Texas Roadhouse nutrition ranges from a 250-calorie 6 oz Hand-Cut Sirloin to a 2,250-calorie Cactus Blossom appetizer. Entree calories are printed on chain menus by law, and the full nutrition and allergen guide is published on the official Texas Roadhouse website.
What are the calories at Texas Roadhouse?
Texas Roadhouse entree calories run from about 190 for a kids grilled chicken to 1,510 for a 12 oz Ribeye and Ribs combo. Steaks are surprisingly low on their own; appetizers, ribs, and desserts carry the heaviest numbers on the menu.
The single most useful thing to understand: the number printed next to a steak is the steak alone. A 6 oz sirloin at 250 calories becomes a 900-calorie plate once you add two sides, and closer to 1,200 once rolls and cinnamon butter land on the table.

What nutrition facts does Texas Roadhouse actually publish?
Texas Roadhouse publishes calories on its printed and online menus, and a fuller nutrition guide covering fat, sodium, carbohydrates, and protein, plus a separate allergen chart for the major allergens. Menu calorie labeling is a federal requirement for large chains.
What that means in practice: calorie counts are easy to find and reasonably reliable, while sodium and carbohydrate figures require pulling the full guide. Sodium is the number most people underestimate at a steakhouse. Seasoned steaks, seasoned rice, gravies, BBQ sauce, and the bread all carry salt, and a single dinner can approach or exceed a full day’s typical sodium target. If sodium matters to you medically, ask for your steak and sides unseasoned and skip the gravy.
There is no official Texas Roadhouse points or macro-tracking app. Any third-party app entry is someone’s estimate unless it was copied from the official guide, and app entries for “Texas Roadhouse steak” frequently include butter, sides, or a different portion size than the one you ordered.
Where do you get the Texas Roadhouse nutrition PDF free?
The nutrition and allergen PDFs are published free on texasroadhouse.com, usually linked from the menu or the site footer. We link to the official documents rather than hosting copies, because reposted PDFs go stale the moment a recipe or supplier changes.
A few practical notes on using it. Download it fresh rather than relying on a saved copy, since combos, seasonal items, and regional menu variations get revised. If you are ordering for someone with an allergy, ask in the restaurant for the current allergen guide instead of trusting a printout from months ago. And be aware that the PDF describes standard preparation only; substitutions, extra butter, or a location cooking green beans with pork will not be reflected there.
If you cannot find the file, the fastest route is to ask a manager in person. Locations keep allergen and nutrition references on hand and are used to the request.
What is the lowest-calorie meal at Texas Roadhouse?
The lowest-calorie real meal is a 6 oz Hand-Cut Sirloin at 250 calories with green beans and a plain baked potato or house salad, landing somewhere around 500 to 700 calories total depending on toppings and dressing.
Steak is genuinely the smart order here. Lean cuts cook without breading, and the portion sizes at the small end are modest. The traps are everything that arrives around the steak.
| Lower-calorie pick | Calories | Price | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand-Cut Sirloin, 6 oz | 250 | $16.99 | Leanest full-size steak on the menu |
| Herb Crusted Chicken | 260 | $18.49 | Grilled, not breaded |
| Dallas Filet, 6 oz | 270 | $26.99 | Lean cut, small portion |
| Grilled BBQ Chicken | 300 | $16.99 | Ask for sauce on the side |
| Hand-Cut Sirloin, 8 oz | 340 | $18.99 | Two more ounces for 90 calories |
| Grilled Salmon, 5 oz | 410 | $15.99 | Best non-red-meat option |
| Grilled Pork Chops, single | 440 | $15.99 | Single beats double by 290 |
Two habits save the most calories: ask for the rolls to be held or brought with the meal instead of before it, and order sauces and dressings on the side. A single roll is roughly 230 calories and about 300 to 330 with cinnamon butter, so three of them while you wait is effectively a second entree.
What is low carb at Texas Roadhouse?
Texas Roadhouse is one of the easier chains for low carb eating. Any hand-cut steak, grilled chicken, grilled salmon, or grilled shrimp is close to zero carbohydrate on its own, and swapping starchy sides for green beans, fresh vegetables, or a house salad keeps a meal well under 20 grams.
What to skip: the rolls, at roughly 30 grams of refined carbohydrate each, plus baked and sweet potatoes, seasoned rice, corn, applesauce, mac and cheese, breaded or country fried items, BBQ sauce, sweet tea, and cocktails. The steak seasoning blend may contain sugar, so ask for your steak plain if you are counting strictly. Croutons come standard on salads unless you say otherwise.
A workable low carb order: 8 oz sirloin (340 calories) plain, green beans, house salad with no croutons and oil and vinegar or ranch on the side. Ask whether green beans are cooked with pork at your location if that matters to you.
How many calories are in Texas Roadhouse sides?
Sides at Texas Roadhouse cost $2.99 each and generally fall in the 120 to 500 calorie range, with steamed vegetables and green beans at the low end and loaded potatoes, mac and cheese, and fries at the high end. Exact per-side figures are in the official nutrition guide.
