DQ Kids Meals — Complete 2026 Guide
Dairy Queen Kids Meals are designed for younger guests and include everything needed for a complete meal — an entrée, a side, a drink, and a Vanilla Soft Serve Cone for dessert — all for $4.99. For the full DQ menu including adult options, visit The Dairy Queen Menu.
Kids Meal Options — Everything Included
| Kids Meal | Price | Entree | Side Options | Drink | Dessert |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kids Cheeseburger Meal | $4.99 | Cheeseburger | Fries or Applesauce | Milk or Soft Drink | Vanilla Cone |

Kids Meal Side Choices — Fries vs. Applesauce
- Regular Fries — The classic choice. Crispy golden fries, approximately 260 calories for the kids-size portion.
- Applesauce — A lighter, no-sugar-added option at approximately 50 calories. A good choice if you want to balance the meal's nutritional profile.
Kids Meal Drink Options
- 1% Low-Fat Milk — 110 calories. The healthier choice, good source of calcium and protein.
- Soft Drink (Coca-Cola products) — Available in kid-appropriate sizes. Coke, Sprite, Dr Pepper, and more depending on location.
What Makes DQ Kids Meals Stand Out
Every DQ Kids Meal includes a Vanilla Soft Serve Cone as a standard dessert — this is not an add-on or extra. At $4.99 total for an entrée, side, drink, and a soft serve cone, the DQ Kids Meal is genuinely excellent value compared to similar fast-food kids menus.
The Vanilla Soft Serve Cone included in every Kids Meal is the same $2.39 cone sold separately — the Kids Meal gets it bundled into the $4.99 total price.
