Carl’s Jr. introduces ‘More Bang, Less Buck’ value menu

Carl’s Jr. has introduced a new value menu, joining a growing number of fast-food chains choosing to offer more low-cost food items as inflation continues to impact customers’ wallets.

The “More Bang, Less Buck” menu includes a total of 10 options, including four new burgers.


Here’s what the menu includes:
• Cali Jr. (New)
• Jalapeno Jr. (New)
• Bacon Cheese Jr. (New)
• Guac Jr. (New)
• Spicy Chicken Sandwich
• 6pc Chicken Stars
• Small Drink
• Small Natural Cut French Fries
• Chocolate Chip Cookie
• Chocolate Cake

“Carl’s Jr. guests won’t settle for any old value meal – they want bold, craveable flavors, all without breaking the bank,” Anthony Nguyen, Carl’s Jr. vice president of brand marketing, said in a statement “More Bang, Less Buck offers the bold ingredients Carl’s Jr is known for, like crispy bacon, fresh guacamole and fiery jalapenos, and we’re really proud to deliver a budget-conscious menu that doesn’t sacrifice on adventurous flavors.”

The burger chain also announced that its testing new items like avocado shakes, ghost-pepper burgers and an everything bagel lineup in select markets. Fan-favorites like the El Diablo, Teriyaki and Spicy Western Bacon Cheeseburger will also be returning this year.

Carl’s Jr. is the latest to offer a value meal in recent months.

For example, Buffalo Wild Wings is offering a $19.99 all-you-can-eat deal on boneless wings and fries on Wednesdays, McDonald’s has extended its $5 meal deal and Taco Bell revamped its Cravings value Menu to include 10 menu items for $3 or less.

The “More Bang, Less Buck” menu is launching in more than 500 Carl’s Jr. restaurants and is expected to debut at more locations nationwide this fall.
