Burger King New ‘Mandalorian’ Menu, Ranked

The limited-time menu features a new version of the Whopper, new chicken fries, cheddar ranch tots, a new garlic dipping sauce, and a new cookie-flavored milkshake.

It was released at participating restaurants across the US on May 4, which is also recognized as Star Wars Day (thanks to the pun “May the Fourth be with you,” a play on “May the Force be with you”).

The Bounty Bundle, which includes all five items and a collector’s cup, retails for $19.99 at my local Burger King in Brooklyn, New York, though prices vary by location.

While chicken fries have been a mainstay on the Burger King menu since 2015, this version features a new seasoning made with Parmesan cheese and garlic, served in a Grogu-themed carton and with a new garlic-flavored dipping sauce.

Grogu’s Garlic Chicken Fries cost $4.99, excluding tax, at my local Burger King when not included in the bundle.

The chicken fries were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, with a solid, well-seasoned flavor. That said, they didn’t stand out much from Burger King’s regular chicken fries — the garlic and Parmesan seasoning added a slight boost, but not enough to make them feel entirely new.

It was rich, creamy, and packed with a bold garlic punch that added way more depth than I expected, elevating the chicken fries and making each bite feel more indulgent and memorable.

The dipping sauce comes with every order of Grogu’s Garlic Chicken Fries.

These perfectly fried balls of fried cheddar cheese and potatoes were tossed in ranch seasoning and served in a themed carton.

They cost $2.99 when not included in the bundle.

Slightly similar to the cheesy bacon tots included in the chain’s “SpongeBob SquarePants” meal collaboration in December, these tots were crispy on the outside yet soft and cheesy on the inside.

I would definitely order these again as part of the meal, or as a snack — and for less than $3, I thought they were a great value.

The new Whopper came served in a new, “Star Wars” branded clamshell box, a pleasantly surprising addition to the menu since Burger King updated its signature burger in February.

The BBQ Bounty Whopper costs $8.59, excluding tax, at my local Burger King.

The new barbecue burger was hefty, and I was excited to see how the flavors would come together.

The item seemed on trend, too: Barbecue sauce is having a moment in fast food, as chains lean into bold, yet nostalgic, flavors to make menu items feel new and craveable while still approachable.

Popeyes also just launched two new Honey BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, and Shake Shack recently released its Smoky BBQ menu for summer, featuring a new BBQ Boneless Baby Back Rib Sandwich and the Smoky Classic BBQ Burger.

“People are looking for nostalgia and comfort and familiarity,” Burger King’s vice president of culinary, Amy Alarcon, told Business Insider. “I think there are those retro flavors and retro trends that we’re capturing really well right now.”

The flame-grilled patty brought that signature smoky flavor that always makes a Whopper stand out, while the fresh lettuce, tomato, and onions added a crisp, refreshing balance.

The crispy pickle chips added dynamic flavor and texture, while the barbecue sauce added just the right amount of creamy, yet tangy, barbecue flavor.

Altogether, it felt like a meaningful upgrade to an already solid classic — one that I’d genuinely want to see stick around on the menu long after the “Star Wars” promotion has gone.
