Chick-fil-A is testing out new side options, including Sweet Potato Waffle Fries and classic French fries, as part of a potential menu expansion. Food blogger @snackwire shared a list of test items that also includes Fried Okra, Sweet Potato Soufflé, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Sweet Potato Tots, Onion Rings, and Cornbread. These new options are currently being tested at select locations like Chick-fil-A’s Little Blue Kitchen in College Park, Maryland, and Truett’s or Dwarf House locations in Georgia.
The variety of new sides marks a departure from Chick-fil-A’s usual offerings, which have been limited to items like waffle fries, mac and cheese, and salads. This testing phase focuses on classic comfort foods, with a Southern flair, alongside more traditional fast-food choices like straight fries.
Customers near these test locations can provide feedback on these new side options, essentially being part of a limited-time focus group with the convenience of a drive-thru. And for those who have grown accustomed to Chick-fil-A’s iconic waffle fries, the introduction of straight-cut fries may bring a sense of nostalgia as the menu evolves.
