You can smell it before you even see it. That warm, savory aroma of fried chicken sandwiches and waffle fries floats through the halls of the University of North Texas (UNT) Student Union. If you’ve ever walked near the food court at 11555 Union Circle, you know exactly what I mean. It's Chick-fil-A. Or at least, it was.

Once a favorite among students for a mid-lecture snack or a much-needed comfort meal, Chick-fil-A Denton (UNT campus location) has recently become...well, a little harder to find open.

🥪 When It’s Running, The Menu Slaps

Let’s get one thing straight: when this location is open, the food is on point. Chick-fil-A has built its brand on simplicity, consistency, and flavor—and this campus outlet has followed suit.

🔥 Fan Favorites You Can Expect:

• Original Chicken Sandwich – Golden, juicy, and somehow always perfect.

• Spicy Deluxe – The bold cousin of the original, with extra flavor and a crispy edge.

• Grilled Nuggets – Surprisingly tasty and protein-packed.

• Waffle Fries – Arguably better than most sit-down restaurants.

• Cobb Salad – For the days you want to be “good” but still indulge.

• Frosted Lemonade – Texas heat? Meet your match. 🍋❄️

Breakfast, too, is usually available and worth waking up for:

• Chick-n-Minis

• Chicken Biscuits

• Hash Brown Bowls

💡 Tip: Ask for a side of honey roasted BBQ sauce. Thank me later.

🕐 But Wait—Is It Even Open?

Here’s the catch: as of 2025, the Denton campus Chick-fil-A is temporarily closed. Yup, all 7 days. No early morning chicken biscuits. No lunch lines. No waffle fries.

Whether it’s due to school calendar adjustments, staffing shortages, or maintenance issues, UNT’s Chick-fil-A at the Student Union currently lists its hours as:
