What it is
Sharp cheddar whipped smooth with diced pimentos and the house seasoning. It sits alongside the chicken salads on the board and is easy to miss entirely — which is a shame, because it has a genuine following.
Pimento cheese is a Southern staple, and this is a properly made version: smooth rather than chunky, sharp rather than mild, and salty enough to work on a plain cracker.
One of the few vegetarian options
Chicken Salad Chick is not a strong restaurant for vegetarians, and pimento cheese is one of only two substantial options — the other being egg salad. It contains no meat.
Worth knowing: broccoli salad contains bacon despite looking vegetarian, which catches people out constantly. The allergen guide maps the rest.
How to order it
Three formats worth knowing. As a scoop it is around $4.29 — the cheapest scoop on the menu. As a sandwich it works best grilled. And as the Pimento Cheese BLT it becomes the heaviest item Chicken Salad Chick sells, reaching up to 940 calories on a croissant.
If your location carries spicy pimento cheese, most regulars rate it above the original. It is the same price.
Questions about Pimento Cheese
Is Chicken Salad Chick pimento cheese vegetarian?
Yes — it contains no meat. It is one of only two substantial vegetarian options on the menu, alongside egg salad. It obviously contains dairy, and note that broccoli salad contains bacon despite appearing vegetarian.
Is pimento cheese gluten-free?
It contains no gluten ingredients, but the company certifies nothing as gluten-free and offers no cross-contamination guarantee. Ordered on a bed of lettuce with no crackers it is the standard gluten-avoidance approach — see the gluten-free guide for the honest limits.
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.
