Chick-fil-A brings Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches and S'mores drinks to all U.S. restaurants starting Aug. 24, following a successful test. The menu drives all-day traffic.
Chick-fil-A is rolling out a limited-time Chicken & Waffles Sandwich lineup starting Aug. 24, the company said Tuesday. The chain, the third-largest quick-service restaurant in the U.S. by sales, is betting the sweet-and-savory breakfast-to-dinner item can drive traffic across dayparts.
The sandwiches come in two sizes: a breakfast version available until 10:30 a.m. with a smaller filet, and an entrée-sized option served from 10:30 a.m. to close. Both feature maple-flavored waffles, a Chick-fil-A chicken filet (original, spicy or grilled), three strips of applewood-smoked bacon and honey butter, served with syrup. The launch follows a test in select markets last year.
Alongside the sandwiches, Chick-fil-A is adding S'mores Milkshake and S'mores Frosted Coffee to the fall menu. The items are part of the chain's yearlong "Newstalgia" campaign, which blends classic menu items with new twists.
"We challenged ourselves to bring those flavors to our menu in a playful and unexpected way," said Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging. She cited "incredible response" from test markets as the reason for the national rollout.
Chick-fil-A operates more than 3,000 restaurants across the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.K. and Singapore. The family-owned company employs over 200,000 team members through its local owner-operator model. The chain has been testing new menu items more aggressively in recent years, including permanent additions like Frosted Sodas and Floats.
The limited-time menu will be available through the fall. No end date was announced.
