Believe or not, but relatively few people know about Chick-Fil-A’s secret menu. What do you know about it?
This article is going to show you some items on Chick-fil-A’s secret menu. If you’re familiar with Dwarf House, the original Chick-fil-A, the secret food menu is something you know all about.
Chick-fil-A is part and parcel made of red Georgia clay. This is indisputable ever since a small eatery called the Dwarf Grille opened right under Atlanta’s nose in tiny Hapeville, Georgia back in 1946. Since then millions have become loyal fans of the restaurant known for the bad-spelling cows singing how to “Eat More Chiken.”
What’s On Chick-fil-A’s Secret Menu?
How do you get to see Chick-Fil-A’s secret menu? You generally can’t be the drive-thru — these are dine-in options only. And you’ve got to ask (be nice) one of the workers. That’s how you’ll get to try some of these awesome secret recipes via Chick-Fil-A’s secret menu.
Spicy Chicken And Egg Biscuit
The Spicy Chicken and Egg Biscuit is something you’ll never see on the Chick-fil-A menu, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have it.
How To Order It: Just tell the cashier that you want to add egg to your Chicken Biscuit.
Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is what you get when you ask for hot sauce on your Chicken Sandwich. The way they do it is just great.
The Double Decker Sandwich
The Double Decker Sandwich is one that very few Chick-fil-A servers can master. But for those that do, it’s a great treat.
Chicken Quesadilla
Chicken Quesadillas aren’t something you’d normally think would be served at Chick-fil-A, but this food item is so good that it should be added officially.
Spicy Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich
We all know that chicken is Chick-fil-A’s thing, so this Spicy Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich is a specialty that is right up their alley.
The Double Double Down
Special shoutout to the Instagram accounts @nocatsgotluv4me and @pass_the_salt and @hack_themenu for their endeavors in the world of secret menus. Check them all out for more food hacks.
How Do You Order From Chick-fil-A’s Secret Menu?
Chick-fil-A’s secret menu can be ordered by asking an employee for some of the options available. That means you can substitute turkey for chicken on the chicken sandwich. That means you can add hot sauce to your chicken tenders. You can also get an assortment of sauces applied to your Waffle Fries.
Final Word
If you’ve ever been to Chick-fil-A, you may know that those delicious chicken biscuits or waffle fries can be ordered a number of ways. One reason why is because Chick-fil-A has a secret menu.
There are so many good things to eat at Chick-fil-A. You can also try the restaurant’s Little Blue Menu.

I wish I had a bigger stomach to try it all. The dumplings are classic and delicious with flavors true to China spice. The crispy beef was slightly underwhelming.

2345 Cascade Rd SW, Atlanta, GA 30311 | (404) 755-2807Here is what a reviewer says about Hans Express: “Han’s is a simple place situated in southwest Atlanta. The prices are incredibly reasonable and the servings are large. My wife and I can typically get two meals from from both the lunch and dinner sized portions. I’ve certainly had better Chinese food, but Han’s is very good and is one of my favorites in Atlanta. I’m not a big fan of the plain fried rice, but for $1.50 more you can upgrade to pork fried rice. In addition, the wings are small but are very much worth the low price.”

Here is what one reviewer says about Fortune Cookie Restaurant: “Kung Pao Chicken and Shrimp with Lobster Sauce tasted fresh and flavorful.

The staff was courteous and patient given the large number of people in line (they are only doing take out orders at this time). Located in a shopping plaza so parking was plentiful. Wait time was reasonable – great location so I will definitely go back.”
Malaya Restaurant
857 Collier Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318 | (404) 609-9991
Here’s what one reviewer says about Malaya Restaurant: “Chinese food… very delicious. Don’t fret if it’s busy, it is worth the wait. The staff was very helpful and observant. It has a great interior. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I loved.”

The Cinnamon rolls were soft and perfect, especially since there was no icing on them. We had the fried catfish and fried chicken and they were cooked to the perfect crunch. And the peach cobbler was our favorite dessert. Definitely brought me back to my home roots. A must try if you are visiting Atlanta.”
