McDonald's Snack Wrap Is Back. Here Are Our Other Favorite Fast Food Menu Items That Have Made a Comeback.
If you pay attention to fast food news, you probably already know that McDonald's Snack Wrap is coming back. The establishment announced last year that this beloved menu item would be showing up again after almost 10 years of being off the menu at most locations. But it wasn't until June 3, 2025, that McDonald's announced when we could have this delicious handheld snack again. Save the date: the McDonald's Snack Wrap returns on July 10.
In honor of this menu item making its way back to Mickey D's, we've created a list of all our favorite menu items that have made a comeback to fast-food restaurants. So, get ready to enjoy a trip down memory lane with these tasty fast-food items.
Taco Bell: Mexican Pizza
The Mexican Pizza is a favorite menu item at Taco Bell, but it was temporarily discontinued back in 2020. According to Taco Bell, the Mexican Pizza now has a permanent spot on the menu.
Why We Love It
The Mexican Pizza hits the spot when you're looking for something other than a taco or burrito. It comes in the original version, which includes seasoned beef, or you can order a Veggie Mexican Pizza. (If you want to make one at home, try our Mexican Pizza Copycat Recipe.)
Burger King: Chicken Fries
Burger King tried to get rid of the Chicken Fries back in 2012, replacing them with the new Chicken Strips. However, the Chicken Fries returned in 2014 and became a permanent part of the menu in 2015.
Why We Love It
The Burger King Chicken Fries are an iconic menu item we can't get enough of. They're easy to eat on the go, kids love them, and they're perfect for dipping in whatever sauce your heart desires.
McDonald's: McRib
The McRib is probably the most talked-about and sought-after menu item at McDonald's. It has a long history, dating back to the 1980s when the McRib first appeared on the McDonald's menu.
Why We Love It
After the initial release of the McRib, it was discontinued in 1985. Ever since then, it has come back periodically (and been temporarily discontinued periodically), but it always seems to make its way back to the menu for a limited time. When it returns for a limited time, it's hard to resist this nostalgic item and the tasty barbecue sauce it's drenched in.
Burger King: Cini-Minis
Anyone who visited Burger King in the 90s remembers this delicious treat. The bite-sized cinnamon rolls, known as Cini Minis at Burger King, were a popular dessert that were discontinued in 2012.
Why We Love It
What's not to love about mini cinnamon rolls? In 2024, Burger King announced it would be bringing back the Cini Minis, complete with a side of icing, but not at every location. As of June 2025, Cini Minis have only returned to Burger King locations in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, FL, with no confirmed availability elsewhere (though we can dream!)
Chick-fil-A: Side Salad
The Chick-fil-A Side Salad was supposed to be removed from the menu in 2023, but fans of this side weren't having it. Chick-fil-A went back on the decision and chose to continue serving it.
Why We Love It
Chick-fil-A waffle fries are a crowd-pleaser, but when you're looking for something a little healthier, the side salad is a good option. With the included Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing, this side has 470 calories. For a lower calorie option, you can substitute with the Light Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing or the Light Italian Dressing.
McDonald's: Spicy Chicken Nuggets
McDonald's chicken nuggets are already a popular item, but the Spicy McNuggets add another level of flavor to this tasty menu item.
Why We Love It
Much like the classic McNuggets, they're breaded in a crispy coating and best dipped in sauce. However, these nuggets have an extra kick. As of June 2025, this item is available at select locations as a limited-time offer, but according to McDonald's.