We are deliberately not publishing invented per-side numbers here. What we can tell you is how they rank in practice, and that the preparation is what moves the figure. A baked potato is modest until butter, sour cream, cheese, and bacon go on it, at which point it can double or triple. Sides are also frequently finished with butter by default, so “plain” has to be requested.
| Side | Relative calorie band | Ordering note |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh vegetables | Lowest | Ask for no butter |
| Green beans | Lower | Often cooked with pork or bacon; ask |
| House salad, no croutons | Lower | Dressing on the side is the whole ballgame |
| Baked potato, plain | Low to mid | Toppings can double it |
| Applesauce | Low to mid | Sugar, not fat |
| Sweet potato, plain | Mid | Marshmallow and caramel add a lot |
| Seasoned rice | Mid | Higher sodium than it looks |
| Buttered corn | Mid | Butter is standard |
| Steak fries | Higher | Shared fryer with breaded items |
| Mac and cheese | Higher | Kids portion is 280 calories |
| Loaded baked potato | Highest | Approaches entree calories |
How do you build a meal and total the calories?
Add the entree figure, roughly 230 calories per roll (300 to 330 with cinnamon butter), and 120 to 500 per side. That three-part sum is the number that matters, and it is usually two to three times the calorie count printed next to the entree.
| Meal build | Entree | Rolls + sides | Realistic total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 oz sirloin, no roll, two lighter sides | 250 | ~240–400 | ~490–650 |
| 6 oz sirloin, 1 roll with butter, two sides | 250 | ~540–1,000 | ~790–1,250 |
| Grilled salmon 5 oz, 2 rolls with butter, two sides | 410 | ~840–1,300 | ~1,250–1,710 |
| Half slab ribs, 2 rolls with butter, fries + corn | 900 | ~1,200–1,600 | ~2,100–2,500 |
| Shared Cactus Blossom (quarter) + 12 oz ribeye + 2 rolls + two sides | 960 | ~1,400–1,900 | ~2,360–2,860 |
Rolls are free, unlimited, and baked every few minutes, which is exactly why they are the hardest variable to control. Cinnamon butter is whipped butter with honey, cinnamon, and powdered sugar at roughly 110 calories per serving.
How accurate are these numbers?
Every calorie and price figure on this page comes from Texas Roadhouse menu and nutrition information, verified July 2026. This is an independent guide. We are not affiliated with Texas Roadhouse, and the official nutrition and allergen documents on texasroadhouse.com are always the authority if anything here conflicts.
Why figures move: portion weights are pre-cook, hand-cut steaks vary from plate to plate, sides are finished differently by location, and recipes and suppliers change. Prices differ by market and are shown for comparison only. Where we do not have a verified figure, such as individual side calories, we have given a range instead of inventing a number.
On allergens, be clear-eyed. Texas Roadhouse has no dedicated allergen-free fryers and no separate allergen-free prep areas, so cross-contact is possible on any item, including things that look safe by ingredient list. If you have a serious allergy or celiac disease, tell your server and ask for the manager, request the current in-store allergen guide, and ask for plain unseasoned preparation. Nothing on this page should be read as a promise that a dish is safe for a severe allergy. This is a consumer menu guide, not medical or dietary advice; if you have a medical dietary requirement, confirm details with the restaurant and your own clinician.
Frequently asked questions
How many calories are in a Texas Roadhouse steak?
From 250 calories for a 6 oz Hand-Cut Sirloin up to 1,180 for a Country Fried Sirloin. Common cuts: Dallas Filet 6 oz at 270, 8 oz sirloin at 340, 12 oz New York Strip at 640, 12 oz Ft. Worth Ribeye at 960, and the 23 oz Porterhouse T-Bone at 1,040. Those figures are the steak alone, without sides or rolls.
What is the highest-calorie item at Texas Roadhouse?
The Cactus Blossom at 2,250 calories, which is more than a full slab of ribs at 1,450. It is intended to be shared. Tater Skins (1,320), Big Ol’ Brownie (1,290), and Cheese Fries (1,240) are the next tier.
Does Texas Roadhouse have a nutrition PDF I can download free?
Yes. Texas Roadhouse publishes free nutrition and allergen PDFs on texasroadhouse.com. We link to the official files rather than hosting copies, since reposted versions go out of date when recipes change. Download a fresh copy each time, or ask a manager in the restaurant for the current guide.
How many calories are in Texas Roadhouse rolls?
About 230 calories per roll plain, and roughly 300 to 330 with cinnamon butter. The butter alone is around 110 calories per serving. Three rolls with butter comes to roughly 900 to 1,000 calories, which is more than most entrees on the menu.
What is the healthiest thing to order at Texas Roadhouse?
A 6 oz Hand-Cut Sirloin (250 calories), Herb Crusted Chicken (260), Grilled BBQ Chicken (300 with sauce on the side), or 5 oz Grilled Salmon (410), paired with green beans, fresh vegetables, or a plain baked potato. Skipping the pre-meal rolls saves more than the choice of entree usually does.
Can you eat low carb or keto at Texas Roadhouse?
Yes, fairly easily. Steaks, grilled chicken, salmon, and shrimp are near zero carbohydrate on their own. Swap the potato for green beans, fresh vegetables, or a salad without croutons, skip the rolls at about 30 grams each, and avoid BBQ sauce and sweet tea. Ask for steaks plain if you are strict, since the seasoning blend may contain sugar.
How many calories are Texas Roadhouse sides?
Roughly 120 to 500 calories each at $2.99 per side. Fresh vegetables, green beans, and a plain baked potato sit at the low end; loaded potatoes, mac and cheese, and fries sit at the high end. Exact per-side figures are in the official nutrition guide, and preparation (butter, toppings) moves them significantly.
Does Texas Roadhouse print calories on the menu?
Yes. Large restaurant chains are required to disclose calorie information on menus and menu boards, so entree calories appear on the printed menu. Fuller detail on fat, sodium, carbohydrates, protein, and allergens lives in the separate nutrition guide on the official website.
