On the national Wendy’s menu in October 2026, a Jr. Hamburger costs about $1.59. A Dave’s Single costs about $5.49. A Baconator costs about $7.69. The value tiers start at $4 with Biggie Bites. This Wendy’s menu with prices covers every category, the Biggie Deals, calories, protein, Rewards, and the current app offers.
Almost every restaurant is franchise-owned, so each owner sets local prices. This Wendy’s menu with prices reflects three independent October 2026 price checks and Wendy’s own press release. Where sources agree, you see one number. Where they split, you see the range.

Why Do Wendy’s Prices Differ by Location?
Rent, local wages, and nearby competition shape each store’s menu board. Wendy’s also says prices may run higher in Alaska, California, and Hawaii. Third-party delivery apps add markups and fees on top.
Sources I checked this month show the spread. A Dave’s Single reads $5.49 on three national price checks. One other site shows $6.30 for the same burger, which likely reflects a pricier market. A baked potato showed $2.64 in West Virginia and $4.38 in Los Angeles in an earlier check.
For your exact number, open the Wendy’s app and pick your store. Treat every table below as a planning guide.
Wendy’s Biggie Deals: $4, $6, and $8
Wendy’s launched the Biggie Deals value menu on January 14, 2026. This section follows Wendy’s own press release. The deals are not valid for combo meals. Individual items cost regular price.
| Tier | Price | What you choose |
|---|---|---|
| Biggie Bites | $4 | Pick one: Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Jr. Cheeseburger, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, 4 Pc. Nuggets, or Jr. Fry. Pick a second: 4 Pc. Nuggets, Jr. Fry, or Small Soft Drink. |
| Biggie Bag | $6 | Pick one: Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Jr. Cheeseburger, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, or Double Stack. Includes 4 Pc. Nuggets, Jr. Fry, and a Small Soft Drink. |
| Biggie Bundle | $8 | Pick two: Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Jr. Cheeseburger, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, or Double Stack. Includes Jr. Fry and a Small Soft Drink. |
Some price checks also list a Jr. Cheeseburger Biggie Bag. One shows it at $5 and another at $6. The January press release does not mention it, so confirm it in your app.
At breakfast, the Breakfast Biggie Bundle lets you pick two morning items for $3. Three independent sources list that price.
Is the Biggie Bag Worth It?
Yes, by my math. I priced a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger bag item by item. The sandwich costs about $2.89, nuggets about $1.99, Jr. fries about $1.19, and a small drink about $2.29. That totals about $8.36, so the $6 bag saves roughly $2.36.
A Jr. Cheeseburger version totals about $7.46 when bought separately. Even at $6, it still saves about $1.46. Prices vary, so your savings will too.
What Is Wendy’s $5, $6, $7, and $3 Special?
Shoppers search for these by dollar amount. Here is what each one means in October 2026.
What is Wendy’s $5 meal deal?
I found no Wendy’s product called the “$5 box.” Searchers usually mean a Jr. Cheeseburger Biggie Bag. One check lists it at $5 with a Jr. Cheeseburger, 4 nuggets, Jr. fry, and small drink. Another lists it at $6.
What is Wendy’s $6 special?
The $6 Biggie Bag. Pick a Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Jr. Cheeseburger, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, or Double Stack. Wendy’s adds 4 nuggets, a Jr. fry, and a small drink.
What is Wendy’s $7 special?
The current official Biggie Deals menu has no $7 tier. A 2 for $7 promotion ran in early 2025 and has been reported as ended. The $8 Biggie Bundle is the closest current deal.
What is Wendy’s $3 special?
The Breakfast Biggie Bundle. Pick any two breakfast items for $3 before about 10:30 AM. Popular pairs include a Honey Butter Biscuit with a Sausage Biscuit.
Is the Wendy’s 4 for $4 still available?
No. It is not part of the official Biggie Deals menu. The $4 Biggie Bites tier now fills that slot with two picks instead of four.
Wendy’s Menu With Prices: Burgers and Cheeseburgers
The square patty is Wendy’s signature. Wendy’s says its hamburgers use fresh, never frozen beef in the contiguous United States and Alaska. The Dave’s line comes in Single, Double, and Triple. The Baconator stacks two patties with six strips of Applewood smoked bacon.
| Item | Typical price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Jr. Hamburger | about $1.59 | 230 |
| Jr. Cheeseburger | about $1.99 | 270 to 280 |
| Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe | $2.59 to $2.79 | 330 |
| Double Stack | $2.89 to $3.29 | 380 to 400 |
| Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger | $2.89 to $3.29 | 350 to 380 |
| Bacon Double Stack | $3.39 to $3.79 | 420 to 470 |
| Dave’s Single | $5.49 to $5.50 | 560 |
| Son of Baconator | $5.89 to $5.99 | 590 to 640 |

