Lent and spring just got tastier with these new menu releases that are ready to impress!
March is such a busy month for all of us, but we don’t have to get lost in all the preparations needed for spring-themed gatherings, Lenten feasts, and even St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Take a break and bite into the mouthwatering mix of new menu items from your favorite fast food places and restaurants. Whether you’re looking for something light, crispy, fresh, or downright indulgent, this roundup of new menu releases is the perfect place to start!
Burger King
Burger King is bringing back a fan-favorite item that you shouldn’t let off the hook, the Fiery Big Fish Sandwich! This fiery favorite is turning up the heat this Spring and Lent seasons, available starting today, March 6, 2025, at all participating BK locations.
So what’s special again about the Fiery Big Fish Sandwich? Here’s a quick refresher: the sandwich is a spicy take on a classic BK item, featuring white Alaskan Pollock coated in panko breadcrumbs. On a brioche bun, this crispy breaded fish is layered with spicy glaze, sweet tartar sauce, pickles, and lettuce. What’s not to love?
Additionally, if you’re a Royal Perks member, you wouldn’t want to miss out on this offer: from March 5 to April 20, catch the Original Big Fish for only $2, when you purchase another classic Big Fish at full price.

Meanwhile, Buffalo Wild Wings is gearing up for the NCAA tournament. As the Official Sports Bar of March Madness®, the restaurant is introducing these new menu offerings:
- Two new sandwiches

Carvel
To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, Carvel is also bringing back a crowd-favorite: Cookie O’Puss Cake! According to the brand, it’s the ultimate festive treat to make celebrations and gifting extra lucky. The returning Cookie O’Puss Cake is now available at all participating Carvel locations, while supplies last.
To refresh your mind, here’s what we love about Carvel’s Cookie O’Puss Cake: layers of chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate crunchies. On top of that, you get a scoop of pistachio or mint ice cream in a sugar cone, but that’s not all…because the cake also comes with two chocolate chip cookies, and festive white and green whipped topping!
Carvel also recently released a “match made in soft serve,” featuring The Original Soft Serve and Biscoff®’s caramelized cookie. You can enjoy this heavenly flavor combination in scoop, sundae dasher, ice cream pop, and more, for a limited time only, so don’t miss out!

From The Club
March is giving us seriously delicious new menu releases, and I’m here for all of it! While I’m (still) not a fan of spicy foods, that Fiery Big Fish Sandwich from Burger King sounds like a good catch (pun intended). On the other hand, Nutella® on my croissant? I can have that any time, any day, lol! I’m so happy Paris Baguette is bringing back the chocolate hazelnut spread on its menu, because something sweet and indulgent would be nice this spring.
