Chick-fil-A Drops Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches Nationwide on August 24

Chick-fil-A is officially leaning into comfort food nostalgia for autumn. This Wednesday, the fast-food giant announced that its highly anticipated Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches will hit menus nationwide on Monday, August 24, 2026, alongside two brand-new S'mores-inspired seasonal beverages. Part of the brand's yearlong "Newstalgia" campaign celebrating its 80-year heritage, the fall lineup follows a successful market test in late 2025 and early 2026.

Inside the Chicken & Waffles Sandwich

Unlike traditional breakfast-only drops, Chick-fil-A is making its new sweet-and-savory creation available all day long in two distinct sizes. Each sandwich is built with:

• The Base: Soft, warm maple-flavored waffles infused with sweet syrup flavor.
• The Protein: A choice of Chick-fil-A's signature chicken filet—customizable as Original, Spicy, or Grilled.
• The Savory Layers: Three strips of applewood-smoked bacon and a rich honey butter spread, served with a side of classic syrup for dipping or pouring.
• All-Day Availability: The Breakfast Version (served until 10:30 a.m.) features a smaller filet and waffle, while the Entrée Version (10:30 a.m. to close) scales up to a full-sized chicken filet and waffle.

New S'mores Beverage Pairings

To round out the autumn menu, Chick-fil-A is debuting two camp-inspired sips featuring toasted marshmallow, graham cracker, and chocolate flavors:

• S'mores Milkshake: Signature Icedream dessert hand-spun with chocolate shortbread, graham cracker crumbles, marshmallow syrup, and marshmallow-flavored whipped topping.
• S'mores Frosted Coffee: Custom cold-brewed coffee blended with Icedream dessert, marshmallow syrup, and chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles.

"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," said Allison Duncan, Director of Menu and Packaging at Chick-fil-A.

Whether you grab a spicy waffle sandwich for lunch or a s'mores shake for an afternoon treat, the limited-time lineup lands at participating locations on August 24.
