Cheddars Gallon Iced Tea: Price, Calories & Nutrition Guide
The Cheddars Gallon Iced Tea is the drink order built for a crowd: a full gallon of the restaurant’s iced tea, sold to go only, in your choice of sweet or one of four fruit flavors. It is the item you add when one glass per person was never going to be enough — family dinners at home, office lunches and any table that runs through refills fast.
Prices start at $5.79 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s for the plain and sweet gallons, with the flavored gallons at $7.79, and the official nutrition guide puts a gallon at 1,470 to 1,890 calories depending on flavor. This guide covers every option’s price, its calories and nutrition by flavor, what to pair it with, and how to order it online.
What Comes With the Gallon Iced Tea?
Order the Gallon Iced Tea and you choose one full gallon in a single flavor. The menu describes it as a gallon of the peach, raspberry, strawberry or mango flavored iced tea, with the plain and sweet teas rounding out the list — six options in all, split across two price points. It is a To Go only item, so the gallon leaves with your takeout order rather than arriving at a dine-in table.
- GAL Iced Tea — $5.79
- GAL Sweet Tea — $5.79
- GAL Peach Tea — $7.79
- GAL Mango Tea — $7.79
- GAL Strawberry Tea — $7.79
- GAL Raspberry Tea — $7.79
How Much Does the Gallon Iced Tea Cost?
The Gallon Iced Tea price starts at $5.79 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s. The plain and sweet gallons sit at that base, while the four flavored gallons — peach, mango, strawberry and raspberry — are $7.79 each. One flavor per gallon, so a table split between sweet tea loyalists and peach fans is looking at one gallon of each.

From $5.79
The value case is simple math against the same menu’s single glasses. The Fresh-Brewed Iced Teas start at $2.99 a glass, so one $5.79 gallon costs less than two glasses of tea — yet it pours for the whole group, not one seat. Even the $7.79 flavored gallons land well under a round of individual flavored teas for three or four people.
Prices can differ between restaurants, and the final total may change if you add extra items to your order. Check the price shown by your local Cheddar’s before checkout, because prices and availability are set by each location.
Gallon Iced Tea Nutrition and Calories
Cheddar’s official nutrition guide lists the gallon teas in its Family-Size Beverages section, and its figures match the Arlington menu’s displayed range exactly: 1,470 calories for the sweet gallon, up to 1,890 for the mango and strawberry gallons. Like every drink row in the guide, all five carry 0 grams of total fat and 0 milligrams of cholesterol — the numbers that move are the sugars, from 369 grams in the sweet gallon to 468 in the mango, spread across the whole gallon rather than a single glass.
| Flavor | Calories | Sodium | Total Carbs | Sugars | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sweet | 1,470 cals | 115 mg | 381 g | 369 g | 0 g |
| Peach | 1,880 cals | 270 mg | 481 g | 465 g | less than 1 g |
| Raspberry | 1,850 cals | 230 mg | 473 g | 456 g | 0 g |
| Strawberry | 1,890 cals | 250 mg | 485 g | 463 g | 0 g |
| Mango | 1,890 cals | 135 mg | 485 g | 468 g | 0 g |
One honest gap in the official figures: the guide prints no unsweetened gallon row. Its base gallon row is the Sweet tea at 1,470 calories, so the plain GAL Iced Tea has no separate published panel — the table above shows the five rows Cheddar’s actually prints, and no other row’s numbers should be read as the unsweetened tea’s.
What to Pair With the Gallon Iced Tea
The Chicken Tender Bundle is the pairing this gallon was practically designed for. The bundle feeds the group with tenders for everyone, and a gallon of sweet or peach tea is the drink format that matches it — one order of each and the whole family dinner, drinks included, is handled in a single takeout run.
The Gallon Lemonade is the natural second jug for a bigger spread. Set a gallon of tea and a gallon of lemonade side by side and every guest pours their preference — including the ones who mix the two in the same glass.
A Baby Back Ribs Bundle night is the other classic call for a gallon. Slow-smoked ribs are rich, sticky work, and cold iced tea by the gallon is the traditional counterweight — the sweet gallon at $5.79 keeps the whole table’s drinks to one small line on the receipt.
Who Orders Tea by the Gallon?
More people than you might think — the gallon exists because the single glass has a ceiling. It is the standard add-on for family takeout nights, when the food already feeds four or more and individual drinks would double the drink bill. It shows up at office lunches for the same reason: one jug in the middle of the table replaces a dozen separate cups. It is the cookout, game-day and picnic order — anywhere the meal moves away from the restaurant and the refills have to travel with it. And because Cheddar’s sells it to go only, the gallon is honest about its job: it is not a dine-in drink at all, it is the restaurant’s tea, packaged for wherever your table happens to be.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
The headline numbers belong to the whole gallon, not a glass: 1,470 to 1,890 calories and 369 to 468 grams of sugars are totals for the full container, divided among everyone pouring from it. On allergens, Cheddar’s official allergen guide prints no beverage rows at all — drinks simply are not listed in it — so there is no official allergen panel to quote for this tea, and the absence of a listing should not be read as a guarantee that the drink is allergen-free. Cheddar’s warns that its kitchens use shared preparation areas, so cross-contact can occur, and it cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens. If an allergy is a concern, ask your restaurant before ordering.
