Arby's announces return of Steak Nuggets and new menu items

Arby's has announced the nationwide return of its Steak Nuggets as a limited-time offering for 2026. The bite-sized steak pieces, which were first introduced in late 2025, are seasoned with garlic and black pepper.

The menu relaunch includes several new and returning items. A new Steak ‘n Potato Bowl will feature the nuggets alongside crispy potatoes and cheese sauce, while the Steak ‘n Mac Bowl returns with white cheddar mac ‘n cheese and crispy onions. To accompany the nuggets, the chain is introducing a new Horsey Ranch dipping sauce, which combines buttermilk ranch with horseradish.

While the return has generated interest, the product has previously received mixed consumer reviews. Some social media commentary has been critical of the item, though the company is introducing the new sauce to address previous feedback regarding the meat's moisture levels.
