McDonald’s Is Bringing Back The Fan-Favorite Snack Wrap: Find Out When

Author Jen Glorioso

McDonald’s is hinting that they may bring back the popular menu item: the snack wrap. In a recent report and press conference, the fast food company addressed the customer’s love for chicken meals. This led to plans to expand their chicken options on their menu. But fans might have to wait a while to get their hands on the fan-favorite snack.

The snack wrap was introduced in 2006 and has been discontinued since about 2016, despite pleas from fans to bring it back. The company ditched it from its menu because employees said it was too complicated to make and would hold up the service line. Recently, almost every one of McDonald’s competitors has launched their own version of the snack wrap. Wendy’s kicked it off with their version, which is more a full entrée than a “snack” item. Burger King also launched their version of the snack wrap. They have 3 different ways to order, classic, spicy, and honey mustard. Those are more on par with what used to be on McDonald’s menu and are currently selling for less than $3 a wrap.

When can we expect the McDonald’s snack wrap to come back?

Fans shouldn’t hold their breath as they will have to wait a while for the snack wrap to come back on the menu. To compete with other chicken businesses, McDonald’s plans to expand its chicken items. Business Insider tells us “This includes plans to offer McCrispy in nearly all markets around the world by the end of 2025 and to expand McCrispy into wraps and tenders.” This means they could test it early in some markets, but you can expect it everywhere in 2025. McDonald’s also plans to expand to 50,000 restaurants by the end of 2027.

5 Restaurants That Need To Open Locations In Tampa

It’s no secret that we have some of the best dining options in the Tampa Bay area. And it seems like more and more companies are expanding to the southeast/Florida in general. But there are a handful of really great restaurants that are missing in our area. Whether it’s fast food or a sit-down restaurant, we think these restaurants need to make their way to Tampa.

One honorary mention that we left off the list is Del Taco. There’s a location in Orlando that we always stop at whenever we go to the theme parks or a concert. Earlier this year the news broke that the Tampa Bay area could possibly be getting several Del Taco locations. But things have been quiet since a press release went out earlier this year. Other big chains that have made their way to Tampa include Dave’s Hot Chicken, Dutch Bros (coming soon), Raising Cane’s, and a few others.

When you travel to other states do you try to stick with restaurants you know? Or are you willing to try something new? We’ve tried all the places on our list and have wished we would see a Tampa location open ever since. Even though we always try to eat at local restaurants in Tampa, sometimes it’s easier to order takeout or visit a drive-thru. One of the biggest requests in the Tampa area is In-N-Out. Although some may see the burger chain as over-hyped, we think a Tampa location would do really well. Any places we missed on our list? Feel free to shout it out on social media and maybe we’ll add it! We got our inspiration from Creative Loafing after we noticed a few places on their list have made it to Tampa.

Here Are 5 Restaurants That Need To Open Locations In The Tampa Bay Area

  • In-N-Out

    Obviously the first on our list is In-N-Out. Everyone has their own opinion on the west coast burger chain. Some think it’s overrated, and some think it’s the best fast-food burger out there.

  • Cook Out

    We’re surprised that one of the biggest fast-food chains in the south hasn’t made it’s way to Florida AT ALL! Cook Out has a stacked menu of everything you could want with those old school fast food prices. Plus they have over 30 milkshake flavors. Can we start a petition to bring Cook Out to Tampa?

  • Giordano’s

    This is for all the deep dish pizza lovers. Although there are some great local spots that make an awesome deep dish pie, nothing beats Giordano’s. They do ship frozen pizzas across the country but we need a Tampa location!

  • Bojangles

    We get that we have Chick-Fil-A, Popeye’s, Zaxby’s, Raising Canes, etc. But would one more chicken restaurant really hurt? There are already a handful of locations in Florida, but the closest one to Tampa is in Sanford, just a little north of Orlando.

  • Snooze Eatery

    This breakfast place is SO good! We are BEGGING for a Florida location, even if it means we have take a drive from Tampa. Snooze Eatery is spread across the southern half of the U.S. with locations in Colorado, Texas, Arizona, California, and even Georgia.
