Chick-fil-A Menu Prices 2026: Full Menu With Calories

Chick-fil-A sells one thing better than anyone else in fast food: a pressure-cooked chicken sandwich, made the same way since 1967, in restaurants that are closed every Sunday. The board below runs to about 90 items — the sandwiches, nuggets, salads, sides, breakfast, treats, drinks, sauces, meals, kids meals and catering trays — with typical US prices and the chain’s published calories for every item.

Price basis: Chick-fil-A does not publish national prices — almost every restaurant is franchised and prices locally. The prices below are typical figures checked in October 2026 against ordering-app averages and independent national price trackers, cross-checked across Dallas, Los Angeles and New York. Where no defensible typical price exists, the item reads Varies rather than a copied guess. Delivery apps run higher, and Chick-fil-A One members earn points on every order.

Chicken Sandwiches

Everything starts with the sandwich S. Truett Cathy perfected in 1964: a boneless breast of chicken, seasoned, hand-breaded, pressure-cooked in peanut oil, served on a toasted buttered bun with two dill pickle chips. The original is 440 calories at a typical $5.49. The Spicy adds a peppery breading, the Deluxe adds cheese, lettuce and tomato, and the Grilled swaps the breading for a marinated grilled filet at 320 calories — the lightest sandwich on the board. Two limited-time clubs are running this fall: the Chicken & Waffles Sandwich (maple waffles, bacon, honey butter) and the Jalapeño Ranch Club.

Nuggets & Strips

Nuggets are the menu’s workhorse — bite-size pieces of the same pressure-cooked chicken, sold in 5, 8, 12 and 30 counts, with a spicy version and a grilled version that dietitians keep calling the healthiest nuggets in fast food: 8 grilled nuggets are 130 calories with 25 grams of protein. Chick-n-Strips are the longer cut, 3 or 4 to an order. Every nugget order comes with one sauce free; extra cups are $0.30.

Salads & Wraps

Chick-fil-A’s salads are built on the same grilled chicken as the sandwiches. The Market Salad (greens, berries, blue cheese, granola, apple cider vinaigrette) and the Cobb are the long-running pair, and the Spicy Southwest brings the pepper-jack and chili-lime pepitas. Calories in the table are for the salad with grilled chicken before dressing — dressing adds 25 to 310 calories, so the Cool Wrap’s 350 is the most honest single number on the page. The Side Salad is the $4.19 add-on that turns any sandwich into a lighter lunch.

Sides

Waffle Potato Fries — the most-ordered item on the whole menu — come in three sizes, and the medium at 420 calories is the usual. Mac & Cheese is the second side people plan around (small 270, medium 450). Kale Crunch (120 calories) is the lightest side on the board, the Fruit Cup is the fresh option, and the Greek Yogurt Parfait crosses over from breakfast. Chicken Noodle Soup runs 120 to 230 calories depending on cup size.

Breakfast

Breakfast runs 6:30 to 10:30 AM, Monday to Saturday, and it is built on the same chicken: the Chicken Biscuit (460 cal) and the Spicy Chicken Biscuit are the anchors, Chick-n-Minis are the shareable four-pack, and the Egg White Grill (290 cal) is the lightest hot breakfast in fast food. The Hash Brown Scramble Bowl and Burrito are the hearty end — the burrito with grilled chicken is 650 calories. The Buttered Biscuit at $2.39 is the cheapest hot item on the breakfast board.

Treats

Icedream — the chain’s soft-serve — anchors the treats case: a cone is $1.39, the cheapest item on the menu. Frosted Coffee and Frosted Lemonade blend Icedream with cold brew or lemonade. Hand-spun milkshakes run vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and cookies & cream, with seasonal rotations: the S’mores shake in the fall and the Peppermint Chip shake in winter. The Chocolate Chunk Cookie and the Chocolate Fudge Brownie are baked in-restaurant.

Drinks

The drink board is lemonade-led: Chick-fil-A Lemonade is made fresh in-restaurant from real lemons, and Sunjoy — half lemonade, half sweet tea — is the house blend. Sweet tea, unsweetened tea, fountain drinks, iced coffee and the new Mocha Cream Cold Brew (August 2026) fill out the list. Calories in the table span sizes: a small lemonade is about 130 calories and a large about 330, and diet lemonade runs 30 to 80.

