Chick-fil-A may have been dethroned as America’s number one fast food chain, but it remains in the top three—most likely due to its popular menu. Despite new inventions such as the Maple Pepper Bacon Sandwich and Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, Chick-fil-A will always be remembered for its iconic chicken and unique waffle fries.
Chick-fil-A’s waffle fries distinguish the restaurant from its competitors and form an excellent foundation for the popular Chick-fil-A bowl, which includes fries, nuggets, mac and cheese, ranch, and honey-roasted barbecue sauce. Even while the chain has faced backlash over its French fries, the waffle fries remain a favorite. Customers were outraged when word spread that Chick-fil-A was serving more traditional “fast food” french fries.
Is Chick-fil-A changing its fries?
The Instagram account @snackbetch recently posted a snapshot of straight-cut fries with “NEW!! Chick-fil-A French Fries” written above them. Naturally, the comments section exploded, with many doubting the choice.
“Who asked for this,” one person said. Another warned, “They’d better not replace the waffle fries.” “Why on earth would they replace the waffle fries?” another inquired.
However, some customers soon accepted the modification.
“Dang, Chick-fil-A is killing it with all these new menu items lately,” one Instagram user commented. “The waffle fries get cold too fast for my liking, so I’m excited,” a different person said.
Well, we have good news for waffle fry fans—and possibly bad news for those intending to rush to Chick-fil-A to taste their French fries. Chick-fil-A will not replace its waffle fries with straight-cut fries; most Chick-fil-A locations do not even serve this type of fry.
Chick-fil-A’s Little Blue Menu French Fries
Chick-fil-A’s French fries are exclusively available in the Little Blue Menu concept restaurant in College Park, Maryland. This single restaurant offers the classic Chick-fil-A menu and unique, ever-changing dishes that the brand is experimenting with. Currently, the menu features conventional burgers, wings, pizza, and—you guessed it—French fries.
Straight-cut fries from Little Blue Menu are fried in canola oil and seasoned with the restaurant’s proprietary blend. They are currently listed on the sides menu among Chick-fil-A’s waffle fries, onion rings, and sweet potato tots.
At this moment, it does not appear that Chick-fil-A intends to introduce these fries to restaurants across the country—in fact, it has not addressed adding any of the unique Little Blue Menu products to its whole menu. But don’t worry; the waffle fries appear safe regardless, as the two fried sides are already cohabiting on Little Blue Menu’s menu.
However, Chick-fil-A has heard fans’ desires for another French fries alternative, so this could be the first item to leave the Little Blue Menu and find its way into CFA restaurants nationwide.
