Texas Roadhouse SidesAll 14 Priced, With Calories
Two come free with every entree, and every one of them costs the same $3.53 if you want another. So the choice is not about money. It is about 530 calories.
Here is the thing most people never notice about the sides list. Every standard side on it carries the same price, near enough, so when the server asks which two you want, there is no cheaper answer and no dearer one. Nothing on the bill changes.
What does change is the plate. Green Beans and Applesauce put 210 calories next to your steak. Baked Potato and Steak Fries put 740. That is 530 calories decided by two words, at no cost either way, and it is a bigger swing than most people get from choosing a different entree.

Three Worth Knowing Properly
Most of the list is what it sounds like. Three are not, and they are the three that decide whether your two free sides were a good use of a free thing.
Green Beans, 100 calories
The lightest thing on the list by a clear margin, and the only side where taking two of it still leaves you under what one Baked Potato costs you.
They come cooked down with onion rather than served plain, which is why they taste like something and why they are not the diet option people assume they are avoiding. At 100 they are still the cheapest calorie decision on the menu.
If you are ordering a 12oz steak and want the plate to stay sensible, this is the side that does the work. Pair it with Applesauce and your two free sides come to 210 calories total, which is less than a single Baked Potato and Steak Fries would have been.
Baked Potato, 380 calories
The most ordered side in the building and the heaviest one on the list. Those two facts are not a coincidence: it arrives split, salted and buttered, and it eats like part of the meal rather than a thing on the edge of the plate.
380 is the plain number, and plain is not how most people order it. Sour cream, cheese and bacon are the usual additions, and each one moves that figure before the steak has even arrived. If the calorie count matters to you, this is the single decision on the page that matters most.
Worth ordering anyway if you are hungry. Just know that taking it twice, which people do when they cannot decide, puts 760 on the plate for free, and free was never the same thing as small.
Texas Red Chili, and why it costs more
The one side that breaks the flat pricing. Everything else on the standard list averages $3.53; the chili runs about $4.06, and it is the only place on this page where picking one side over another actually changes the bill.
It is Texas red, which means no beans. That is not an omission, it is the style, and it is the thing people from outside Texas notice first. Cheddar and diced raw onion go on top.
Ordered as a cup it sits at 240 calories and as a bowl at 280, so the jump in size costs less than the jump in price suggests. It also works as a starter rather than a side, and at a couple of dollars under most things on the appetizer list that is the cheaper way into the same idea.
The Ones That Cost More
A few things on the sides board are not standard sides. Swap one in and you pay the difference rather than the full price.
| Item | Calories | Price | Over a standard side |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mac & Cheese | 310 | $4.52 | +$0.99 |
| House Salad | 230 | $4.99 | +$1.46 |
| Caesar Salad | 440 | $4.99 | +$1.46 |
| Grilled Shrimp Sidekick | 270 | $8.03 | +$4.50 |
| Sidekick of Ribs | 550 | $10.07 | +$6.54 |
Which Two to Pick
If you are watching the number, Green Beans and Applesauce are the answer and it is not close. Together they are lighter than one Baked Potato.
If you are not, take one starch and one vegetable rather than two of either. Two potatoes in different shapes is the most common order at this restaurant and the least interesting plate you can build from a free list.
And do the salad swap if you were going to order a salad anyway. About a dollar and a half over a standard side is a better price than the salad carries on its own.
One thing worth remembering before any of this: the rolls are free and they keep coming. Two baskets in and the sides stop mattering, which is worth knowing before you build the perfect plate.
Sides are two of the reasons a Texas Roadhouse entree price is closer to a whole dinner than it looks. The full list is on the menu prices page, and the cheapest way to get an entree with both sides attached is the Early Dine menu on weekday afternoons. Feeding a table instead? The family packs come with two large sides for four people.
