. Steaks carry over on the way to the table. Ordering medium rare when you want medium is the standard fix.
- Seasoning is not optional by default. The house seasoning is applied before grilling. If you are watching sodium, request light seasoning or no seasoning when you order, not after.
- Toppings cost extra. Sauteed onions, sauteed mushrooms, jack cheese and butter-style finishes are add-ons at most stores, usually a dollar or two each.
- Send it back if it is wrong. An undercooked steak takes two minutes to fix. An overcooked one cannot be fixed, which is another reason to order under.
A lean steak wants a rich side. Loaded baked potato or mac and cheese balances it better than steak fries.
What comes with it
Every sirloin dinner includes two sides at no extra charge, chosen from the standard list, plus unlimited fresh-baked rolls with honey cinnamon butter for dine-in guests. Sides ordered beyond the included two run $2.99 each.
That inclusion is the main reason the sirloin reads as good value: at $16.99 you get a hand-cut steak, two sides and bread. A salad counts as one of the two at most locations, which quietly makes it the best-value pick on the list.
Is the sirloin worth it vs the filet and ribeye?
The sirloin is worth it if you want the cheapest way into a real hand-cut steak dinner and you eat steak at medium or under. It is the wrong pick if you want tenderness above all, which is what the filet is for, or fat-driven flavor, which is the ribeye’s job.
Against the verified 6 oz Dallas Filet at $26.99 and 270 calories, the sirloin saves you $10 at nearly identical calories, and you trade tenderness for chew. Against the Road Kill chopped steak, which our data shows at $12.99-$14.49 with onions, mushrooms and jack cheese, the sirloin costs more but gives you a whole muscle cut instead of ground chopped steak. One sizing note: going 6 oz to 11 oz gives you more of the same lean cut, not a better steak, so if the 6 oz feels small the sirloin-and-ribs combo is the smarter spend.
| Item | Verified price | Why you’d pick it |
|---|---|---|
| 6 oz hand-cut sirloin | $16.99 | Cheapest real steak; lean; two sides included |
| 6 oz Dallas Filet | $26.99 | Most tender cut on the menu, worth it for texture |
| Road Kill chopped steak | $12.99-$14.49 | Cheapest beef entree, smothered and forgiving |
| 6 oz sirloin + ribs | $22.99 | Steak plus half a rack for six dollars more |
Where this page can be wrong
We are an independent guide and have no affiliation with Texas Roadhouse. Prices, sizes and calorie counts here reflect location menus we checked in July 2026, and Texas Roadhouse prices by market rather than nationally, so your store can differ.
The 6 oz price and calorie figure are values we verified; the 8 oz and 11 oz numbers are ranges precisely because we could not verify a single national figure for them. Which sizes appear also varies, and topping charges are set locally. Confirm against your own store’s page in the app before you count on a number.
Sirloin steak FAQ
How much is a sirloin steak at Texas Roadhouse?
The 6 oz hand-cut sirloin is $16.99 on the listings we verified. The 8 oz typically runs about $19-$22 and the 11 oz about $23-$27, though pricing is set by market and can swing 10-15% either way. Check your location’s page in the app for the exact figure.
What kind of sirloin does Texas Roadhouse use?
It is a center-cut top sirloin, hand-cut in the restaurant rather than delivered pre-portioned, then seasoned and grilled over an open flame. Top sirloin is lean with minimal marbling, which is why it is the cheapest steak on the menu and why doneness matters so much.
What sizes does the sirloin come in?
Most locations offer 6 oz, 8 oz and 11 oz. The 6 oz is the standard entry size and appears in combo plates such as the sirloin with ribs at $22.99. Smaller sirloin portions sometimes show up on lunch and early-dine listings at participating stores.
How many calories are in the Texas Roadhouse sirloin?
The 6 oz sirloin is listed at 250 calories for the steak alone. That figure excludes your two sides, the rolls with cinnamon butter and any butter or topping finish, all of which can easily add several hundred calories to the plate.
Does the sirloin come with sides?
Yes. Every sirloin dinner includes two sides of your choice at no extra charge, plus unlimited fresh-baked rolls with honey cinnamon butter for dine-in. Additional sides beyond the included two are $2.99, and loading a potato adds $1.29.
What doneness should I order a sirloin at?
Medium rare or medium. Sirloin is lean, so there is little fat to keep it moist past medium, and medium well or well done tends to come out dry and chewy. Ordering one notch under what you want compensates for carry-over cooking on the way to the table.
Is the sirloin better than the filet?
Not tenderer, no. The 6 oz Dallas Filet at $26.99 is the most tender cut on the menu; the sirloin trades that texture for about $10 in savings and a beefier chew. If tenderness is your priority, pay for the filet. If value is, the sirloin wins outright.
