There are certain foods I have a hard time passing up when I spot them on a menu, and chicken and waffles is one of them. Breakfast, lunch, dinner—it really doesn’t matter. Give me crispy chicken, fluffy waffles and plenty of syrup, and I’m probably going to order it.
So when I heard Chick-fil-A was finally bringing its own take on chicken and waffles nationwide, I knew I had to try it. I’m already a big Chick-fil-A fan. The Spicy Deluxe is my go-to order, and I recently named the chain’s waffle fries the best fries in the fast-food game. Chick-fil-A already has the chicken part down, so putting it between two waffles sounded pretty promising.

The new Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches arrived nationwide on Aug. 24 as part of Chick-fil-A’s limited-time fall menu, with versions available for both breakfast and later in the day. They’re joined by two new S’mores treats, a S’mores Milkshake and a S’mores Frosted Coffee, giving me even more reason to stop by.
On a recent Chick-fil-A trip, I tried both versions of the Chicken & Waffles Sandwich, along with the new S’mores drinks. And while I had a pretty good feeling about the chicken and waffles going in, I didn’t expect to like them quite this much.
The Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches Live Up to the Hype

I started with the breakfast sandwich and chose the Spicy filet. The chicken was thick and juicy, with three strips of crispy applewood-smoked bacon layered on top. The heat from the chicken was especially good with the sweetness of the maple-flavored waffles and honey butter spread.
The waffles themselves were soft and fluffy, and there was enough sweetness throughout the sandwich that I ate most of it without the maple syrup. It’s great on its own, but dipping it in the syrup gives you an extra hit of sweetness against the spicy chicken. I do wish the waffles were a tad crispier on the outside, but that’s a minor complaint.
The proportions are on point too, with a hearty piece of chicken and plenty of bacon between the waffles. It almost doesn’t even need the bacon if I’m being honest. The chicken and waffles are already doing plenty on their own.
I also tried the entrée version, which has a larger chicken filet and waffle, and that’s probably the one I’d order again. You get a heartier bite, and I like that I can order chicken and waffles beyond breakfast hours. Original and Grilled filets are options too, but Spicy is the way to go.
I even overheard one employee tell another, “I don’t usually like chicken and waffles, but I like this.” That about sums it up.

The S’mores Drinks Are a Sweet Bonus

Chicken and waffles may have been what brought me in, but I wasn’t going to pass up the two new S’mores drinks. I tried both the S’mores Frosted Coffee and S’mores Milkshake, and they bring plenty of fall flavor without being cloyingly sweet.
The Frosted Coffee blends Chick-fil-A’s cold-brewed coffee and Icedream with marshmallow-flavored syrup, chocolate shortbread and graham cracker crumbles. It’s creamy and cool, with the coffee keeping the sweetness in check and the crumbles adding some texture along the way. I especially liked it with the Spicy Chicken & Waffles Sandwich because the cold, creamy drink was a nice break from the heat.
The S’mores Milkshake uses the same chocolate shortbread, graham cracker crumbles and marshmallow flavor, but with an Icedream base and marshmallow-flavored whipped topping. It’s richer and more dessert-like, with little bits of the crumbles mixed throughout. I enjoyed both, but I’d probably reach for the Frosted Coffee again, especially alongside the sandwich.
My Final Verdict on Chick-Fil-A’s Fall Menu

I had high expectations for Chick-fil-A’s new Chicken & Waffles Sandwiches, and they didn’t disappoint. I’d order the Spicy entrée version again without hesitation, and I can already see it becoming one of my go-to orders while it’s still around.
The S’mores drinks are a fun addition too, with the Frosted Coffee being my favorite of the two. However, the chicken and waffles are what would get me back through the door.
Chick-fil-A has brought back plenty of limited-time favorites over the years, so I’m holding out hope for these. Better yet, I’m hoping the chicken chain just puts them on the permanent menu.
