When Does Chick-fil-A Serve Lunch?
By Lana Kisner | November 5, 2023
When lunchtime comes around, it means Chick-fil-A’s chicken sandwiches and waffle fries are up for grabs! All Chick-fil-A restaurants start serving lunch at 10:30 a.m. and sell lunch menu items until closing time, which is typically around 10 p.m. Just keep in mind that Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays, so never show up there on a Sunday with an empty stomach!
While 10:30 a.m. marks the official start of the lunch menu at Chick-fil-A, you may be wondering if you can order your favorite lunch items during Chick-fil-A’s breakfast hours. Read on to find out everything you need to know before heading over to your nearest location.
Can You Order Lunch Items During Breakfast Hours?
Chick-fil-A officially starts serving lunch at 10:30 a.m., but some restaurants allow lunch items to be ordered during breakfast hours. So, if you’re craving Chick-n-Strips or a Cobb Salad at 9:30 a.m., you may be able to get them!
Since Chick-fil-A restaurants are individually owned and operated, ordering lunch items during breakfast hours varies by location, says Chick-fil-A on an X thread below.

The best thing you can do is just ask nicely, and they might accommodate your request! Like most fast-food chains, Chick-fil-A has strict hours for their menu items to serve more efficiently. Also note that if you order lunch items during breakfast or vice versa, be prepared to wait a little longer.
Now that you know Chick-fil-A’s lunch hours, let’s take a look at what you can order on their lunch menu.
What Is on Chick-fil-A’s Lunch Menu?
Chick-fil-A’s lunch menu includes fried and grilled chicken sandwiches, wraps, chicken nuggets, salads, and side items. Meals come with waffle fries and a drink, but you can order another side item for an additional charge.
1. Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich
This is a classic menu item for all Chick-fil-A fans. It features a breaded, fried chicken breast and dill pickle chips on a toasted buttery bun.
2. Chick-fil-A Deluxe Sandwich
Chick-fil-A’s Deluxe Sandwich is like the original but with the addition of lettuce, tomato, and American cheese. You can also request it to be made with Colby Jack or Pepper Jack cheeses and add bacon for an upcharge.
3. Spicy Chicken Sandwich
This is a hot take on the original chicken sandwich. The breaded chicken breast is seasoned with a blend of spicy peppers and served with dill pickle chips on a toasted, buttery bun.
4. Spicy Deluxe Sandwich
The Spicy Deluxe Sandwich is the best choice for a hearty sandwich with many flavors. It features a breaded chicken breast seasoned with spicy peppers paired with lettuce, tomatoes, dill pickle chips, and Pepper Jack cheese on a toasted and buttered bun. You can swap the Pepper Jack cheese for Colby Jack or American cheese and add bacon for an upcharge.
5. Grilled Chicken Sandwich
This is a fresh and healthy spin on a classic fast-food chicken sandwich. It features a lemon-herb marinated chicken breast that’s grilled and served with lettuce and tomatoes on a toasted multigrain bun.
6. Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich
This one is like the original grilled chicken sandwich but with the additional toppings of Colby Jack cheese and applewood smoked bacon.
7. Chick-fil-A Cool Wrap
Chick-fil-A’s Cool Wrap takes the grilled chicken breast, shredded Monterey and Cheddar cheeses, and green leaf lettuce and wraps it all in a flaxseed flour flatbread. I highly recommend adding their Avocado Lime Ranch dressing to your wrap!
8. Chick-fil-A Nuggets
Chick-fil-A Nuggets are bite-sized pieces of chicken breast that are breaded, seasoned, and pressure-cooked in peanut oil. These are one of the most popular items on the menu and come with your choice of Chick-fil-A’s dipping sauces.
9. Grilled Nuggets
If you prefer grilled chicken nuggets over fried, these are the way to go. They also come with your choice of dipping sauce.
10. Chick-n-Strips
If you love chicken tenders, Chick-n-Strips are one of the best items to order at Chick-fil-A. These are boneless chicken strips that are breaded and pressure-cooked in peanut oil, just like their nuggets. Order them with your favorite dipping sauce, and you’re in for a treat!
11. Cobb Salad
The Cobb Salad combines fresh veggies, boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, and your favorite Chick-fil-A chicken for a more health-conscious and protein-packed meal. Choose your salad dressing and enjoy!
12. Spicy Southwest Salad
This salad brings on Tex-Mex flavors with mixed greens, roasted corn, seasoned tortilla chips, black beans, red bell peppers, and poblano chiles. Add your favorite chicken from Chick-fil-A and pair it with creamy salsa dressing for a burst of flavor.
13. Market Salad
The Market Salad combines grilled chicken slices with mixed greens, fresh fruits, and crumbled blue cheese and is served with granola and roasted almonds. I always pair mine with the Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette dressing!
