While many are still enjoying the final sunny days of summer, some of our favorite brands are already turning toward autumn flavors. The demand for cozy seasonal vibes and pumpkin spice treats is coming earlier each year, and restaurants are responding.
Schools are back in session, the NFL preseason is underway, and summer menus have been around since spring—making it the perfect time for a menu refresh.
Chick-fil-A is one of the first major chains to jump in. On August 18, the chain will officially launch its fall menu, bringing three new sandwiches, a new drink, and the return of four fan favorites. But if you love the Peach Milkshake, you have about two weeks left to grab it before it disappears.
Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich
The Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich is the star of Chick-fil-A’s fall offerings. It will be available in original, spicy, or grilled varieties. First tested in Raleigh, N.C. in early spring 2024, it quickly became a hit, prompting a nationwide limited-time release.
What’s Inside?
- Crispy or grilled chicken filet
- Slice of cheddar cheese
- Bacon, lettuce, and tomato
- Served on a toasted pretzel bun
- Paired with Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce for a tangy, pub-style finish
The pretzel bun offers a savory, slightly chewy texture, while the Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce adds a balanced tanginess without overpowering the other flavors.
The Return of Cherry Berry Drinks—With a Twist
Chick-fil-A is also bringing back its Cherry Berry drink flavor, which blends cherry, blueberry, and cranberry. Previously available in Lemonade, Sunjoy, Iced Tea, and Frosted Lemonade, the flavor was first introduced in April 2024 and became an instant seasonal hit.
This fall, there’s a new addition—the Cherry Berry & Sprite, Chick-fil-A’s first-ever seasonal soda. This drink mixes the fruity blend with crisp Sprite, creating a refreshing balance of summer brightness and fall richness.
My Early Taste Test Review
As a self-proclaimed chicken sandwich lover, I couldn’t wait to try these new fall items. The Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich exceeded my expectations—the pretzel bun was flavorful yet not too dense, and the Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce was the perfect complement.
I usually opt for Chick-fil-A sauce, but this new mustard was so good I didn’t miss it at all.
The Cherry Berry & Sprite was another win. While part of the fall menu, its fruity sweetness and bubbly texture make it a perfect drink for warmer weather as well.
Chick-fil-A’s fall menu offers a perfect mix of comforting, hearty flavors and refreshing drinks. Whether you’re drawn to the new Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich or excited for the return of Cherry Berry drinks, these limited-time items are worth a visit.
Be sure to grab your favorites before they’re gone—just remember, the fall menu launches August 18 nationwide.
