This year has brought us a lot of things. We’ve cried, we’ve laughed, and we ate… a lot! Sometimes the biggest scandals make us forget about some of the other things that have happened in a year. You try new restaurants, try new recipes to cook, and our favorite fast food spots are always adding new things to the menu. Whether it’s for a limited time or permanent additions, we’ve seen some great fast food items in 2025. But what’s been your favorite?
With the help of The TakeOut, we’re looking at some of the best items to come to fast food in 2025. That’s everything from new treats and new sauces to the return of some nostalgic favorites. If you missed any of these and they’re still available, then now is your time to try!
Taco Bell Mike’s Hot Honey Diablo Sauce
Starting off strong is the addition of Mike’s Hot Honey Diablo Sauce. This was released alongside their nuggets as a favorite dip option. It was a spicy twist on their signature Diablo sauce, just taking things up a few notches. You can use it pretty much on anything!
Pizza Hut Spicy Hawaiian Lover
Now, this one can be controversial. For those who love pineapple on their pizza, the spicy Hawaiian from Pizza Hut may have been a dream come true. Just think about it: pineapple, jalapeno, and red chili fakes all on a crust. YUM!
McDonald’s Snack Wrap
What a classic! After a decade away, McDonald’s brought back their famous snack wraps! Customers raged and begged for years for the snack wrap’s return, and 2025 is the year we got them back! Get it original or spicy for an extra little kick!
Kentucky Fried Chicken Potato Wedges
Now, this was a personal favorite. The return of the beloved KFC potato wedges. When these disappeared a few years ago, people were not happy. But KFC finally listened and brought back its classic potato wedges to the menu.
McDonald’s Grinch Meal
The holidays always call for cool menu items, and this year was no different. McDonald’s took a holiday classic and brought a “Grinch Meal” to life. The meal came with a pair of socks and Dill Pickle McShaker Fries as an extra Grinchy bite to your McDonald’s bite.
There were quite a few items to return to menus or to make an appearance for the first time. Did you try all of the ones listed above? Check out the full TakeOut article here to see what other fast food items made their debut in 2025.

Oak Park fave Pink Garlic Indian Cuisine has opened a new location.
Pink Garlic’s second location is at 18625 Ecorse Rd., Allen Park, offering both dine-in and carryout.
The Allen Park Downtown Development Authority and city officials gathered Tuesday, March 19 as Pink Garlic owner Alfy Rayman cut the ceremonial ribbon for the restaurant’s grand opening.
Rayman says the original Pink Garlic location in Oak Park, which opened in 2021 and is carryout only, was popular with Allen Park residents. While small, the Allen Park location has seats for about 30 diners.
“I have a lot of customers who travel all the way from Allen Park to Oak Park to have our food, so that made me [want] to come here,” he says. “There is no good Indian restaurant in this area and we thought this community deserves a good, authentic curry house.”
Like the original location, the new Pink Garlic’s menu features an extensive lineup of Indian and Indo-Chinese staples like lamb, goat, and chicken biryani, orange chicken, momos, and tandoori chicken.
Aside from already having a customer base, Rayman says Allen Park is a multicultural community that made him feel welcome.
Hours for the Allen Park Pink Garlic are 11:45 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. every day except Friday when it opens at 3 p.m., Rayman tells us.
Pink Garlic also has a third location planned for Shelby Township at 48935 Hayes Rd., according to the restaurant’s website. The opening date has not been set for that location yet.
The time has come for Oak Park to bear witness to the greatness that is Pie Sci pizza.
The company is officially opening the doors to its Oak Park location at 8140 W. Nine Mile Rd. on Saturday. This is the pizza joint’s second location following its original outpost on Trumbull in Detroit.
The Oak Park Pie Sci will be open five days a week with a limited menu for now. Vegan and gluten-free options will be available according to a post on Pie Sci’s Instagram page.
Pie Sci has made a name for itself with its DIY aesthetic and stoner-friendly pizzas with wacky topping combinations.
