Wendy’s Menu With Prices 2026
Reviewed by Alex Rivera, Lead Menu Researcher | Prices last verified: July 21, 2026
Wendy’s menu prices cover burgers, chicken sandwiches, breakfast, and a lot more. This guide lists every category with current 2026 pricing and calories. I have eaten my way through most of this menu over the past few months while researching it. These notes come from real orders, not a spec sheet pulled off a corporate site. I update this guide myself, item by item. You will find the new Biggie Deals lineup below, a full breakfast breakdown, and a printable version near the bottom of the page. Prices below are estimates and vary by state, city, and franchise location. Always confirm current pricing at your nearest location or on the official app before ordering.
New and Limited Time at Wendy’s for 2026
Wendy’s shook up its value menu on January 14, 2026. The old 4 for $4 deal is gone. The original Biggie Bag is gone too. In their place sits a new Biggie Deals lineup with three price points. You can choose $4 Biggie Bites, $6 Biggie Bag, or $8 Biggie Bundle. Wendy’s calls this an expansion of choice, and on paper it is. You now pick your own sandwich and sides instead of getting one fixed combo.
Regular customers online have not been thrilled about the change. Many complaints center on the $4 tier. It comes with junior sized fries instead of the small fries the old Biggie Bag included. Sandwich options also feel more limited overall. I get the frustration. The 4 for $4 was a genuine bargain for four years. Losing it stings, even if the new tiers technically offer more customization on paper.
There is also a limited time Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich on the menu right now. It is built for anyone who wants their crispy chicken with a spicy, tangy crunch. I tried it the week it launched and the coating has real heat, not just a spicy label for show. Limited time items rotate fast at Wendy’s, so check the app if you want to try it before it disappears.

| $6 Biggie Bag | $6.00 | Varies by pick |
Hamburgers and Cheeseburgers
Wendy’s burgers are the reason most people show up in the first place. The square patty is still the calling card. It looks odd on a round bun, sure. But it means every bite has beef in the corners instead of empty bun space. Dave’s Single, Double, and Triple form the flagship line. They are named after founder Dave Thomas. Wendy’s uses fresh beef rather than frozen beef across the contiguous United States. That claim actually holds up when you compare the texture to competitors using frozen patties. I notice the difference most in the Jr. line, where a cheaper patty usually means a mushier bite, and Wendy’s Jr. burgers still hold together.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Jr. Hamburger | $2.19 to $2.29 | 250 |
| Jr. Cheeseburger | $2.29 to $2.49 | 290 |
| Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger | $2.89 to $2.99 | 370 |
| Double Stack | $2.79 to $2.99 | 410 |
| Bacon Double Stack | $3.39 to $3.79 | 450 |
| Dave’s Single | $5.99 to $6.49 | 590 |
| Dave’s Double | $6.99 to $7.69 | 860 |
| Dave’s Triple | $8.39 to $8.89 | 1160 |
| Baconator | $8.29 to $8.59 | 960 |
| Son of Baconator | $6.99 to $7.19 | 630 |
| Big Bacon Classic | $6.99 to $7.19 | 650 |
| Big Bacon Classic Double | $7.99 to $8.39 | 920 |
| Big Bacon Classic Triple | $9.19 to $9.59 | 1220 |
Combo Meal Pricing
Every burger on this list can become a combo. A combo adds medium fries and a medium drink to your order. Expect to add $3.50 to $4 on top of the standalone price. A Dave’s Single combo lands around $10. A Baconator combo runs closer to $12. Upgrading to a large side costs about a dollar more. It is usually worth it if you are hungry enough to order a Baconator in the first place.
