Bojangles Drinks & Legendary Iced Tea: Sizes, Prices & Sweet-vs-Unsweet
You can't talk about Bojangles without talking about the tea. The Legendary Iced Tea isn't a throwaway fountain option here — it's a genuine reason people pull in, brewed fresh and poured by the gallon for half the cookouts in the Carolinas. So let's give the drinks their own page, sort out sweet versus unsweet, and find the best value on the board.

Legendary Iced Tea, decoded
Bojangles brews its tea fresh throughout the day, and there are two camps. Sweet is the Southern default — and it is properly sweet, brewed with the sugar in, not stirred in after. If you didn't grow up on Carolina sweet tea, ease in. Unsweet is a clean, strong black tea with nothing added, which is both the zero-calorie option and the secret weapon: order unsweet and add a touch of sweetener yourself to dial in exactly the level you want.
Legendary Iced Tea
Fresh-brewed, sweet or unsweet. The signature pour.
from ~ $2.29
Gallon of Tea
The value king for any gathering.
~ $6.99
Lemonade
Tart, cold, the non-tea crowd-pleaser.
~ $2.59The gallon is the real value play
Here's the move nobody talks about enough: a gallon of Legendary Iced Tea runs around $6.99. A gallon is roughly the equivalent of seven to eight medium cups — which would cost you north of $18 bought individually. For any family meal, cookout, or office lunch, grabbing the gallon (and a half-gallon at stores that offer it for smaller groups) is one of the smartest dollars you'll spend at Bojangles. Pair it with a family box and you've fed and watered a crowd for the price of two combos.
| Bulk tea | Roughly equals | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Half-Gallon (where offered) | ~ 4 medium cups | ~ $3.99 |
| Gallon | ~ 7–8 medium cups | ~ $6.99 |
Soft drinks, coffee & breakfast pours
Beyond the tea, the fountain generally pours Pepsi products — Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew and the lemon-lime option among them, depending on the location. Mornings add hot coffee (a solid ~$1.99) and, at many stores, orange juice to round out a biscuit. Bottled water is there for the sensible among us. None of it is reinventing the wheel, but it's all priced fairly and does the job next to the food.
Sweet vs unsweet: the calorie part
If you're keeping an eye on intake, this is the easiest win on the whole menu. A medium sweet tea carries roughly 180–200 calories of added sugar. The unsweet version is essentially zero. Switching one sweet tea to unsweet (and sweetening lightly yourself) can quietly save you a couple hundred calories without touching the food you actually came for. The full breakdown is in the nutrition guide.
Order unsweet, sweeten to taste
Total control over sweetness, and you can keep it near zero-calorie if you want.
Gallon for any group
~$6.99 beats buying 7–8 cups by a wide margin. The single best drink-value move.
Free refills (dine-in)
If you're eating in, fountain refills are typically free — size up only if you're taking it to go.
Coffee is underrated
At ~$1.99 with a biscuit, it's a perfectly good cheap breakfast coffee.
