It really tastes like prime rib on a biscuit.”

The new Ribeye Steak, Egg & Cheese Biscuit is available for $2.99 as an entrée and $4.69 as a small combo with Hash Rounds^®and a beverage. Prices may vary by location.

The Ribeye Steak, Egg & Cheese Biscuit will be supported with an intriguing new Made from Scratch buttermilk biscuit advertising campaign, created by Los Angeles-based agency, 72andSunny.