Chicken Sandwiches and Nuggets
Wendy’s chicken lineup covers grilled, crispy, and spicy, plus a rotating cast of specialty sandwiches. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich has a real following, and it earns it. The breading has genuine heat, not just a warning label on the wrapper. If you tend to favor a different chicken sandwich style, it is worth comparing this lineup against the Chick-fil-A menu. The two chains take noticeably different approaches to breading and sauce.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Crispy Chicken Sandwich | $2.29 to $2.49 | 340 |
| Classic Chicken Sandwich | $5.29 to $5.49 | 490 |
| Spicy Chicken Sandwich | $5.29 to $5.49 | 500 |
| Grilled Chicken Sandwich | $5.29 to $5.49 | 350 |
| Asiago Ranch Chicken Club | $6.29 to $6.49 | 630 |
| Spicy Jalapeño Popper Sandwich | $6.49 to $6.69 | 600 |
| Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich | $6.49 to $6.99 | Varies |
| 4 Pc. Chicken Nuggets | $1.99 to $2.69 | 180 |
| 6 Pc. Chicken Nuggets | $2.69 to $3.29 | 270 |
| 10 Pc. Chicken Nuggets | $4.99 to $5.19 | 450 |
Nuggets come in crispy or spicy, and both share the same pricing. If you want variety, ask for a mix at the counter. Most locations will split a 10 piece order between the two flavors without an extra charge. A few franchises do charge a small fee for mixed orders, so ask before you assume.
Fresh Made Salads
Wendy’s salads skew heartier than most fast food versions. That is either a selling point or a warning, depending on your goals. The Taco Salad is the most popular by a wide margin. It works for vegetarian diets if you skip the seasoned beef. Most sources also consider it halal friendly, since the base ingredients avoid pork and alcohol based additives. Always confirm with your local Wendy’s if strict dietary compliance matters to you, since kitchen practices can vary by franchise owner.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Taco Salad | $6.99 to $8.49 | 690 |
| Apple Pecan Salad | $7.19 to $8.49 | 550 |
| Parmesan Caesar Salad | $6.99 to $8.49 | 440 |
| Southwest Avocado Salad | $7.19 to $8.49 | 570 |
Wendy’s Breakfast Menu
Breakfast runs from roughly 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM at most locations. Hours can shift by market, so check your specific Wendy’s if you are cutting it close. The breakfast menu splits into croissants, biscuits, burritos, and a handful of classics.
Croissants
The Maple Bacon Chicken Croissant is worth the trip on its own. It is sweet and savory in one sandwich. The croissant holds up better than most fast food versions, which tend to turn soggy within five minutes of leaving the window.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Sausage, Egg and Swiss Croissant | $3.59 to $3.99 | 600 |
| Bacon, Egg and Swiss Croissant | $3.59 to $3.99 | 410 |
| Maple Bacon Chicken Croissant | $3.99 to $4.29 | 560 |
Biscuits
The Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit is a sleeper favorite. It rarely shows up in ads, but regulars order it constantly. I would put it up against any biscuit sandwich in the breakfast segment right now.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit | $2.99 to $3.39 | 610 |
| Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit | $2.99 to $3.39 | 420 |
| Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit | $3.19 to $3.99 | 500 |
| Sausage Biscuit | $1.39 to $1.79 | 470 |
Breakfast Burritos
The burrito is the cheapest real breakfast item on the menu. It travels well if you are eating in the car on the way to work.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Sausage, Egg and Cheese Burrito | $1.39 to $1.99 | 340 |
Classics and Sides
The Breakfast Baconator is exactly what it sounds like, and it is not for anyone counting calories before noon. It is also, by a wide margin, the item I get the most questions about from readers who assume it must be a joke item. It is not.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Breakfast Baconator | $3.99 to $4.29 | 730 |
| Homestyle French Toast Sticks (4 pc) | $2.79 to $3.29 | Varies |
| Seasoned Potatoes | $1.99 to $2.49 | Varies |
Fries and Sides
The Baconator Fries deserve their reputation. Cheese sauce, bacon bits, and a shredded cheese blend sit on top of hot fries. It is genuinely one of the better loaded fries options in fast food right now. I would put it ahead of most casual dining versions that cost twice as much for a similar plate.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| French Fries (Small) | $2.39 to $2.69 | 260 |
