come on let's go to the Roadhouse everything's bigger in Texas and the portions at Texas
Roadhouse are no exception but watch out here are the 10 worst dishes to order at Texas Roadhouse
what's the verdict no Cactus Blossom give me my Goddamn okay this appetizer's appeal is undeniable
especially when you're just craving something salty and greasy to Chow Down on the answer to
that craving the cactus Blossom a Texas sized onion partially cut to appear like a blooming
flower dipped battered and fried to a golden brown and served with a generous portion of
Cajun horseradish dipping sauce sounds delicious but this appetizer combo according to the FDA
packs enough calories to very nearly fulfill an individual's entire nutritional requirements for
the whole day that's too much man suffice to say it's not recommended to polish off one of these
alone with 2 000 calories 115 grams of fat 5600 milligrams of sodium the boatload of guilt is much
nicer when shared amongst friends so as your party attacks this appetizer from multiple directions
just don't forget to ask for extra napkins while the cactus Blossom may be delicious when it comes
to its downside sometimes we're better off left in the dark who wants the guilt that goes along
with this delightful appetizer green beans I don't want green beans I don't want green beans either
this one may bring back memories of sitting at the table as a kid and hearing your parents say
no dessert until you finish those beans well this may be just the excuse needed to get out of such
a situation according to an online poll just over 20 percent of respondents said that the side order
of green beans should be placed at the bottom of the Texas Roadhouse food chain although this side
dish is prepared from scratch the beans have been reported to be considerably Bland while the only
things providing any real taste are the bacon bits if you like bacon you're gonna love it and
over General amounts of red or white onions that are tossed in while preparing the beans however
recipes are reported to vary between restaurants though this side dish may be considered one of
the healthier options on the menu it still adds another 100 calories to whatever else
is on your plate and let's not forget how many of us will undoubtedly garnish this dish with
more salt pepper and butter as well it's not a bad idea to add these extras though since as we
know most things that are usually good for you aren't typically the tastiest short-term pain
for long-term game right Texas red chili he's going to give us our Texas Chili boo if you're
craving something that tends to bite you back then chili is an obvious answer but for a restaurant
chain that boasts a long list of steak choices on their menu the chili apparently leaves a lot
to be desired granted Texas Roadhouse claims that their chili is completely made in-house
from scratch and recipes can vary slightly by individual restaurants they do not use ground
beef or regular hamburger meat in their chili instead using cuts from their steaks in the recipe
sounds good doesn't it especially when hearing of the Mountain of shredded cheese and onions thrown
on top see I'll take some more cheese it's great to know that individual restaurants can modify
their base recipe such as the bean type used and based on availability the beef cuts however the
general consensus seems to be that the meat is Bland and there's a lack of spiciness to this
Texas Roadhouse side dish still counting those calories well a single serving of this side dish
will give you 290 calories and 15 grams of fat which is about 25 percent of the typical day's
intake whatever the case chili is meant to be a hearty meal or in this case a side dish and those
mixed chunks of steak in it will surely hit the spot ribs I have the ribs ribs as one of the worst
dishes to order at Texas Roadhouse this might come as a surprise since Texas and ribs seems
as synonymous as peas and carrots apparently Texas Roadhouse is not known for a low and slow approach
to cooking their ribs so be forewarned it might be a good idea to request that your server asks
the chefs to cut back a little on the cooking time more times than not customers received overcooked
and rather crispy racks of ribs not to fall off the bone meat we've all come to expect and from
a health perspective watch out a typical rack of ribs with standard sauce contains over 1400
calories and has more than 40 grams of saturated fat that's about 75 percent of your daily calorie
intake and a full day's worth of fat am I too fat to ride and that tasty barbecue sauce they're
drowned in that packs another 10 grams of sugar into the meal as well it's funny how tasty food
rarely shares the same spot with healthy food but hey walking a few laps around the parking
lot could easily deal with that later if you're looking for a meal that packs a huge protein
count then look no further the full rack packs 116 grams of muscle builder nutritionists worn
however that the human body can typically only absorb 30 to 35 grams of protein in a single
sitting and the access will get stored as fat if it's not immediately burned off through exercise
good motivation huh one thing is for sure a full rack of Texas Roadhouse ribs will definitely
conquer even the most ravenous of appetites just remember all the downsides that go along with it
fries whatever I'm getting cheese fries fries are a standard menu item at many fast food chains so
why would you go to a reputable Steakhouse just to order more of the same right while steak fries are
certainly cut larger than the generic size fry it has been reported that the large Texas Roadhouse
steak cut cheese fries also hold a greater amount of Grease within them and be wary of the seasoning
on them as the larger amount of residual oil keeps a lot more sodium clinging to the fries one
customer in an online blog complained that their cheese fries tasted like they were rolled in salt
then there's the cheese shreds loaded on top along with the bits of bacon and if that's not enough
for you then listen to that little devil on your shoulder Whispering hey for only another 79 cents
you can have a cup of chili thrown on top as well so she's from yes I love chili cheese fries well
let's be blatantly honest no one orders something fried with cheese and bacon and whatever else on
