How I Make a Vegan Plate at Texas Roadhouse
Sometimes my family thinks I can’t eat anything at a steakhouse. I always find options and sometimes they’re a delightful surprise. Case in point: Once while driving through west Texas, we encountered a billboard advertising vegan options at a local steakhouse. To this day, it was the best vegan ceviche I’ve ever had. While steakhouses are the lowest on my list of places to dine, I’ve been in situations where I’m visiting family or friends in a far-flung place where a steakhouse like Texas Roadhouse is the only sit-down place for miles. If you’re ever in that situation, try some of these vegan options at Texas Roadhouse and remember to tell folks why you’re choosing vegan food instead of the flesh from abused animals.
My Go-To Vegan Items at Texas Roadhouse
Country Vegetable Plate
The best way to make a vegan plate at Texas Roadhouse is to order the Country Vegetable Plate which allows you to pick four side items. The following items are vegan:
Baked Potato
I love baked potatoes and while the plain baked potato is vegan at Texas Roadhouse, I think the sweet potato is even better (read on!).
Baked Sweet Potato
The baked sweet potatoes at Texas Roadhouse are amazing because you can top them with brown sugar and/or cinnamon.
House Salad
Pair your baked sweet potato with a house salad to round out your meal. Just order it without the egg, cheese, and croutons and ask for Oil and Vinegar as the dressing.
Steak Fries
The steak is animal flesh but the steak fries are not!
If someone at your table dines on steak, remind them that cows are gentle, intelligent beings who form deep bonds with their families and mourn the deaths of and even separation from those they love, sometimes shedding tears over their loss.
Until Texas Roadhouse jumps on the vegan train and offers vegan steak, numerous companies sell vegan steak that you can enjoy at home!
Steamed Broccoli and Steamed Vegetables
These are vegan if you order them without the lemon pepper butter.
Applesauce
I think applesauce is like a dessert, so I make it one of the four items on my plate.
Sides That Are Not Vegan at Texas Roadhouse
The green beans and chili have animal flesh, and the mashed potatoes contain stolen cows’ milk. The bread is not vegan either.
Pass on these pig facts to give fellow diners a reason to pass on pigs’ flesh: Pigs are highly intelligent animals who have complex problem-solving skills and remarkable memories. These curious, social animals love to spend time with their loved ones, play games, bask in the sun, and explore the world around them.
