Texas Roadhouse Kids Menu at a glance
There are two sizes on this part of the menu and they are priced like two different sections. The smaller kids meals sit in one band and the Ranger meals sit several dollars above them.
Parents order the Ranger meal by name without noticing the step up in price, because the name sounds like a theme rather than a size. It is a size.
The 9 rows below run from All-Beef Hot Dog at $6.49 to Ranger Meal - Ranger Rib Basket at $12.99. Prices are read from restaurant ordering pages covering 614 restaurants in 47 states, and they are a reference rather than the price on your local board.

What the kids menu prices show
The six smaller meals cluster tightly together, with barely two dollars between the cheapest and the dearest. Choosing between them is a question of what your child eats rather than what it costs.
The three Ranger meals sit well above the rest of the section. The step from a Jr. Chicken Tenders plate to a Ranger Rib Basket is a larger jump than the whole gap between every other row on this page.
Published calorie counts run from the Grilled Chicken at the bottom to the Ranger Rib Basket at the top, a five-fold difference inside one section of a childrens menu.

Choosing between a kids meal and a Ranger meal
Ranger meals are the larger portion, aimed at older children with an adult appetite. A younger child given one usually leaves food on the plate, and the price difference is real money across a family of four.
Most restaurants include a side and a drink in the kids price. Confirm this locally before adding either, because paying separately for a drink already included is the most common way a kids order grows.
Age limits on the kids menu are set by each restaurant rather than nationally. Ask when your child is close to the line, because the Ranger meals exist for exactly those children.
The rest of the menu
Every section of the Texas Roadhouse menu has its own page with the same price and calorie detail. The full menu page holds all 139 items in one place.

How much is a kids meal at Texas Roadhouse?
The six smaller kids meals sit in a narrow band between roughly six and nine dollars in our reference data, read across 47 states. Most restaurants include a side and a drink at the listed price, so confirm locally before adding either.
What is a Ranger Meal at Texas Roadhouse?
A Ranger Meal is the larger portion on the childrens menu, aimed at older children. The three Ranger rows carry a clear price step above the smaller kids meals, so the choice between them is a real decision rather than a naming preference.
Does a kids meal include a drink?
A side and a drink are included at most restaurants. The included drink list is usually narrower than the full menu, so a specific request is sometimes charged separately. Ask before ordering.
What is the lightest kids meal at Texas Roadhouse?
The Grilled Chicken carries the lowest published count in the section by a wide margin, at a fraction of the Ranger Rib Basket at the other end. The side you add alongside it moves the plate total more than the main does.
