Bill Miller's two salads are the Garden Fresh Salad at $5.55 and the Salad De-Lite at $7.55. The scoop sides — pinto beans, potato salad, coleslaw, Spanish rice, green beans, mac and cheese — are priced as part of the plates, and that is the cheapest way to get them. Stepping from the $8.00 Wrangler (two sides) to the $9.45 Regular (three sides) costs $1.45, while the cheapest side bought à la carte from the breakfast sides board is $2.25. Inside a plate, sides are cheaper.
Sides at Bill Miller are priced in an unusual way, and understanding it saves real money. Rather than a separate side menu with individual prices, the scoop sides are built into the plate ladder. That is not an inconvenience — it is where the value is.
The $8.00 Wrangler Plate comes with two sides. The $9.45 Regular Plate comes with three. So the third side costs $1.45. Anything comparable bought on its own from the à la carte board starts at $2.25. Buying sides inside a plate is roughly 36% cheaper than buying them beside one.
This section also holds the two salads, which are the only substantial items on the menu built around something other than smoked meat or bread.

Salads, and the cheapest route to a side
The bottom two rows are the point of this page.
| What you want | Cheapest route | Cost | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden Fresh Salad | À la carte | $5.55 | The lighter option on this menu |
| Salad De-Lite | À la carte | $7.55 | Or $9.30 as combo #6, with a drink |
| Salad De-Lite + a drink | Combo #6 | $9.30 | Saves $0.45 vs salad + $2.20 tea |
| Two sides with meat | Wrangler Plate | $8.00 | Includes the pit meat |
| A third side | Step up to the Regular Plate | +$1.45 | Versus $2.25 buying one separately |
| Sides for four or more | Family order | $30.55 | Quart sides, and saves $7.25 overall |
The $2.25 à la carte comparison is the cheapest single side on the breakfast board. If you only want sides and no meat, that page is where to look.
Getting sides right
Want three sides? Order the Regular Plate, not the Wrangler plus a side. You save $0.80 and get the same food.
Want two sides? The Wrangler at $8.00 is the value plate on this menu. Do not pay the $1.45 step for a third side you will leave.
Feeding four or more? A family order at $30.55 brings quart sides rather than individual scoops, and quart pricing is where the bulk discount genuinely lives on this menu — unlike chicken family packs, which give none.
If you are eating lighter
The two salads are the only real options, and the Salad De-Lite is better bought as combo #6 at $9.30 if you want a drink with it. For a genuinely light order, the taco counter is a better bet — an Egg Taco is $1.45 and 250 kcal, the lightest thing on the board. Our calorie page ranks everything with published figures.
A note on what we can and cannot price
Bill Miller does not publish individual à la carte prices for every scoop side on the lunch board, so we do not invent them. What we can show is what a side costs inside a plate, which is verifiable from the plate ladder, and the breakfast sides that are individually priced. Where a figure is missing here, it is missing because we could not source it.
