Oreo Top-Loaded Shake
Dave's Oreo Top-Loaded Shake — a hand-spun shake blended with Oreo cookie pieces and piled high with crushed Oreos, whipped cream, and a cookie garnish. Cookies-and-cream indulgence on top of real ice cream, with the dairy fat that cools Nashville heat.
About the Oreo Top-Loaded Shake
The Oreo Top-Loaded Shake takes a hand-spun shake and turns it into a full dessert experience — Oreo cookie pieces blended into the ice cream base, then top-loaded with a generous pile of crushed Oreos, whipped cream, and a cookie garnish. You choose the base flavor: chocolate for a deep cookies-and-cream, vanilla for a classic cookies-and-cream, or strawberry for a fruity twist.
At $6.99 it's $1.50 more than the core shakes, and that premium buys the loaded toppings on top. Despite the candy-and-cookie pile-on, it stays at 750 calories — comparable to the base shakes — because the real ice cream still does the heavy lifting. And like every dairy shake at Dave's, it pulls double duty as a spice cooler: the dairy fat binds to capsaicin and washes the burn off your taste buds far better than water or soda. It's the most popular top-loaded shake for a reason — cookies-and-cream is hard to beat.
What's Inside the Oreo Top-Loaded Shake
Hand-Spun Ice Cream Base
Your choice of vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream blended with milk into a thick base — the dairy fat here is what neutralizes capsaicin.
Blended Oreo Pieces
Crushed Oreo cookies are spun directly into the shake, giving every sip the signature cookies-and-cream flavor and gentle cookie crunch throughout.
Crushed Oreo Topping
A generous pile of crushed Oreos top-loaded onto the shake adds the showpiece crunch and the loaded-shake presentation that justifies the upgrade.
Whipped Cream & Cookie Garnish
Finished with a swirl of whipped cream and a whole or half Oreo on top for a true dessert-style, Instagram-ready presentation.

How to Customize
Choose Your Size
Order the standard size, or ask whether a smaller or larger pour is available at your location. The shake is hand-spun and top-loaded to order.
Choose Your Base Flavor
Pick chocolate for the deepest cookies-and-cream, vanilla for the classic version, or strawberry for a fruity berry-and-cookie twist on the base.
Extra Oreo Toppings
Ask for an extra-heavy load of crushed Oreos on top, or extra cookie pieces blended in, for a more intense cookies-and-cream experience.
Extra Whipped Cream
Request an extra swirl of whipped cream for a taller, more indulgent dessert-tier finish on top of the loaded cookies.

Loaded ComboFrequently Asked Questions
How much does the Oreo Top-Loaded Shake cost?
The Oreo Top-Loaded Shake costs $6.99 at most Dave's Hot Chicken locations — $1.50 more than the classic vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry shakes ($5.49). The premium covers the blended cookie pieces and the loaded toppings on top. Prices may vary by location and are higher on delivery apps.
How many calories are in the Oreo Top-Loaded Shake?
About 750 calories per serving — comparable to the base shakes despite the loaded toppings, because the real ice cream provides most of the calories. Expect roughly 31g of fat and 88g of sugar per shake. The exact count varies slightly with your chosen base flavor.
Can I choose the base flavor for the Oreo Top-Loaded Shake?
Yes — you choose chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry as the ice cream base. Chocolate gives the deepest cookies-and-cream flavor, vanilla is the classic version, and strawberry adds a fruity twist. The Oreo blend-ins and toppings are added on top of whichever base you pick.
Does the Oreo Top-Loaded Shake contain dairy?
Yes — it's made with real ice cream, milk, whipped cream, and Oreo cookies, so it contains dairy and is not vegan. It is vegetarian-friendly. Anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance should avoid it. Always confirm cross-contact risks with staff if you have a severe allergy.
Does it still cool down spicy food even with all the toppings?
Yes — the dairy fat in the ice cream base is what neutralizes capsaicin, and that's unchanged by the toppings. Capsaicin is fat-soluble, so the shake binds to it and clears the burn from your taste buds far better than water or soda. The Oreo Top-Loaded Shake cools a Hot or Extra Hot order just as effectively as the classic shakes.
