The Chicken & Waffles Sandwich leaves Chick-fil-A nationwide after Saturday, Nov. 14. Two days later, Tampa, Chicago and Raleigh start testing four new waffle breakfast sandwiches.
Chick-fil-A’s chicken and waffles run is almost over, unless you live near Tampa.
The Chicken & Waffles Sandwich leaves menus nationwide after Saturday, Nov. 14, Chick-fil-A said Monday, QSR Magazine and People reported. Chick-fil-A is closed Sundays, so Saturday is your last shot.
Then on Monday, Nov. 16, select restaurants in Tampa, Chicago and Raleigh, N.C. start testing four new waffle breakfast sandwiches. Those test restaurants also keep the Chicken & Waffles Breakfast Sandwich.
Allison Duncan, Chick-fil-A’s director of menu and packaging, said guests loved the fall menu, “especially the breakfast sandwich.” The test follows that lead.
One wrinkle: Chick-fil-A’s own Chicken & Waffles menu page still lists the run as Aug. 24 through Nov. 12. Monday’s statement says Nov. 14. If you’ve got your heart set on one, Thursday is the safe move. Supplies can run out early, too, Delish noted.
What are the new Chick-fil-A waffle sandwiches?
Four “breakfast-sized” waffle sandwiches, People reported:
-
Chicken, Egg & Cheese
-
Bacon, Egg & Cheese
-
Sausage, Egg & Cheese
-
Grilled Chicken, Bacon, Egg & Cheese
The test restaurants also keep the Chicken & Waffles Breakfast Sandwich with an Original, Spicy or Grilled filet. That’s five waffle options in the test cities, which is why some outlets say four new sandwiches and Delish counts five.
They’re all breakfast only, from opening until 10:30 a.m. Chick-fil-A hasn’t posted prices or said how long the test lasts. The Chick-fil-A app shows whether your restaurant is participating.
Where is the Chick-fil-A waffle sandwich test?
Select Chick-fil-A restaurants in three cities:
-
Tampa, Fla.
-
Chicago
-
Raleigh, N.C.
Not every location in those areas is in the test, and Chick-fil-A didn’t name which ones are. Check the app before you go.
Tampa is the closest test city to Disney World, about 85 miles west of Orlando. If your trip includes a Busch Gardens day or a Gulf Coast beach stop, plan an early breakfast.
What’s in the Chick-fil-A Chicken & Waffles Sandwich?
Maple-flavored waffles, a Chick-fil-A filet, three strips of applewood smoked bacon and honey butter spread, served warm with a side of classic syrup, according to Chick-fil-A. You can pick an Original, Spicy or Grilled filet.
It comes in two sizes. The breakfast version, with a smaller filet and waffle, runs until 10:30 a.m. The entree version takes over from 10:30 a.m. to close.
It launched nationwide Aug. 24 as part of Chick-fil-A’s “Newstalgia” year, which marks the company’s 80-year history. A S’mores Milkshake and S’mores Frosted Coffee launched the same day.
Before that, Chick-fil-A tested the sandwich in Baltimore and San Antonio from Dec. 1, 2025, to Jan. 24, 2026, People reported. Chick-fil-A has said guests asked for the pairing for years. Its Dwarf House, which opened in 1946 as the Dwarf Grill, served waffles any hour.
What’s next on the Chick-fil-A menu?
Spicy Chick-fil-A Sauce arrives nationwide Monday, Nov. 16, the same day the waffle test starts. It’s the chain’s first new permanent sauce in 10 years, since Sweet & Spicy Sriracha in March 2016, People noted.

The holiday menu is still unofficial. Food leaker Markie Devo posted on Nov. 6 that peppermint drinks, including a new Peppermint Cream Cold Brew, plus Chicken Tortilla Soup start Nov. 16. Sporked repeated that list Monday. Chick-fil-A hasn’t confirmed it. [Here’s the full holiday menu rumor.](https://news.piratesandprincesses.net/p/chick-fil-a-holiday-menu-2026-rumor)
Last year, Chick-fil-A announced its peppermint lineup on Nov. 6 and launched it Nov. 10, so an official word could come any day.
