Chick-fil-A unveils new fall menu items: Here's when you can get them
It might still feel like summer outside, but restaurant chains are looking ahead to fall as they unveil fall-themed menu items for the season ahead.
Chick-fil-A is the latest restaurant chain to announce its fall menu. The company announced its limited-time menu on Thursday, Aug. 7, which includes Chick-fil-A's first-ever seasonal soda, a new sandwich and two new potato chip varieties, all available beginning Monday, Aug. 18.
First introduced last spring, Chick-fil-A is bringing back its Cherry Berry drink for a second year, however this time mixed with Sprite. The full lineup for Cherry Berry drinks includes:
- Cherry Berry & Sprite: A sparkling mix of Sprite with delicious cherry, blueberry and cranberry natural flavors.
- Cherry Berry Lemonade: Classic Chick-fil-A lemonade with a sweet, fruity remix featuring cherry, blueberry and cranberry natural flavors.
- Cherry Berry Frosted Lemonade: A creamy blend of Icedream dessert and classic Chick-fil-A lemonade mixed with cherry, blueberry and cranberry natural flavors.
- Cherry Berry Sunjoy: A blend of sweetened iced tea and lemonade mixed with cherry, blueberry and cranberry natural flavors.
In addition to the Cherry Berry beverages, Chick-fil-A also announced its Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich is launching nationwide due to customer demand after a successful test in Raleigh, North Carolina last spring.
The sandwich features a toasted, buttery pretzel bun, lettuce, sliced tomato, cheddar cheese, strips of applewood smoked bacon and a side of Creamy Dijon Mustard sauce. Customers can also choose their preferred filet, meaning the sandwich is available with original, spicy and grilled chicken.
"We are always looking for ways to surprise our Guests with new and unique menu offerings, and this year’s fall lineup presents even more opportunities for Guests to customize and make them their own," said Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging for Chick-fil-A, in a news release.
"Our Guests’ demand for bold, fun beverages is only growing and Cherry Berry’s return, now with a bubbly twist, brings something fresh and unexpected to our lineup. The Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich offers the perfect complement: it’s savory with layers of flavor that feel indulgent, yet distinctly Chick-fil-A," Duncan said in the release.
Chick-fil-A debuts 2 potato chip varieties
Chick-fil-A also announced two new potato chip varieties, now offered in a new waffle cut style that closely resembles Chick-fil-A's waffle fries.
The chips will be available as a permanent side item or a catering option for any occasion and includes an Original Flavor Waffle Potato Chip option and a Chick-fil-A Sauce Flavored Waffle Potato Chip.
Chick-fil-A said the potato chips will also be available to purchase in 7-ounce bags in select retail locations across the Atlantic and Southeast regions later this fall.