| French Fries (Medium) | $2.89 to $3.19 | 350 |
| French Fries (Large) | $3.09 to $3.49 | 470 |
| Baconator Fries | $2.99 to $3.99 | 460 |
| Chili Cheese Fries | $2.99 to $3.89 | 520 |
| Chili (Small) | $3.19 to $3.49 | Varies |
| Chili (Large) | $3.89 to $4.19 | Varies |
| Family Size Chili | $9.99 | Varies |
| Baked Potato (Plain) | $2.64 to $4.38 | 270 |
| Baked Potato (Sour Cream and Chive) | $3.09 to $4.69 | 310 |
| Baked Potato (Bacon Cheese) | $3.69 to $4.69 | 440 |
Frosty
The Classic Chocolate Frosty has barely changed since Wendy’s opened its first store. That consistency is the whole appeal. It is thicker than a milkshake and holds its shape with a spoon. That small detail still surprises first time visitors who expect it to behave like regular soft serve.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Classic Chocolate Frosty (Small) | $2.29 to $2.49 | 350 |
| Classic Chocolate Frosty (Medium) | $2.79 to $2.99 | 470 |
| Classic Chocolate Frosty (Large) | $3.29 to $3.39 | 590 |
| Triple Berry Frosty (Small) | $2.29 to $2.49 | Varies |
| Frosty Shake (Small) | $2.59 | Varies |
Beverages
Wendy’s runs Coca-Cola Freestyle machines at most locations. That means a wide flavor selection beyond the usual soda lineup. If you are comparing drink variety across chains, the Sonic menu is another strong option worth a look. Sonic built its entire reputation on drink customization and half price happy hour deals.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Soft Drink (Small) | $2.19 to $2.69 |
| Soft Drink (Medium) | $2.59 to $2.99 |
| Soft Drink (Large) | $2.89 to $3.29 |
| Lemonade (varieties) | $3.19 to $4.29 |
| Bottled Water | $1.69 to $1.99 |
| Chocolate Milk | $1.69 to $1.99 |
Coffee
Wendy’s coffee menu is small but functional. The Frosty-ccino line is the standout if you want something sweeter than plain drip coffee. It is not trying to compete with dedicated coffee chains, and it does not need to for a quick stop on the way to work.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Hot Coffee (Small) | $1.29 to $1.39 | 5 |
| Cold Brew (Small) | $1.89 to $2.39 | 15 |
| Vanilla Frosty-ccino (Small) | $2.19 to $2.69 | 210 |
| Chocolate Frosty-ccino (Small) | $2.19 to $2.69 | 220 |
Bakery and Sweet Treats
These are the items people forget Wendy’s even sells. They are a solid grab if you want something small alongside your main order. They also hold up well if you are ordering ahead for a group.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate Chunk Cookie | $1.59 to $1.69 | 330 |
| Sugar Cookie | $1.59 to $1.69 | 330 |
| Oatmeal Bar | $1.59 to $1.79 | 270 |
| Cinnabon Pull-Apart | $3.69 | Varies |
Sauces and Dips
Most sauces come free with your order. Extra portions and specialty dips usually run about 30 to 50 cents each. Wendy’s does carry spicier options at some locations, including a jalapeño ranch and a honey mustard with real kick. Availability depends on your market, so do not assume every location stocks the same lineup, especially outside larger metro areas.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Ranch, Honey Mustard, BBQ, Ketchup (standard) | Free with order, extra $0.30 to $0.50 |
| Spicy Dips (where available) | $0.30 to $0.50 |
Kids Meal
Every kids meal comes with a side, a drink, and a small toy. The toy still matters to a five year old. The rotation is not what it used to be a decade ago, back when tie-in toys were a genuine reason to pick one chain over another.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Kids’ Hamburger | $4.39 to $4.69 |
| Kids’ Cheeseburger | $4.69 to $4.99 |
| Kids’ 4 Pc. Nuggets | $4.29 to $4.99 |
| Kids’ 4 Pc. Spicy Nuggets | $4.29 to $4.99 |
Wendy’s Biggie Deals: $4, $6, and $8
This is the section most people searching for Wendy’s menu prices in 2026 actually want. Here is exactly how the new value tier breaks down, since the official rollout materials leave out a lot of the practical detail people ask about.
$4 Biggie Bites: pick one sandwich from a short list. That usually includes the Jr. Cheeseburger, Crispy Chicken Sandwich Jr., or Bacon Cheeseburger Jr. Add your choice of 4 piece nuggets or junior fries.
$6 Biggie Bag: choose your sandwich, then add 4 piece nuggets, junior fries, and a small soft drink. This is the closest match to the old Biggie Bag, just at a new price point and with a slightly smaller fry portion.
