Breakfast Meets Dinner: Customizable All-Day Servings

The new sandwich lineup pairs maple-flavored waffles with a signature Chick-fil-A chicken filet, layered with three slices of applewood smoked bacon and a rich honey butter spread, accompanied by a side of syrup. Guests can tailor the sandwich to their preference by selecting from Original, Spicy, or Grilled chicken options.
To give fans flexibility, Chick-fil-A is structuring the offering across two distinct dayparts:
- Morning Portion (Opening to 10:30 a.m.): Served during standard breakfast hours featuring a compact chicken filet and smaller waffle profile.
- Entrée Portion (10:30 a.m. to Close): Available throughout lunch and dinner hours utilizing a full-sized chicken filet and larger waffle.
Campfire-Inspired S’mores Sips
Alongside the main dish, Chick-fil-A is introducing two seasonal drinks that reimagine classic late-summer campfire treats:
- S’mores Milkshake: Features hand-spun Icedream® soft serve blended with chocolate shortbread, crushed graham crackers, marshmallow syrup, and a fluffy marshmallow-flavored whipped topping.
- S’mores Frosted Coffee: Combines cold-brew coffee with marshmallow syrup and Icedream® dessert, mixed with chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles for an afternoon caffeine boost.
According to Allison Duncan, Director of Menu and Packaging at Chick-fil-A, the autumn menu continues the brand’s yearlong “Newstalgia” campaign—an initiative marking the company’s 80-year milestone by pairing nostalgic fast-food heritage with fresh flavor concepts.
