Just in time for the theatrical release of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 on December 5, Popeyes has rolled out a limited-time Freddy Fazbear Crunch Menu that brings the eerie energy of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria to its restaurants. The collaboration with Blumhouse’s horror sequel marks Popeyes’ first major movie tie-in, and it’s already generating buzz for its bold flavors and playful presentation. The menu launched November 17, 2025, and is available at participating U.S. locations while supplies last.

What’s on the Freddy Fazbear Crunch Menu

The themed offerings include two bundle options and several à la carte items:

Freddy Fazbear Deluxe Box ($12.99)

3 classic or spicy chicken tenders topped with garlic parmesan rub
Cheesy Bites with marinara dipping sauce
A Cupcake Cup with strawberry flavor and spooky sprinkles
A drink

Freddy Fazbear Box ($7.99)

Same chicken tenders and Cheesy Bites, minus the dessert and drink

À la Carte Add-ons

Cheesy Bites with Marinara ($3.99)
Cupcake Cup ($2.99)

The Cheesy Bites are described as crispy, gooey, and pizza-inspired, while the Cupcake Cup adds a sweet, horror-themed twist to the meal. The garlic parmesan rub on the tenders is a new flavor profile for Popeyes, leaning into the pizzeria vibe of the Five Nights universe.

Why Popeyes Went Spooky

According to Popeyes VP of Culinary Amy Alarcon, the goal was to “reimagine the over-the-top energy of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria” through food. The menu leans into nostalgic pizzeria flavors—garlic, cheese, marinara—while staying true to Popeyes’ fried chicken roots.

The collaboration is part of a growing trend of fast food meets pop culture, with chains like McDonald’s and Burger King frequently launching movie-themed meals. Popeyes, typically more reserved in this space, is making a splash with this horror-forward campaign.

Fan Reactions

Early reviews call the menu “scary good,” with particular praise for the Cheesy Bites and the garlic parmesan tenders. Social media has lit up with photos of the Cupcake Cup, which features Freddy-themed packaging and a bright pink topping that’s equal parts creepy and cute.

Some fans are hoping the garlic parmesan rub becomes a permanent flavor option, while others are just excited to see Popeyes embrace the spooky season with flair.
