Dairy Queen Meal Deals

Is the Dairy Queen Meal Deal $7 or $8?

DQ’s site still has a $7 Meal Deal page for participating U.S. locations. Its November campaign and the current chicken strip upgrade menu advertise an $8 Meal Deal. Use the price shown after selecting your restaurant. If you want the Blizzard upgrade, open the meal’s dessert options and check the total before submitting your order.

What comes with the Chicken Strip Meal Deal?

The advertised 3-Piece Chicken Strip Meal Deal includes regular fries, your choice of dipping sauce, a 21-oz. drink, and a sundae. For a quick comparison with a Chicken Strip Basket, check the piece count and sides in both listings before choosing. 

What’s on the 2 for $5 Mix & Match menu?

DQ’s official Mix & Match pages list the Original Cheeseburger, two chicken strips, regular fries, pretzel sticks with zesty queso, any size soft drink, and a small sundae as options. Look for the 2 for $5 section on your selected store’s menu. For lunch, try a cheeseburger and fries. For a snack, try pretzel sticks and a small sundae. Two picks cost $2.50 each on average when the $5 offer is available. 

Do Dairy Queen lunch specials end at a set time?

DQ describes its $7 Meal Deal as an all-day offer at participating locations. For the November $8 promotion and any franchise-specific lunch special, check the local listing or call the store. 

How to Find Dairy Queen Specials Near You

1. Open the DQ app or start an order on DQ.com and choose Pickup or Delivery.
2. Select the exact restaurant, then sign into DQ Rewards and open Deals for eligible offers.
3. Read the offer terms. Check the size, minimum order, expiration date, and whether it can be used at the register, online, or for delivery.
4. Confirm the discount or upgrade in your order summary before paying. If the location lacks online ordering, call and ask about local specials.

Local stores can also advertise offers on their own sites. For example, Dairy Queen of East Texas lists a $1.89 drink special at its Whitehouse location from 7–10 a.m. and 2–5 p.m. Check the location for eligible drinks and current availability.
