I've had a lot of requests for this one -- the Keto Texas Roadhouse Guide!
With monstrous slabs of meat and dishes loaded with sugar and butter, it's no wonder the food at Texas Roadhouse is delicious.
With that being said, I was shocked to find that they also had such a good amount of low carb options!
Overview
Pretty standard steakhouse affair. Stick to meats, salads and low carb veggies with butter.
Most meat is naturally low carb, but be mindful of the calories. The high fat content in meat makes it easy to overeat if not careful.
Overall, Texas Roadhouse is a great spot for anyone, including those of us following a low carb diet.

Where is your favorite places to dine out on the Keto diet?

Hi I actually work at a TR, and the carbs are all from the steak seasoning and steak brush butter! They have a lot of gluten in them, so when people want gluten friendly, we always keep them off. Not a big deal either, they're glad to do it! You can ask for a side of regular whipped butter instead (1/2 butter 1/2 margarine) for almost 0 carbs! Hope that helps!
Dom Geracia
That is great to know! Thanks for the info.
Brian Dickens
That’s good to know! I was wondering why the bone in rib-eye had 20g of carbs!!
robin
Carmen
why does the fresh veggies have so many carbs, they don't naturally.
Melissa Costa
Does the Ribeye really have 20g of carbs???
Dom Geracia
It does, surprisingly! Must be a marinade or seasoning. Also keep in mind that's for the 20oz ribeye!
Carmen
The seasoning and seasoned steak butter have gluten, you can order them without and get a side of regular butter instead!
Charlee K
I love their sirloin. I don't see ti on your list- or did I miss it?
J James
Where in the world are all those carbs coming from on the meats???
Dom Geracia
I'm thinking that it's from a spice blend or marinade that contains sugar 🙁
