Salads & Sides
Made-from-scratch salads and the a-la-carte side dishes that come with every entree — plus the premium sidekicks worth the upgrade.
What’s on the Texas Roadhouse Salads & Sides Menu
This Texas Roadhouse salads sides menu overview starts with the fact that every hand-cut steak, rack of ribs and country dinner comes with two made-from-scratch sides included, so the sides menu matters just as much as the entree itself. The standard side list runs from simple steamed vegetables to a fully loaded baked potato, and two of them ride along with almost any dinner at no extra charge. For general nutrition background on vegetables and produce, see the USDA MyPlate guidelines.
Salads sit in a slightly different lane — the House Salad and Caesar Salad are available as a starter, a side swap, or a light meal on their own, and both are made in-house rather than pre-bagged.
Which Sides Are Free With Your Entree
Most dinners include a choice of two standard sides at no extra cost — think mashed potatoes, green beans, steak fries, seasoned rice or the seasonal vegetable. Premium options like the Caesar salad, chili, mac & cheese or a Sidekick usually carry a small upcharge over the standard picks.
Best Sides for Loading Up
The baked potato is the one guests customize most, typically topped with butter, sour cream, cheese and bacon for a few dollars more. Mashed potatoes and mac & cheese are the other two comfort-food picks that pair especially well with ribs or a steak.
Lighter Side & Salad Options
Steamed vegetables, steamed broccoli, green beans and the seasonal fresh vegetable sit at the low end of the calorie range, and a house salad without heavy dressing is one of the lightest starters on the whole menu.
