10 Secret Menu Items at Famous Chain Restaurants You Must Try

Jalapeno Bites

AUTHOR: Rebecca Holcomb

Everyone, everywhere, has their likes and dislikes about which chain restaurants they prefer. I like Burger King, Arby's, and Wendy's for fast food and Outback Steakhouse and Applebee's for something more traditional. And when it comes to specialty items, we know all our favorites. If you're looking for a new hotspot, we recommend these ten exclusive goodies for your next road trip or last-minute lunch run.

1. Chick-Fil-A Nuggets

If you're looking for minimalist nuggets without the leftover oil taste, Chick-fil-A is the place to get them. Much more like real chicken nuggets than the highly processed, dry, and chewy tragedies most fast-food chains offer, they prioritize flavor, offering both original and grilled options.

2. Outback Steakhouse Bloomin' Onion

The first time I ever had a bloomin' onion from Outback Steakhouse, I had just had dental work done, and it was not the experience I was hoping for. When I went back, however, the flavor profile alone was exceptional and worth the wait, not to mention the dipping sauce that accompanies this fun appetizer.

3. Checkers Fry-Seasoned Monsterella Stix

Checkers, or Rally's, depending on where you live, has a killer side item known as Monsterella Stix. Seasoned with their signature fry seasoning, these warm, gooey cheese sticks are perfect any time of the year.

4. Hungry Howie's No-Dough Bowl

Having taken my children to a restaurant or two, I know about picky eaters. And even my pickiest eater can't deny a warm, cheesy personal pizza. Chili's offers cheese and pepperoni to please any child guest you know.

A sweet combination of sweet potatoes, autumn spices, honey cornbread pieces, and cranberry sauce swirls is the decadent Thanksgiving treat you didn't know you needed. Only available for a limited time, be sure to get yours before the season's out.

9. Bob Evans Signature Coleslaw

When it comes to side dishes that I feel are mainly "American," none tops my list more than coleslaw. Cabbage, carrots, and a tangy, sweet sauce combine to make an excellent pairing for hot dogs, burgers, ribs, or pork chops, so grab a fork and enjoy!

10. Red Lobster's Crab Queso Dip

If ever two things belonged together, it's succulent crab meat and queso cheese. This beautiful and savory cheese dip is not to be missed if you go to Red Lobster. It'll sit idly by, waiting for you to take a taste and never be the same again.
