Braum's Menu Prices 2026: Burgers, Ice Cream & Fresh Market

A Single Hamburger is about $3.99 and a Single Cheeseburger about $4.49 as of May 2026 — among the best values for a fresh-beef burger in the region. A Double Cheeseburger is ~$6.49, the Bacon Double Cheeseburger ~$7.49, and the loaded Cowboy Burger ~$7.49. A Single Cheeseburger Combo with fries and a drink runs ~$7.49. Because Braum's is vertically integrated and largely operates in a low-cost region, its prices stay genuinely '$' — and you can add hand-dipped ice cream for a couple of dollars.

Because Braum's owns its own dairy farm and processing plant — one of the very few restaurant chains in America that does. The milk and cream for the ice cream come from Braum's own herd, and the ice cream is made in-house rather than bought from a supplier. That vertical integration means a single scoop cone is about $2.49, a milkshake about $3.99, and a take-home half-gallon carton about $4.49 — prices well below what you'd pay for comparable hand-dipped ice cream elsewhere. The hand-dipped ice cream is the item Braum's is most famous for.

Every Braum's location includes a Fresh Market grocery section alongside the restaurant — essentially a small grocery store. You can buy milk (~$3.99/gallon), eggs (~$2.99/dozen), fresh-baked bread (~$2.49), cheese, produce, and cartons of Braum's ice cream. Because Braum's produces its own dairy, the milk and ice cream are typically priced below grocery-store national brands. This grocery-plus-restaurant combination is what makes Braum's unique among fast-food chains — you can grab a burger and a gallon of milk in one stop.

Braum's deliberately keeps all of its ~300 locations within about a 300-mile radius of its dairy farm in Tuttle, Oklahoma — so the milk and ice cream stay fresh from farm to store. As a result, Braum's only operates in five states: Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. If you live outside that South-Central region, there won't be a Braum's near you, and the chain has stated it has no plans to expand beyond the distance its own dairy can reach fresh. This self-imposed limit is a core part of its quality philosophy.

For food, the Single Cheeseburger ($4.49) with fresh beef is the everyday favorite, and the Bacon Double Cheeseburger ($7.49) is the loaded pick. But the real reason to go is the hand-dipped ice cream — a Single Scoop Cone ($2.49) or a Milkshake ($3.99) made from Braum's own dairy. Many regulars get a combo plus an ice cream treat for under $10. Don't leave without grabbing a half-gallon carton (~$4.49) from the Fresh Market freezer to take home.

Yes — Braum's serves breakfast during morning hours, including biscuits with sausage or bacon and egg (~$3.49) and breakfast burritos (~$3.99). Because Braum's makes its own dairy products and bakes its own bread, the breakfast items lean on fresh ingredients. Breakfast is available until a set morning cutoff (typically late morning); after that the menu switches to the full burger-and-ice-cream lineup. Hours vary by location.

Braum's was founded in 1968 by Bill Braum, whose family had been in the dairy and ice cream business in Kansas before that. The company is still family-owned and operates from its dairy farm in Tuttle, Oklahoma — reportedly one of the largest family-owned dairy operations in the country. It has never franchised; every location is company-owned, which lets Braum's control quality from the farm through the counter. As of 2026 there are around 300 locations across five South-Central states.

Braum's is burger- and dairy-forward, but vegetarian options exist. Meatless items include French Fries ($2.49), Onion Rings ($3.29), Cheese Fries ($3.49), the Side Salad ($2.99), and the entire ice cream, shake and frozen-yogurt lineup. The Fresh Market grocery section also stocks milk, eggs, cheese, bread and produce for vegetarian shoppers. There's no plant-based burger patty on the standard menu as of 2026.
