Chick-fil-A seems to constantly be adding new menu items to keep customers coming back, and now they are offering up a new twist on a favorite. The Mac & Cheese Kids' Meal expands the menu options for kids.

Parents of picky eaters can rejoice

Any parent knows that kids can be extremely picky eaters. Even at fast-food chains, it can be hard to find something they will eat.

Chick-fil-A has heard parents and has expanded its kids' menu in a tasty way. Kids can now choose grilled or crispy chicken strips or nuggets, or the new mac and cheese meal.

The meal includes an entree-sized portion of mac and cheese (medium cup), a side, a drink, and a prize. Prizes include things like cow-themed games and toys.

The sides available include chips, Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries, fruit, or applesauce. For the drink, they can pick from chocolate or white milk, orange or apple juice, frozen drinks, bottled water, or fountain drinks.

The new meal is available now

Even better, you don't have to wait to order the new meal because it's available now at locations across the country. This is the first non-chicken kids' meal, which seems a bit surprising.

Now, if your child enjoys a little meat with their meal, there is the option to add bacon to the mac and cheese for an added cost.

A shoutout to the new kids' meal prizes

Besides the new menu option, Chick-fil-A has updated its prizes/toys. Now being offered are a rollable cardboard Cow Kart, a Clip a Cow keychain, a Cow Case with a foldable game inside, or Hasbro Cow Games.

If your child doesn't want the toy, you can swap it out for a cup of ice cream instead.

Keeping kids and parents happy

More choices for kids mean parents will find it easier than ever to find something their little ones will eat and be happy about. You may want to make Chick-fil-A your next fast-food meal.
