Chicken Salad Chick Menu & Prices: All 12 Flavors, Meals, Quick Chicks & Sides

Last updated: November 1, 2026

Chicken Salad Chick does one thing and builds an entire restaurant around it: Southern-style chicken salad, made from scratch every morning, in twelve different flavors — each one named after a real woman in founder Stacy Brown’s life. Around those twelve scoops sits a compact fast-casual menu of sandwiches and melts, fresh deli sides, two gourmet soups, a mac and cheese, and buttercream-frosted cookies. There are now more than 340 locations in 25 states, yet the menu has stayed deliberately small, which makes it easy to learn once and order with confidence anywhere.

One thing to know before the prices: Chicken Salad Chick does not publish a single national price list. Each restaurant sets its own prices, and the chain’s own website shows the menu without prices until you pick a location. So every price in this guide comes from one named reference restaurant — Chicken Salad Chick at 2776 Enterprise Drive, Opelika, Alabama, just down the road from Auburn, where the chain began — read on 1 November 2026 from that store’s own merchant-set menu listing. A cross-check of a second store (Germantown, Tennessee) matched Opelika exactly on every core meal, so treat these figures as a reliable guide to what a typical Chick charges; your local restaurant may sit a dollar or so either side. Prices marked with a + are starting prices that rise with add-ons.

Chicken Salad Chick Menu at a Glance

The 12 Chicken Salad Flavors

Every flavor starts from the same base — shredded chicken, finely minced celery, mayonnaise and the chain’s secret seasoning — and every flavor costs the same; you never pay extra for choosing a fancy one. The twelve fall naturally into four families.

The Classics

Fruity & Nutty

Savory

Spicy

Beyond the twelve, the chain rotates limited-time flavors and sandwiches through the year, so a flavor board can carry a seasonal guest your store is testing.

Pimento Cheese & Egg Salad

The scoop case holds three more residents. Pimento Cheese is the chain’s traditional Southern spread; Spicy Pimento Cheese turns the heat up; and Egg Salad is the lightest scoop of the three. Any of them can be ordered exactly like a chicken salad — as a scoop, in a sandwich or in a melt — and the pimento cheese is what makes the Pimento Cheese BLT-style builds and melts work. All three are meat-free, which makes this corner of the menu the vegetarian’s home base.

Meals: Scoops, Sandwiches & Melts — With Prices

The menu is built as meals. Choose any chicken salad flavor (or pimento cheese, or egg salad), choose your format, and the meal includes your choice of a fresh side or a cup of soup, a pickle spear and a cookie. Sandwiches come on your choice of a flaky croissant, traditional white or wheatberry bread.

Prices below are from the Opelika, Alabama reference restaurant (checked 1 November 2026); see the note at the top of this guide.

A La Carte & Kids

If you want just the sandwich or just the scoop, both are sold on their own:

Quick Chicks, the Family Meal & Catering

Quick Chicks are the chain’s take-home tubs — your favorite flavors packed in shareable sizes for the fridge, the office or the tailgate. The Small serves 2 and the Large serves 4, and they come with crackers. This is also the backbone of the chain’s catering: Quick Chicks, large fresh sides and the Family Meal are how most people feed a group.

A note on the Family Meal: at $58.49 in Opelika it was also $58.49 in Germantown, Tennessee — but we saw it as high as the mid-$70s at a Kansas store, so family and catering prices vary more by location than the core meals do. Always confirm with your own store before a big order.

Fresh Sides, Chips, Soups & Mac

The four fresh sides are made daily and are half the reason regulars come back. A regular side is $4.09 at the reference restaurant, and any of them can be the side that comes with your meal.

Sweet Treats & Drinks

Drinks are $2.89+ at the reference store across the fountain and tea line — sweet tea, unsweet tea, half-and-half tea, lemonade, light lemonade, strawberry lemonade and the usual Coke fountain range — with bottled water at $2.59. Remember, the cookie that comes with every meal is a frosted buttercream cookie, so dessert may already be handled before you reach this section.

What to Order First at Chicken Salad Chick

If it is your first visit, order the 2 Scoop Meal with Classic Carol and Fancy Nancy. Carol is the original recipe everything else is built on; Nancy shows you what the chain does with fruit and nuts. Together they teach you the whole menu in one tray, and the included side should be the Grape Salad — it is the side regulars talk about most, and it doubles as a light dessert.

If you like heat, make it Jalapeño Holly plus Kickin’ Kay Lynne: Holly is a clean, honest warmth, and Kay Lynne is the fully loaded end of the scale — Buffalo, ranch, bacon, cheddar, jalapeño and Sriracha in one scoop. If you want a sandwich, the Chick Melt on a croissant with Sassy Scotty is the richest build on the menu, while the Turkey Club is the safe, classic deli order. Feeding people at home, a Large Quick Chick of Fancy Nancy plus a Large Fresh Side of Grape Salad is the combination that disappears fastest at gatherings — and at $16.89 for four servings of the salad, it undercuts most deli counters.