$8 Biggie Bundle: pick two items from a list that includes a Jr. sandwich, Double Stack, junior fries, or a small drink. This tier works well for sharing, or for anyone who wants more than one item without ordering a full combo.
Ask about upgrading fries or your drink to medium or large. The upcharge is usually under a dollar. For comparison, Taco Bell’s value tier on the Taco Bell menu works on a similar tiered structure. It is worth checking both if price is your main deciding factor between the two.
Nutrition, Allergens, and Dietary Guide
A few notes worth knowing before you order. Wendy’s chili is not labeled gluten free on the official allergen chart. If you manage a gluten sensitivity, treat it as a maybe rather than a safe default, and check with staff directly before ordering. The Taco Salad without seasoned beef works for vegetarians. Most sources also treat the plain Taco Salad as halal friendly, though Wendy’s does not carry official halal certification at most United States locations.
Common allergens across the menu include wheat, milk, soy, and egg. These show up mostly in the buns, biscuits, and cheese. If you are managing a specific allergy, Wendy’s official nutrition and allergen guide on its website lists every ingredient by item. It is worth five minutes before you order somewhere new to you, especially if a reaction would be serious rather than just uncomfortable.
For protein focused eaters, Dave’s Triple packs around 70 grams of protein. That puts it near the top of any fast food menu, Wendy’s included. If you are comparing macro heavy options across chains, it is also worth checking the McDonald’s menu. Protein counts vary more than most people expect between similarly sized burgers from different chains.
Why Wendy’s Prices Vary by Location
The prices above are national estimates. Your local Wendy’s can run higher or lower depending on real estate costs, state minimum wage, and local competition. A plain Baked Potato is a good example of just how wide that range gets. Recent pricing put it around $4.38 in Los Angeles, $4.34 in Manhattan, $3.41 in Miami, and $2.64 in West Virginia. That is nearly a two dollar swing for the exact same item. It caught me off guard the first time I compared receipts from two different states side by side.
If you want exact pricing, search for Wendy’s menu prices near me through the official app. It pulls live pricing for your specific location rather than a national average. That is the only reliable way to know the real number before you order anything.
Wendy’s vs McDonald’s vs Burger King: Quick Price Comparison
All three chains compete hard on value. The differences show up fastest in the flagship burger and the breakfast menu, so that is where this comparison focuses.
| Item | Wendy’s | McDonald’s | Burger King |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flagship Burger | Dave’s Single, $5.99 to $6.49 | Big Mac, see McDonald’s menu for current pricing | Whopper, see Burger King breakfast menu for combo pricing |
| Value Tier | $4/$6/$8 Biggie Deals | Dollar Menu items, full details on the McDonald’s menu | $1 to $5 value picks |
| Breakfast Start Time | 6:30 AM | Varies by location, see the McDonald’s breakfast menu | Check the Burger King breakfast menu for hours |
Wendy’s tends to land in the middle on straight burger pricing. It is usually cheaper than a comparable Burger King combo, but slightly above McDonald’s on similar items. If breakfast pricing matters more to you than lunch, check the McDonald’s breakfast menu side by side with Wendy’s. It only takes a minute before you decide where to go.
Wendy’s Hours
Most Wendy’s locations open around 6:30 AM. They close between 11 PM and 1 AM, with drive-thru often running later than the dining room closes. Hours vary by market, so always check your specific location before planning a late night stop.
| Day | Typical Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday to Thursday | 6:30 AM to 12 AM |
| Friday and Saturday | 6:30 AM to 1 AM |
| Sunday | 6:30 AM to 12 AM |
| Thanksgiving and Christmas | Closed or reduced hours, check locally |
How to Order From Wendy’s
You have four real options for getting Wendy’s menu items. The official Wendy’s website works well for simple pickup orders when you already know exactly what you want. The Wendy’s app is the fastest option for mobile checkout, and it unlocks app-only deals you will not see at the counter. Walking in and ordering directly still works fine if you prefer talking to a person or need to ask questions about ingredients. The drive-thru is the obvious choice if you are not planning to eat inside. The app is generally the best route if you want Wendy’s Rewards points on every order. In-person orders do not always get scanned correctly for points.
