About Texas Roadhouse Mac & Cheese
The mac & cheese is the only side commanding a premium over the standard $3.49, priced at $4.48 and 310 calories, and the dining room has ratified the surcharge without complaint. Creamy-sauced rather than baked-dry, it holds its silk from kitchen to table.
It moonlights as the most popular kids-menu item in adult portion form and pairs against grilled and fried mains with equal loyalty. The macaroni-under-beef-tips maneuver is off-menu but structurally sound and widely practiced.