Sauces

Chick-fil-A Sauce — the honey-mustard-BBQ hybrid the chain created in 1982 — is the one sauce people buy by the bottle (8 oz, $3.79, also sold in 16 oz tubs at the counter). One sauce is free with every entrée; extra cups are $0.30. Polynesian (sweet-sour, 110 cal) and Garden Herb Ranch (140 cal) are the other classics, and Zesty Buffalo at 25 calories is the lightest way to add heat.

Meals & Bundles

A Chick-fil-A Meal is the entrée plus medium Waffle Potato Fries and a medium drink. The Chicken Sandwich Meal is the standard at a typical $9.75, and the Grilled Chicken Club Meal is the priciest at $12.49. Upgrading fries to a side salad or mac & cheese costs extra at most restaurants. The 8-count Nuggets Meal ($9.45) is the value pick — the same meal with grilled nuggets runs about the same price with 820 fewer calories before the drink.

Kids Meals

Kids Meals come with a choice of entrée, a side (kids fries, fruit cup or apple sauce), a drink and a surprise toy or book. The 4-count Nuggets Meal is the standard at $5.39, and the 4-count Grilled Nuggets Meal is the lightest kids’ option at 380 calories as listed. All kids meals are served until close — there is no kids-only window.

Catering

Chick-fil-A catering is built on the same trays the chain has sold since the 1980s: nugget trays, strips trays, Chick-n-Minis trays, fruit trays, garden salad trays and mac & cheese trays, priced from $34 to $130 depending on size. Trays are ordered through the app or the catering site with at least a day’s notice at most restaurants. Prices below are starting points — the final quote is set by the restaurant.

Chick-fil-A Allergen Information

Chick-fil-A publishes a full allergen guide for every item on its site and in the app — the summary below is the shape of it. The two things that matter most: peanut oil is the frying medium for all chicken (refined peanut oil is generally considered low-risk for peanut-allergic diners, but the chain lists it and you should confirm with your own allergist), and everything is prepared in shared kitchens, so no item can be called allergen-free. Wheat is in every bun, breading and biscuit; milk and egg are in the cheese, shakes, Icedream and mayo-based sauces; tree nuts appear in the salads; and the Caesar dressing contains fish. Check the exact item in the official guide, and confirm in store, before ordering with an allergy.

Chick-fil-A Nutrition Chart

The shape of the menu in one table: the Grilled Chicken Sandwich is the lightest sandwich (320 cal, 28 g protein), 8 grilled nuggets are the lightest protein on the board (130 cal, 25 g protein), and the Spicy Deluxe is the peak sandwich (550 cal, 1,810 mg sodium). One honesty note: several trackers still list the original sandwich at 420 calories and the grilled sandwich at 390 — both are older figures; Chick-fil-A’s current published numbers are 440 and 320, and this site uses the current figures throughout. The full chart is on the Chick-fil-A nutrition page.

Chick-fil-A Opening and Closing Hours

Chick-fil-A hours are the most predictable in fast food, because one rule never changes: every restaurant is closed on Sunday, including the ones in airports, malls and stadiums. The usual pattern is Monday to Saturday, 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM, with breakfast served 6:30 to 10:30 AM. Some restaurants close at 9:00 PM on weeknights and some stay open later on Friday and Saturday. On holidays the chain is typically closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, with shortened hours on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve — the app or the locator is the only exact answer for your store.

Chick-fil-A Reviews: The Dwarf House, Hapeville

The right place to review Chick-fil-A is where it started. The Dwarf House at 461 N Central Ave, Hapeville, Georgia — the diner S. Truett Cathy opened as the Dwarf Grill in 1946, on the site where the chicken sandwich was invented — is rated 4.5 out of 5 from about 9,200 Google reviews (October 2026). Unlike a standard Chick-fil-A, the Dwarf House is a full-service diner with an expanded menu — hot browns, skillets, steak, omelets and homemade pies, plus the chicken & waffles you won’t find on the national board — and it keeps the original’s little red door and the closed-Sunday rule.

“Super cool discovering the original Chick-fil-A! Loved learning about the little red door! Staff are very sweet and helpful… I tried the sweet potato soufflé… The fried chicken sandwich was delicious…”

— KaLe E, 5/5, Google review via Wanderlog

“This is where it all began! It’s one of the rare locations where you can choose between self service or a full service sit down experience with a server. The menu features exclusive items you won’t find anywhere else, like chicken & waffles, steak, hamburgers, and even omelets.”

— Yong C, 5/5, Google review via Wanderlog

The balance in the record is honest, too: review aggregators note mixed comments about customer service at times, which is what you’d expect from a diner that is also a tourist stop. The food itself is the draw — and the Dwarf House is the one Chick-fil-A where the meal comes with a history lesson attached.

