ATLANTA — Recently, Chick-fil-A announced that it would be bringing fans new, limited-time menus for the fall, delivering traditional flavors in innovative ways.

Starting Aug. 24, customers nationwide can enjoy the new Chicken & Waffle sandwiches, available as breakfast and entrée offerings, and two new seasonal treats, the S’mores Milkshake and S’mores Frosted Coffee, Chick-fil-A said in the announcement.

The addition of these menu items is all a part of the restaurant’s dedication to “Newstalgia,” a yearlong celebration offering unique twists on familiar favorites.

“In this year of Newstalgia-inspired celebrations, we wanted to bring something unique this fall by reimagining the comforting flavors our guests crave this time of year, delivering taste that feels both familiar and new to appeal to all ages,” Allison Duncan, Chick-fil-A’s director of menu and packaging, said. “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. After seeing the incredible response and excitement from guests in our test markets, we couldn’t wait to share these flavors nationwide.”

The Chicken & Waffle sandwich initially made its debut in 2025 at select restaurants to test how the public liked the sandwich but now it will be available at all stores nationwide.

Available all day, the sandwiches feature maple-flavored waffles, a signature Chick-fil-A filet, three strips of Applewood smoked bacon and honey butter spread, served warm with a side of classic syrup, Chick-fil-A explained.

Like other Chick-fil-A sandwiches, customers can customize it with their preferred filet option, Original, Spicy, or Grilled.

Although the sandwich will be available all day, there will be a slight difference between the breakfast sandwich and the entrée option. The breakfast sandwich features a smaller-sized chicken filet and waffle, while the entrée option for lunch and dinner includes a larger chicken filet and waffle, Chick-fil-A added.

As previously mentioned, customers can enjoy Chick-fil-A’s new S’mores flavor in two ways, the milkshake and frosted coffee.

The S’mores milkshake is a mix of Chick-fil-A’s signature Icedream dessert, hand-spun with chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles, marshmallow-flavored syrup and marshmallow-flavored whipped topping.

The S’mores Frosted Coffee is a blend of custom cold-brewed coffee with marshmallow-flavored syrup, and their signature Icedream dessert mixed with chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles.

These menu additions are just the next step of Chick-fil-A’s year of “Newstalgia,” celebrating its 80-year heritage of quality, service, and care. For more information, visit https://www.chick-fil-a.com/.
