Chick-fil-A is adding Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches and two S’mores-inspired treats to its fall menu as part of its yearlong ‘Newstalgia’ celebration. The limited-time lineup will be available beginning August 24, 2026, at participating locations nationwide.
Chick-fil-A Expands Its Menu With New Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches
According to an official press release, Chick-fil-A will add Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches to its nationwide menu beginning Monday, August 24. The decision to roll out the classic item comes after Chick-fil-A’s limited-time test in select markets last year, according to Instagram page Snackolator.
The sandwich combines a maple-flavored waffle with the brand’s popular chicken filet. It also includes three strips of applewood-smoked bacon and honey butter spread. A classic syrup is served on the side.
Customers can customize their sandwich by selecting from Original, Spicy, or Grilled chicken filet options.
The Chicken & Waffles Sandwich will be available in two versions throughout the day. The breakfast version will be available from opening until 10:30 a.m. and will feature a smaller chicken filet and waffle.
The entrée version is to be available from 10:30 a.m. until closing and comes with a larger chicken filet and waffle.
S’mores Treats Join the Fall Lineup
Beyond the sandwiches, Chick-fil-A is bringing two new S’mores-inspired offerings. These treats bring together the familiar flavors of toasted marshmallow, chocolate, and graham crackers.
The S’mores Milkshake offers a mix of the brand’s famous Icedream dessert with chocolate shortbread, marshmallow-flavored syrup, and graham cracker crumbles. The item is finished with a marshmallow-flavored whipped topping.
The S’mores Frosted Coffee includes custom cold-brewed coffee, which is blended with Icedream and marshmallow-flavored syrup. Other elements are chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles.
Chick-fil-A Continues Its “Newstalgia” Celebration
The newly announced fall items are part of Chick-fil-A’s yearlong ‘Newstalgia’ campaign. This celebration is for Chick-fil-A’s 80 years of quality, care, and service.
Under this campaign, the brand is bringing back old flavors, traditions, and experiences with a new take. Until now, it has provided fans with permanent Frosted Sodas and Floats, merchandise, retro-themed packaging, and Classic Cups.
Allison Duncan, the company’s director of menu and packaging, said that the fall lineup was created to reintroduce familiar flavors in new ways. She noted that Chicken & Waffles and S’mores are established favorites, which prompted the chain to prepare new menu offerings centering on both.
Founded by S. Truett Cathy in 1946, Chick-fil-A currently operates more than 3,000 restaurants. These are spread across the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the UK, and Singapore. Through its network of local Owner-Operators, the quick-service restaurant company has more than 200,000 team members.
