Chick‑fil‑A will remove its Chicken and Waffles sandwich from most menus on Nov. 14, though select restaurants in Tampa, Chicago and Raleigh will continue serving a breakfast version as part of a limited test.
Fox News Digital reported the chain says the nationwide limited‑time offering debuted in August and will leave most menus on Nov. 14, or while supplies last, with participating restaurants in three cities keeping a breakfast variant beginning Nov. 16.
Beginning Nov. 16, participating restaurants in Tampa, Chicago and Raleigh will offer the Chicken and Waffles Breakfast Sandwich with an Original, Spicy or Grilled filet, along with Chicken, Egg & Cheese; Bacon, Egg & Cheese; Sausage, Egg & Cheese; and Grilled Chicken, Bacon, Egg & Cheese waffle sandwiches. The test menu will be available during breakfast hours until 10:30 a.m., Fox News Digital reported.
Allison Duncan, Chick‑fil‑A’s director of menu and packaging, told QSR, “We’ve loved seeing how much our guests enjoyed Chicken & Waffles this fall, especially the breakfast sandwich,” according to Fox News Digital. The company told Fox News Digital it selects test markets to gather feedback from customers and local owner‑operators but did not identify participating restaurants.
Customers in the test cities can check the Chick‑fil‑A app or local restaurant social media pages to see whether their location is participating in the test, Fox News Digital said.
Fox News Digital also reported that the s’mores milkshake and frosted coffee lineup are ending Nov. 14, and that Chick‑fil‑A’s holiday lineup arrives Nov. 16 with a Peppermint Cream Cold Brew, returning peppermint drinks, Chicken Tortilla Soup and Spicy Chick‑fil‑A Sauce, the latter joining the nationwide menu permanently.
Online reaction noted by Fox News Digital ranged from disappointment to indifference as Reddit users discussed the sandwich’s nationwide exit and the chain’s plans to test additional waffle sandwiches.
