About Texas Roadhouse Pulled Pork Dinner
The Pulled Pork Dinner delivers barbecue-joint food at steakhouse convenience: pork shoulder slow cooked until it shreds, tossed in the house BBQ sauce, $14.49 with two sides at 890 calories. It is one of the cheapest full dinners on the menu and the foundation of the $39.99 family-size version on the Family Packs page.
The sauce-to-meat ratio arrives balanced rather than swimming, so the pork tastes like pork with barbecue conviction behind it. Regulars pair it with seasoned rice specifically so nothing on the plate escapes the sauce.
