I Tried Chick-fil-A’s New Chicken & Waffles Sandwich on Day One and Here’s My Verdict

Chick-fil-A has introduced a limited-time Fall 2026 menu featuring chicken and waffles sandwiches. The rollout includes three different sandwich variations, one of which is described as spicy. These items are available at various locations, including restaurants in the Houston area. The seasonal update also includes a S'mores themed menu. While some reviewers describe the new offerings as a must-try for the season, other critics have dismissed the sandwich as forgettable and lacking a connection to the company's history.
