Chick-fil-A Ends Nationwide Chicken and Waffle Sales on Nov. 14

Chick-fil-A is removing its Chicken and Waffles sandwich from most U.S. menus on Nov. 14, ending a nationwide limited-time offer that began in August. The item, which pairs a chicken filet with maple-flavored waffles, applewood smoked bacon, honey butter, and syrup, will vanish from most locations by that date or when supplies run out. However, customers in specific test markets have a slightly longer window to try a breakfast variation of the sandwich.

The chain will continue serving a breakfast version of the Chicken and Waffles sandwich in select restaurants in Tampa, Chicago, and Raleigh. These locations are participating in a test that introduces four new waffle sandwich options. The expanded menu includes the original Chicken and Waffles Breakfast Sandwich, available with an Original, Spicy, or Grilled filet. It also features a Chicken, Egg and Cheese sandwich, a Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwich, a Sausage, Egg and Cheese sandwich, and a Grilled Chicken, Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwich. This test menu will be available during breakfast hours, which end at 10:30 a.m.

Allison Duncan, the director of menu and packaging for Chick-fil-A, said the company wants to learn what customers want next. She noted that guests enjoyed the fall offering, particularly the breakfast sandwich. The company chooses test markets based on opportunities to gather feedback from customers and local owner-operators. Individual participating restaurants typically share test menu details on their social media pages, and customers can also check the Chick-fil-A app to see if their local location is included in the test.

The Chicken and Waffles sandwich was part of a yearlong celebration inspired by the concept of "Newstalgia." The company described the campaign as offering a delicious twist on familiar favorites. Along with the sandwich, the promotion included a s'mores milkshake and a frosted coffee lineup. All of these items are scheduled to end on Nov. 14. The menu transition coincides with the arrival of the chain's holiday lineup on Nov. 16, which includes a new Peppermint Cream Cold Brew and returning peppermint drinks.

Online reactions to the nationwide exit are mixed. Some fans expressed disappointment, with one Reddit user stating they ordered the sandwich every time it was available. Another commenter called it the only limited-time offer they have ever really liked and described it as the best breakfast sandwich in the game. Other users were less enthusiastic, with some criticizing the waffles for being too dense or not soft enough to soak up syrup. A few others said they were excited for the limited-time item to make room for new options.

Chick-fil-A has not announced whether the expanded waffle menu will move beyond the three test cities. The holiday menu arriving on Nov. 16 also includes Chicken Tortilla Soup and Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce, which is joining the nationwide menu permanently.
