Fast food chains are great for many reasons. Not only is stopping by your closest McDonald’s for a McCrispy Strips and an iced cold Diet Coke or Taco Bell for a Crunchwrap convenient, but the menus are filled with tasty food bound to keep you full and your taste buds satisfied. Plus, these restaurants are always surprising customers with new menu items and deals you can’t beat.
One popular chain that has added a number of mouthwatering items to its menu this past year is Jack in the Box. Known for its surprisingly delicious mini tacos and savory burgers, the restaurant has expanded its menu to include limited-time offerings that fans instantly fell in love with.
And for a few months, fans have been begging for the return of one cheesy item with an irresistible kick—and Jack in the Box finally listened.
Jack in the Box Brings Back Its Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks for a Limited Time
After months without them, Jack in the Box has finally brought back a fan-favorite item: Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks. Since it was taken off the menu, fans have pleaded for its return all over social media, with many asking, “Why did Jack in the Box stop making Nashville Hot mozzarella sticks?” one customer wrote on X. “I almost cried last night.”
The mozzarella sticks were first introduced to customers nationwide in April as part of its new Nashville Hot menu, which also included the Nashville Hot Popcorn Chicken. The restaurant put its own spin on the classic appetizer, adding bold Nashville Hot flavor and serious heat to the cheesy, breaded sticks we all know and love. They’re taken up a notch with a cool, creamy Buttermilk Ranch dip on the side.
Jack in the Box shared the news on Instagram with the caption, “You asked. We listened. The Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks are BACK,” and touted them as “One of the most requested items ever.”
Followers were more than excited about it, and rightfully so. “I know what I’m eating for dinner tonight,” one person commented. Another said, “Thank you, Jack. I’ve been waiting for these bad boys.” Someone else begged, “Please keep these as a permanent item on the menu.”
When ordering the Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks, you can choose from four or six sticks, which come with the Buttermilk ranch dip that takes a bit of the heat off of each bite. Starting at just $3.50, you’ll want to head to your closest Jack in the Box before Jan. 5 to enjoy the crispy, cheesy, and fiery appetizer since it will only be available for a limited time. While you’re there, you can add on an Oreo Shake for dessert to cool your mouth down even more.
