About Texas Roadhouse 1/2 Slab Ribs
The half slab is the entry point to Texas Roadhouse ribs: St. Louis-style pork ribs, slow cooked until the meat barely holds the bone, finished on the grill with the house BBQ glaze, $18.99 with two made-from-scratch sides. At about 900 calories before sides it feeds one hungry adult properly.
The glaze is the signature, sweet first with a smoky follow-through, caramelized over the char in the final minutes. If you finish the half slab still wanting more, the math lesson arrives with the check: the full slab runs only $6 more for double the ribs. Most people learn this on their second visit.

0 of 4 steps
- 1Peel the membrane off the bone side of the rack. Rub every surface with the spice mix. · 10 minTip: Grip the membrane with a paper towel and it pulls off in one sheet.
- 2Wrap tightly in foil, meat side up, and bake at 275°F for 2.5 to 3 hours until a bone twists loose. · 170 min
- 3Whisk the glaze. Unwrap ribs, brush heavily, and broil 3 to 4 minutes until bubbling and edged with char. · 5 min
- 4Glaze once more, rest 5 minutes, slice between the bones. · 5 min
Pro Tips
- Do not skip the membrane peel or the rub never reaches the meat.
- Foil traps the steam that makes fall-off-the-bone texture happen.
- Watch the broiler the whole time; sugar glaze burns in seconds.
Variations
Grill Finish
Run the foil stage in the oven, then glaze over direct grill heat for real fire char.
Spicy Glaze
Add 1 tbsp hot sauce and a pinch of cayenne to the glaze.
Serving Ideas
- Seasoned rice under the ribs catches the glaze drips.
- Green beans on the side keep the plate from going full brown.
- Cold leftovers reheat perfectly wrapped in foil at 300°F.
