Chick-fil-A Chicken and Waffles Sandwich Ends Saturday Run

Chick-fil-A's Chicken & Waffles sandwiches leave most of the chain's menus after Saturday, November 14, 2026. The company announced the end date on November 10, and its wording leaves no room for a quiet extension: guests can enjoy the sweet-and-savory favorite at their local restaurant while supplies last. The sandwich is built from a pair of maple-flavored waffles holding a chicken filet, bacon and honey butter spread, with syrup served on the side.

The item has worked two shifts since it arrived. Chick-fil-A sold the Chicken & Waffle sandwich as a breakfast menu item and as an entree option, which made it one of the few limited-time items a customer could order at 7 a.m. or 7 p.m. That double duty is part of why Saturday's cutoff matters to the people who found it. A breakfast-only item disappears from one daypart. This one disappears from the whole day.

Three cities are the exception, and the exception comes with its own limits. Select restaurants in Chicago, Raleigh, North Carolina, and Tampa, Florida, will keep serving the Chicken & Waffles Breakfast Sandwich, with a choice of Original, Spicy or Grilled chicken filet. It is a breakfast-hours offer only. A customer in those cities who walks in at lunch expecting the sandwich they had in October is going to be told no.

Those same test markets get more than a reprieve. The Chicago, Raleigh and Tampa restaurants will also serve four additional waffle sandwiches as a limited-time test: Chicken, Egg & Cheese; Bacon, Egg & Cheese; Sausage, Egg & Cheese; and Grilled Chicken, Bacon, Egg & Cheese. That's the real news inside the goodbye. Chick-fil-A is using the three cities to learn whether the waffle format can carry a full breakfast line, not just one seasonal sandwich.

"We've loved seeing how much our guests enjoyed Chicken & Waffles this Fall, especially the breakfast sandwich," said Allison Duncan, Chick-fil-A's director of menu and packaging, in a statement. "While the nationwide limited-time offering is coming to an end, we're excited to keep the momentum going and continue learning what our guests love, and what they want us to bring them next." The language is a test kitchen's language: momentum, learning, what's next.

The practical details are simple and unforgiving. Availability ends with Saturday's supply, not Saturday's closing time, so a restaurant that sells through its waffles at noon is done at noon. Customers should check the Chick-fil-A app for availability at their local restaurant before making a trip built around one sandwich. And for everyone outside the three test cities, the fallback is the one the company always leaves open: a limited-time item that guests loved is a candidate to come back, and Duncan's statement is written to keep that door exactly as open as the company wants it.

The fall run is the evidence the test cities are built on. Duncan's statement singles out the breakfast sandwich as the version guests took to, which is exactly the version Chicago, Raleigh and Tampa keep. The nationwide entree disappears everywhere, the breakfast format survives where it performed, and four egg-and-cheese variants join it to find out whether the format is a sandwich or a platform. That's a tidy piece of menu engineering, and it's why Saturday's goodbye reads less like an ending than a narrowing: fewer cities, fewer hours, more data.
