Browse dinner menus, entrees, and combos with prices from popular restaurants. Compare dinner menu prices across popular US chains, all in one place.
Dinner is the widest meal on most chain menus. It pulls in nearly everything the kitchen makes, then leans harder on plates meant to fill you up. So when you compare restaurant dinner menu prices across chains, you're rarely comparing one dish. You're comparing whole categories stacked next to each other.
A typical dinner lineup runs across:
Not every chain carries all of this. A burger spot won't sell pasta. But the directory here lets you line these categories up side by side, which is the point.
Plenty of chains run one menu all day. Others split lunch and dinner, and the split matters. At the chains that separate them, dinner usually means larger portions and full plated entrees rather than the smaller, faster lunch specials. A lunch portion of a pasta or a chicken plate is often a step down in size from the dinner version of the same dish, and the price tracks that difference.
Dinner also tends to add items you won't see at midday: bigger steaks, family platters, and shareable appetizers meant for a table rather than a solo lunch break. If a chain offers a cheaper lunch cut of something you like, that's worth knowing before you order the dinner size out of habit. Check the chain's own menu page, since these cutoffs and portion rules change by location.
Most dinner menus give you two ways to buy. A combo bundles an entree with sides and a drink at one price, while a la carte lets you pick each piece on its own. Combos usually cost less than buying the same pieces separately, and they're faster to order. A la carte wins when you don't want the drink, want a different side, or are feeding a group where one shared order of fries beats three combos. Neither is always cheaper. It depends on what you'd actually eat.
This is where dinner value gets interesting. Family meals and bundles are built to feed several people for less per head than ordering individual entrees. A bucket of chicken with a couple of large sides and a stack of biscuits, a bundle of pizzas with a shared side, or a taco kit for the table all follow the same logic: buy in volume, pay less per person.
The structure is usually predictable. A bundle names how many it feeds, sets the protein amount, and includes a fixed number of sides. Here's the general shape of what group options look like across chains, without any invented figures:
| Option | Roughly feeds | Typically includes | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single combo | 1 person | One entree, one side, a drink | Solo dinner |
| Meal for two | 2 people | Two entrees plus shared sides | Couples, small orders |
| Family meal | 4 to 6 people | Large protein portion, multiple large sides, bread or dessert | Weeknight dinner at home |
| Party or catering pack | 10 or more | Bulk trays, multiple sides, serving setup | Groups and events |
To judge these, do the price-per-person math. Take the bundle price, divide by how many it honestly feeds (be realistic, not the optimistic number on the box), and compare that to a single combo. Bundles usually win once you're past two people, and the gap grows with group size.
Dinner portions are built to be split more often than lunch portions. A large pizza, a bucket, or a platter of tenders is easy to share, and sharing is frequently the cheapest way to eat well. Two people splitting one family side and two entrees can land under the cost of two full combos. And leftovers count as value too, since a big pasta or a half-eaten bucket becomes tomorrow's lunch.
Dinner items skew larger, so calorie counts skew higher, especially on fried plates, loaded sides, and desserts. But most chains carry lighter paths at dinner if you look. Grilled proteins instead of fried, a bowl or salad base, a broth soup, or swapping fries for a vegetable side all cut the number meaningfully.
A few habits help at dinner specifically:
Vegetarian and vegan options have gotten easier to find at dinner. Bean and veggie bowls, meatless patties, cheese or veggie pizzas, and salad plates cover a lot of ground. Plant-based protein swaps appear on more chain menus every year, though availability shifts by location and by season, so confirm on the store's own page. Lower-calorie dinner picks tend to cluster around grilled entrees, brothy soups, and bowls where you control the toppings.
How you order changes the price and the effort. Ordering in the app often surfaces bundle deals and rewards you won't see at the counter. Delivery adds fees and tips on top, so a bundle's per-person value shrinks once those land. Catering is the real step up for a crowd: bigger trays, more lead time, and setup, but a lower price per person than assembling a dozen combos. For anything past a handful of people, it's worth pricing the catering menu against stacking individual orders.
Use the listing above to compare dinner menus across chains without opening ten tabs. Line up the categories you care about, whether that's buckets, pizzas, or plated entrees, and look at how each chain structures its combos and family bundles. Then run the per-person math on the bundles that fit your group. For exact prices and calorie numbers, go straight to each chain's app or menu page, since those are the only figures that stay current for your location.
