We don’t always think of Walmart as a place to get fresh, hot meals, but maybe we should. We’re already fans of Walmart’s bakery items, so it only makes sense to check out what other prepared foods the retailer offers.
Walmart has affordable combo meals served hot every day, giving you a satisfying option without breaking the bank or sacrificing flavor.
Walmart’s Deli Section Hot Bar
The next time you’re doing a Walmart shopping run, you might want to make a pit stop at the hot deli section. Here, you’ll find a cheap combo meal deal that’s ideal for the hungry lunch crowd. But don’t just take our word for it.
A TikTok video by user @lukefoods showed off his eight-piece boneless chicken lunch combo that came with two sides—“smashed” potatoes and mac and cheese—for only $6. “It’s cheap and it’s delicious,” he shared.
Many commenters expressed their love for Walmart’s chicken options, such as the honey BBQ boneless wings and General Tso’s chicken, which got many shoutouts: “Their General Tso’s is the bomb,” one commenter said. “People always sleep on [Walmart’s] hot food.”
TikTok’s @travelingfoodreviews gave Walmart’s combo meal an “8 out of 10” and said it’s “worth the price,” highlighting the potato wedges as a standout side.
If you didn’t already know Walmart had a hot deli section, you’re not alone. Neither did we—and many commenters on TikTok were downright shocked that prepared hot food was even an option at Walmart. But with inflation raising fast-food prices, this is an option worth checking out.
These days, a KFC combo with eight chicken wings and one side costs around $8, while Popeyes offers a six-piece wing combo and one side for nearly $12. Meanwhile, Walmart serves hot rotisserie whole chickens for under $7 that you can bring home for the whole family.
So the next time you’re running errands and hunger strikes, skip the drive-thru line and head for Walmart’s hot deli counter. You might be surprised by how good—and how cheap—a quick meal can be.
