Texas Roadhouse Desserts: Prices, Calories and Which to Order
Four desserts, three of them priced identically, and a calorie range from 310 to 1,110. The menu gives you no way to tell them apart on anything but description, so here are the numbers.
| Dessert | Price | Calories | Serves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vanilla Ice Cream | $6.99 | 310 | 1 |
| Strawberry Cheesecake | $7.99 | 680 | 1 to 2 |
| Big Ol’ Brownie | $6.99 | 740 | 2 to 3 |
| Granny Apple Classic | $6.99 | 1,110 | 3 to 4 |
Price tells you nothing here. Vanilla ice cream, the brownie and the apple dessert all cost $6.99 and span 800 calories between them. If you are choosing on the menu alone, you have no way to know that.
The One That Surprises People
Granny Apple Classic is 1,110 calories. That is more than a 16oz Bone-In Ribeye at 820, more than a 23oz Porterhouse at 750, and nearly three times the 6oz sirloin.
It is also the largest portion, genuinely built for a table to share. Split four ways it is 280 each, which is less than the ice cream. Eaten alone it is a second dinner.
If You Want Something Light
Vanilla ice cream at 310 is less than half of anything else on the list and costs the same as the brownie. If you have had a full meal and want a small finish, this is the only dessert here that behaves like one.
Everything else on this menu is designed for sharing, whether or not it arrives with extra spoons.
Dessert in the Context of the Meal
A 6oz sirloin with green beans is about 580 calories. Here is what each dessert does to that evening.
| Add this dessert | Evening total |
|---|---|
| Nothing | 580 |
| Vanilla Ice Cream | 890 |
| Strawberry Cheesecake | 1,260 |
| Big Ol’ Brownie | 1,320 |
| Granny Apple Classic | 1,690 |
None of that is an argument against dessert. It is an argument for knowing which one you are picking, and for asking for extra spoons.
