Texas Roadhouse kids menu prices
Prices for children's dishes were almost the same at the four restaurants we read: only Colorado Springs charged 50 cents to a dollar more for most plates. The list is short, and every item comes with a small side. Two items, the All-Beef Hot Dog and the Mini-Cheeseburgers, had no fixed price online, so they are not in the table.

Ranger Meals for older kids
Ranger Meals are closer to an adult portion. The Chicken Critters basket ($10.99) has fried chicken strips; Andy's Steak ($11.99) is a hand-cut sirloin with 46 g of protein in 250 calories; the Rib Basket ($12.49) is fall-off-the-bone ribs. Andy's Steak costs $3.00 less than an adult 6 oz sirloin plate ($14.99), which makes it the cheapest steak dinner at Texas Roadhouse.

Sides and drinks for children
Children's sides are smaller than the adult ones — the small steak fries have about half the calories of the regular side. The drinks for children are Coca-Cola fountain drinks, Hi-C, lemonades and milk in a smaller cup; Texas Roadhouse lists their calories separately from the adult sizes.
