Arby’s
Good news, Arby’s fans! It looks like the brand is planning to roll out a new menu item, hopefully nationwide. But before it happens, you know the drill…there’s going to be a test for the said menu item first. Arby’s really said “they’ve got the steaks” because they’re now testing Steak Nuggets in select markets! These new nuggets will be available in a 5- or 9-piece order, as well as in a bowl and in a sandwich.
Here are the new test items from Arby’s featuring the Steak Nuggets:
- Steak Nuggets – These feature bite-sized morsels of smoked steak nuggets, served with Hickory BBQ dipping sauce on the side.
- Steak Nugget Bowl – Cheesy and smoky, this menu item features a base of white cheddar mac and cheese with a sprinkling of crispy onions and smoked steak nuggets on top.
- Steak Nugget Sandwich – Indulge in this sandwich loaded with smoked steak nuggets, crispy onions, Harvati cheese, and pickles. All these are served on a toasty bun with Arby’s signature Horsey Sauce.
All three menu items above are available in Arby’s locations in Jacksonville and Green Bay. Meanwhile, both Steak Nuggets and Steak Nugget Sandwich have been spotted in Tulsa, Orlando, and Grand Rapids.
KFC
KFC, on the other hand, is offering a new fast food deal, keeping its commitment to delivering value in every possible way. This time, the chain is running a digital-exclusive deal, 5 Tenders for $5, available for a limited time. You can take advantage of this new deal when you make a purchase via the brand’s app or website.
To apply the discount, just open your KFC app or visit KFC.com. Head over to “The Latest” or “Deals” section, select the deal, and add it to your bag when you’re ready to check out. Each order includes five Original Recipe chicken tenders, hand-breaded and fried until perfectly crispy, and served with your choice of two dipping sauces.
Again, the 5 Tenders for $5 deal is available for a limited time at participating KFC locations nationwide. Per the brand, prices may be higher in Alaska, Hawaii, and California.
Wetzel’s Pretzels
Wetzel’s Pretzels just came up with a new crispy, cheesy, and portable offering, perfect for summer snacking. Say hello to Mozzarella Stickz! That’s right, the pretzel powerhouse is entering a new category with the launch of this menu item. Available starting at $7.99, these Mozzarella Stickz can be purchased at Wetzel’s locations nationwide for a limited time, through August 31, 2025.
So what’s special about these new Mozzarella Stickz? According to the Director of Marketing of Wetzel’s Pretzels, Peyton Geyser, they took everything people love about mozzarella sticks and gave it the Wetzel’s spin. That means, using a fresh pretzel dough for the stickz to create a match made in snack heaven. The new Mozzarella Stickz feature fresh, hand-rolled dough loaded with melty mozzarella cheese. They’re also topped with Italian breadcrumbs and baked until perfectly golden to give you that satisfying crunch. The Mozzarella Stickz (five pieces) are served in a snack cup, and best paired with pizza sauce or creamy ranch dip.
For a sweet-salty combo, you can also pair the Mozzarella Stickz with Wetzel’s refreshing Frozen Lemonade. This combo is ideal for mid-day snack breaks or warm weather hangouts. If you’re ready to try the Mozzarella Stickz, don’t miss the deal that Wetzel’s is offering: $1 off Mozzarella Stickz until May 18. This offer is accessible to Wetzel’s Rewards app users who will be making a purchase in-store or online. Just use the code “MOZZARELLA” to apply the discount.

From The Club
Arby’s is back again with something new (and I bet delicious) for all of us with the launch of the Steak Nuggets! Although this one is still a test item, I have high hopes for it as well as the other variations in bowl and sandwich forms. KFC‘s deal is also not to miss if you have the app. If you still don’t have it, take this as your sign to download, because KFC has been releasing a lot of deals recently. And of course, who wouldn’t want some summer snacks? Wetzel’s Pretzels is just the right place to get that; I love how they put their own twist on the classic mozzarella sticks!
Special thanks to Markie Devo for the image and tip on Arby’s new releases.
