Red Beans & Rice Nutrition and Calories
At 230 calories the Red Beans & Rice is the most substantial of the vegetable-and-rice sides: 34 grams of carbs, 5 grams of fiber and 9 grams of protein — the joint-highest protein of any non-potato side, tied with the Broccoli Cheese Casserole. The sodium (960 mg) is the figure to watch; it is seasoned like a dish, not a plain side. The table below is the official guide panel.

What to Pair With the Red Beans & Rice
Grilled Pork Chops: Grilled Pork Chops with red beans and rice is a full Southern plate — the bourbon glaze’s sweetness against the beans’ savoury depth, with green beans or corn as the second side.
Key West Chicken & Shrimp: Key West Chicken & Shrimp is a lighter, citrus-butter plate (570 calories); the beans and rice give it the hearty base it does not bring itself.
Vegetable Plate: On a Vegetable Plate, Red Beans & Rice is the protein anchor of the four sides — pair it with carrots, corn and green beans and the build-your-own plate still lands 9 grams of protein from this one pick.
Contains Pork: The Hearty Side
Two sides on this menu carry a pork note — the Southern Green Beans (prepared using pork) and this one (contains pork) — and both are the Southern-style builds where pork is part of the traditional flavour. It is also why this side eats heartier than the plain Seasoned Rice (150 calories, 2 g protein): the beans bring the protein and fiber up to 9 and 5 grams. Guests avoiding pork should pick the seasoned rice or a vegetable side instead.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
At 230 calories with 960 mg of sodium, the Red Beans & Rice is a seasoned dish’s panel in a side’s portion — pair it with a lighter entrée if salt is a concern. On allergens, the official guide flags the Red Beans & Rice for soy and dairy (milk), and Cheddar’s menu separately notes it contains pork. Cheddar’s warns that its kitchens use shared cooking and preparation areas, so cross-contact can occur. It cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens.
