Don’t sleep on these new fast food deals and menu items.

Spring is here and so are new fast food deals and menu releases. They just keep coming, and we’re not here to complain. In fact, once you see the new meal deal from Checkers & Rally’s, you’ll find that they’re also changing the narrative about the fast food experience. Their new meal just…hits different. Meanwhile, Burger King and Arby’s just dropped new limited-time offers that we think you’ll crave instantly. Lastly, we have Perkins American Food Co., bringing value to the table with two flavor-packed deals. Ready to make your taste buds dance? Let’s dive in!

Arby’s New Quarter Pound Sandwiches and Sauces

New sandwiches and sauces are coming to Arby’s after the brand teamed up with AC Barbecue, a lifestyle brand created by Anthony Anderson and Cedric The Entertainer. Starting April 28, 2025, you can try any (or both) of the new sandwiches: Quarter Pound Pulled Pork and Quarter Pound Brisket BBQ. Here are the juicy details about these new, filling bites:

Quarter Pound Pulled Pork Sandwich – Enjoy a 1/4 lb. pulled pork smoked for six hours over hickory wood, creating a blend of juicy shreds and chunky bark pieces. The meat is layered with sweet-garlicky dill pickles and served on a toasty sesame seed bun.
Quarter Pound Brisket BBQ Sandwich – Meanwhile, this sandwich features a 1/4 lb. brisket, slow-smoked for 13 hours. It’s also topped with sweet and garlicky dill pickles and served on a toasty sesame seed bun.

These new sandwiches have a starting price of just $5.99 each (may vary by location), and you can enjoy them with the two new sauces from AC Barbecue:

Cedric’s Sweet Bussin Brown Sugar Sauce – This BBQ sauce is both sweet and tangy, made with slow-cooked brown sugar that also delivers a blend of malt and caramel flavors.
Anthony’s Spicy Chipotle Smoke Sauce – If you’re looking for an extra kick, try this smoky and spicy sauce made with chipotle peppers—a perfect choice for Arby’s signature smoky meat.

Again, the new Quarter Pound Sandwiches and Sauces will be available starting April 28 at participating Arby’s locations. Act fast because they’ll be here for a limited time only.

Burger King’s Frozen Strawberry Flavored & NERDS® Candy

A few days ago, we wrote about some Burger King locations quietly offering new frozen beverages topped with a favorite childhood candy. Today, we’re back to confirm that it’s now happening nationwide! Burger King announced the arrival of a new frozen beverage called Frozen Strawberry Flavored & NERDS® candy, and this will be available for a limited time.

So what’s special about this new frozen drink? Obviously, we have the NERDS® candy, but the drink also features an “icy blast of strawberry,” perfect for keeping your cool as the weather warms up. It’s impossible to ignore the NERDS® candy on top, adding an extra crunch and a layer of tangy goodness to the drink.

Burger King launches the new Frozen Strawberry Flavored & NERDS® candy after the successful run of other unique frozen flavors they released in the past. These include the Cotton Candy Cloud, Pink Lemonade, and Fanta Kickin’ Mango.

The fast food chain sweetens the deal by offering a FREE classic Frozen Strawberry-flavored beverage every Saturday in May, in honor of the National Strawberry Month. You can score this freebie when you purchase an item worth $1 or more via the BK app or bk.com, at participating locations and while supplies last.

Checkers & Rally’s $4 Unbeatable Meal Deal

What’s better than the $5 meal deal from McDonald’s? Checkers & Rally’s new $4 Unbeatable Meal Deal! This new fast food offering is part of the brand’s new platform called “This Eats Different, ” putting value, fun, and flavor front and center.

In partnership with creative and media agency Partners + Napier, Checkers & Rally’s proudly launches the “This Eats Different” campaign across social media, digital channels, and TV. The campaign doubles as a bold statement about the possibility of enjoying fast food without draining your wallet.

To deliver this message, Checkers & Rally’s released the new $4 Unbeatable Meal Deal. This includes a choice of Cheese Double or Spicy Chicken Sandwich, a cinnamon apple pie, value-sized Famous Seasoned Fries, and a 12 oz. drink, all for just four bucks. As per the brand, this new fast food deal serves as proof that flavor doesn’t have to break the bank and value doesn’t have to be boring. This is Checkers & Rally’s way of flipping the fast food script, and they’re inviting you to eat different.

Perkins American Food Co.’s Flavor-Packed Deals

Perkins American Food Co., known for their all-day breakfast and homestyle meals, are also ready to offer guests some real value. The brand is bringing in two limited-time offers that will make your taste buds (and wallet) cheer. Here are the deals you shouldn’t miss:

Great American Pancake Trio – This deal will let you score three fluffy pancakes in your choice of chocolate chip, buttermilk, blueberry, or strawberry flavors. Price starts at $4.99.
½ Price Appetizers – Perkins is also offering a half-price deal daily from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and again at 8 p.m. to close. It’s your chance to try the fan-favorite Build-Your-Own Sampler and mix and match picks like MozzaSticks, Fried Pickles, Onion Rings, and Chicken Strips.

From The Club

Springtime means strawberry season and I’m so excited to try Burger King‘s new Frozen Strawberry Flavored & NERDS® candy! Others have said that this is a dupe of what’s being offered at Sonic, but honestly, I’ll still try it because what’s not to love? It’s a nostalgic, strawberry-bursting drink! And as always, Checkers & Rally’s never fails to deliver value. I enjoyed the 5 for $5 meal, and I admire their bold move to release a cheaper value meal!
