The full Dairy Queen menu
Our Dairy Queenguide
Dairy Queen is a soft-serve and fast-food chain that started in Joliet, Illinois, in 1940 and now has more than 7,800 restaurants in 20+ countries. It is best known for BLIZZARD® Treats, DILLY® Bars and ice cream cakes. Locations that serve hot food add burgers, chicken strip baskets and hot dogs, while others sell treats only.
Fourteen Blizzard flavors, one starting price
At the Dairy Queen at 231 Peachtree Street Northeast in Atlanta, GA, all 14 BLIZZARD® Treat flavors on its DoorDash menu start at $7.19 (checked Oct 30, 2026). Larger sizes cost more, and delivery-app prices usually run higher than in the restaurant. Size matters more than flavor for calories: Minis range only from 330 to 480 across the 14 flavors, but the OREO® BLIZZARD® Treat goes from 330 as a Mini to 1,050 as a Large. The two heaviest Minis are the filled Royal flavors, Royal Ultimate Choco Brownie (480) and Royal New York Cheesecake (450).
The $7.20 combo step
Combos at that Atlanta store mostly follow one pattern: six of the 10 cost exactly $7.20 more than the sandwich or hot dog alone, at starting prices. The other four add between $6.00 (Flamethrower® Signature Stackburger™) and $7.80 (Cheese Deluxe Signature Stackburger™). The Classic Hot Dog Combo is the cheapest at $11.99. Kids' Meals cost a flat $8.99 for a Hot Dog, Chicken Strips or Hamburger. Separately, an Oct 26, 2026 DQ release lists an $8 Meal Deal (chicken strips or an Original Cheeseburger, regular fries, a beverage and a sundae) at participating U.S. locations; it requires a DQ Rewards account.
Chicken strips, from basket to 100-piece platter
Chicken Strip Baskets and FlameThrower® Chicken Strip Baskets both start at $13.19 in Atlanta. They share calorie counts too: 1,020 with 4 pieces and 1,300 with 6. Sauced & Tossed Honey BBQ and Sauced & Tossed Parmesan Garlic baskets cost $1.20 more, at $14.39. Party platters come in 25, 50, 75 and 100 pieces, from $46.19 to $184.79. Each size works out to about $1.85 a strip, with no bulk discount. Four 25-piece platters even cost 3 cents less than one 100-piece platter. The six dips on that menu cost $0.83 to $1.19. Country Gravy is the lightest with a published count, at 70 calories; Honey Mustard is the heaviest, at 240.
Six-packs, cakes and cupcakes
Buying DQ's novelty bars by the six-pack lowers the price per bar, most of all for the BUSTER BAR®. One costs $5.99 in Atlanta, while the 6 Pack BUSTER BAR® is $19.19, about $3.20 a bar. Six singles would cost $35.94. A DILLY® Bar is $3.11 alone, and the 6 Pack DILLY® Bar is $15.59, about $2.60 each. Cakes start at $37.19 for the DQ® Signature All Occasion Cake and $40.79 for the OREO® BLIZZARD® Cake, with size or option choices costing more. Signature Sprinkle Cupcakes start at $7.19 on that menu. Separately, DQ's Friendsgiving deal offers two cupcakes for $6 from Nov 2 to Nov 29, 2026, at participating U.S. locations.
MISTY® drinks, lemonades and cheese curds
Two pairs of drinks on the Atlanta menu share a name but not a price. The MISTY® Slush starts at $3.59, while the MISTY® Freeze starts at $7.19, the same as a Blizzard. Their Small sizes carry 200 and 360 calories. Likewise, the DQ® Lemonade Sparkler starts at $4.19 with 180 calories in a Small, and the DQ® Lemonade Cooler at $7.19 with 420. On the sides list, the Side of Fries has the lowest starting price, $3.59, and 280 calories. Side of Cheese Curds starts at $5.99, and the official guide lists Cheese Curds at 500 calories for a Regular and 1,000 for a Large.

How we checked
Most Dairy Queen restaurants are franchised (Berkshire Hathaway's 2025 annual report describes about 7,800 franchised restaurants), so hours, menus and participation in deals are decided locally. NewsNation (Nexstar), updated Nov 26, 2024, wrote that because DQ restaurants are individually owned, hours can vary and can be confirmed online for a given location. DQ's own store pages, which list hours, could not be opened (HTTP 403), so no sample of store hours was taken and no typical opening or closing time is given. DQ's releases describe two kinds of restaurant: 'hot food and treat' locations (the June 2026 release says DQ Grill & Chill restaurants serve both hot food and treats) and 'treat only' locations (wording from a November 2025 release about international openings). No source read names a U.S. 'DQ Treat' format or gives a count of each format. We list no breakfast hours: DQ's April 2026 'Breakfast Collection' was a limited-time set of three dessert-style treats at participating U.S. locations from April 27, not a breakfast food menu, and no breakfast hours were found.

