About MenuHeat

Who we are, what we cover and how we keep menu information honest.

What MenuHeat is

MenuHeat is an independent guide to the menus of 93 of the biggest restaurant chains in the United States, from fast food and coffee to pizza, diners, casual dining and steakhouses. For each chain we publish one page with the menu, typical or estimated prices, official calories where the chain publishes them, allergen pointers, hours and ordering options, plus a dated list of the sources we used.

We built it because menu boards change constantly, prices differ from one store to the next, and the information you need before you order is usually spread across an app, a nutrition PDF and a store locator. We put it in one place and tell you how fresh it is.

How we work

Calories and allergens come from each chain's own published nutrition information whenever we can reach it. For our most-searched chains, prices come from official ordering menus, company announcements, recent news reports and reputable price trackers. For the rest, we show estimated typical U.S. prices, labeled as estimates, and mark any price we confirmed on an official menu. Every menu page explains where its prices came from and when we checked them. We use AI tools to help research and draft; every page is reviewed and fact-checked by a person before publishing.
