The kids menu at Chicken Salad Chick is called Little Chicks and it is genuinely good value — around $6.05 including a side, a drink and a cookie. The catch is that a lot of parents never find out it exists, because several franchises do not print it on the board.
If you do not see it listed, ask. It will almost certainly be available.
Allergy note, up front
The PB&J contains peanuts. The default Little Chick scoop is often Classic Carol or Fancy Nancy, which contains pecans. If nuts are a concern, specify Classic Carol explicitly rather than accepting the default. See the allergen guide.

What is actually included
Unlike a lot of chains where the kids meal is just a smaller entree, Little Chicks bundles the whole thing: the main item, one side, a drink and a cookie. For around $6.05 that is competitive with anywhere.
Popular side choices for children are fresh fruit (80 calories), mac & cheese (350) and grape salad (230). Drinks usually include an Honest Kids juice box, which is around 35–40 calories — a meaningful difference from a fountain soda if that matters to you.
Add-ons
Small extras are cheap and worth knowing about:
- Extra crackers — roughly $0.99–$1.49
- Sugar cookie — roughly $0.99–$1.49
- Pickle spear — $0.25
- Honest Kids juice box — around $1.00 if bought separately
Ordering for a picky eater
Realistically, three items do most of the work here. Kids mac & cheese is the safest bet for a child who does not eat chicken salad. Half PB&J covers the next tier of fussiness. And the Barbie-Q flavor — sweet, smoky, no visible bits — is the chicken salad most likely to be accepted by a child who claims not to like chicken salad.
Ask for a sample before committing. It is free, it is officially encouraged, and it saves you buying a meal that comes back untouched.
Kids menu questions
How much is a kids meal at Chicken Salad Chick?
Around $6.05 at most locations, and that includes a side, a drink and a cookie — which is unusually complete for a kids meal at this price point. Some franchises price slightly higher, up to about $7.00.
What age is the Little Chicks menu for?
Ages 10 and under. Staff are not usually strict about it, but that is the stated intent and the portions are sized accordingly — a Little Chick scoop is roughly half an adult scoop.
Is the kids menu on the menu board?
Not always. Several franchises treat Little Chicks as a request-only menu rather than printing it, which is why parents regularly report not knowing it exists. If you do not see it, ask — it will almost certainly be available.
Are there allergy concerns with the kids menu?
The PB&J contains peanuts, which is worth flagging clearly if you are ordering for a group of children. The Little Chick scoop is usually Classic Carol or Fancy Nancy — and Fancy Nancy contains pecans, so ask for Classic Carol if nuts are a concern. Our allergen guide maps this properly.
