About These Figures

How We Estimate Calories

Texas Roadhouse does not publish a single official nutrition PDF for every market, and recipes can vary slightly by location. The calorie figures on this site are approximate reference values compiled by comparing publicly available nutrition guides and menu information, then rounding to a realistic range rather than a false-precision single number.

These figures are not medical or dietary advice. If you are managing a medical condition or have a food allergy, ask your server for current in-restaurant nutrition information before ordering, rather than relying on any third-party website, including this one. For general dietary background, the USDA MyPlate guidelines are a useful reference alongside this nutrition calories guide.

A Quick Guide

Lower- And Higher-Calorie Choices

General patterns across the menu, based on how dishes are prepared and portioned.

Lower-Calorie Choices

Grilled chicken and salmon plates, dinner salads without heavy dressing, single 6oz sirloin cuts, and the Texas Red Chili Cup tend to sit lowest on the calorie scale. Use this nutrition calories guide as a starting point when planning a lighter order.

Higher-Calorie Items

Shareable appetizers like the Cactus Blossom, family-sized rib packs, and loaded combo plates carry the highest calorie counts — most are designed to be shared or split.

Sides, Bread & Drinks Add Up

The two included sides, the fresh-baked rolls with cinnamon butter, and any bar drinks or margaritas can add several hundred calories beyond the entree itself — often more than the entree.

Dietary Notes

Allergens & Dietary Accommodations

Texas Roadhouse does not operate a dedicated allergen-free or gluten-free kitchen, so cross-contact with common allergens is possible in any dish. Several menu items, such as grilled proteins served without breading, can typically be prepared without gluten-containing ingredients, but recipes and preparation methods can change.

If you have a food allergy or are avoiding gluten, tell your server before ordering and ask them to check current ingredient and allergen information for your location — do not rely on this or any third-party site for allergen decisions.

Nutrition & Calories — Common Questions

Does Texas Roadhouse publish official calorie counts?

Availability varies by market and can change. This site provides approximate reference ranges only; ask your server or check official channels for current in-restaurant nutrition information.

What is the lowest-calorie entree?

Lean grilled proteins and a single 6oz sirloin cut tend to be the lightest full entrees, though exact figures depend on preparation. See the Hand-Cut Steaks and Chicken category pages for item-level detail.

Are the rolls really that many calories?

A single fresh-baked roll is roughly 227 calories before butter, and most guests eat more than one, so the bread basket can be a meaningful part of a total meal calorie count.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

There is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen, but some items can typically be prepared without gluten-containing ingredients. Always confirm with your server, since recipes and cross-contact risk can vary by location.

Where can I see calories for a specific item?

Each menu category page (Steaks, Ribs, Chicken, Appetizers, and so on) lists approximate calories next to the item and its typical price.
