Smokehouse Burger: What You’re Actually Getting
Smokehouse Burger: What You’re Actually Getting
The Smokehouse Burger is the most loaded item on the Burgers & Sandwiches menu, and it’s built that way on purpose.
The Smokehouse Burger is the most loaded item on the Burgers & Sandwiches menu, and it’s built that way on purpose. Where the All-American Cheeseburger gives you a blank canvas and the Bacon Cheeseburger adds one ingredient, the Smokehouse Burger stacks multiple toppings and two cheeses onto the same base. If you’ve looked at the rest of the burger menu and thought “give me everything,” this is the order.
Here’s exactly what’s in it and how it compares to the simpler options.
Why “Smokehouse” Is the Right Name
The name signals what you’re getting before you even read the ingredient list. BBQ sauce, sautéed onions, and a double-cheese pull bring a smoky, savory profile that’s distinct from the straightforward cheeseburgers on the same menu. This isn’t a burger you order if you want to taste plain beef. It’s a burger you order because you want every bite to carry sauce, cheese, and sautéed vegetables together.
If you’ve had the Smokehouse Burger before at a different steakhouse chain and assumed it would taste similar here, the BBQ sauce and jack cheese combination is what sets Texas Roadhouse‘s version apart from a typical smokehouse-style burger built around bacon and smoked cheddar instead.
What It Comes With
Standard for the category:
🍟 Steak fries
Same thick-cut fries served with steak dinners.
🥒 A pickle spear
Standard plate garnish, not a side.
Given how loaded this burger already is, some guests order it without the pickle spear or ask for a lighter fry portion. That’s a request to make directly with your server, it isn’t listed as a standard substitution.
Calories and Nutrition
Texas Roadhouse’s official menu page does not list calorie counts for this item. Given the number of toppings and the second cheese, it’s reasonable to expect this is one of the higher-calorie options in the Burgers & Sandwiches category, but an exact figure should come from Texas Roadhouse’s Nutritionix-listed nutrition data, not from a guess or a number pulled from an unrelated menu-tracking site.
If you’re managing calorie or sodium intake, this is the item to check most carefully before ordering, since BBQ sauce, two cheeses, and sautéed vegetables all add up faster than a simpler cheeseburger.

Smokehouse Burger vs. Bacon Cheeseburger vs. All-American Cheeseburger
All three burgers share the same base: a beef patty on a Texas-sized bun with steak fries and a pickle spear. From there:
- All-American Cheeseburger: Cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion. Nothing else.
- Bacon Cheeseburger: Same as above, plus bacon.
- Smokehouse Burger: Mushrooms, onions, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, American and jack cheese.
If you’re trying to decide between the three, think about how much flavor complexity you want. The Smokehouse Burger is the only one of the three with a sauce built into the order and the only one with two cheeses.
Ordering Tips
- Available for dine-in, takeout, and through the Texas Roadhouse app or online ordering.
- Pricing is set by individual location. There’s no accurate fixed price to publish here, check your local restaurant’s menu or the app for current pricing.
- If you have a mushroom allergy or simply don’t like mushrooms, this isn’t a burger that’s easy to modify without losing part of what makes it distinct, ask your server about removing them, but understand the flavor profile changes.

Bottom Line
