    Lots of bread and that cinnamon butter Mmmmmmm so good. Then just workout! Just remember that extra weight is going to sit in your intestines, and colon for a couple of days so you might not lose any weight, until you release the fudgies in a couple of days.

    I usually get a petite filet mignon, a sweet potato (minus the brown sugar, butter and marshmallows) and a salad. That or salmon but ask for the 'sauce' on the side. They also have other veggies you can order with your meal. Enjoy!

    I always get the six ounce sirloin and the side salad, bring my own dressing, and avoid the rolls!!

    I don't think the grilled bbq chicken would be awful. Look it up on here and see how many calories?

    It's not too hard to choose, because there really is usally a small choice on healthy items..Salad always works, grilled chicken or any lean meat with a veggie, stay away from that awsome bread.

    Love their ribs and fried pickles. I always order a basket of the pickles and share with whoever I go with. I order a half rack of ribs and ask them to bring a box with the meal and immediately put half of it away. Also, take it easy on the rolls as good as I know they are.

    It's Friday night! Enjoy it and put in a good hard workout tomorrow.

    Try the sirloin kabob...it's delicious, lean and is served with yummy grilled peppers & onions. Pair with salad (dressing on the side) and baked potato (don't get crazy with the toppings). Their rolls are the bomb...so let yourself have one and then you are done!!! Good luck and order some water to fill you up before your food comes.

    ^ agree!! i love the sirloin kabob, with a salad (no egg), and i get steamed vegetables instead of baked potato, but the kabob is so flavorful that it made me okay with not being able to eat their yummy ribs! it is soo flavorful!!

    Garden salad to start, dressing on the side, they will likely have some sort of vinegrette, choose that. Get a petite filet and a double order of steamed broccoli. Skip the potato. Skip the rolls with butter, if you can ( I know they're sooooooo good). Go with water, not soda or booze.

    To help in your healthy choices if you have an android phone there is a free app called Restaurant Nutrition. Not sure if available for iPhone.

    I always get the smallest sirloin with steamed veggies and the green beans. I skip the rolls to save calories for a nice draft beer.

    You can work it in! :)

    Order your steak rare. That is the only advice you need when going to Road House. Enjoying delicious rolls and loaded baked potatoes are a given ;)

    As I mentioned above, they soak their chicken breasts in butter and one runs about 1000-1200 calories. JUST FOR THE CHICKEN!

    My husband and I go to Roadhouse about once a week. He's eats whatever he wants, but here is what I do and it's been very successful:

    Main:
    - 8 ounce sirloin (I ask them to leave off the basting sauce)
    2 Sides:
    - House salad with no croutons, cheese or egg
    - House Italian dressing on the side
    - Mixed vegetables (usually broccoli and carrots) and I ask them to leave off the sauce, just plain steamed

    Tips:
    - I do NOT eat the delicious homemade rolls with cinnamon butter!
    - I use about 1-2 tablespoons of the dressing
    - I drink water
    - I eat 10 peanuts while waiting for dinner
    - I take home half the steak for another meal, I love cold steak!

    They have been very accommodating at my roadhouse and it's a great high protein meal.

    Have fun, their steaks are delicious :)

    small 6 oz steak, veggies, and plain sweet potato. Yummy and the perfect plate. Either have them not bring the bread or try hard to have just 1 piece. Delish. and plan a walk or a workout for later
