Texas Roadhouse Side Dish: A Delicious Dessert Option

For many people across the country, Texas Roadhouse is a favorite spot for hearty meals and generous portions. But if you have a sweet tooth, splurging on dessert can sometimes feel unnecessary, especially with prices on the rise. Luckily, there’s a clever way to satisfy your dessert cravings that won’t break the bank.

Believe it or not, one of the most popular items on the Texas Roadhouse menu can double as a sweet dessert—the sweet potato. This side dish may seem like an unlikely choice for dessert, but its natural sweetness and creamy texture make it a treat in itself. Plus, if you order the loaded sweet potato, it comes topped with a honey-cinnamon caramel sauce and toasted marshmallows, giving it a s’mores-like flavor for just $3.49.

While you can add extra toppings for a small fee, like mini marshmallows or additional caramel sauce, the loaded sweet potato is still a more affordable option compared to the chain’s other desserts, each priced at $8.99.

The great thing about the loaded sweet potato is that you can easily customize it to suit your taste. Add butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar for a homemade sweet potato pie vibe, or swap in some of Texas Roadhouse’s famous Honey-Cinnamon Butter for an extra indulgent twist. Don’t like the caramel sauce? Try it with just toasted marshmallows instead. And for a truly decadent experience, ask for a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top to turn your sweet potato into a sweet potato pie à la mode.

Just keep in mind that the ice cream topping may not be officially on the menu, so availability may vary by location. But no matter how you enjoy it, the Texas Roadhouse loaded sweet potato is a tasty and budget-friendly way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
