Does Chick-fil-A Have Chicken and Waffles?

Quick answer

No — Chick-fil-A does not have chicken and waffles, and it does not sell waffles at all (the "waffle" on its menu refers to Waffle Potato Fries). The closest on-menu option is the Chicken Biscuit. To get the real dish, make our copycat chicken-and-waffles at home.

The honest answer

Chicken and waffles is a beloved Southern comfort food, and because Chick-fil-A is so famous for chicken, many people assume it must be on the menu. It is not. Chick-fil-A has never sold waffles, so there is no orderable chicken-and-waffles item and no reliable secret-menu hack for it. The confusion usually comes from the name "Waffle Fries" — which are waffle-cut potatoes, not breakfast waffles.

Closest menu options

  • Chicken Biscuit (breakfast): breaded filet on a buttery biscuit — the nearest chicken-plus-carb combo. See our breakfast menu.
  • Chicken Sandwich: the classic filet on a bun. See our chicken sandwich guide.
  • Waffle Fries: the "waffle" on the menu — a side, not a breakfast waffle.
