What to know about the DQ food menu
Grill & Chill vs. treat-only stores
Only Dairy Queen Grill & Chill restaurants (and older “Brazier” stores) cook food. Many mall stores and “DQ Treat” locations sell ice cream and drinks only, so check the store type before you plan a meal there.
Stackburgers: single, double or triple
The classic Hamburger and Original Cheeseburger come as a single, double or triple. The bigger Signature Stackburgers start at a double. A single Hamburger is about $3.99 and 320 calories, while a Double Original Cheeseburger is about $5.99 and 570 calories. Add regular fries ($2.89, 280 calories) and a Double Cheeseburger meal comes to about $8.88 before tax.
Chicken strip baskets
The Chicken Strip Basket is DQ's best-known meal. The 4-piece basket is about $9.49 and 1,020 calories with 35 g of protein. It comes with fries, Texas toast and gravy, so it's a full meal on its own. If you just want the chicken, 3 strips on their own are about $5.99 and 430 calories.
Sides worth knowing
Cheese curds are a DQ favorite in the Midwest: a regular is about $4.29 (500 calories) and a large about $6.49 (1,000 calories). Fry-Rings mix fries and onion rings in one order. Chips are the cheapest add-on at about $1.79.
Regional favorites
Some items are sold only in certain areas. The Steakfinger Basket, for example, is a Texas favorite, and the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich is mostly found in the Midwest. If an item on this page isn't at your store, it's usually because it's regional.

Why prices differ
