What Is the Bojangles Pimento Cheese Biscuit?
It’s a warm, fluffy buttermilk biscuit generously filled with a rich pimento cheese spread cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and diced pimentos blended into something creamy, tangy, and mildly peppery. It sits on the Individual Biscuits section of the menu and stands out as one of the only meatless biscuit options Bojangles offers.
Unlike the chain’s meat-heavy biscuits, this one leans entirely on cheese flavor and biscuit quality. The biscuit itself is baked fresh in-store throughout the day, not a frozen, reheated product, which is a big part of why regulars keep coming back to it specifically.
Pimento cheese has been a Southern pantry staple for over a century sometimes called “the caviar of the South” traditionally made from cheddar, mayonnaise, and diced pimentos (a sweet red pepper). Bojangles blends multiple cheese types into its version, giving it more depth than a simple homemade spread.
Price and Availability
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Pimento Cheese Biscuit | ~$4.99 |
| Add Pimento Cheese to Any Item | ~$0.69 |
Prices vary by location, city, and franchise ownership treat these as ballpark figures and check your local Bojangles menu or app for the exact price near you.
Is it always available? It’s appeared on the menu both as a limited-time item and a standing regional offering since it was introduced in 2019. Bojangles operates primarily across the Southeastern U.S., so availability outside that footprint is limited. If you don’t see it listed, ask the counter staff some locations still offer it as an add-on even when it’s not a standalone menu item that day.
Ingredients
Buttermilk biscuit base (consistent with Bojangles’ other scratch-made biscuits):
- Wheat flour
- Buttermilk
- Butter or shortening
- Baking powder
- Salt
Pimento cheese spread (based on the item’s general description and allergen pattern):
- Cheddar cheese
- Diced pimentos
- Mayonnaise
- Seasoning blend
Since this item sits outside the official nutrition PDF, there’s no published ingredient list to cite directly. For a precise, current breakdown, ask in-store Bojangles locations can typically provide ingredient/allergen sheets for any item on request, including ones not in the national guide.
Flavor & Texture
- Creamy and cheesy a thick, smooth spread with a cheddar backbone.
- Mildly tangy the pimentos add gentle sharpness without overpowering the cheese.
- Peppery kick a subtle warmth from the seasoning blend, not heat.
- Buttery biscuit flaky exterior, soft interior, made in-store rather than shipped frozen.
Compared to Bojangles’ meat-forward biscuits (Cajun Filet, Country Ham), this one is entirely cheese-and-biscuit driven lighter and less greasy than a sandwich-style option, while still rich.
How It’s Served
Served hot, biscuit baked fresh and cheese added warm so the spread softens slightly. It comes as a standalone item no included sides. Common pairings:
- Seasoned fries or Bo-Tato Rounds®
- Sweet tea, orange juice, or black coffee
- Dirty rice or Cajun pintos
Customization
| Upgrade | Details |
|---|---|
| Add pimento cheese to any item | Works on sandwiches, other biscuits, or select sides |
| Cajun Filet + pimento cheese | Popular combo some regulars order for comparison |
Sauce pairings worth trying: Housemade Ranch complements the creamy filling; BBQ sauce adds smoky contrast to the tang; honey mustard sweetens it up.
Nutrition
Because the Pimento Cheese Biscuit isn’t listed in Bojangles’ official nutrition PDF, there’s no company-verified figure to report anything you see for this specific item, on this page or elsewhere, is a third-party estimate. For context, here’s how it likely compares based on Bojangles’ listed figures for similar biscuits:
| Biscuit (officially listed) | Calories | Sodium |
|---|---|---|
| Plain Biscuit | 310 | 780mg |
| Egg & Cheese Biscuit | 430 | 1,150mg |
| Cheddar Bo® Biscuit | 490 | 970mg |
| Pimento Cheese Biscuit (unofficial estimate) | ~410–430 | ~1,150–1,200mg |
Given it’s a cheese-filled biscuit with no egg or meat, a calorie and sodium range in line with the Egg & Cheese Biscuit is a reasonable estimate but treat it as an estimate, not a fact, until you can confirm with staff or a location-specific nutrition sheet.
Allergens
Bojangles’ official guide notes that all products may contain or contact milk, eggs, wheat, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame, and that the company cannot guarantee any item is completely free of allergens. For the Pimento Cheese Biscuit specifically, the most likely allergens based on its composition are:
- Dairy (cheese, butter, buttermilk)
- Wheat/gluten (biscuit base)
- Egg and soy possible, depending on the spread formulation
Not gluten-free the biscuit base uses wheat flour, and cross-contact is likely in a shared kitchen regardless.
If you have celiac disease, a serious food allergy, or any condition where an allergen exposure would be dangerous: do not rely on this page, or any third-party menu site, to decide whether this item is safe for you. Call your specific Bojangles location directly before you order and ask them to confirm ingredients and allergen handling for the Pimento Cheese Biscuit by name. Because this item isn’t in the company’s national nutrition disclosure, a phone call to your actual restaurant is the only reliable way to get an answer not this guide, and not a search result.
Why It Stands Out
- Rooted in real Southern food tradition, not a marketing invention pimento cheese has genuine culinary heritage in the region.
- Made fresh in-store daily, which affects texture noticeably compared to a pre-made biscuit.
- One of the few vegetarian options on a menu that’s otherwise meat-heavy.
- Flying under the radar, literally it’s one of the only Bojangles biscuits that doesn’t appear in the company’s own nationwide nutrition disclosure, which tells you it’s more of a regional specialty than a flagship item. If you can get it, it’s worth trying precisely because it’s not standardized the way the rest of the menu is.
What We Actually Verified vs. What’s Estimated
To be fully transparent about where this guide’s information comes from:
- Verified directly against Bojangles’ official sources: the item’s general description, its absence from the current national nutrition PDF, comparable biscuit calorie/sodium figures, and the general allergen disclosure language.
- Not independently verified: exact price at any specific location, exact calorie/sodium count for this specific item, and exact current ingredient formulation.
We haven’t yet called or visited individual Bojangles locations to collect real, location-specific pricing that’s the next step that would turn the price range above from “reported online” into “confirmed.” [If you’ve ordered this recently, we’d genuinely welcome hearing your location and price paid reader-submitted data points get added here with the location and date, clearly marked as reader-reported rather than staff-verified.]
Bojangles Pimento Cheese Biscuit Ordering Tips
- Confirm it’s available before making a trip check the app or call ahead, since it’s not part of the standardized national menu.
- Order earlier in the morning when biscuits are freshest off the batch texture is noticeably better warm.
- Compare it as an add-on try a Cajun Filet Biscuit with pimento cheese added if you want to taste it alongside a meat option.
- Ask staff for exact price and ingredient info on the spot since it’s not nationally listed, your local restaurant is the most accurate source.
