Texas Roadhouse Killer Ribs

Killer Ribs put the famous fall-off-the-bone ribs on the starters list: an appetizer portion of glazed St. Louis-style bones for $12.99 at 910 calories, no sides, no commitment, all glaze. It exists for tables where someone wants ribs and someone else already ordered a steak, and for scouts deciding if the full rack deserves next visit.

The portion runs about a third of a slab, the same slow-cook and grill-finish as the entrée version. As a shared starter it covers two or three people a bone or two each, which is exactly enough to guarantee a rib order next time.