About Wendy’s
Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy’s in Columbus, Ohio in 1969. He named it after his daughter Melinda Lou, whose family nickname was Wendy. The chain built its identity on fresh, never frozen beef and square patties that stick out past the bun. In 1989, Wendy’s became the first major fast food chain to introduce a true value menu concept. Rivals eventually copied the idea, but Wendy’s got there first. That legacy carries directly into today’s Biggie Deals lineup, nearly forty years later. The basic idea has not changed. Stretch a small budget further without cutting corners on the food.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in the new $4, $6, and $8 Wendy’s Biggie Deals?
The $4 Biggie Bites include one sandwich plus nuggets or fries. The $6 Biggie Bag adds a drink and both sides. The $8 Biggie Bundle lets you pick two items from a wider list, including a second sandwich.
Why did Wendy’s get rid of the 4 for $4 deal?
Wendy’s replaced it with the tiered Biggie Deals menu on January 14, 2026. The stated goal was more customization at multiple price points, though the new $4 tier comes with smaller junior fries than the old deal did.
Is Wendy’s more expensive than McDonald’s or Burger King in 2026?
Wendy’s generally sits in the middle. Its flagship burger tends to cost slightly more than McDonald’s comparable option, but often less than a similar Burger King combo. This varies heavily by location, so treat it as a general trend rather than a fixed rule you can count on everywhere.
What can I get at Wendy’s for under $5?
The $4 Biggie Bites deal, a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, a Crispy Chicken Sandwich, a small Frosty, or a 10 piece nugget order all typically fall under five dollars.
Is Wendy’s chili gluten free?
It is not officially labeled gluten free on Wendy’s allergen chart. Treat it as uncertain rather than safe if you manage a gluten sensitivity, and check with staff before ordering.
Is the Wendy’s Taco Salad vegetarian or halal?
Order it without seasoned beef for a vegetarian option. Most sources consider the plain version halal friendly, though Wendy’s does not hold official halal certification at most United States locations.
What time does Wendy’s serve breakfast?
Breakfast typically runs from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM, though exact hours can vary by location and by market.
Do Wendy’s menu prices vary by location?
Yes, significantly. A plain Baked Potato alone can swing nearly two dollars between markets like West Virginia and Los Angeles.
What is the healthiest item on the menu?
A plain grilled chicken sandwich without mayo is one of the lower-calorie picks. A small chili or a side salad with light dressing also works well if you want something higher in protein.
Does Wendy’s have a secret menu?
Wendy’s does not officially promote a secret menu. Customers commonly customize orders anyway, like turning a Dave’s Single into a lettuce wrapped burger for a lower-carb option.
Does Wendy’s have spicy sauces?
Some locations carry a jalapeño ranch or a hotter honey mustard, though availability depends on your market. Ask at the counter or check the app before assuming it is on hand.
What are Wendy’s regular and holiday hours?
Most locations run from about 6:30 AM to midnight or 1 AM, with reduced or closed hours on major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Always check your specific store before making a special trip.
Can I order Wendy’s for delivery, and does it earn Rewards points?
Yes, Wendy’s partners with major delivery apps. Orders placed through the official Wendy’s app do earn Rewards points, but third party delivery apps do not always credit points the same way.
How do I join Wendy’s Rewards?
Download the official Wendy’s app and create a free account. You will start earning points on qualifying purchases right away, redeemable for free menu items over time.
The Bottom Line
Wendy’s menu prices in 2026 sit right in the middle of the fast food pack. The new Biggie Deals lineup is worth trying. Plenty of regulars still miss the old 4 for $4, myself included some days. Sometimes I just want the simplicity of one fixed combo instead of picking through tiers. Print this page for a quick reference at the counter. Bookmark it and check back too, since prices here get rechecked on a regular schedule. A lot of competing menu guides get left to go stale instead. For more chains to compare, browse the full list of restaurant menus on this site. That includes the Chick-fil-A menu, Taco Bell menu, Chipotle menu, Five Guys menu, and Sonic menu.
Prices are estimates and vary by state, city, and franchise location. Always confirm current pricing at your nearest location or on the official app before ordering.
