Chick-fil-A has officially announced its fall menu, and it features an item that fans have been asking the fast-food chain to bring back for more than a decade.
Chick-fil-A Unveils Its Limited-Time Fall Menu
On Wednesday, August 12, fast-food giant Chick-fil-A announced its fall menu, which will be available for a limited time.
This season’s lineup includes Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches, a S’mores Milkshake, and a S’mores Frosted Coffee.
The new offerings are part of Chick-fil-A’s year-long “Newstalgia” initiative, which takes classic favorites and gives them a fresh twist.
According to the restaurant, the Chicken & Waffles Sandwich will be available as a breakfast option during regular breakfast hours, while a larger entrée-sized version will be offered from 10:30 a.m. until closing, giving customers the chance to enjoy it for both lunch and dinner.
The S’mores Milkshake combines Chick-fil-A’s signature Icedream® dessert with chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles, marshmallow-flavored syrup, and marshmallow-flavored whipped topping.
Meanwhile, the S’mores Frosted Coffee features custom cold-brewed coffee blended with marshmallow-flavored syrup and Chick-fil-A’s signature Icedream® dessert, along with chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles.
Speaking about the new fall offerings, Allison Duncan, Chick-fil-A’s Director of Menu and Packaging, said:
“In this year of Newstalgia-inspired celebrations, we wanted to bring something unique this fall by reimagining the comforting flavors our Guests crave this time of year, delivering a taste that feels both familiar and new to appeal to all ages. Both Chicken & Waffles and S’mores are much-loved classics, and we challenged ourselves to bring those flavors to our menu in a playful and unexpected way. After seeing the incredible response and excitement from Guests in our test markets, we couldn’t wait to share these flavors nationwide.”
Other Newstalgia offerings released earlier this year include Frosted Sodas, Frosted Floats, Classic Cups, merchandise, and updated packaging.
Chicken & Waffles Were First Tested 12 Years Ago
The history of Chick-fil-A’s Chicken & Waffles offering goes back more than a decade.
On August 26, 2014, the Los Angeles Times reported that Chick-fil-A had begun testing a Chicken & Waffles breakfast item at select restaurants, including a location in California’s Inland Empire.
At the time, the breakfast offering was promoted as a “better for you” option for customers looking to make healthier choices. The Chicken & Waffles breakfast item contained 440 calories and just 9 grams of fat.
Although the test received a positive response, Chick-fil-A did not revisit the idea until December 2025, when the company began testing Chicken & Waffles again—this time in sandwich form.
From December 1, 2025, through January 24, 2026, select Chick-fil-A locations in Baltimore, Maryland, and San Antonio, Texas, tested the new sandwich.
Now, after years of anticipation and another successful test, Chicken & Waffles are finally making their way onto Chick-fil-A’s nationwide fall menu.
