""I work at Texas Roadhouse, and this not a secret; they just don't tell you. With any meal, you get two sides, and instead of picking like, your regular sides ... you can pick a half an appetizer. So you can pick like, half of skins and half of twisted mozzarella sticks ... No up-charge or nothing," he shared."
"Following the sharing of the TikTok video, a number of users pointed out that their Texas Roadhouse locations didn't offer such a menu hack. "In Orange Park, [Florida] this does not work," one person wrote in a comment. Another said, "I wish this app thing was true," and a third added, "It depends on location." Meanwhile, a different employee confirmed, "Not all of us do!!!!""
"As for which are available to be switched, it seems unlikely that Texas Roadhouse would offer its larger, more expensive items as a side swap. While lower-cost appetizers like a bowl of chili ($4.99), grilled shrimp ($7.99), or fried pickles ($8.99), may be options, it could be a stretch to request the sampler ($13.99) or the kill"
Some Texas Roadhouse locations permit swapping the two included meal sides for half-portions of appetizers at no extra charge. Availability varies by restaurant and by manager discretion, so not every location honors the substitution. Employee reports and customer comments show mixed experiences: some staff members approve the swap while others say it is not offered. Servers may not be trained to mention the option, making manager approval a key factor. Lower-cost appetizers such as chili, grilled shrimp, or fried pickles are the most likely candidates for side swaps, while larger or pricier sampler items are unlikely to be allowed.
