KFC Mac & Cheese Bowl Prices (2026)
The KFC Mac & Cheese Bowl price sat on our Famous Bowl page as a table row, but readers keep asking for it on its own — so here it is, verified properly. We checked two live DoorDash storefronts, Louisville KY and Dallas TX, on Oct 20, 2026. Prices are DoorDash delivery prices — in-store unverified, typically 10–30% less. The bowl appeared at both stores, and the two agreed with each other far more closely than they did on the Famous Bowl.
KFC Mac & Cheese Bowl prices
| Item | Verified delivery price |
|---|---|
| Mac & Cheese Bowl | $7.55–$7.92 |
| Mac & Cheese Bowl Combo | $8.28–$8.41 |
Last checked: Oct 20, 2026
The bowl itself runs $7.55–$7.92 — a 37-cent spread between the two stores. The combo, which adds a side and a drink, runs $8.28–$8.41, a spread of just 13 cents. Compare that to the Famous Bowl, which swung $1.22 between the same two stores on the same day. There is no deep reason for it; franchise owners price item by item, and on this one they happen to land close together. What matters for your wallet: in Louisville the Mac & Cheese Bowl matched the Famous Bowl’s Dallas price exactly ($7.55), so which bowl is cheaper genuinely depends on your store.
Mac & Cheese Bowl vs Famous Bowl
The Famous Bowl is mashed potatoes, sweet corn, crispy chicken, gravy and cheese at $6.33–$7.55. The Mac & Cheese Bowl swaps the potato base for macaroni and cheese, keeps the crispy chicken on top, and runs $7.55–$7.92. So the mac version costs roughly a dollar more at the cheap end and about 40 cents more at the top end. Both have full breakdowns on our KFC Famous Bowl price page, and both sit well under the tenders combos on the KFC menu prices hub if you are feeding yourself on a budget.
Is the combo worth it?
The combo adds a side and a drink for somewhere between 49 and 73 cents over the bowl alone at the stores we checked — $8.28–$8.41 against $7.55–$7.92. Standalone drinks start at $3.65 on delivery (see our KFC drinks menu), so if you were going to order a drink anyway, the combo is the cheapest way to get one. If you were not, the bowl alone is the honest buy. That is the whole analysis — the math is small but it is real, and it repeats across the bowl line. Watching the total across a full order?
