How much are Chick-fil-A fries?
Chick-fil-A waffle fries cost about $2.19 to $2.59 for a small, $2.45 to $2.99 for a medium and $2.99 to $3.39 for a large. Those are the low and high prices across eight Chick-fil-A stores in six states, read from the chain's ordering menus in late October 2026.
The large is the best deal. It holds 179 grams of fries against 125 for a medium, about 43 percent more, yet it cost only 40 to 54 cents more at the stores we checked. A small holds 96 grams. If you are sharing, one large usually beats two smalls on both price and quantity.
In a meal, moving from a medium to a large side added about 40 to 54 cents as well. Delivery apps tend to price fries higher than the counter.
What sizes do Chick-fil-A fries come in?
Chick-fil-A fries come in small, medium and large. Medium is the default side in an entrée meal, and the small is the size in a Kid's Meal. The table below lists each size with official calories, fat and sodium from Chick-fil-A's Nutrition & Allergens page. Prices for entrées and drinks are on our Chick-fil-A menu page.

How much is a Chick-fil-A sandwich with fries?
A Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich with medium waffle fries costs about $7.44 to $8.84 if you buy the two separately, based on the same eight stores. Add a drink, and the Chicken Sandwich meal is the better buy at about $8.85 to $10.39, which was 80 cents to $1.15 cheaper than buying all three items on their own.
That combination has 840 calories before the drink: 420 for the sandwich and 420 for the fries. Our Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich page has every sandwich price, and Chick-fil-A nuggets covers nugget meals.
What are the ingredients in Chick-fil-A fries?
Chick-fil-A waffle fries are waffle-cut potatoes cooked in high-oleic canola oil and sprinkled with sea salt. Besides potatoes and canola oil, the official ingredient list includes a vegetable oil blend (canola, palm and soy), modified food starch from corn, potato and tapioca, rice flour, salt, leavening, dextrin, xanthan gum and dextrose.
The fries do not list any major allergens, including milk and wheat. Unlike the chicken, they are not cooked in peanut oil. Chick-fil-A still warns that its kitchens share equipment and prep areas, so it does not label the fries gluten-free; it does put them on its list of options for guests trying to limit gluten.
Can you get Chick-fil-A fries without salt?
Yes, you can ask. Salt is added after frying, and the Chick-fil-A App lists it as a separate recipe ingredient on the medium and large fries, so you can request them unsalted in the app or at the counter. A medium order has 240 mg of sodium with the standard salt, and a large has 340 mg.
Does Chick-fil-A have sweet potato fries or other sides?
No. Sweet potato fries were not on the menu at any of the eight Chick-fil-A stores we checked in October 2026; waffle fries are the only fries. If you want a different side, Chick-fil-A offers Waffle Potato Chips in original or Chick-fil-A Sauce flavor ($2.09 to $2.59, about 210 to 220 calories), mac and cheese, a fruit cup, a side salad, the Kale Crunch Side and chicken noodle soup.
If calories matter, the swap makes a big difference. Against 420 calories for medium fries, a medium fruit cup has 70, the Kale Crunch Side 170, a cup of chicken noodle soup 190 and Waffle Potato Chips 220. Medium mac and cheese (450) and the Side Salad (470) are not lighter. Most of these swaps cost more than fries, though; a medium fruit cup or mac and cheese ran $4.09 to $4.59 on its own. Calories for every side are on our Chick-fil-A nutrition page.
