About Texas Roadhouse Seasoned Rice

The seasoned rice is the quiet workhorse: buttery, savory grains for $3.49 at 360 calories, serving as the official landing zone for kabobs, grilled shrimp and every escaped drop of glaze on the plate. It converts sauce into food at maximum efficiency.

The seasoning runs pilaf-adjacent, onion and garlic warmth with visible herb flecks, distinct enough to eat alone and neutral enough to host anything. Rice-under-beef-tips is menu-official; rice-under-everything-else is common law.
