The complete Dairy Queen menu with typical US prices and calories — every Blizzard flavor, the classic treats, the Signature Stackburgers, the Chicken Strip Baskets, sides, cakes, drinks and the select-store breakfast board, checked November 2026.
Dairy Queen does not publish one national price list. Every restaurant is independently franchised and sets its own prices, so this guide shows the October 2026 store-menu, app and delivery capture as a range for each item, not one fake price. Small-town stores sit at the low end, city and mall stores at the high end, and delivery apps usually charge a little more than pickup. Calories come from Dairy Queen’s own nutrition tables, current as of September 3, 2026, and win wherever a tracker disagrees. Three companion guides go deeper: the Dairy Queen secret menu guide collects the custom Blizzards, the Dairy Queen nutrition guide breaks down every item, and the Dairy Queen coupons guide tracks the deals.
Blizzard Treats
Blizzards come in four sizes: Mini (6 oz), Small (12 oz), Medium (16 oz) and Large (21 oz). The mix-ins are the same in every size — you just get more of them. Royal Blizzards have a filled center and cost about $1 more per size. Prices below are the Medium; the full size ladder is Mini $3.49–$3.99, Small $4.49–$4.99, Medium $5.29–$5.99, Large $5.99–$6.99.

Classic Treats
Blizzards get the fame, but the classic treats are the old soul of DQ — the cone is still the cheapest way to taste the soft serve, and the Peanut Buster Parfait has fed fans since 1971.
| Classic Treat | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Soft Serve Cone (small) | $1.99–$2.49 | 160–230 |
| Dipped Cone (medium) | $2.99–$3.69 | ~320 |

| DQ Sandwich | $1.79–$2.49 | 190–200 |
Burgers & Stackburgers
Hot food is served at full Grill & Chill stores only — treats-only stores do not carry it. Stackburgers come as a single, double (1/3 lb) or triple (1/2 lb); the ranges below cover single to triple, and a double typically adds about $1.30–$2.00 over the single.
| Burger / Sandwich | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Hamburger | $2.49–$4.49 | 350 |

| Hot Dog | Varies | 330 |

Chicken Strip Baskets
The basket is the most loved food item at DQ: strips with golden fries, Texas toast and a cup of white country gravy for dipping. Fans will tell you the gravy is the whole point.
| Chicken Strip Basket | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Piece Chicken Strip Basket | $8.99–$9.99 | 1,020 |
| 6-Piece Chicken Strip Basket | $10.99–$13.49 | 1,300 |

| 6-Piece Sauced & Tossed (Parmesan Garlic) | Varies | 1,630 |
| Crispy Chicken Strips Salad | Varies | 400 |
Sides, Kids & Breakfast
Breakfast is served at some Grill & Chill stores only, mostly in the South and Midwest, usually until about 10:30 AM. If your store has no breakfast, it is not broken — it just does not offer it.
| Side / Kids / Breakfast | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Fries (regular) | $2.19–$3.79 | 280 |
| Fries (large) | $2.69–$4.59 | 450–460 |
| Onion Rings (regular) | $2.49–$4.59 | 360 |
| Onion Rings (large) | $2.69–$5.19 | 540 |
| Cheese Curds (regular) | $3.29–$6.95 | 500 |
| Cheese Curds (large) | $5.99–$7.69 | 1,000 |
| Pretzel Sticks with Zesty Queso | Varies | Varies |
| Side Salad | $2.19–$3.99 | Varies |
| Kids 2-Piece Chicken Strips Meal | $4.99 | 280 |
| Kids Hamburger | Varies | 350 |
| Biscuit & Gravy (breakfast stores) | $3.49–$3.99 | Varies |
| Breakfast Burrito (breakfast stores) | $3.49–$4.29 | Varies |
Cakes
Most stores keep round cakes in a freezer case, ready to take home. A cake with your own words on top takes about 48 hours at most stores.
| Cake | Price |
|---|---|
| 8-Inch Round Cake | From $22.99 |
| 10-Inch Round Cake | $29.99–$34.99 |
| Sheet Cake | $40.99–$45.99 |
| Blizzard Cake | $28.99–$35.99 |
| CupCakes (single) | ~$2.99 |
| CupCakes (6-pack) | ~$14.99 |
Drinks, Shakes & Coffee
A shake is thick, like a Blizzard, but you drink it with a straw. A MooLatte is a frozen coffee drink. A Misty Slush is ice and fruit flavor, with no dairy at all — and 0g fat at every size.
| Drink | Price |
|---|---|
| DQ Shake | $4.49–$4.99 |
| MooLatte Frozen Coffee | $3.99–$4.99 |
| Orange Julius Original | $3.69–$4.49 |
| Premium Fruit Smoothie | $3.99–$4.99 |
| Misty Slush | $1.99–$2.99 |
| Soft Drink | $1.99–$2.49 |
| DQ Coffee Cooler | Varies |
Value: The $7 Meal Deal
The $7 Meal Deal is the best value on the board: your choice of an Original Cheeseburger or a 3-piece Chicken Strip Basket, plus regular fries, a 21 oz drink and a small sundae, all for $7.00. You can swap the sundae for a Mini Blizzard for about $2 more. One honest wrinkle: DQ’s October 26, 2026 announcement describes an $8 Meal Deal with a $2 Blizzard dessert upgrade, so some stores now ring the deal at $8 — the full story, including which version your store runs, is in the Dairy Queen coupons guide. The old 2 for $5 deal is gone at most stores; do not drive across town for it. A normal burger, fries and drink runs about $9 to $12, and adding a Small Blizzard takes one person to about $13 to $16.
Allergen Information
Dairy Queen’s own allergen tables mark every item for milk, egg, soy, wheat, peanut and tree nut. Nearly everything on the treats board carries milk and soy; most Blizzards also carry wheat, and the peanut-butter builds carry peanut. The Parmesan Garlic baskets are the sodium outlier of the whole menu at up to 4,290mg. If you have an allergy, check the official allergen table before ordering — franchise preparation varies, and shared equipment is the norm.
Hours
Hours vary by location and by format. Treats-only stores typically run late morning to late evening, while many Grill & Chill stores open early — one Harrodsburg, Kentucky location lists 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily — and others close around 10:00 or 10:30 PM. Check the DQ app or your store’s page before a late run; seasonal stores in colder states close for winter entirely.
Reviews
Dairy Queen is a franchise story in reviews: the chain’s own food earns the praise, and individual stores earn the complaints. Sampled Google and Yelp listings run from 4.8 out of 5 (Rockland, 13 reviews) and 4.3 (Laredo, Texas, 330 reviews) down to 2.6 (Sealy, Texas, 33 reviews) and 1.7 (Llano, Texas, 34 reviews) — the spread says more about the store than the brand. The Blizzards are the constant: “Reese’s blizzard always” reads one Harrodsburg, Kentucky listing, and a Sealy reviewer wrote, “Always happy to stop for a cheeseburger & Blizzard. Ice cream cakes for special occasions are always great!!” (Yelp, May 15, 2025). The other side is just as consistent: “The food here is okay but the ice cream is better” (Yelp, Tyler, Texas). Order the treats with confidence; judge the hot food store by store.

Dairy Queen is two menus in one building: a dessert board led by the Blizzard, where a Medium runs $5.29–$5.99 and the Oreo Mini is just 330 calories, and a Grill & Chill board where the $7 Meal Deal and the Chicken Strip Basket do the heavy lifting.
