secret menus

Off-the-record options

Secret menus are unofficial menu items at restaurants or cafés, not listed publicly but available if you know to ask.

They originate from customer requests that became recurring orders, or from staff experiments shared among regulars.

The In-N-Out secret menu includes Animal Style fries.

The term extends to hidden features in software or games accessible through undocumented commands.
