Dairy Queen Menu Prices at a Glance
Dairy Queen has two sides. The treats side serves soft serve, which has been DQ's specialty since 1940. The food side, called DQ Grill and Chill, adds burgers, chicken baskets and hot dogs. Some older walk-up stores sell treats only, so check your local store's format before you drive out for a FlameThrower GrillBurger.
Prices below are national in-store averages taken from the DQ app across several states. Most DQ stores are independently owned, so franchisees set their own prices and the range is wider than at many other chains. Always confirm your local price in the app.
Blizzard Menu, Flavors and Prices
The Blizzard debuted in 1985 and sold over 100 million cups in its first year. It is soft serve blended with mix-ins until it is thick enough to hold upside down. The crew flips every cup before serving, and if they forget, your Blizzard is free. That has been standing policy since launch, not a promotion.
| Blizzard Flavor | Mini to Large | Calories (Small) |
|---|---|---|
| Oreo Cookie | $3.49 to $5.99 | 420 |
| M and M | $3.49 to $5.99 | 490 |
| Butterfinger | $3.49 to $5.99 | 470 |
| Heath Bar | $3.49 to $5.99 | 480 |
| Snickers | $3.49 to $6.49 | 500 |
| Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough | $3.49 to $6.49 | 590 |
| Reeses Peanut Butter Cup | $3.49 to $6.49 | 600 |
| Brownie Batter | $3.99 to $6.49 | 530 |
| Choco Brownie Extreme | $3.99 to $6.49 | 510 |

Blizzard Sizes
| Size | Volume | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| Mini | 6 oz | $3.49 to $3.99 |
| Small | 12 oz | $4.49 to $4.99 |
| Medium | 16 oz | $5.29 to $5.99 |
| Large | 21 oz | $5.99 to $6.49 |
Royal Blizzards have a filled center of fudge, cheesecake or peanut butter and cost about 50 cents more than the standard version. Seasonal flavors rotate monthly as the Blizzard of the Month. Summer 2026 brought Dipped Strawberry Cheesecake, S'mores, Confetti Cake, Cotton Candy and a pineapple flavor with chilli lime salt.
Cones and Soft Serve Prices
DQ soft serve has about 5 percent butterfat. US labeling rules require 10 percent for ice cream, so DQ calls it soft serve. The lower fat makes it melt slower and hold a swirl better in a cone.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Kids Cone | $1.79 | 170 |
| Small Cone | $2.49 | 230 |
| Medium Cone | $2.99 | 340 |
| Small Dipped Cone | $2.99 | 340 |
| Large Cone | $3.49 | 470 |
| Medium Dipped Cone | $3.59 | 470 |
| Large Dipped Cone | $4.19 | 630 |
Dipped cones come in chocolate, cherry and butterscotch. The chocolate shell adds roughly 110 calories to a plain cone of the same size.
Sundaes and Royal Treats
Royal Treats are layered desserts served in a bowl. The Peanut Buster Parfait, on the menu since 1971, layers soft serve with fudge and salted peanuts and is still a regular favorite.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Small Sundae | $3.29 | 280 |
| Medium Sundae | $3.99 | 390 |
| Large Sundae | $4.59 | 500 |
| Peanut Buster Parfait | $5.49 | 710 |
| Banana Split | $5.79 | 510 |
| Brownie and Oreo Cupfection | $5.99 | 720 |
| Triple Chocolate Brownie | $5.99 | 680 |
Shakes, Malts and MooLatte Prices
A shake is soft serve blended with milk and flavoring. A malt adds malt powder for about 30 cents more. MooLatte is DQ's coffee drink, blended with soft serve, so it tastes closer to a milkshake than an iced latte.
| Drink | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Small Shake | $4.29 | 480 |
| Small MooLatte | $4.49 | 420 |
| Small Malt | $4.59 | 520 |
| Frozen Hot Chocolate | $4.99 | 560 |
| Medium Shake | $5.19 | 650 |
| Medium MooLatte | $5.29 | 580 |
| Medium Malt | $5.49 | 710 |
| Large Shake | $5.99 | 810 |
| Large Malt | $6.29 | 880 |
Novelties and Packaged Treats
These freezer-case treats are sold singly or by the box. The Dilly Bar has been around since 1955, three decades before the Blizzard.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Star Kiss | $1.99 | 80 |
| Dilly Bar | $2.19 | 240 |

