One restaurant per chain on a real street map: the cheapest Taco Bell, Burger King, Chick-fil-A, Domino's, Popeyes, McDonald's, Wendy's, Chipotle, and Papa John's we priced, picked the same way for all of them, from each chain’s own ordering system. Then the same list, filtered to where you are.
As of 26 September 2026 · 50,346 restaurants with a usable index · 9 chains. Prices are pickup, not delivery, and they change.
Each figure is how far that restaurant sits below its own chain’s national median, across the mapped menu, not a comparison of a taco to a burger. A restaurant needs at least eight priced items before it qualifies, so a single cheap sandwich cannot win the slot.
Uses your location, in this browser only, and looks within 40 miles. Permission is optional: a ZIP code or a city name works from the restaurants we have already priced.
Your location is not sent anywhere. If nothing sits inside 40 miles we widen to 75 and say so.
One logo pin per chain on the street map below, at the restaurant with the lowest index. Tap a pin for the last day we priced it. When a second restaurant is within one percentage point of the cheapest, it is pinned too — a single pin would imply a gap that is not there.

The marquee item is that chain’s most-searched mapped product — a Big Mac, a Whopper, a Crunchwrap — quoted at the cheapest restaurant so the index has a dollar figure next to it. It is not the thing we ranked on. Half the price gap on these menus sits between restaurants inside the same state, which is why this is a map of restaurants rather than of states.
It does not say which chain is cheapest to eat at. The chains sell different food. A restaurant that is cheap for McDonald’s can still charge more for a meal than a typical Taco Bell. The index is honest about that: it never pretends a taco and a burger are one number.
It also does not use the single cheapest line on a menu. Without the eight-item floor, the cheapest restaurant in America would be whichever one put a sauce packet on the board at a nickel. The item ranking is the page for what you can actually order; this one is the page for where the whole menu runs cheap.
