What it is

Your chosen chicken salad flavor with crispy bacon and melted cheddar, grilled. At roughly $10.79 it is among the more expensive sandwiches on the board, and it is the one most regulars name when asked what is actually worth ordering.

The bacon here is a real ingredient rather than a garnish — it goes in as strips, not crumbles, which is what separates this from simply ordering Sassy Scotty (which already contains bacon bits and cheddar in the mix).

Bacon Cheddar Melt vs just ordering Sassy Scotty

A fair question, since Sassy Scotty already has bacon and cheddar in it. The difference:

  • Sassy Scotty has bacon bits and shredded cheddar mixed through cold salad — the bacon is a flavor note.
  • Bacon Cheddar Melt has bacon strips and melted cheese on top — the bacon is texture.

Order Sassy Scotty in a Bacon Cheddar Melt and you get both, which is roughly $10.79 well spent and around 650 calories. Order Classic Carol in it instead and you get a cleaner bacon-and-cheese sandwich for the same money.

What it costs you

Around 650 calories for the sandwich alone. As a meal with a side and a drink, the range runs roughly 600 to 750 at the light end and comfortably past 1,300 if you take mac and cheese and a large sweet tea. The nutrition guide has the maths.

Questions about Bacon Cheddar Melt

How much is the Bacon Cheddar Melt?

About $10.79 a la carte or $12.59 as a meal with a side and a drink. It is one of the pricier sandwiches on the menu.

Is the Bacon Cheddar Melt worth it?

It is the sandwich regulars most often name as worth the money. Whether it is worth $1.80 more than the plain Chicken Salad Melt comes down to whether you want bacon strips as texture — if you just want bacon flavour, ordering Sassy Scotty in the cheaper melt gets you most of the way.

Do Chicken Salad Chick prices vary by location?

Yes, noticeably. Nearly every restaurant is franchise-owned and sets its own menu board prices, so a spread of 10–20% between markets is normal. Third-party delivery apps add another 15–25% on top. Every price on this site is a researched midpoint, not a quote.
