New Limited-Time Offers You Can’t Miss
March isn’t just all about the basketball season. We also have St. Paddy’s Day just around the corner, the Lent season, and of course, the highly anticipated Spring. If you haven’t been keeping up with the latest fast food news, you’re missing out on some of the boldest, most refreshing flavors this year! Here are the latest releases foodies can’t stop talking about:
- IHOP’s Bananas Foster Pancakes – New month, new pancake flavor to devour at IHOP! This time, we have the Bananas Foster pancakes that will surely make you “go bananas” if you enjoy it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Each order will give you 4 buttermilk pancakes loaded and topped with banana slices, and finished with Foster sauce. If you’re looking for a little more sweetness, IHOP also introduced a new frozen treat: Ulti-Mint Milkshake, combining the delectable flavors of mint, chocolate, and vanilla. This is available until March 31 only.
- Panera Bread’s Pot of Gold – You’re getting lucky this month of March with a limited-time offer from Panera! The Pot of Gold is the brand’s iconic Bread Bowl, but in the shade of festive green, brimming with creamy mac & cheese. If that doesn’t sound like a true gold, I don’t know what is! Available on March 16 and 17 at select Panera Bread locations.
- Bojangles’ Bojangler Fish Sandwich – Bojangles is bringing back a great catch this seafood season. But that’s not all, because the Bojangler Fish Sandwich also gets a new Deluxe Version!

From The Club
Indeed, March Madness isn’t just all about basketball. Even someone like me who isn’t fan of the sports is excited for the event because of all these delicious fast food deals! 😂 I admire Shake Shack for introducing a fun way to engage with sports fans (I’m #teamchicken, by the way). Smashburger is also generous for offering deals in the course of three weeks, which is a lot of time to try out their new offerings. Of course, for a wider range of fast food deals, you can never go wrong with checking Grubhub!
