Dairy Queen Blizzard menu: every flavor and price
The Blizzard is the most famous thing on the Dairy Queen menu: thick vanilla soft serve blended with candy, cookies or fruit, served upside down to prove it won’t fall out. There are 17 Dairy Queen Blizzard flavors on the US menu right now, including 4 limited-time picks. Every flavor comes in the same four sizes and costs the same, except the Royal Blizzards, which have a filled center and cost a little more.
| Size | Regular Blizzard | Royal Blizzard |
|---|---|---|
| Mini | $3.79 | $4.59 |
| Small | $4.89 | $5.69 |
| Medium | $5.79 | $6.59 |
| Large | $6.59 | $7.39 |
New to Blizzards? Start with the OREO Cookie Blizzard, the original from 1985 and still the best seller. Chocolate lovers should try the Choco Brownie Extreme Blizzard, and the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard is the go-to salty-sweet pick. Every flavor is below, grouped the way DQ groups them on the menu board, starting with this season’s limited-time picks.

DQ ice cream cake prices
A Dairy Queen ice cream cake is about the easiest party dessert you can buy. There are two kinds on the Dairy Queen menu: the classic DQ cake, with vanilla and chocolate soft serve around a layer of fudge and chocolate cookie crunch, and Blizzard Cakes, which put a favorite Blizzard flavor in the middle. Both come in an 8-inch round, a 10-inch round and a sheet cake, and most stores can write a message on top for free.

Dairy Queen ice cream menu: cones, sundaes and novelties
Before there was a Blizzard, there was the cone with the curl on top. The classic side of the Dairy Queen ice cream menu has 15 treats: vanilla cones in four sizes, cones dipped in chocolate or cherry coating, sundaes with your choice of topping, the bigger Royal Treats, and novelties like the Dilly Bar and Buster Bar. This is also where you’ll find the cheapest things on the whole Dairy Queen menu, starting under $2.

Dairy Queen shakes and drinks menu
The drinks side of the Dairy Queen menu goes well beyond soda. Shakes and malts are made with the same soft serve as the cones, Coffee Coolers blend in cold brew, Misty Slush and DQ Sparklers are the light and fizzy options, and many stores also blend Orange Julius drinks and fruit smoothies. Shakes come in small, medium and large, and any flavor can be made as a malt.

Dairy Queen burger menu
DQ isn’t only dessert. The food half of the Dairy Queen menu, served at Grill & Chill restaurants, is built around Signature Stackburgers, which come as doubles or triples on a toasted bun, plus chicken and fish sandwiches and hot dogs. The FlameThrower adds pepper jack, jalapeño bacon and a spicy sauce, while the Original Cheeseburger is the classic and the only Stackburger you can also get as a single.

Sides and snacks on the DQ menu
Every DQ meal needs a side, and the sides are some of the lowest Dairy Queen prices you’ll pay, starting around $2.49 for small fries. Fries come in three sizes, onion rings and cheese curds in two, and the pretzel sticks come with warm zesty queso for dipping. Cheese curds are the side people rave about, especially in the Midwest. For a lighter meal there’s a crispy chicken strips salad.

Tip: A filling lower-carb meal if you go easy on the dressing.

| Basket of Fries | $14.99 |
| Basket of Cheese Curds | $24.99 |
| Basket of Onion Rings | $17.99 |
Dairy Queen deals: $7 Meal Deal and 2 for $5 menu
These are the only Dairy Queen prices set nationally, which makes them the cheapest way to eat from the Dairy Queen menu. The $7 Meal Deal is a full meal with dessert, and the 2 for $5 Mix & Match lets you pair two smaller items. Both are available every day at participating stores.
3-Piece Chicken Strip Meal Deal
$7
Three all-white-meat chicken strips with your choice of dipping sauce, plus fries, a 21 oz. drink and a small sundae, all for $7.
Tip: Ask about upgrading the sundae to a Blizzard for about $2.
Cheeseburger Meal Deal
$7
The original cheeseburger (seasoned beef, American cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard) with fries, a 21 oz. drink and a small sundae for $7.
Tip: Full-size items, not kids’ portions, which makes this the best meal value at DQ.
Bought separately, an original cheeseburger, regular fries, a medium drink and a small sundae would cost about $14.56, so the $7 Meal Deal saves you roughly half. Many stores let you upgrade the sundae to a Blizzard for about $2 more.
2 for $5 Mix & Match menu
Pick any two of these for $5. Two cheeseburgers is the most food for the money, and a chili dog with a small sundae makes a cheap lunch with dessert.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Cheeseburger | 2 for $5 |
| Small Sundae | 2 for $5 |
| Pretzel Sticks with Zesty Queso | 2 for $5 |
| 2-Piece Chicken Strips | 2 for $5 |
| Hot Dog | 2 for $5 |
| Regular Fries | 2 for $5 |
| Chili Dog | 2 for $5 |
| Any Size Soft Drink | 2 for $5 |
| Small DQ Sparkler | 2 for $5 |
Dairy Queen kids’ menu
The kids’ section of the Dairy Queen menu is simple, and every DQ kids’ meal comes with dessert, which might be why kids love it so much. You pick an entrée, a side and a drink, and a kids’ cone is included, all for about $5.49 at most stores.

Two all-white-meat chicken strips sized for kids.

How Dairy Queen menu prices work
Nearly every one of the roughly 4,100 US Dairy Queens is owned by a local franchisee, and each owner sets prices for their area. That’s why Dairy Queen prices vary: the same Blizzard can cost a dollar more at an airport or a tourist town than in a small town. The $7 Meal Deal and the 2 for $5 menu are the exceptions, with the same price everywhere they’re offered.
The Dairy Queen menu also isn’t the same at every store. DQ Grill & Chill restaurants carry everything on this page, while DQ Treat stores, common in malls, only sell the treats, cakes and drinks. To see the exact Dairy Queen menu with prices for your own store, open the DQ app or dairyqueen.com and choose your location.
Dairy Queen menu FAQ
What is the cheapest item on the Dairy Queen menu?
A kids’ vanilla cone at about $1.89, followed by a small fountain drink at about $1.99 and a Dilly Bar at about $2.19. For a full meal, nothing beats the $7 Meal Deal.
What is new on the Dairy Queen menu right now?
The limited-time Blizzard lineup for October 2026: Enchanted OREO Blizzard, Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Blizzard, Caramel Apple Cheesecake Blizzard and Pumpkin Pie Blizzard. Seasonal flavors usually stay for about two months.
What is a Royal Blizzard?
A Blizzard with a filled center, like the Royal New York Cheesecake with its strawberry core. Royal Blizzards cost about 80 cents more than regular flavors in every size.
What is the difference between a shake and a malt at DQ?
A malt is a shake with malted milk powder blended in, which gives it a toasty, nutty taste. Most stores charge little or nothing extra.
Does Dairy Queen have a secret menu?
Not officially, but because every treat is made to order, most stores will mix two Blizzard mix-ins, dip a Blizzard cup or turn a Barq’s into a root beer float for a small charge.
Is this the official Dairy Queen menu?
No. DQ Menus is an independent guide to the Dairy Queen menu. To order or use DQ Rewards, go to dairyqueen.com or the DQ app.
