When the popular Atlanta-based chain replaced its classic barbecue sauce with the smokehouse barbecue sauce, some Chick-fil-A fans were not pleased.
But on Tuesday, the restaurant announced the return of the original sauce.
"You asked for it, and we listened. The original Barbeque Sauce is coming back," the franchise posted on its website.
After fans' responses on social media, a few petitions against the smokehouse sauce and an all-out grassroots campaign to #BringBacktheBBQ, Chick-fil-A decided the good stuff is finally back.
The original sauce will replace the smokehouse flavor nationwide, Chick-fil-A announced in its Tuesday press release.
"We thought we were introducing a bold, new flavor you would love," the company told consumers. "We heard (your feedback), so we're bringing back the original Barbeque Sauce in November."
