Check out these new crave-worthy menu items that will make your May even better!
May is an abundance of new releases and deals that we can’t even choose what and where to eat next. Today is another day for a new batch of releases from your favorite fast food spots, and we’re bringing in even more options to choose from. First up, we’ve got Denny’s new menu items if ever you’re craving an all-day breakfast. Then there’s Wendy’s offering a BOGO deal meant for National Biscuit Day, among other chains that also released something new to our tastebuds! 👀
As we wait for summer, let’s indulge in these delights! Who knows? You might even find the flavor of your summer.
Arby’s
After White Castle’s collab with shoe brand Heelys, Arby’s is entering in with a new fashion drip for us just in time for National Barbecue Day on May 16. The brand is launching the 13 Hour Drip, which is a limited edition clothing wear designed in collaboration with Chain. The outfit is designed to be crafted at the intersection of design and function as a button-down shirt and matching shorts made from napkins! It’s created to protect your actual clothes from BBQ sauce as you munch on BBQ on the special holiday.
The 13 Hour Drip is released as part of the launch of Arby’s new BBQ lineup of The Quarter Pound Brisket and Quarter Pound Pulled Pork Sandwich. It’s a nod to the thirteen hours of making a BBQ. The 13 Hour Drip Fit is available now on 13hrdripfit.com for a limited time until supplies last.
Denny’s
The 4th of July celebration may be a few months away, but Denny’s is already waving a variety of new menu items to try.

They’re available now at participating Denny’s locations nationwide for a limited time.

El Pollo Loco
Leading fire-grilled chicken restaurant El Pollo Loco is asking customers if they prefer their salad wrapped or unwrapped. With this, the brand is unveiling two limited-time picks made for guests looking for flavorful meals made with quality ingredients that can be enjoyed on the go.
These new menu items are none other than the new Fresca Salads and Wraps. They feature unique flavor profiles since they’re available as a freshly-made traditional salad in a bowl or wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. Check out their flavors:
- Citrus Avocado Fresca Salad – Features a super green blend of spinach and crisped lettuce. The salad is topped with a citrus-marinated and fire-grilled chopped chicken breast. There’s also hand-sliced avocado, crumbled cojita cheese, shredded red cabbage and carrots, all filled with salsa fresca. It is served together with the signature citrus vinaigrette made with lime, lemon, and orange. You can get them in a Fresca Wrap made with a whole wheat tortilla.
- Mexican Cobb Fresca Salad – Filled with spinach and crisp lettuce, topped with a double portion of citrus-marinated and fire-grilled chopped chicken breast. There’s also some hand-sliced avocado, bacon, roasted corn, red pepper, and crumbled cojita cheese. It is served together with creamy cilantro dressing. The Mexican Cobb Fresca Salad is also available as a Fresca Wrap with a whole wheat tortilla wrap.
The prices for the à la carte Fresca Salad and wraps range from $9.00 to $12.00, although note that they vary per location. Also, the new Citrus Vinaigrette dressing will become a new permanent menu item beyond the limited time.
These Fresco Salads are also a part of the brand’s ad spot featuring a brand refresh. The ad spot will include a close-up shot of the salads and wraps with bright colors and angles, giving off a modern and energetic tone.

From The Club
Speaking of brunch, I would love to have every single menu item from Denny’s new releases! Specifically, I’m excited for the Red, White, & Berry Pancake Slam. Aside from that, a Cookie Dough Lover’s Pie looks like the ultimate Friday prize after surviving a tiring week, after munching on a filling Bacon Ranch Cheeseburger.
