The Best Fast Food Deals to Grab in May

We're a couple months into the COVID-19 pandemic, and fast food restaurants have mostly let their free delivery offers expire. There's no shortage of new limited-time specials and family meal deals, though, so it's still worth a trip to the drive-thru. (Feeling nostalgic? Check out these 20 Fast Food Restaurants Then and Now.)

Burger King has replaced their 5 for $4 meal deal with a 3 for $3 meal deal. Each meal comes with a value-sized drink and fries, plus either a double cheeseburger or the new BLT chicken junior with bacon, tomato, lettuce and mayo. There's still plenty of family bundles and other deals on their offers page, too.

Have you ever tried to recreate Taco Bell at home, but it's just not right? Now you can put together your own TB creations with the At Home Taco Bar. Everything you get comes in separate packaging, including 8 flour tortillas, 12 crunchy shells, tortilla chips, beef, lettuce, refried beans, nacho cheese sauce, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, sour cream and sauce packets. If you'd rather have your food put together for you, there's also a new $10 Cravings Pack with four crunchy tacos and four Beefy 5 Layer burritos.

Two new family meal bundles are available this month at Wendy's. There are two Feed the Fam Deals: two Double Stacks, two crispy chicken sandwiches and four small fries for $10, or two spicy chicken sandwiches, two junior bacon cheeseburgers and four small fries for $15. If nuggets are more your thing, you can also get a family size crispy or spicy nuggets for $11.

While many of the big pizza chain's best deals are for takeout only, Pizza Hut is offering a great deal for delivery since people are more reluctant to leave their homes during the pandemic. For a limited time, you can get a large 3-topping pizza for $10, available for takeout and contactless delivery.

The new $30 Fill Up deal at KFC is an extension of the popular $20 Fill Up meals but with more chicken. You get two buckets of chicken in any combination of 8-piece regular or extra crispy, or 12 chicken tenders, plus two large mashed potatoes and gravy, large coleslaw, and four biscuits. Who doesn't love eating leftover fried chicken straight out of the fridge?

The Weeklong Carryout Deal from Domino's offers endless customization. For only $7.99, you can pick from five different crust options and up to three toppings. That includes a small gluten-free crust, medium handmade pan, and large Brooklyn style, hand tossed, and thin crusts. It's available for carryout only, but you can get as many pizzas at that price as you like.

In a tribute to its hometown, Popeye's has launched a limited-time NOLA Strong Meal with all proceeds going to the Second Harvest Food Bank. The meal includes 12 pieces of chicken, two large sides, six biscuits, and a code for a free branded T-shirt and hat that you redeem on their website. And if you need something sweet after that meal, the blueberry lemon cream cheese pie is back.

Dunkin' has decided to extend its free donut Friday promotion through May. Every Friday, DD Perks members get a free donut with the purchase of a drink. The chain has also debuted new Buttery Croissant Stuffers, served warm and filled with three cheeses or chicken, bacon and cheese.

Subway is helping you feed your whole family right now with a deal where you get one free Footlong when you order two other Footlongs. There's no code or coupon needed, just order online or in-store for takeout (not delivery) to take advantage of the deal.

The chain that doesn't normally have specials rolled one out recently. Chick-fil-A's Family Meals feed four people and come with 30 chicken nuggets or four chicken sandwiches (regular or spicy). On the side, choose from four medium waffle fries, four medium mac and cheeses, or four chocolate chip cookies. Plus, you get a gallon of iced tea.

Popcorn chicken is making its debut at Jack in the Box. It comes in classic and spicy flavors a la carte or as part of the popcorn chicken box with fries, dipping sauce, and drink for $5. There's also a new $5 BBQ bacon double cheeseburger combo if chicken isn't your thing.

The 2 for $6 Everyday Value menu at Arby's includes three sandwiches: buttermilk crispy chicken, traditional Greek gyro, and the beef and cheddar. The restaurant's Drive-Thru Deals are still happening too, with a different deal, like $1 kid's meals, each week. You might also run across orange cream shakes at participating locations.

Family Bundles at Hardee's are designed to feed a family of four for $15. They come in three configurations: 12 chicken tenders and two medium fries; four big cheeseburgers and four small fries; and six chicken tenders, two double cheeseburgers and four small fries. Breakfast Family Bundles with biscuit sandwiches and hashbrowns are also available in the morning.

Dairy Queen has a mix-and-match 2 for $4 Super Snack deal going on right now. You can choose any combination from eight items: cheeseburger, 2-piece chicken strips, regular fries, pretzel sticks with queso, chili cheese dog, small sundae, Misty slush, and a soft drink.

Sonic is gearing up for summer with the release of the Red Bull summer edition slush. There's two flavors: original Red Bull slush, and watermelon Red Bull slush. Pair it with a limited-time sweet 'n tangy bacon cheeseburger with honey mustard, bacon, smokehouse cheddar and lettuce.

Del Taco is offering free delivery through three different delivery apps. On Postmates, get free delivery with no order minimum with code DELTACONOW. On Doordash, get free delivery with your first order of $15 or more. And on Grubhub, orders of $15 or more will have delivery fees waived.

Little Caesars has added a new pizza to its Hot-n-Ready lineup for a limited time. The $7 Pepperoni Cheeser! Cheeser! is a pepperoni pizza topped with fresh mozzarella on a toasted asiago-parmesan crust.

The lastest limited-time menu item at Steak 'n Shake is the pork belly Steakburger. It's a double Steakburger topped with two slices of thick cut glazed pork belly, caramelized onions, American cheese, and a savory maple bourbon sauce. There are also two new milkshakes to try: cotton candy and black raspberry chocolate chip.

While you've always been able to buy day-old bread at Jimmy John's, now you can buy it fresh as well. The 16-inch loaves can be picked up or delivered, allowing you to put off that trip to the grocery store just a little longer.

Just in time for summer, Checkers has released slushies made with Fanta. There are three to choose from: blue raspberry, fruit punch, and watermelon. You can also get the Big Surf Slushie at some locations, which mixes the blue raspberry slushie with vanilla shake and topped with a blue shark gummy.

To feed a whole bunch of people for cheap, White Castle is offering a Super Sack for a limited time. It includes 20 original sliders for $11.

To appeal to families in self-quarantine, Moe's Southwest Grill is now offering a build-your-own taco kit. For $35, you get a dozen flour tortillas, choice of two proteins, lettuce, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, rice, beans, and chips and salsa.

Zaxby's has jumped on the family meal train with limited time Zax Family Packs. There are two entree choices, 20 Chicken Fingerz (or buffalo style) or 30 boneless wings, and each comes with two large fries, four pieces of Texas toast and dipping sauce for $25 to $29.

The Family Meal Deal from Schlotzsky's is a build-your-own style for $25. You get your choice of four entrees, including medium sandwiches, pizzas and flatbread, four bags of chips and four cookies. You can get the deal after 4 p.m. at participating locations.
