DoorDash Finds Only 4 U.S. Cities Offer Cheeseburger Meals Under $15

Summary
DoorDash’s latest local commerce report found just four cities where a cheeseburger, fries and soda average under $15: Austin, Laredo, Lincoln and Detroit.
Austin ranked cheapest at $12.94, while Anchorage was highest at $28.28—more than double—highlighting sharp regional gaps in the cost of eating out.
The burger combo’s average price rose 3.2% over the past year, with DoorDash tying the increase more to labor, rent and energy than to food costs alone.
Southern and Southeastern cities generally benefited from lower operating costs, while the 10 best-value markets were concentrated in Texas and the Midwest.
