We tried the new menu items early, and here is our honest review.
We know many of you are still trying to soak in the last few summer rays before the heat breaks and we start seeing pumpkin decor and falling leaves. We’re with you, but, apparently, many of our favorite brands have other plans.
With fans wanting cozy autumn vibes and pumpkin spice lattes earlier and earlier (hello, Summerween), many restaurants and brands are embracing an early fall. But, think of it this way: some schools are already back in session, the NFL preseason is officially underway, and, let’s face it, you’ve had plenty of time to try the summer menus that have been out since early spring.
So, let this be your two-week notice to get in your final Peach Milkshakes from Chick-fil-A before the chain transitions to fall. Because on Aug. 18, Chick-fil-A is releasing its fall menu—and it’s complete with three new sandwiches and a new drink, along with four returning fan favorites.
Chick-fil-A’s Fall 2025 Menu
Chick-fil-A’s fall menu features its brand-new Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich, available in three varieties: original, spicy, or grilled. The chicken chain originally tested the sandwich in Raleigh, N.C., in early spring 2024. Clearly, the pub-style sandwich was a success, as Chick-fil-A is bringing it nationwide for a limited time.
The Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich features a chicken filet topped with a slice of Cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a brand-new toasted pretzel bun. To tie it all together, each sandwich comes with a side of new Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce for a tangy finish—because what pairs better with a pub-style pretzel than a side of mustard?
In addition to the new sandwich, the fall menu also sees the return of the fan-favorite Cherry Berry drinks. The beverages, which feature a blend of cherry, blueberry, and cranberry, were originally released in April 2024 (at the same time as the pretzel sandwich test) and quickly became one of Chick-fil-A’s most popular seasonal drink flavors.
Originally, Chick-fil-A released the flavoring in its Lemonade, Sunjoy, Iced Tea, and Frosted Lemonade varieties—but this time around, the chain is also adding it to a soda. In fact, it’s releasing its first-ever seasonal soda offering with the new Cherry Berry & Sprite. The new pop adds the seasonal cherry, blueberry, and cranberry flavoring to a crispy Sprite for a refreshing beverage that combines the best of summer, fall, and winter flavors.
Chick-fil-A’s fall menu will be available at restaurants nationwide for a limited time. I tried the new items early, and here is my honest review.
My Honest Review of Chick-fil-A’s Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich and Cherry Berry & Sprite
As someone who prefers to spend her Sundays watching NFL football at a sports bar with a chicken sandwich in front of her, I feel uniquely qualified to review Chick-fil-A’s new tavern-inspired sandwich. Now, I know the chain has probably heard it a million times, but Chick-fil-A, if you were open on Sundays, I’d skip the bar altogether and grab this sandwich for my football watching instead.
The Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich might have taken a year to make it to nationwide markets, but it was worth the wait. The pretzel bun is deliciously savory, but not too heavy or overpowering. And while the pretzel bun is a winner in and of itself, for me, the true star of the show was the new Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce. It has the perfect hint of tang and complexity, but it’s not a straight-up Dijon mustard. The creaminess brings the powerful mustard flavor down a notch, so you get the same sophisticated mustard taste, but it’s not the only thing on your palette.
It takes a lot for me to skip putting Chick-fil-A sauce on my sandwich, but with the Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce, I didn’t feel the need to. The new Dijon is only available as long as the sandwich is, so I will certainly be stashing extra packets in my pantry for when it departs menus.
As for the new Cherry Berry & Sprite, I found the drink incredibly refreshing. It may be on the fall menu, but the crisp Sprite and sweet, fruity flavors work well in summer, too.
Chick-fil-A’s fall menu is a can’t miss, so, don’t!
