Many Texas Roadhouse Restaurants Serve Kraft Macaroni and Cheese — But Does it Matter?

Does it affect your opinion of their franchise?

There’s been a lot of hoopla since a woman went viral on TikTok for blasting Texas Roadhouse for serving her Kraft Mac & Cheese and charging $4.00. Apparently, she expected it to be homemade. It turns out, it came from the familiar blue box you can get for $0.99 at Target. After scouring over 50 of the 615 Texas Roadhouse menus from all over the United States, I found most plainly state on the ‘Sides’ menu, as well as the ‘Kids and Rangers’ menu, they are offering Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

While some may say the lady overreacted, it can get a bit confusing. Some Texas Roadhouse restaurants such as the El Cajon, California, Altoona, Iowa, and Madison Heights, Michigan locations have ‘Homemade Mac & Cheese’ on the menu. The Texas Roadhouse menu in Miami, Florida goes a step further, claiming their ‘Homemade Mac & Cheese’ is, “The cheesiest Mac in town.” Things get hazy on the Tampa, Florida Texas Roadhouse menu. Under the ‘Kids and Rangers’ menu, it claims the mac & cheese is homemade, but on the ‘Sides’ menu it says their Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is unavailable.

On the Texas Roadhouse Twitter account, their bio boasts, “Made-From-Scratch Food, Made-From-Scratch Tweets.”…
