BEDFORD, Texas – Dairy Queen restaurants throughout the Lone Star State are rolling out a special celebration for National Cheeseburger Day on September 18. Starting September 14 and running through September 18, any guest who makes a purchase of $1 or more at a participating Texas Dairy Queen can receive a free Hungr‑Buster® with cheese, provided the order is placed through the DQ mobile app.
What’s on the free burger?
The Hungr‑Buster is a Texas‑sized classic: a quarter‑pound beef patty topped with melted cheese, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, purple onion, tangy pickles and bold yellow mustard. The combination of fresh ingredients delivers the hearty flavor that Texans have enjoyed for decades.
Why a five‑day celebration?
Because “everything is bigger in Texas,” Dairy Queen is extending the National Cheeseburger Day festivities across five days, giving fans ample time to claim their complimentary burger. “Dairy Queen restaurants in Texas have been serving the iconic Hungr‑Buster for the last 50 years,” said Lou Romanus, CEO of the Texas Dairy Queen Operators’ Council. “This National Cheeseburger Day, we’re celebrating this longtime menu staple by treating our DQ fans to a Hungr‑Buster with cheese on the house.”
Additional treats
While the free burger is the headline draw, customers can also indulge in the seasonal Blizzard Treats from the Fall Blizzard Collection. Options include the newly introduced Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Blizzard and the fan‑favorite Pumpkin Pie Blizzard, both perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth after the savory burger.