for its nutritional value this site attracts our attention because it has it all a crunchy yet
ooey gooey taste sensation guaranteed to please however in terms of why this side of fries made it
onto our list well it all has to do with customer complaints over the temperature of their servings
if let to stand too long the cheese topping was reported to become heard and the fries underneath
thus becoming cold and stiff a great concept if you're employed as a mortician but for a side
dish quite undesirable fried catfish catfish is no good fish is typically a good idea for those who
are trying to maintain a higher protein meal plan but when that fish is fried be careful a Texas
Roadhouse order of fried catfish will certainly fit that required protein boost but be wary of
the 1400 calories in the 1490 milligrams of sodium that try to sneak into the party as well so let's
look at that word again fried this dish serves up 93 grams of fat 15 grams of are that nasty
saturated type but it isn't all bad though this is okay you know with a fairly balanced 45 grams
of carbs and 40 grams of protein per serving and customer reports stating that the taste
wasn't overly fishy you might consider drinking a fish tank's worth of water to help flush out all
that salt that comes with the fried batter Texas Roadhouse offers other menu options when it comes
to fish served with one of the healthier choices being the grilled catfish instead but come on when
there's a deep fried version also being offered is there really a choice we thought not grilled
shrimp house salad it's got to brew shrimp with it and well I'm not having that salad seriously
just when you thought it was safe to take the salad option over the guilt-ridden mashed potato
drowned in gravy this little double agent thwarts you even without the dressing this dinner-sized
salad packs over a full day's worth of salt over a thousand milligrams more than required
actually and a full day's worth of saturated fat with over 3 200 milligrams of sodium it wouldn't
be advisable to pair this with anything else other than a constant supply of water from a
garden hose but on a positive note the amount of protein per serving is an exceptional 65 grams a
protein we need protein again be wary of protein counts higher than 35 grams per meal as our bodies
typically won't be able to digest that extra fuel without some increased physical activity
it's okay not to skimp on the shrimp just drink lots of water afterwards to break down that extra
protein before it stores itself as fat while this may sound rather nasty it's the body's
natural ability to store protein energy similar to the electrons in a battery but if you don't
use your batteries they tend to get bigger and bigger Steakhouse fillet salad how about a big
salad a big salad let's continue with the theme of scandalous salads shall we Texas Roadhouse
does boast that 44 of their sizable menu consists of just steak so it's no surprise that some of
their salads are topped with Choice cuts of beef as well try not to be fooled into thinking this
salad is a healthier alternative to a straight up slab of meat because it's not at over 1300
calories 103 grams of fat 25 of those saturated 2 870 milligrams of sodium and 21 grams of sugar the
Texas Roadhouse salads May toss you a curve no I'm my big fat Dynamo granted the protein count
is great at 71 grams and serves those bodybuilders well for those seeking to eat smarter it would be
advisable to try the chicken critter salad or the grilled salmon salad instead some food for thought
be wary of those tasty croutons or simulated fried onions typically garnished on many of those leafy
salads their calorie bombs unto themselves so watch out for these and some of the high
calorie dressings too as they can derail a diet rather quickly 12 ounce ribeye steak with ribs
Fantastic Four steak steak steak steak oh but it does sound so good doesn't it perfectly seasoned
beef nestled alongside a succulently sweetened rack of barbecue sauce ribs the 12 ounce combo
is reported to top the list of Texas Roadhouse's menu but not for the reason you might think this
meal Takes the Cake for its calorie count at just over 1500 calories with 111 grams of fat
the equivalent of 10 tablespoons of butter and an astounding 46 grams of saturated fat there's also
6 grams of trans fat which is a pretty big No-No in anyone's diet since this is the stuff that
clogs arteries that's scary and what are the side dish options to go along with this combo remember
Isaac Newton in his third law for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction well he
probably wasn't thinking of his steak supper when he came up with this Theory while there's nothing
wrong with consuming such a meal you might want to have a plan to react afterwards if one can't
say no to digging into such a feast then they'd better be prepared to run a marathon afterwards
the carb and protein energy provided by this super sized meal should give anyone superhuman powers to
do so the 10 ounce combo might be a wiser choice and sharing it with a friend may be even better
bread pudding dessert it's dessert it's pudding there are a few other Texas Roadhouse menu items
especially some of their burgers that could have easily taken this spot but this list needs to
have something sweet included in it here's a diet busting dessert worthy of its spot on our
list let's start by preparing everyone with this little factoid first the American Heart
Association recommends individuals should not consume more than 36 grams of sugar a day with
women's recommended intake being even less than that with that in mind this sticky sweet bread
covered in Texas Roadhouse's warm homemade caramel sauce and a scoop of cool vanilla
ice cream contains a jaw-dropping 240 grams of sugar you gave them too much crossover sugar
and has over 1700 calories in it this dessert leaves any concept of Health in the rear view
mirror the bread pudding could just be the single most unhealthy item that Texas Roadhouse makes
but let's not miss the point here this Steakhouse franchise is a great establishment and any Patron
visiting the restaurant truly gets a whole lot of bang for their buck when eating at one of their
many locations across the nation just remember that moderation is always the key oh and maybe
a doggy bag to take home the leftovers if there are any your heart and conscience will thank you
