How we track menu prices

Restaurant pricing in the United States is not centralised. Almost every large chain lets individual franchise owners set their own prices, which is why the same combo can cost two dollars more one town over. We collect prices from official chain menus, in-store menu boards and delivery platforms, then publish the figure that appears most often across markets.

Every page on Menu Price Book shows when it was last reviewed. We re-check high-traffic menus monthly and the rest of the catalogue quarterly. If you spot a price that no longer matches your local restaurant, tell us and we will verify it.

Use the figures here to plan and compare — a full family meal at one chain versus another, or whether the lunch menu is genuinely cheaper than dinner. For the exact amount you will be charged today, always confirm with your local restaurant.
