Breakfast at DQ is smaller than the all-day menu, but it covers more ground than most people expect — biscuit sandwiches, pancake platters, hash browns loaded enough to be their own meal, and a short drinks list. It also disappears fast. Once the clock hits 10:30 on a weekday, the whole thing is gone until tomorrow.
A quick heads-up before the tables: prices vary by location, franchise ownership, and which app or delivery platform you’re ordering from. Delivery apps in particular tend to run higher than what you’d pay walking up to the counter. Treat every number below as a solid starting point, not a guarantee — for the absolute latest, check the official Dairy Queen site.

Worth noting: the Country Breakfast Platter and the Breakfast Bowl both carry sodium north of 1,600mg — over half a typical daily limit in one meal. If that matters to you, the biscuit sandwiches or a plain side order stay well under it.
Sides & À La Carte
Everything here can be added to a platter or ordered on its own. Ham is the lightest option on the whole breakfast menu at just 60 calories, while three pieces of bacon jump to 390.

Cheese Add-Ons
Cheese isn’t automatically on any breakfast sandwich — it’s an add-on, and the choice barely moves the calorie count either way.
| Cheese | Calories | Fat | Protein | Allergens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| American | 50 | 4g | 2g | M, S |
| Pepper Jack | 50 | 4.5g | 3g | M, S |
| Shredded | 60 | 4.5g | 3g | M |
| Swiss | 60 | 4.5g | 4g | M |
Drinks
Coffee is about as cheap and low-calorie as breakfast gets here. Black coffee runs just 5 calories in either size — add cream and sugar and that climbs to an estimated 50–120.
| Drink | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Black Coffee (12 oz) | 5 | — |
| Coffee (16 oz) | 5 | — |
| Coffee w/ Cream & Sugar | 50–120 | Estimated range |
| Milk (12 oz) | 220 | 21g sugar, allergen: M |
| Milk (16 oz) | 280 | 27g sugar, allergen: M |
| Orange Juice Bottle | 190 | 40g sugar |

Dairy Queen Breakfast Hours
Breakfast has a firm start and stop time, and it’s shorter on Sunday mornings than you might expect.
Hours can shift by location and franchise owner. If you’re planning around breakfast, check your specific store’s listed hours or call ahead — the official store locator is the most reliable source for a location’s actual cutoff time.
Customization Options
- Bread type: biscuit or toast — changes the texture, not much else.
- Meat choice: sausage, bacon, or ham — swings both taste and calorie count noticeably.
- Add-ons: extra egg or cheese, for more protein and a heavier sandwich.
- Sauce: gravy, salsa, or none.
- Side swap: hash browns or no side, which is the easiest lever if you’re watching calories.
How to Order & Common Mistakes
Order the platter, not the sandwich, if you’re actually hungry — a biscuit sandwich alone won’t hold most people until lunch, but any of the platters will. Skip the pancake platter with bacon if sodium is a concern; at 1,970mg, it’s the saltiest single item on the breakfast menu.
The most common mistake is showing up after 10:30 on a weekday expecting breakfast items. DQ switches over to the lunch menu right at cutoff, no grace period. The second most common one: assuming Sunday breakfast starts at the same time as Saturday’s. It doesn’t — Sunday opens an hour later, at 7:00 AM.
If you’re ordering through a delivery app, expect the total to run higher than what’s listed here. That markup is standard across delivery platforms, not specific to DQ.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time does Dairy Queen stop serving breakfast?
Weekdays, breakfast ends at 10:30 AM. Saturday it runs until 11:00 AM, and Sunday breakfast starts an hour later at 7:00 AM and also ends at 11:00 AM. Exact cutoff times can still shift by location, so call ahead if you’re cutting it close.
Is the Dairy Queen breakfast menu the same at every location?
Not always. DQ is a franchise system, so breakfast availability and specific items can vary by store, and a small number of locations don’t serve breakfast at all. Check with your local DQ before planning a visit around one specific item.
What’s the cheapest item on the Dairy Queen breakfast menu?
The Ham (2 pc) side is the lowest-calorie option at 60 calories, and the biscuit sandwiches are the cheapest full item at $2.49 each. Black coffee, at 5 calories for a 12 or 16 oz cup, is about as low-cost and low-calorie as it gets.
Does Dairy Queen publish calorie counts for breakfast items?
Yes, for most items. Two exceptions are the Ultimate Hash Browns Platter and the French Toast Platter, which are only published as calorie ranges rather than exact figures, and neither has a full fat, sodium, or protein breakdown available.
Can you customize a Dairy Queen breakfast sandwich?
Within limits. You can typically swap the bread between biscuit and toast, choose your meat, add an extra egg or cheese, and pick a sauce like gravy or salsa where offered. Availability of each swap depends on the store.
Does Dairy Queen serve coffee at breakfast?
Yes. Black coffee comes in 12 and 16 oz sizes at 5 calories each, and adding cream and sugar pushes the calorie count up to roughly 50–120 depending on how much you add.
Is Dairy Queen breakfast available on weekends?
Yes, breakfast runs both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday matches the weekday closing time at 11:00 AM, while Sunday breakfast starts later, at 7:00 AM, and also closes at 11:00 AM.
Are delivery-app prices the same as in-store for Dairy Queen breakfast?
Usually not. Delivery platforms commonly mark up restaurant menu prices above what you’d pay ordering in person or through the DQ app, so treat the prices above as a starting point, not a guarantee for third-party delivery.
