What Is Chick-Fil-A's Little Blue Menu?

Starbucks' Cotton Candy Frappuccino, Taco Bell's Hulk, and Chipotle's Quesarito are all fan-favorite secret menu items. But something you may not know about Chick-fil-A is that it also has exclusive offerings available through Little Blue Menu. This is a virtual kitchen (or delivery-only food establishment that operates without a storefront) that gives guests a taste of the restaurant's classics alongside new items. Established in 2021 in the Nashville area, the kitchen's name was inspired by the original Little Blue Menu that Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy launched with the first-ever CFA location in 1946. In 2023, the Nashville location closed and was succeeded by a virtual LBM kitchen with a physical 100-seat restaurant next to the University of Maryland campus. Patrons must still order digitally but can pick up their order in person.

Little Blue Menu offers a variety of side dishes that would be some of the biggest changes to hit Chick-fil-A if they ever reached the main roster. For one, it serves pizza, and not just your average cheese or pepperoni slices. LBM has a whole lineup of combinations, including Loaded Potato and Buff-lo Ranch. It does, of course, put its spin on the dish with a Chick-fil-A Pizza that features its classic chicken nuggets, dill pickles, and CFA sauce drizzled on top. Also on the menu? Crispy onion rings with a slightly sweet batter to balance out the onions' savory kick.

Chick-fil-A's Little Blue Menu also features items similar to the chain's mainstream offerings. First is its Original Chicken Sandwich, complete with a savory chicken patty, two dill pickles, and a toasted bun. Also in the sandwich section? A wide range of classic burgers made with seasoned patties and all of the basic burger fixings. You can dress it up with two patties or additional ingredients for extra flavor, like avocados and bacon.

Instead of the chain's staple nuggets that come crispy or grilled, Little Blue Menu offers bone-in and boneless wings. Its Sweet Kick sauce is both sweet and sour with a flavorful punch. If you order its traditional wings, you can choose between Old Bay seasoning, garlic parmesan dipping sauce, or buttermilk ranch sauce. And what's better than pairing wings with fries? At LBM, you can try regular shoestring fries or Sweet Potato Tots. Perhaps our ordering tips for getting the best Chick-fil-A waffle fries will work here, too, like saucing them up in an extra container for evenly rich flavor.

And you can't have dinner at LBM without trying some of its exclusive desserts. While not as extensive as the rest of the menu, this section offers a sweet and creamy cinnamon bun or a tangy lemon pie bar to round out your meal.

Although Chick-fil-A's Little Blue Menu isn't easily accessible outside of Maryland, it has become a niche tourist destination. Many customers come in with a laundry list of items they want to try, though this has led to mixed reviews. One reviewer writing for Wootton Common Sense in 2025 expressed that they could taste more pizza dough than sauce or chicken, and the burger wasn't a showstopper, either. "The signature burger was better than an average McDonald's burger but does not compare to those from burger-focused chains such as Shake Shack," they wrote. Something most reviewers can agree on? The delectable cinnamon bun. It's large, and its flaky, pastry-like crust and thick frosting make it a standout.

Unfortunately, guests have a limited time to try these items in person, as Streetcar Suburbs Publishing reports that the Little Blue Menu in College Park is set to close in early 2027. It will undergo reservations and convert to a regular Chick-fil-A. Fans took to Reddit to express their disappointment, with one writing, "Such a shame. Always liked the novelty of having the world's only lbm." Another echoed this sentiment, writing, "Makes me sad, I really like the chicken wings and my son loves the pizza. We'll be going more often over the next few months to get our fill!" While Chick-fil-A is a heavy hitter in the fast food industry, Little Blue Menu is a fun (if temporary) deviation from its main roster.
