Slim Chickens Drinks and Tea
Tea is a headline item at Slim Chickens, not an afterthought. The tea is brewed fresh in the restaurant and sold sweet, unsweet, peach and raspberry, in 20 oz and larger cups, next to lemonade and the standard fountain drink line. Sweet tea is the default order with a tender meal across most of the chain’s Southern footprint. For groups, the gallons are the practical buy: a gallon of sweet tea, unsweet tea or peach tea costs less than four individual cups and shows up in family meals and catering orders. The gallon of lemonade costs more than the tea gallons, which matches its higher ingredient cost.
Items and typical prices
Good to know
A few ordering notes. Tea and lemonade are also the drink options inside most meals, and swapping a fountain drink for tea does not change the meal price at most locations. Published calorie figures for the cups vary with size: sweet tea is listed at 200 to 325 calories across the 20 oz to 32 oz range, lemonade at 250 to 400, and unsweet tea at zero. A full gallon of sweet tea is listed at 1300 calories, which sounds dramatic until you divide it by the eight to ten glasses a gallon actually pours. If you are buying for an office or a team, one gallon of sweet and one gallon of unsweet covers nearly every preference at the table.
About these prices
Prices at Slim Chickens are set by each franchise location, so the figure you see in a restaurant in Arkansas can differ from the figure in Texas or Colorado. Delivery apps add their own markup on top, which is why the same meal can look one to three dollars higher on a delivery listing than it does on the board in the restaurant. On this site we publish a typical price for every item: a mid figure taken from several public listings across different states, checked in October 2026. Use these figures to plan your order and compare items with each other, then confirm the exact price at your local restaurant or in the official app before you pay. That habit will save you from surprises, because limited time items, featured items and seasonal items can change price or leave the menu without much notice.
