Drinks at Chicken Salad Chick

Tea is the drink this menu is built around. It is brewed in the restaurant through the day, poured sweet across most of the South and unsweet for everyone else. Fountain drinks cover the soda case and bottled water is the grab and go option. Feeding a group? Gallons of both teas live on the catering menu.

Sweet tea is the default pour in most dining rooms, and the unsweet is brewed the same way. Ordering for a table? A gallon from the catering menu usually beats a round of separate cups, and it is the same tea the kitchen brews fresh all day, every single day.

The cup math: tea and fountain drinks pour in 24 oz and 32 oz cups, and the bigger cup is the better rate per ounce. Anyone feeding a table should skip cups entirely and look at the catering gallons, which pour ten to twelve cups each. Sweet tea is the default across most of the South, and the unsweet is brewed the same way in the same kitchen, so the choice is sugar, not quality.

The fountain case pours the Coke family: Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Cherry Coke and a light lemonade, next to the brewed teas. Most guests never get past the tea, because the sweet tea is the drink this kitchen is known for, but the fountain is there for the table member who wants bubbles with lunch. Either way the pour sizes are the same two cups, and the drink is built to sit next to a scoop, not compete with it.

Sweet or unsweet is also a caffeine and sugar decision, not just a taste one. The teas carry both caffeine and, in the sweet, a real amount of sugar. For children and for anyone skipping both, the fountain's light lemonade and the bottled water are the two pours on this page with neither. The menu does not label them that way, but the drinks page is small enough that the pattern is easy to see.

Every dish above links to its own page with its price, calories and allergens in one place. Prices can differ a little between restaurants, so treat this page as the plan and the menu board as the final word.
