These new fast food releases are here to thrill; get your taste buds ready for a flavor explosion!
There are new fast food releases you thought you didn’t need until you see them right in front of your eyes. Yup, we’re going to talk about those kind of menu items…the ones that won’t just satisfy your hunger but will keep you coming back for more. Domino’s latest drop could be an exception, though, because it’s about time they release a stuffed crust pizza (more on this later). Now, let’s get the food party started and unwrap the future of flavor with these latest releases!
Cracker Barrel
Looks like spring came in a little early at Cracker Barrel as the restaurant unveils a new lineup of sweet and savory menu releases. But really, who’s complaining if sweet fluffy pancakes and Southern-inspired entrees are on the menu? That’s right, Cracker Barrel’s spring lineup includes these mouthwatering options:
- OREO Stuffed Cheesecake Pancakes – The buttery pancakes with crispy edges are layered with creamy cheesecake filling, topped with whipped cream, OREO cookie pieces, and chocolate drizzle. These pancakes are served with two eggs and your choice of either smoked sausage or thick-cut sliced bacon, for just $12.49.
- Signature Pancake Platters – Looking for more pancake goodness? Cracker Barrel is giving you more of it with the Signature Pancake Platters in the following flavors: Fresh Strawberry, Chocolate Chip, Blueberry, Pecan, Country Peach, and Cinnamon Spiced Apples. The platters are served with eggs cooked to order and a choice of bacon or sausage.
- Louisiana-Style Shrimp Skillet – This savory dish features grilled shrimp in a zesty creole sauce, served with your choice of two Country sides and grilled parmesan bread perfect for dipping. Priced at $14.99.
- Shrimp n’ Grits – This new menu item is also made with shrimp and creole sauce, but with the addition of sweet onions, celery, and red peppers, served over creamy grits and with grilled parmesan bread. Priced at $14.99.
These new spring-themed menu items from Cracker Barrel are available at participating locations nationwide, for a limited time only. Prices may vary by location.
Domino’s
Meanwhile, Domino’s is stirring up conversations among fans and not-so-fans as the pizza chain decides to drop its very own stuffed crust pizza. Finally, Domino’s will be offering the Parmesan Stuffed Crust, available in medium size only. The pizza will be made with freshly baked garlic buttered crust, stuffed with mozzarella cheese and with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top. Fans are loving this extra, cheesy detail, by the way! Additionally, the new stuffed crust pizza comes with your choice of topping.
Drooling now? Sadly, Domino’s Parmesan Stuffed Crust isn’t available just yet. We’d have the wait a couple more days because it’s speculated to drop in March at Domino’s locations nationwide. For now, indulge yourself in a fast food deal that satisfies your pizza cravings. Domino’s is still running a promo for any topping and any crust of pizza for only $9.99 each, until March 2, 2025 only.
Hungry Howie’s
We’re letting you in on a secret…and it’s about the secret menu of Hungry Howie’s! Known for inventing the flavored crust pizza, the chain is making your next meal exciting with the addition of Hangry Howie on the secret menu. So what’s Hangry Howie, you ask?
Hangry Howie is a large pizza that features the original fresh dough and your choice of flavored crust. It’s topped with premium mozzarella cheese, red onions, Italian sausage, and green and mild peppers for that right amount of heat. The secret menu item is available exclusively for delivery and carry out orders only, and you can get it for $15.99 by using the promo code “HANGRY” upon checkout. The promo code is accessible via the brand’s mobile app and website.
If you wish to purchase the Hangry Howie in-store, you can do so by using the digital ordering channels or by scanning the QR code you’ll find inside the restaurant. The Hangry Howie pizza is available at participating locations nationwide.
Wienerschnitzel
Wienerschnitzel also unveiled new craveable fast food releases that won’t break the bank. Let’s start with the return of their popular Chili Cheese Fries Burrito lineup, ready to make your next meal crazy good (and hot)! Priced at just $1.99 each, the Chili Cheese Fries Burritos come in the following varieties:

From The Club
I have to say that this roundup of fast food releases got that right balance of flavors. There’s sweet, savory, and mildly spicy to satisfy any craving. Also, I’m definitely getting that Parmesan Stuffed Crust from Domino’s once it’s officially released. That stuffed crust option is long overdue. For now, though, I’ll pay a visit to the nearest Cracker Barrel store because those OREO and cheesecake-flavored pancakes are the stuff of my dreams!
