The beloved regional fast food chain known for fried chicken and biscuits is bringing back the Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich for a limited time only. Get North Carolina pit-smoked pulled pork smothered in Bojangles' signature BBQ sauce before mid-August, when it will disappear again from menus.
Bojangles' BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich can be purchased alone or as a combo — but the pricing varies by location.
Customers in Reading, Pennsylvania, can pick up the returning sandwich for $3.79 or upgrade to a combo for $8.99. That's a sharp difference from Norfolk, Virginia — where a single sandwich is $6.99 or a combo costs $10.99. Jacksonville, Florida, residents are in the middle and can expect to pay $5.69 for a single sandwich or $8.69 for a combo.
The BBQ Pulled Pork isn't the only recent addition to the menu, as Bojangles has also started offering a peach cobbler. The dessert item has much less variance in price, with most locations offering it right around the $2 range.
Bojangles is predominantly found in the southern portion of the U.S. but has been planning expansions since 2023. The locations announced indicate the regional brand has national aims, with more than 270 new restaurants in the works.
If your city has gotten one of the 270 new stores in the Bojangles expansion, you may want to grab your best cash-back credit card before picking up the returning fan-favorite menu item - especially if you're in a city rolling out the higher pricing. See if your city made the cut.
