What was announced
On August 12 Chick-fil-A announced that Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches would go on sale nationwide from August 24, in a breakfast version served until 10:30 a.m. and a larger entree version served from 10:30 a.m. to close, with a last day of November 14. The launch went ahead on August 24. As of September 1, 2026 Chick-fil-A's product FAQ describes both sandwiches as now available nationwide at participating restaurants and still gives November 14 as the end date. Two S'mores drinks launched alongside them.
Why it matters
Chick-fil-A publishing an end date at all is the interesting part. Most chains announce a limited-time item and leave the finish line unstated, which makes it impossible to tell a short run from a soft permanent addition. Here the window is fixed at twelve weeks, the company said so up front, and it is still saying so a week after launch.
What is in the sandwich
Chick-fil-A describes both versions as maple-flavoured waffles with a chicken filet, three strips of applewood smoked bacon and a honey butter spread, served warm with a side of syrup. The filet can be Original, Spicy or Grilled.
The difference between the two is size. The breakfast sandwich uses a smaller filet and waffle; the entree version uses a larger one.
The hours matter more than usual here
This is an all-day item served in two different forms, which is unusual for the chain. The breakfast sandwich runs from opening until 10:30 a.m. and the entree version from 10:30 a.m. to close. Ordering the same thing at 10:15 and 10:45 gets you different sandwiches.
Two S'mores drinks land the same day
The S'mores Milkshake is Chick-fil-A's Icedream hand-spun with chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles, marshmallow-flavoured syrup and marshmallow-flavoured whipped topping. The S'mores Frosted Coffee is cold-brewed coffee with marshmallow-flavoured syrup and Icedream mixed with the same chocolate shortbread and graham crumbles.
Tested first, now running nationwide
Chick-fil-A says the nationwide launch follows a limited-time test in 2025, and attributes the rollout to the response in those test markets. The company is running the items under a year-long campaign it calls Newstalgia, which it has also used for the Frosted Sodas and Floats that became permanent.
Chick-fil-A has since moved its availability page out of the section it files menu tests under and into its main menu FAQ, and the page now states that both sandwiches "are now available nationwide at participating restaurants from August 24 through November 14". The company also says they can be ordered for pickup and delivery, but are not on the catering menu and cannot be bought with Chick-fil-A One points.
What Chick-fil-A has not said
No prices are given in the announcement or the product FAQ, and Chick-fil-A prices vary by restaurant because locations are independently operated. Any specific figure you see is not from the company.
Re-read on October 1, 2026, Chick-fil-A's own pages are unchanged: the product FAQ still gives November 14 as the last day, the press release still names no end date and no price, and nothing has been added to revise either. Six weeks before the stated last day, the November 14 date continues to rest on the FAQ rather than on the announcement.
