Cheeseburger vs. Chicken Strips — Which Entree to Choose?
- Original Cheeseburger — Classic, lighter (400 cal). The better choice if you want a satisfying but not overly heavy meal. Also lets you add a dessert without feeling overfull.
- 3-Piece Chicken Strip Basket — More protein, slightly more calories. Better if you are hungry and want the heartier option. Note that the basket version in the meal deal is 3 pieces, not the full 4-piece basket sold separately.
Is the $7 Meal Deal Available All Day?
Yes. Unlike some fast-food value deals that are limited to lunch hours, the DQ $7 Meal Deal is available all day at participating locations. It applies to dine-in, takeout, and drive-through orders.