DQ Rewards
Runs through the Dairy Queen Food & Treats app (iOS and Android, from International Dairy Queen, Inc.). The app listing says members earn 10 DQ Points for every $1 spent when ordering in the app, online or at a DQ location, can redeem points for food rewards (participation varies by location), get a birthday surprise and see weekly deals such as Mobile Monday. The listing does not give reward tiers, point costs or expiry. Texas restaurants use a separate DQ Texas app, which also gives 10 points per $1 at participating Texas locations. A DQ release dated Oct 26, 2026 says a DQ Rewards account is required to receive its holiday deals and that deals may take 24 hours to appear.
Official rewards page: dairyqueen.com ↗How to order
- Order online
- Order ahead in the Dairy Queen Food & Treats app (iOS and Android) or online at participating restaurants; Texas restaurants use a separate DQ Texas app
- Delivery
- DQ's website navigation includes a 'DQ Delivers' page, but it could not be opened, so delivery partners and which restaurants deliver are not confirmed; availability varies by location
Catering
No catering program could be verified. DQ's website navigation lists 'DQ Cakes' (ice cream cakes), but that page could not be opened, so ordering, lead times and which restaurants offer cakes are not confirmed.

Dairy Queen menu FAQ
What are Dairy Queen's hours?
They depend on the restaurant. DQ restaurants are individually owned, and NewsNation (Nexstar, updated Nov 26, 2024) wrote that hours can vary and can be confirmed online for a given location. DQ's own store pages could not be opened for this check, so no typical opening or closing time is given here.
Does Dairy Queen have a rewards program or app?
Yes. The Dairy Queen Food & Treats app runs DQ Rewards. Members earn 10 DQ Points for every $1 spent when ordering in the app, online or at a DQ location, can redeem points for food rewards (the listing says participation varies by location), and get a birthday surprise and weekly deals such as Mobile Monday. The listing gives no reward tiers or point costs. Texas restaurants use a separate DQ Texas app with the same 10 points per $1 at participating Texas locations.
Can you order Dairy Queen ahead or get it delivered?
Ordering ahead is available in the DQ app and, at participating restaurants, online, according to DQ's 2026 releases. DQ's website has a 'DQ Delivers' page, but it could not be opened for this check, so delivery partners and which restaurants deliver are unconfirmed. Texas restaurants use the separate DQ Texas app.
What is Dairy Queen's current meal deal?
A DQ release dated Oct 26, 2026 lists an $8 Meal Deal: chicken strips or an Original Cheeseburger, full-size regular fries, a beverage and a sundae. For a limited time the sundae can be swapped for any Blizzard Treat for $2 more. The offer is at participating U.S. locations, needs a DQ Rewards account, and deals may take 24 hours to appear. A $7 version ran June 1 to June 28, 2026 at participating DQ Grill & Chill locations.
Are all Dairy Queen restaurants franchised, and do they all have the same menu?
Nearly all are franchised. Berkshire Hathaway's 2025 annual report describes about 7,800 franchised restaurants operating mainly as DQ Grill and Chill, Dairy Queen, DQ and Orange Julius, and a May 2026 vendor release described DQ as 99 percent franchised. DQ's releases describe 'hot food and treat' restaurants (DQ's June 2026 release says Grill & Chill restaurants serve both) and 'treat only' restaurants, and its deals run at participating locations, so menus and offers differ by restaurant.
Who owns Dairy Queen, how many locations are there, and where is it based?
International Dairy Queen, Inc. (IDQ) is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. DQ's June 30, 2026 release says IDQ develops, licenses and services more than 7,800 DQ restaurants in more than 20 countries, and Berkshire's 2025 annual report says approximately 7,800 franchised restaurants. No U.S.-only count was found. DQ's releases (Nov 2025, June 2026) say IDQ is based in Minneapolis, while DQ's newsroom and a March 2019 relocation release put its headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota (8000 Normandale Blvd.).
When and where did Dairy Queen start?
The first Dairy Queen opened on June 22, 1940 at 501 N. Chicago St. in Joliet, Illinois, run by Sherb Noble, who served soft serve made to a formula from John 'Grandpa' McCullough and his son Alex, according to Tasting Table (Mar 7, 2025) and WNIJ. DQ's newsroom says the company has been in business more than 85 years.
