Best Texas Roadhouse Menu Items, Ranked (Best Value Picks)

With more than 190 items on the menu, ordering at Texas Roadhouse can be hard. We ranked the best Texas Roadhouse menu items by flavor, portion and value for money. Prices below are typical U.S. prices and update automatically.

1. Ft. Worth Ribeye, Best Steak Overall

The well-marbled 12oz Ft. Worth Ribeye ($24.99) is the steak most regulars recommend: juicy, full of flavor and forgiving even at medium. If you only order one steak, make it this one.

2. 6oz Hand-Cut Sirloin, Best Value Item

At $14.49 with two sides, the Hand-Cut Sirloin is the best value on the menu, a real steak dinner for about the price of a burger. Add a sidekick of ribs or grilled shrimp for a few dollars to build your own combo.

3. Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs

The half slab ($19.99) is enough for most people; the full slab ($25.99) is a serious meal. Prefer both? The Sirloin & Ribs combo ($22.99) is one of the best deals on the menu.

4. Cactus Blossom, Best Starter to Share

A whole fried onion with Cajun dipping sauce for $8.99. It has about 2250 calories, so it is made for sharing between four.

5. Dallas Filet, Best for a Special Occasion

The Dallas Filet ($23.99) is the most tender steak on the menu and surprisingly light at about 270 (6oz) calories.

6. Chicken Critters, Best for Non-Steak Eaters

Hand-breaded chicken tenders with honey mustard, ranch or BBQ sauce ($15.99). Picky eaters and kids love them.

7. Rolls With Cinnamon Butter, Best Free Item

They are free and refilled when you dine in, and you can buy extra rolls ($2.49) and butter ($1.99) to go. Make them at home with our copycat rolls recipe.
