Chick-fil-A has a seasonal favorite on its menus, but some lucky diners in select cities may still have the chance to order it.
The chain’s chicken and waffle sandwiches will leave most menus on Nov. 14 or while supplies last, but some restaurants in Tampa, Chicago and Raleigh will continue to serve a breakfast version as the chain tests four additional waffle sandwiches.
The limited-time national offering debuted in August after a 2025 test, pairing the chain’s chicken tenders with maple waffles, applewood-smoked bacon, honey butter spread and syrup.

The test menu will be available during breakfast hours, until 10:30 a.m.