Chick-fil-A Facts

1. The first Chick-fil-A opened on November 24, 1967, in the food court of Greenbriar Mall in Atlanta, Georgia — a 384-square-foot stall with a menu of one sandwich.
2. S. Truett Cathy and his brother Ben opened the Dwarf Grill in Hapeville, Georgia, on May 23, 1946, across from a Ford assembly plant. It had ten stools and four booths — and it was closed on Sundays from the first week.
3. Ben Cathy died in a plane crash in 1949. Truett kept the diner going, and the Dwarf Grill — now the Dwarf House — still operates on the same site.
4. The chicken sandwich recipe was settled in 1964, after Cathy bought a pressure fryer — a Henny Penny — in the early 1960s and spent years testing the seasoning and the cooking method.
5. The sandwich that made the chain — a boneless breast, hand-breaded, pressure-cooked in peanut oil, on a toasted buttered bun with two pickle chips — was first licensed to more than 50 outside kitchens, including Waffle House and the Houston Astrodome, before the first Chick-fil-A restaurant opened.
6. Waffle Potato Fries arrived in 1985, the chicken biscuit joined the breakfast menu in 1986, and the first freestanding Chick-fil-A restaurant opened on April 16, 1986, on North Druid Hills Road in Atlanta.
7. Grilled chicken joined the menu in 1989, the first drive-thru-only restaurant opened in South Carolina in 1993, and the “Eat Mor Chikin” cows — the chain’s most famous campaign — debuted in 1995.
8. The 1,000th Chick-fil-A opened in 2001, and the Spicy Chicken Sandwich went nationwide in 2010.
9. S. Truett Cathy died in 2014 at 93. His son Dan Cathy led the company, and Andrew Cathy — Truett’s grandson — became CEO in 2021. The company is still private and family-owned, headquartered in College Park, Georgia.
10. Chick-fil-A counted 3,109 restaurants in the United States in 2024, with systemwide sales of $22.7 billion — making it the third-largest US quick-service chain by sales, and the highest-selling per restaurant of any major chain.
11. Waffle Potato Fries are the most-ordered item on the menu (2018) — and the chain’s slogan is the modest one: “We Didn’t Invent the Chicken, Just the Chicken Sandwich.”
12. Chick-fil-A Sauce was created in 1982, when a franchise operator in Fredericksburg, Virginia, mixed honey mustard with barbecue sauce. The chain bottled it in 2020, and it is now sold in grocery stores nationwide.
13. The Dwarf House in Hapeville is the only Chick-fil-A with a full diner menu — hot browns, skillets, steak, omelets and homemade pies — and the little red door from the original Dwarf Grill is still part of the building.
14. Chick-fil-A One, the app loyalty program, has four tiers: Member (10 points per $1), Silver (11, from 1,000 points a year), Red (12, from 4,000) and Signature (13, from 10,000) — with a free birthday cookie for every member.
15. The Chicken & Waffles Sandwich — a fall 2026 limited-time item with maple waffles, bacon and honey butter — is the newest sandwich on the board, and the Mocha Cream Cold Brew joined the drink list in August 2026.
16. Chick-fil-A has no official secret menu. The chain has said so publicly — and the builds in the secret menu guide are customizations and DIY combinations, not hidden official items.

What time does Chick-fil-A serve breakfast?

Breakfast is served 6:30 to 10:30 AM, Monday to Saturday, at most restaurants. After 10:30 the lunch menu takes over — including the Chicken & Waffles Sandwich in its entrée size during the fall 2026 run.

Members earn 10 points per $1 spent; Silver earns 11 (from 1,000 points a year), Red 12 (from 4,000) and Signature 13 (from 10,000). Points redeem for food rewards, and ordering in the Chick-fil-A app — including native delivery — earns points; third-party marketplaces do not.

Conclusion

Chick-fil-A’s menu is the narrowest of any chain this size — one sandwich idea, done pressure-cooked in peanut oil, with a closed-Sunday rule that has never bent — and that narrowness is the point. The original sandwich is $5.49 and 440 calories; the grilled route drops to 320; and the rewards program turns every order into points. Next stops: the secret menu for the builds the board doesn’t list, the nutrition chart before you stack anything, and the coupons and Chick-fil-A One guide so the app pays you back. If the chicken-sandwich price is what brought you here, compare it with the Big Mac price and the Burger King menu — and the McDonald’s menu for the full picture.
