Chick-fil-A’s Chicken & Waffles sandwiches are leaving most menus on Nov. 14, or sooner if supplies run out. But customers in parts of Tampa, Chicago and Raleigh may still get a chance to try a new breakfast-focused waffle sandwich menu.
The limited-time sandwich launched nationwide in August after a test in 2025. It combined a chicken filet with maple-flavored waffles, applewood-smoked bacon, honey butter spread and syrup.
Chick-fil-A said guests have especially enjoyed the breakfast version. Starting Nov. 16, participating restaurants in the three cities will test several waffle sandwiches during breakfast hours, which end at 10:30 a.m.
The Chicken & Waffles Breakfast Sandwich will be available with an Original, Spicy or Grilled filet. The test menu will also include Chicken, Egg & Cheese; Bacon, Egg & Cheese; Sausage, Egg & Cheese; and Grilled Chicken, Bacon, Egg & Cheese waffle sandwiches.
The company chooses test markets to hear from customers and local restaurant operators. It hasn’t named the participating locations, though individual restaurants often post test-menu details on social media. Customers can also check the Chick-fil-A app to see if their local restaurant is taking part.
Chick-fil-A says the test will help it understand what customers might want next. So far, it hasn’t said whether the expanded menu could reach more locations.
Reactions to the nationwide menu change are mixed. Some fans are disappointed, with one person on Reddit saying they ordered the sandwich every time it was available. Another called it the best limited-time breakfast sandwich they had tried.
Others were less impressed. Some said the waffles were too dense or didn’t soften enough when combined with syrup. A few were simply glad to see the seasonal item make room for something new.
The chicken-and-waffles offering was part of a yearlong “Newstalgia”-inspired promotion featuring updated takes on familiar favorites. The accompanying s’mores milkshake and frosted coffee lineup are also scheduled to leave menus on Nov. 14.
Chick-fil-A’s holiday menu arrives Nov. 16. It includes a new Peppermint Cream Cold Brew, returning peppermint drinks and Chicken Tortilla Soup. Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce will also join the nationwide menu permanently.
