Texas Roadhouse splits its kids' options into two tiers: a standard kids' menu with smaller portions and lower prices, and "Ranger Meals," a step up in portion size aimed at kids with bigger appetites. Both tiers come with the same free rolls and cinnamon butter as the full menu.
The Short Version
The standard kids' menu runs about $6-$8 (mini-cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, mac and cheese), while Ranger Meals run about $10-$12 and are sized closer to a real entree - the Ranger Meal - Andy's Steak is an actual hand-cut sirloin, just smaller.

Which Tier Should You Order?
The standard kids' menu is sized for younger children or lighter eaters, while Ranger Meals are closer to a scaled-down adult entree - the Andy's Steak option, for instance, is an actual hand-cut sirloin rather than a kid-specific dish. If your child regularly finishes their plate and asks for more, a Ranger Meal is usually the better value than ordering a second kids' item.
