McDonald's is rolling out mozzarella sticks at its restaurants nationwide next year.

McDonald's US President Mike Andres announced the menu addition at an investors' meeting in New York City Tuesday.

The fast-food chain started testing the fried cheese sticks in Wisconsin this summer.

McDonald's said at the time that customers wanted more snacking options.

"Our customers told us they are looking for the ability to customize their meals a little more," a franchisee told Fox 6 in July. "People are snacking more often these days and looking for more options to create a right-sized meal for them. Mini meals allow them to do just that at an amazing value."

McDonald's is charging $1 for three mozzarella sticks.

Why don't they just go the Five Guys and In N Out Burger route at this point?

 

[DiscoNaldo]

This is the exact opposite of what they should be doing. SIMPLIFY the menu.

They already have.

That might get me to go to McDonalds. Haven't gone in almost 10 years outside of like an ice cream cone.

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

I had 'em a couple times. Not too shabby, but they always seemed overpriced at 3 for a buck

I think there was a very recent thread that they are testing out some five guys competition

 

[woodypop]

We've had them around here for a while now, and they cost more than a buck. Not very good either.

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

This is really great. I love these things!

Isn't that just in the UK though?

 

[soundscream]

They stopped selling them? I could have sworn my local McDonalds still has them.

 

[TurboButts]

As a cheese stick connoisseur, I felt obligated to try them and can confirm that they are garbage.

lol jesus christ

 

[Aselith]

Those mozerella sticks are pretty good too. Arby's is better tho.

 

[Your Entertainer]

in b4 you only get like 3

 

[VendettaRed07]

This is the type of thing they should be doing. Some sort of fried food or sandwich thing for dirt cheap. Get the premium monster energy drink steak nonsense out of here

goddammit

I have never had a cheese stick.

Are these basically cheese logs breaded and deep-fried for extra carbs and oxidized fat?

Yes, and they are delicious.

You sound fun...

they tried moving in that direction. didn't help.

on the other hand, mozzarella sticks (and jalapeno poppers too now that i think about it) have been popping up at a bunch of fast food places i go to and they're generally pretty good value cuz cheap fried cheese tastes just as good as expensive fried cheese.

in b4 you only get like 3

it's literally in the op

McDonald's is charging $1 for three mozzarella sticks.

 

[Aselith]

It's a dollar.

 

[jwk94]

$1 for 3 is actually really good. Hope they launch soon.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

McMozzerela has a nice ring to it, they should've gone with that

Maybe just McMozz

They're not terribly great mozzarella sticks, but they're not terribly bad either. For $1 you could do worse. ><;

They've found my weakness.

That should be McDonalds tagline.

Sweet mother of mercy.

 

[raphier]

three sticks for a dollar? For 2e I can buy 10-16 sticks pack from a local shop

 

[bomma_man]

Australia. It's dumb. Fries come in a fucking mini deep fryer basket.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

I don't know. I'm not sure I'd go to McDonald's and say "Oh I feel like some Mozzarella Sticks". It's a really weird item to have on their menu that's for sure, although I can't think of any other fast food restaurant that has them so maybe it'll help them stand out.

Plus cooking plus sauce? c'mon now....

The generic response doesnt seem to work here

 

[kris.]

They had these a few months ago at this random McDonalds in town and I tried them and they tasted like crap and I'm pretty sure they were $2 at the time.

 

[way more]

Call me crazy but I doubt they can make proper Italian cuisine.

 

[raphier]

it comes with sweet chili sauce! cooking is easy as shit. The reason Mc declines globally is because you can get better food cheaper nowadays.

Their spaghetti was legit good...

Free gas and/or electricity aye?

 

[rpmurphy]

Who needs thawing or cooking or sauce just eat em straight out of the frozen box 16 pieces man just doesn't get better than that $1 for 3 sticks? get outta here

 

[border]

I've had them. They suck. Big surprise.

Maybe they're good if you get fresh ones, but chances are you're going to get mozzarella sticks that have been sitting under a heat lamp for 3 hours.

7-11 has mozzarella sticks too but I haven't tried them yet. I am curious whether McDonald's can make worse mozzarella sticks.

 

[RadioJoNES64]

AHHHHH

 

[Dennis]

AHHHHH

Someone explain the pic to me, I don't get it.

How are they compared to Arby's sticks?

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

You're at a loss.

 

[Aselith]

How are they compared to Arby's sticks?

Not as well seasoned and less breading they're more like the boxed kind of mozzarella sticks so definitely not as good.

 

[border]

I don't remember exactly what Arby's mozzarella sticks are like but they did not leave as bad an impression on me as the McDonald's mozzarella sticks.
