Texas Roadhouse Cheese Fries

High histamine

Cheese fries run high because of the aged cheddar and the diced bacon on top.

Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.

Dairy

This is seasoned steak fries loaded with cheddar and diced bacon, and both toppings drive the level up.

  • Bacon and cheddar lead — the diced bacon is a cured, salted pork product and the cheddar is an aged cheese, both high, which is what carries the whole dish.

  • The fries are the milder part — the seasoned steak fries underneath are the gentler base, so it is really the two toppings doing the lifting.

Plain fries without the cheddar and bacon land a lot lower on the same menu.
