McDonald's 'best ever' burger has made a comeback as part of of new major shake up
Maccies fans, rejoice: an all-time favourite is making a comeback.
The fast food giant has announced a new menu ready for summer 2025, with a few exciting additions and some pained goodbyes to departing delicacies.
As of May 7th 2025, the Steakhouse Stack is making a long-awaited return. It proved a major hit the last time it graced your local McDonald’s, with fans taking to social media to rave about it.
“Just tried the @McDonaldsUK Steakhouse Stack what a great burger nice to have something new to try every now and then!” said one X user.

Another gushed: “Had a steakhouse stack from McDonald's the other day. It has #revolutionised my life.”
“The Steakhouse Stack is probably my new favourite McDonalds burger,” noted another satisfied customer.
The Steakhouse Stack is available from £5.99 for the standalone burger, although of course you can bundle it into a meal too. It features two 100% British and Irish beef patties, a slice of cheddar, crispy onions, red onion, lettuce leaves and a black peppercorn sauce garnish. Lip-smacking to say the least.
Unfortunately, Ronald giveth and he taketh away. Here’s a rundown of the menu items that are bowing out as we head into the summer.
Minecraft Meal
The movie tie-in Happy Meal, complete with six collectible toys, is no longer available.
The Happy Meal was actually designed with adults in mind, with an ‘adult’ Happy Meal priced at £8.19 while the kids’ version came in at £3.99.
Mars McFlurry
There’s no shortage of McFlurry options, but sadly we’re saying goodbye to the Mars Bar-oriented one. Oreo, Maltesers and Smarties are here to stay, and a Biscoff option has rolled into town to replace the Mars.
Philly Cheese Stack
This town ain’t big enough for two steak-inspired burgers, and so we’re waving goodbye to the Philly Cheese Stack burger.
Inspired by the classic Philly Cheesesteak, this one also featured two beef patties, melted cheese, crispy onions, pickles and a cheese sauce for £6.99. Hopefully it’s ‘see you later’ rather than ‘goodbye’.
McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse
There are plenty of chicken burger options at McDonald’s, so at least there are other delicious options to go for now we’re being deprived of the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse.
This one featured a crispy-coated chicken breast, cheddar, red onion, lettuce and BBQ sauce in a sesame sourdough-style bun.
Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie
This riff on and old classic is also making way for the new menu items. Priced at £1.99, this is a rasperry and white chocolate variant of the apple piece that was introduced as Valentine’s special.
What else can say ‘love’ quite like a pink, deep-fried roll of sugar?
What's new at Maccies?
Along with the Steakhouse Stack, there are a few more incoming menu items to salivate over.
First is the aforementioned Biscoff McFlurry making a comeback a year after it last left stores, priced at £2.29 for the regular and £1.69 for the mini. There’s also a Biscoff Frappe on the cards, with the drink available for £3.09.
A refreshing blast has also entered the fray in the shape of the Frozen Cherry Lemonade. This iced drink will be a delicious way to stave off the summer heat, and it’s only £2.99.
Finally, there’s a Frank’s RedHot collaboration on the menu that’s spawned a few extra options. One is the McSpicy X Frank's RedHot burger, consisting of a hot and crispy chicken breast, cheese, lettuce, Emmental, jalapeños, onions, and a dollop of Frank’s RedHot Mayo for £5.99.
The mayo is also available separately for all your dunking needs.
