It’s not winter yet but Arby’s is bringing you something warm, cozy, and delightfully cheesy.
There are many different reasons why mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. For some, it’s the way the cheese melts and make the entire dish creamy and ooey gooey. Others love the way it brings back memories of simpler times. I could go on and on, but we’re actually here to welcome a fan-favorite at Arby’s that lets you see mac and cheese in a different light. Buckle up and get ready for a cheesy adventure with crispy bumps and melty turns!
Arby’s is welcoming back a popular item on their menu, the Mac ‘N Cheese Bites. It features a premium four-cheese blend and noodles that have been coated in breading and fried until golden brown and crispy. The fan-favorite is known to deliver a warm explosion of cheese with every bite, making it an indulgent choice if you’re looking for something savory to eat.
The Mac ‘N Cheese Bites are available for a limited time only and can be ordered in 4 pieces or 6 pieces, for a price of $3.99 and $5.59, respectively. Find them in all participating Arby’s restaurants nationwide; prices may vary by location.
If you want to enjoy these cheesy bites with another item at Arby’s, we have another good news! The Mac ‘N Cheese Bites are part of the restaurant’s 2 for $6 Everyday Value meal deal. This allows you to mix and match two items from the menu and get them for only six bucks.
An order of 4-piece Mac ‘N Cheese Bites packs 280 calories, 20 grams of carbs, and 8 grams of protein, while a 6-order has 419 calories, 30 grams of carbs, and 13 grams of protein. Additional details on nutritional facts are available upon request.

Arby’s Menu of Limited-Time Offers
The Mac ‘N Cheese Bites are just among the several limited-time menu items at Arby’s. Even with its seasonal offers, the brand strives to cater to different food preferences and deliver the best value. Here are the items that are here for a good time, but not for a long time:
$7 Double The Meats Meal Deal
For only $7, customers can get either a Double Beef ‘N Cheddar or Double Roast Beef sandwich, medium fries, and medium drink. The sandwiches offer twice the amount of meat found in Arby’s classic Beef ‘N Cheddar and Roast Beef, leaving guests full and satisfied at a fraction of a price.
Arby’s Double Roast Beef features thinly sliced signature roast beef layered within a toasted sesame seed bun. Meanwhile, the Double Beef ‘N Cheddar is on a whole new level. Its double portion of roast beef on a toasted onion roll is topped with savory-zesty combination of Cheddar sauce and Red Ranch.
Arby’s Tailgate Meal
Just in time for the football season, Arby’s released a meal deal that’s perfect if you’re tailgating by yourself! Introducing: Arby’s Tailgate Meal, consisting of a Deluxe Burger, large fries, and large fountain drink. The suggested price for this meal is $13.79, but overall cost may vary by location.
Got room for dessert? If yes, that’s great because Arby’s has a sweet surprise for you! As part of the Tailgate Meal, you’ll also get the Tailgate Turnover, a cherry-filled pastry decorated in white icing so it resembles a football. This makes the entire meal more irresistible if you’re not one to grill this game season.
Pumpkin Pie Turnover
The Tailgate Turnover was a hint to Arby’s fall-themed offering. As the brand joins the pumpkin craze, it launches the Pumpkin Pie Turnover. It’s a flaky pastry that comes with a sweet pumpkin pie filling and finished with cream cheese icing. Arby’s is known for successfully releasing sweet treats, including the chocolate-flavored turnovers, so the pumpkin pie variation must be well worth the try, too!
Strawberry Shake
Arby’s refreshing Strawberry Shake came back to the menu at the end of summer 2024. It’s still up for grabs and is surely a great pair with a savory burger or even the crispy Mac ‘N Cheese Bites. The Strawberry Shake is made with vanilla shake mix, blended with natural and artificial strawberry flavoring, and finished with whipped cream on top.

Other Mac and Cheese Releases This 2024
Based on the latest fast food news, we got other mac and cheese releases from two restaurants this September alone. It’s not that much of a surprise, though, because this comforting dish provides a sense of warmth that we crave (and actually need) during autumn season. Plus, they’re a crowd-favorite when talking about tailgate parties!
- Domino’s Mac & Cheese: Domino’s officially added two varieties of its Mac & Cheese to the menu last September 23, 2024. The first one is 5-Cheese Mac & Cheese, which combines American, cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan-Asiago, and Alfredo sauce with penne pasta. The other variation is Spicy Buffalo 5-Cheese Mac & Cheese, which has the same ingredients as the first variation but with a drizzle of hot buffalo sauce on top. If you can handle the next-level heat, you can also add jalapenos to this dish.
- Schlotzsky’s Mac & Cheese: This Mac & Cheese features large elbow macaroni smothered in a rich cheese sauce topped with shredded cheddar cheese. This item can be enjoyed a la carte or as part of a bundle. There’s a Mac & Cheese Bundle, best for your game day spread. It contains two quarts of Mac & Cheese, one tray each of cookies and oven-baked sandwiches, and other tailgate essentials.

From The Club
Eating mac & cheese just got more convenient, thanks to Arby’s latest offering. The crispiness of the Mac ‘N Cheese Bites seems like a nice contrast to their creamy inside, so I really need to try them! I love how these bites can also be ordered as part of a value meal deal; this shows that it’s possible to indulge in a comforting dish (or two) at an affordable price. When it comes to providing value meals that are satisfying, Arby’s really does it well.
