Taste & Texture Profile: What to Expect

Heat level: A lively kick from habanero in the Spicy Pepper Sauce—zippy but approachable for most spice enthusiasts.

Crunch factor: A craggy, well-seasoned breading delivers that satisfying bite with every mouthful.

Balance: Pickles cut through richness; the potato roll adds a slight sweetness and softness to hold everything together harmoniously.

Smart Ordering & Lighter Options

Calorie awareness: Keeping to the sandwich alone maintains you at 530 calories; adding fries and a sweet beverage will escalate totals rapidly.

Go easy on sodium: At 1320mg, this sandwich exceeds half the daily sodium recommendation for many individuals. Skip salty sides or balance with water or unsweetened tea.

Customize heat: Request light sauce, sauce on the side, or extra pickles if you prefer more tang than heat.

Gluten note: Even without the bun, the fillet breading contains wheat—it’s not gluten-free friendly.
