Dunkin is literally better, unless things have changed, their policy was to always have a < 15 minute pot of coffee ready. Any longer and it starts to spoil. Freshly grinded beans and a freshly brewed is probably the single most important part of coffee, inexpensive beans can taste good.
Food at Dunkin is shot tho imo. They always pull it before it’s actually hot at least at the one near me. Pretty much guaranteed I have to throw it in the microwave or toaster oven at home after buying it.
This is true at Starbucks too, the freshness of the brew is not why their coffee is bad. This is the company that sold charcoal as French roast for years before anyone noticed it was is overroasted it tasted like bad fish and ash. (I’ve never had a more difficult roast to find a pairing for - Smore’s is the answer, if anyone cares, to make starbucks french roast not taste awful)

Dunkin uses a blend of arabica and robusta beans so it is milder. Starbucks is 100% arabica and roast them more.

I prefer Dunkin by a long ways.
