👍 Why These Work as Quick Meals / Snacks
- Speed & convenience — items like hash browns, biscuits, taquitos or junior burgers are easy to eat quickly or on the go, great for busy days or late-night hunger.
- Lighter portions / lower cost — smaller size or simple components means they’re often cheaper and lighter than large burgers or full combos.
- Flexibility & customization — many of these items can be ordered “a la carte” (just the snack/side) without combos or extras — you choose if you want something small or add more.
- Variety for different cravings — whether you want savory (hash browns, egg sandwich), spicy/cheesy (jalapeño-cheddar biscuit), or a quick burger fix (junior burger), there’s a snack-style option.
