Burger King has brought back a popular side dish with a noticeable change. Customers are thrilled with the comeback, praising the new version as tastier than before.
Burger King's Mozzarella Fries Return: Fan Favorite with a New Twist
On May 18, Burger King reintroduced mozzarella fries to the menu, and customers are ecstatic about their return.
In recent years, the fried cheese sticks have been an on-again, off-again staple of the fast-food chain's menu. This time, customers observed that the sticks are slimmer than before, and some believe this has enhanced the flavor.
On a Reddit forum dedicated to fast food, one commenter mentioned, "These are much better than the previous version. You can really taste the seasoning."
Another user noted the improvements, saying, "They're like mozzarella sticks but crispier, addressing the old ones' issue of being too soggy. Definitely worth trying."
A third user added, "They taste different now, thinner and more flavorful. The cheese is also fresh and stretchy."
Mozzarella fries come in orders of four, eight, or twelve pieces, with prices varying by location. Each order includes a marinara sauce for dipping.
Burger King describes the revamped item as "the Mozzarella Sticks you love, now made to enjoy on the go." This menu addition might remind some of the chicken fries that debuted on the Burger King menu in 2005.
Other fast food chains that sell mozzarella fries include Arby's, Sonic, and Culver's.
