Bacon Cheeseburger: What You’re Actually Getting
Bacon Cheeseburger: What You’re Actually Getting
The Bacon Cheeseburger answers a simple question: what if the All-American Cheeseburger had bacon on it? That’s the entire pitch, and it works because Texas Roadhouse doesn’t try to overcomplicate it.
The Bacon Cheeseburger answers a simple question: what if the All-American Cheeseburger had bacon on it? That’s the entire pitch, and it works because Texas Roadhouse doesn’t try to overcomplicate it. No extra sauce, no special seasoning blend, just crispy bacon added to an already solid base burger.
If you’ve already had the All-American Cheeseburger and want to know whether the upgrade is worth it, here’s what’s actually different.
Why Bacon Changes the Order
Bacon does two things to a burger like this: it adds texture and it adds salt. Where the All-American Cheeseburger is soft straight through, the Bacon Cheeseburger gives you a crunch layer with every bite. If you’re someone who orders bacon on everything when given the option, this is the version built for you. If you’re trying to keep the order simpler or lighter, the All-American is the better fit.
There’s no listed difference in patty size or bun between the two burgers. Bacon is the only variable.
What It Comes With
Like every item in this category, the Bacon Cheeseburger includes:
🍟 Steak fries
Thick-cut, the same fries served with Texas Roadhouse’s steak dinners.
🥒 A pickle spear
Standard plate garnish.
If you want a side swap, that depends on the location, ask your server rather than assuming it’s available everywhere.
Calories and Nutrition
Texas Roadhouse‘s public menu page doesn’t list calorie counts for this item directly. The company’s nutrition data is maintained through its partnership with Nutritionix, which is the more reliable source if calorie count factors into your decision, rather than the inconsistent numbers found across various menu-tracking sites.
Worth knowing: adding bacon increases the calorie and sodium count compared to the All-American Cheeseburger. If you’re tracking either closely, that’s the meaningful difference between the two orders, not flavor preference alone.

Bacon Cheeseburger vs. Smokehouse Burger
Both burgers include bacon-adjacent or smoky flavor profiles, but they’re built differently. The Bacon Cheeseburger keeps it simple: bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion. The Smokehouse Burger goes further, adding sautéed mushrooms, sautéed onions, BBQ sauce, and a second cheese (jack, in addition to American). If you want bacon without a loaded burger, this is the right order. If you want maximum toppings, the Smokehouse Burger is the better comparison.
Ordering Tips
- Available for dine-in, takeout, and through the Texas Roadhouse app or online ordering.
- Pricing is set per location, not nationally. There’s no single accurate price to quote here, check your local restaurant’s menu or the app for the current cost before ordering.
- If you have a pork allergy or dietary restriction around bacon, this isn’t the right order, the All-American Cheeseburger is the direct substitute without that ingredient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Bottom Line
The Bacon Cheeseburger is the All-American Cheeseburger with one meaningful addition. It’s the right order if you want a classic burger with extra texture and flavor, without moving up to a fully loaded option like the Smokehouse Burger.
