White Castle's new Garlic Parm Chicken Slider, topped with crispy onions and roasted garlic parm sauce, is available through August 23. The chain also brings back Garlic Cheese and adds a permanent Southwest Veggie Slider.
White Castle is rolling out its newest limited-time offering, the Garlic Parm Chicken Slider, as part of a broader summer menu push. The slider, topped with crispy onions and a roasted garlic parm sauce made from Parmesan, Asiago, and Romano cheeses, is available at participating locations through August 23 or while supplies last. It starts at $2.59, with a $6.99 combo that includes two sliders, three-piece Mozzarella Sticks, and a small soft drink.
The move comes as the chain also brings back its Garlic Cheese option, which can be added to any slider on the menu. And there is a new permanent item: the Southwest Veggie Slider, featuring a Dr. Praeger's veggie patty with sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, red bell peppers, onions, and carrots, seasoned with smoky chipotle and sweet BBQ flavors. It is served with jalapeño cheese on a slider bun.
White Castle's chief marketing officer, Jamie Richardson, framed the Garlic Parm Chicken Slider as a natural extension of the brand's flavor strategy. "There's nothing quite like the moment a new flavor just works, and garlic parm and onions on our Crispy Chicken Slider is one of those moments," he said in a statement.
The limited-time nature of the Garlic Parm Chicken Slider creates a clear urgency window. The chain is also using its Craver Nation Rewards loyalty program to drive trial: members can get a free Garlic Parm Chicken Slider through June 21, and those who buy one will receive a free three-piece Mozzarella Sticks through August 23.
White Castle operates 336 restaurants and has a retail division selling frozen sliders in grocery stores. The company owns its own meat plants, bakeries, and frozen-slider retail plants. It has been recognized as a Great Place to Work for five consecutive years and was named one of the "10 Most Innovative Dining Companies" by Fast Company in 2021.
The summer menu push is a bet on bold flavors and limited-time scarcity to drive traffic. The Garlic Parm Chicken Slider's run ends August 23, giving the chain roughly two months to gauge customer response before deciding whether to extend or retire the item.
