Where spice matters, we list the Not Hot and Lite Mild count from the official guide revised March 16, 2026. Mild through Reaper adds 30 to 390 calories, the most on the Hot Box - Dave's Bites (3,450 to 3,840). The Dave's Hot Mozz Hot Box is the largest single count at 9,510. Lemon Pepper and Mini Sliders items aren't in that guide under their menu names, so they're missing here.

490 cal lightest: Single Cauli Slider
9,510 cal heaviest: Dave's Hot Mozz Hot Box
