I have not been able to find this ad anywhere on the internet. I also have not been able to find any news that has reported this statement or discussed the ad.  So, I called my local texas roadhouse and asked them if there is any truth to this statement. They said that they are not replacing their rolls with white bread.

What a great approach -- calling your local Texas Roadhouse was a great move to find out directly if the claim may be true or not.

I searched for awhile and couldn't find anything about this topic. I went through the social media accounts of the restaurant and have not seen anything about this. Assuming the proximity of April Fools, it's fair to assume this was a joke.

After searching for articles and social media posts about this topic, I was not able to find anything in particular where Texas Roadhouse specifically states that they are replacing their famous rolls with white bread. Many of the franchise's most recent Instagram and Twitter posts, however, do revolve around their famous rolls. For instance, on Instagram they have a post with the caption, "#FreshBakedBreadFriday," along with a Twitter post where they state, "What's on our mind right now? Specifically Fresh-Baked Bread." 

Due to the fact that Texas Roadhouse is posting statements such as the ones above, rather than how they will be replacing their famous rolls with white bread, it is safe to say that right now Texas Roadhouse is probably just advertising their bread.

I liked how you used a source. No one else in this thread used a source. I also agree that this was mostly likely an April fools post. Whenever there is an outlandish claim like this with very little reason, that always seems to be the case.

First of all, this would be devastating news. Secondly, I cannot find this ad anywhere on the internet. Texas Roadhouse also has not posted anything on social media about this. I believe that this is not true as there is no evidence saying that this actually happened.

Based on my research, this ad does not seem to exist. Additionally, this claim is not mentioned in any articles or social media posts. I think it is safe to say that this is false considering there is no evidence or confirmation of any sort to back this claim up.

After doing some research on this claim. I have not been able to find anything out there that says that they will be taking away the in house rolls. There has been nothing said by the company or any statements to think that they would be changing anything. With this being said I can only think that this is false.

Looking into menus as well as recent news involving Texas Roadhouse I was unable to find anything that confirmed this. This claim seems very unlikely considering the rolls are something that Texas Roadhouse is famous for. I have included a link to the menu on the official website which still includes rolls.
