What is in a Mac and Cheese Bowl Combo?
The Mac & Cheese Bowl, mac base, crispy nuggets, melted three-cheese top, bundled with a medium drink. Like every bowl combo, there’s deliberately nothing else in the bag: the bowl is the meal, the drink is the company.
All three bowl combos sit at $6.99, which makes this corner of the menu unusually easy to reason about: pick the bowl, the price stays put.
How it is made
Nothing changes from the à la carte bowl; the drink rides along. Worth knowing: this combo appears in app offers slightly more often than the Famous Bowl versions, presumably because it’s the one KFC promotes to families; watch for the periodic $5.99 combo price that effectively makes the drink free.
Who it suits, and who should skip it
The family default: mild, familiar, splittable, and the gentlest sodium in the bowl lineup. It’s also the right desk lunch for anyone who wants warm comfort without the Famous Bowl‘s gravy weight at 2 pm.
Protein-first orders should look at the tenders combo instead; two dollars more, triple the protein.
Is it worth the price?
Fine value, softer food: the combo math is identical, so judge the bowl.
The dollar-for-a-drink logic is the same across all three bowl combos, and it’s fair against the $2.99 à la carte drink. What differs is inside the bowl: 540 calories and 21 g protein here against the classic's 590 and 26. On strict counter math the Famous Bowl wins; on sodium and simplicity this one does. Twins on price, rivals on philosophy.
Order hacks
- Watch the app: this combo drops to $5.99 in promotions more often than its siblings.
- Zero-sugar drink keeps the whole order at 540: the biggest percentage drop of any combo trick on the menu.
- Ask for the cheese topping heavy; it’s the one free lever that changes the eating.
- Two spoons and a split makes it the cheapest calm meal for two kids on the board.
- Eating later? Order the chicken on the side: reheated mac survives, reheated coating on mac doesn’t.

KFC Mac & Cheese Bowl Combo FAQs
How much is the Mac & Cheese Bowl Combo?
$6.99 nationally: the mac bowl plus a medium fountain drink. All three bowl combos share the price, so the choice is purely which bowl.
How many calories is the combo?
750 in the standard build with regular Pepsi; 540 with any zero-sugar drink. Older 520 to 810 ranges describe the discontinued portion plus assorted drinks.
Which bowl combo is healthiest?
This one, on the numbers that move: lowest calories (750 standard) and lowest sodium (1,875 mg) of the three. None qualify as light; this is the gentlest.
Does it come with fries or biscuit?
No, bowl and drink only, by design. Add a biscuit à la carte for about $1.29 if the meal needs stretching.
Can kids share it?
Comfortably: it splits into two sensible kid portions for less than most single kids meals, which is exactly how many families order it.
Can I swap the crispy nuggets?
Most locations will substitute crispy strips on request; tossing the chicken Nashville Hot is the popular unofficial upgrade at no charge.
Is the mac the same as the side mac and cheese?
Same recipe, larger portion: the bowl base comes off the same line as the side order.
Why is this combo often in app deals?
KFC rotates family-facing promotions through it more than the Famous Bowl versions; the periodic $5.99 combo price effectively makes the drink free.