Calories & Nutrition, Honestly

Chicken Salad Chick publishes a full nutrition guide on its website, and it is the document to trust for exact figures, because the chain updates it as recipes change. The useful shape of it: a standard scoop is 4 ounces, and across the twelve core flavors a scoop lands roughly between 330 and 460 calories in the chain’s published guide — Fruity Fran sits at the light end, the cranberry-and-almond Cranberry Kelli at the top — with Egg Salad the lightest scoop in the case at about 250. Choosing the scoop on its own, or on greens, keeps a meal at the modest end; putting the same scoop into a croissant sandwich or a melt adds the bread and cheese on top. If you are counting precisely, open the chain’s current nutrition PDF before you order rather than relying on any third-party calorie table — copies circulating online are from different years and disagree with each other.

Vegetarian, Gluten-Free & Allergy Notes

• Vegetarian: Pimento Cheese, Spicy Pimento Cheese and Egg Salad are all meat-free and can be ordered as scoops, sandwiches or melts; the fresh sides, soups’ mac and cheese, and salads give you a full meal without chicken.
• Gluten-free: Store menu boards mark all of the chicken salads themselves as gluten free, and a scoop with crackers swapped out — or the scoop served on the spring greens — is the natural gluten-free route. Breads and the croissant are not, so say so when you order and ask the store to confirm, as preparation areas are shared.
• Allergies: Every flavor is mayonnaise-based, so egg is everywhere; Fancy Nancy and Lauryn’s Lemon Basil contain pecans, and Cranberry Kelli contains almonds. The Grape Salad topping includes pecans. The chain publishes an allergen guide alongside its nutrition information — check it for your specific allergy, and tell the staff before ordering.

Practical Information

Finding a restaurant. With 340+ locations across 25 states — heaviest in the Southeast and growing fast through the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic — the chain’s own site (linked below) carries the store locator; headquarters is in Atlanta, Georgia, and the first restaurant still anchors the story in Auburn, Alabama.

Hours. There is no national timetable. Most Chicks are lunch-and-early-dinner restaurants, many close on Sundays (a Chick-fil-A-style tradition the chain keeps in many communities), and all close on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Check your store’s own hours before a Sunday trip especially.

Ordering. Order at the counter and the food is brought to your table; many locations have a drive-thru, and the chain’s app and website take pickup orders. Delivery runs through the usual apps, where prices can sit higher than in store — the prices in this guide came from a delivery listing, so the counter may actually treat you slightly better.

Groups & catering. Quick Chicks, Large Fresh Sides and the Family Meal cover most group needs without a special menu; larger events can be arranged through your local store’s catering program.

FAQs

How much is a meal at Chicken Salad Chick?

At our Opelika, Alabama reference restaurant, meals run from $12.49 for a Scoop Meal to $15.79 for a Bacon Cheddar Melt Meal, with the Sandwich Meal at $13.19. Every meal includes a fresh side or cup of soup, a pickle spear and a cookie. Prices are set per store, so expect a dollar or so of variation.

How much does a Quick Chick cost?

A Small Quick Chick (serves 2) is $9.39 and a Large Quick Chick (serves 4) is $16.89 at the reference restaurant. Any chicken salad flavor, pimento cheese or egg salad can be packed as a Quick Chick.

What is the most popular Chicken Salad Chick flavor?

Classic Carol is the signature — the original recipe that started the company — and Fancy Nancy, with Fuji apples, grapes and pecans, is the dressed-up favorite regulars name most. First-timers do well ordering one of each in a 2 Scoop Meal.

What does a scoop at Chicken Salad Chick include?

A Scoop Meal pairs one 4-ounce scoop of any flavor with crackers, your choice of a fresh side or a cup of soup, a pickle spear and a cookie ($12.49 at the reference store). A plain a la carte scoop on its own is $8.89.

Is Chicken Salad Chick chicken salad gluten free?

The chicken salads themselves are marked gluten free on store menu boards; order them as a scoop or over greens and skip the crackers and bread. Preparation areas are shared, so confirm with your store if you have celiac disease.

Does Chicken Salad Chick cater?

Yes. Quick Chicks, Large Fresh Sides ($11.69) and the Family Meal ($58.49 at the reference store) are the standard building blocks, and local stores run a catering program for larger events. Family-format prices vary more by location than meal prices, so confirm with your store.

Is Chicken Salad Chick open on Sunday?

Many locations close on Sundays, following the practice noted in the chain’s history, and all close on Thanksgiving and Christmas — but it is set store by store, so check your local restaurant’s hours.

Who founded Chicken Salad Chick, and where?

Stacy Brown started by selling her homemade chicken salad door-to-door in Auburn, Alabama; she and her husband Kevin opened the first restaurant there in 2008. The company is now headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and has grown past 340 restaurants in 25 states. The flavors are named after real women in Stacy’s life.

Before You Go

• Prices are per-store. The figures above are one named Alabama restaurant’s, checked 1 November 2026, cross-checked against a Tennessee store. Your Chick’s menu board is the final word.
• Go 2 Scoop on a first visit — two flavors teach you the menu faster than any single order, and the price step from one scoop is small.
• Grape Salad is not a garnish. It is the side people drive for; if your store has run out by late afternoon, the Broccoli Salad is the regulars’ second choice.
• Taking it home? A Large Quick Chick serves four for $16.89 at the reference store and keeps well in the fridge — the best-value line on the whole menu.
• Sunday plans need a check — many Chicks are closed.