| Buster Bar 4 Pack | $10.99 | 470 each |
DQ Ice Cream Cake Prices
DQ ice cream cakes layer soft serve over a chocolate cookie and fudge crunch center. Most stores keep decorated cakes in the freezer, but custom lettering and photo cakes need 24 to 48 hours notice.
| Cake | Serves | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Cupcakes, 6 pack | 6 people | $17.99 |
| Mini Round Cake | 2 to 4 people | $19.99 |

| Sheet Cake, 10 by 14 inch | 20 to 24 people | $42.99 |
Burgers and Sandwiches Menu
The food menu is only available at DQ Grill and Chill locations. GrillBurgers are the headline items, and the FlameThrower is made with a jalapeno and pepper sauce that is genuinely spicy.

| Half Pound FlameThrower GrillBurger | $7.49 | 900 |
Chicken Baskets and Sandwiches
Chicken Strip Baskets come with fries, Texas toast and a cup of country gravy. The portion is generous for the price, and the gravy is a big part of the appeal.

| Grilled Chicken Sandwich | $5.99 | 400 |

| Chili Cheese Dog | $3.99 | 330 |

- Buy novelties by the box: A 6 pack of Dilly Bars works out to about $1.50 each versus $2.19 singly.
Nutrition and Allergen Notes
Calories come from DQ's published nutrition data. Blizzard figures above are for a small, and a large roughly doubles them. Soft serve contains milk and cones contain wheat. Nut mix-ins are blended on the same spindles as other flavors, so cross contact is likely in any Blizzard, even one without nuts. To see how a treat fits your day, use our calorie calculator.

Dairy Queen Menu FAQ
What sizes do Blizzards come in and how much are they?
Mini (6 oz), small (12 oz), medium (16 oz) and large (21 oz). A Mini is $3.49 to $3.99, a small $4.49 to $4.99, a medium $5.29 to $5.99 and a large $5.99 to $6.49, depending on flavor. Royal Blizzards cost about 50 cents more.
Is the upside down Blizzard guarantee real?
Yes. Crews flip the cup before handing it over, and if they forget, the Blizzard is free. This has been the rule since the Blizzard launched in 1985.
Does Dairy Queen serve breakfast?
Not on a national menu. Most stores open at 10:00 or 11:00 AM. A group of DQ stores in Texas under a separate franchise agreement serve breakfast items such as biscuits and breakfast burritos, but this is regional only.
Why is DQ soft serve not called ice cream?
US labeling rules require at least 10 percent butterfat for ice cream. DQ soft serve has around 5 percent, so it is legally soft serve. The lower fat helps it melt slower and hold its shape in a cone.
How much is a DQ ice cream cake?
An 8 inch round cake is about $32.99 and serves 8 to 10. A 10 inch cake is $39.99, a 10 by 14 sheet cake is $42.99 and a Blizzard cake is $34.99. Custom lettering or photo toppers need 24 to 48 hours notice.
What is the difference between a Blizzard and a shake?
A Blizzard is soft serve blended with mix-ins until thick enough to eat with a spoon. A shake is soft serve blended with milk until it can be sipped through a straw. A malt is a shake with malt powder added.
What is the $7 Meal Deal at DQ?
It is a sandwich, fries, a drink and a sundae for $7. The sandwich choices rotate and usually include the cheeseburger and the chicken strip sandwich. It is the best value on the menu because it includes dessert.
Are all Dairy Queen locations open all year?
No. Treat-only stores in northern states commonly close from around November until March. DQ Grill and Chill locations stay open year round. Check the app before driving out in winter.
What is the cheapest thing on the Dairy Queen menu?
The Kids Cone at $1.79 and the Star Kiss frozen bar at $1.99. For hot food, the Classic Hot Dog at $2.99 is the cheapest, and the $7 Meal Deal is the lowest priced full meal.
What is the Blizzard of the Month?
A limited flavor that changes roughly every month and is announced in the DQ app. Recent examples include Dipped Strawberry Cheesecake, S'mores, Confetti Cake and Cotton Candy. Prices fall within the standard Blizzard range.
