The Cherry Berry drinks from last spring are coming back this fall, and it’s finally in its second year! It’s an upgrade from the previous lineup as it adds the crisp and refreshing remix of Cherry Berry & Sprite, which is Chick-fil-A’s first-ever seasonal soda debut. It features a mix of crisp Sprite with a blend of cherry, blueberry, and cranberry natural flavors.

The new drink will be joining these familiar favorites: 

  • Cherry Berry Lemonade – Made with Chick-fil-A’s classic Lemonade drink with a sweet fruity remix of cherry, blueberry, and cranberry natural flavors. 
  • Cherry Berry Frosted Lemonade – Features a creamy blend of their Icedream dessert with the classic Chick-fil-A Lemonade mixed with cherry, blueberry, and cranberry natural flavors. 
  • Cherry Berry Sunjoy – This drink is a blend of Sweetened Iced Tea and Lemonade that is mixed with cherry, blueberry, and cranberry natural flavors. 

National Release of the Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich

Remember those Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwiches, which were a test release from Raleigh, North Carolina? Yup, those sandwiches from spring! It’s great news that they were a successful test menu item, which is why Chick-fil-A decided to release them nationwide as part of the fall menu. And that’s all on the power of guest demand! 

It features a toasted buttery pretzel bun with lettuce, sliced tomato, cheddar cheese, strips of applewood smoked bacon, and a side of Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce. The best part is that guests can choose their preferred filet to customize according to their taste. Choose among the original, spicy, or grilled. 

Allison Duncan, director of Chick-fil-A’s menu and packaging, said they are always looking for ways to surprise their guests with new and unique menu offerings. Duncan shared that their guests are always looking for bold and fun beverages, and the return of the Cherry Berry is their answer.

Chick-fil-A isn’t done just yet as they’re accompanying you for snack time. They’re debuting two new potato chip varieties in a new waffle-style cut. It resembles the chain’s classic Waffle Potato Fries! They’re also coming this August 18, and the good news is that they will be available as a permanent side item. You can get them in 7-ounce bags in select retail stores across the Atlantic and Southeast regions later this fall. 

Check them out: 

  • Original Flavor Waffle Potato Chips – Chick-fil-A’s classic waffle cut potato chips sprinkled with sea salt.
  • Chick-fil-A Sauce Flavored Waffle Potato Chips – Contains the same classic waffle cut potato chips, but flavored with the brand’s signature smoky and tangy Chick-fil-A sauce.

From The Club

Chick-fil-A is that one fast food place (aside from Starbucks) where I always await seasonal menu offers. For this fall, I’m excited to try the Pretzel Cheddar Club Sandwich in grilled, and the Chick-fil-A Sauce Flavored Waffle Potato Chips. As for the drinks, cherry is a drink that I don’t like, so I have to pass on that and maybe get a Lemonade or Sunjoy instead.
