Three-City Price Check
The price comparison is intentionally moved out of the hero so the top of the page can highlight offers and popular items instead. The fixed research stores are 2530 Bethel Rd, Columbus, OH; 5636 W Irving Pk Rd, Chicago, IL; and 225 Osborne Rd NE, Fridley, MN. These are DQ Grill & Chill locations with food-and-treat menus. Online delivery pricing can differ from counter or pickup pricing.

Burgers, Sandwiches & Hot Dogs
The food side of the current Grill & Chill menu centers on Signature Stackburgers, chicken strip sandwiches, hot dogs and a fish sandwich at participating restaurants. Prices show why the three-city check matters: the same burger can differ by several dollars across current online menus.

Kids’ Meals
The official kids menu currently includes Hamburger, Hot Dog and 2-Piece Chicken Strips meals. Kids meals can include a side, drink and treat choices depending on the restaurant. Where an exact anchor-store feed hid the full modifier price, the table uses the nearest current public market observation instead of inventing a number.

Drinks, Shakes, Malts & MooLattés
The beverage menu is broader than fountain drinks. It includes Coolers, Sparklers, Misty Slushes, Misty Freezes, shakes, malts and MooLattés. The upcoming Toasted Marshmallow Mocha Coffee Cooler launches August 31 and is therefore not treated as a current item yet.

Orange Julius & Fruit Smoothies
Orange Julius remains part of the official current product catalog at participating locations. The current official lineup includes Orange Julius Original, Tripleberry Premium Fruit Smoothie, Strawberry Banana Julius Original, Strawberry Banana Premium Fruit Smoothie, Mango Pineapple Premium Fruit Smoothie. Availability is more location-dependent than the core Blizzard or Stackburger menu, so this section does not force a national price onto items that were not exposed across all three selected stores.
Cakes & Blizzard Cakes
Cake prices depend on size, design and customization, so one number cannot represent every configuration. This pillar keeps the current base observations below; for full 8-inch price comparisons, sizes, servings, flavors, ordering guidance, calories and allergens, see our dedicated Dairy Queen Cake Prices guide.

Current Deals & Rewards
BOGO $0.99 Blizzard — through August 30
DQ Rewards members can buy one Blizzard Treat and get a second equal-or-lesser-value Blizzard for $0.99. The official offer can be redeemed once per day from August 3–30 at participating U.S. locations; Royal Blizzard Treats are excluded from the offer.
DQ Rewards currently earns 10 points per $1. The official rewards page also advertises a Shake welcome offer, birthday surprise, points redemptions and free delivery every Monday for eligible members, up to $5.50 during the stated April 27–November 1, 2026 promotional period.
Why Texas Menus Can Look Different
Texas is intentionally excluded from the main national three-city comparison. Dairy Queen restaurants in Texas can operate with a materially different regional food lineup, including Texas-specific burger, taco and steak-finger concepts. Mixing those items into a Columbus/Chicago/Minnesota comparison would make the national menu table less consistent. A future Texas-focused guide would be a better place to cover that regional variation.
Calories & Nutrition Notes
For treats, the official nutrition table is current as of March 30, 2026 and is the primary calorie source used here. Individual current food product pages are preferred for burgers, sandwiches and kids items because DQ’s broader food nutrition table still carries an older update date.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a Blizzard in 2026?
Standard Blizzard base prices observed in the three selected markets run about $4.79–$5.78. Royal Blizzard Treats are priced higher; the Royal New York Cheesecake was $5.87–$6.54.
Is the $7 Meal Deal still available?
Yes. The current official menu page says the $7 Meal Deal is available all day, every day at participating U.S. locations.
What is the current Blizzard of the Month?
For August 2026 it is the Caramel Apple Cheesecake Blizzard, made with cheesecake pieces and caramel apple topping.
What is the August BOGO Blizzard deal?
Rewards members can buy one Blizzard and get a second equal-or-lesser-value Blizzard for $0.99 through August 30, 2026. The offer is available once per day at participating U.S. locations and excludes Royal Blizzard Treats.
What new fall treats are coming?
On August 31, 2026, the Fall Treat Collection is scheduled to add Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Blizzard, Toasted Marshmallow Mocha Coffee Cooler and returning Pumpkin Pie Blizzard for a limited time.
Do menu prices vary by restaurant?
Yes. DQ restaurants are franchised and online prices can vary substantially by restaurant and ordering channel. This guide therefore reports observed ranges rather than a single nationwide price.
Why isn’t Texas used in the three-city price set?
Texas DQ restaurants can carry a distinct regional food menu, so using a Texas store in the same national comparison could mix different menu concepts and reduce comparability.
Our Methodology
This update was researched on 24 Aug 2026. Official menu names, current product status, calories, rewards and LTO timing were checked against Dairy Queen’s official menu, official product/nutrition pages and the company’s current 2026 promotion pages.
Price anchors: 2530 Bethel Rd, Columbus, OH 43220; 5636 W Irving Pk Rd, Chicago, IL 60634; and 225 Osborne Rd NE, Fridley, MN 55432. Current public ordering menus were used for visible online prices. Where an exact anchor-store menu hid a modifier price, the article either reports the visible current-market observation or leaves the item out of a strict three-city comparison rather than guessing.
Delivery-platform prices can be higher than pickup or in-store prices. Accordingly, these figures are current online-menu observations, not a claim that every U.S. DQ restaurant charges the same amount.