| Dave’s Triple | $7.99 to $9.29 | 1,090 to 1,100 |
| Big Bacon Classic Triple | $9.09 to $9.59 | 1,140 |
How Much Does an Extra Patty Cost?
Adding a patty costs about $1.20 to $1.30 on the Dave’s line. A Single at $5.49 becomes a Double at about $6.79. That Double becomes a Triple at about $7.99. Each patty adds roughly 250 to 290 calories.
Wendy’s Menu With Prices for Combo Meals
A combo adds medium fries and a medium drink. Prices below combine three October 2026 checks.

| 10 Pc. Nuggets Combo | $8.29 to $8.49 |

Chicken Sandwiches, Nuggets, and Tenders
This part of the Wendy’s menu with prices is where sources agree most. Nuggets come crispy or spicy at the same price. Tenders are whole strips of chicken breast with a dipping sauce.
| Item | Typical price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Crispy Chicken Sandwich | about $2.99 | 340 |
| Crispy Chicken BLT | $2.69 to $3.49 | 420 |
| Spicy Chicken Sandwich | about $4.89 | 560 |
| Classic Chicken Sandwich | $4.89 to $5.99 | 490 to 550 |
| Asiago Ranch Chicken Club | $6.49 to $6.99 | 670 |
| 4 Pc. Nuggets | $1.99 to $2.69 | 170 |
| 6 Pc. Nuggets | $2.89 to $3.29 | 250 to 260 |
| 10 Pc. Nuggets | about $4.89 | 430 |
| 3 Pc. Tenders | $4.99 to $5.49 | 380 to 420 |
| 4 Pc. Tenders | $6.29 to $7.29 | 500 to 560 |
Nugget math is simple. A 4 Pc. order costs about 50 cents per nugget. A 6 Pc. order costs about 48 cents. A 10 Pc. order costs about 49 cents. Stores that sell a 50-piece Party Pack, listed near $18 to $20, drop that to about 40 cents.
For other chicken menus, compare the Chick-fil-A menu, the KFC menu, and Raising Cane’s.
Wendy’s Breakfast Menu With Prices
Wendy’s added breakfast nationally in 2020. Most stores serve it from about 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Reports in 2026 say Wendy’s is giving franchisees more flexibility, so some stores start later or shorten the menu.
Wendy’s official menu lists breakfast under combos, croissants, biscuits, classics, burritos, sides, and meal deals. English muffin sandwiches no longer appear in those national categories, although a few third-party sites still list them.
| Item | Typical price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Honey Butter Biscuit | $1.19 to $1.39 | 270 to 330 |
| Sausage Biscuit | $1.69 to $1.79 | 360 to 470 |
| Egg and Cheese Biscuit | $2.49 to $2.99 | 300 to 370 |
| Homestyle French Toast Sticks, 4 Pc. | $2.69 to $2.99 | 360 to 460 |
| Bacon, Egg and Swiss Croissant | $3.99 to $4.99 | 420 to 430 |
| Maple Bacon Chicken Croissant | $4.49 to $5.49 | 540 to 560 |
| Breakfast Baconator | $4.49 to $6.99 | 630 to 730 |
| Egg and Cheese Biscuit Combo | $5.19 to $5.69 |
The Breakfast Baconator shows the widest split of any item. Check your app before you order it.
For other morning menus, see the McDonald’s breakfast menu and the Burger King breakfast menu.
Fries, Chili, and Baked Potatoes
Wendy’s fries are natural cut, skin on, and sea salted. Chili has been on the menu since 1969. Baked potatoes are rare among burger chains.
| Item | Typical price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Bites | $0.99 to $1.49 | 35 |
| Natural-Cut Fries, large | $3.29 to $3.49 | 430 to 470 |

Frosty and Sweet Treats
The Frosty is thicker than a shake and lighter than ice cream. Classic Chocolate has been on the menu since 1969. Swirls add a sauce on top. Fusions blend mix-ins throughout. Wendy’s reported that the Cookie Dough Frosty Fusion became a core item after its spring 2026 launch.
| Item | Typical price | Calories |

Apple Bites and the Honest Kids Fruit Punch sit near $0.99. The Jr. Hamburger at about $1.59 is the cheapest burger. Many stores also sell a Jr. Frosty near $1. The Everyday Value category groups eight low-priced sandwiches. On the national baseline they run from about $1.59 to $3.49.
For a full meal, the $4 Biggie Bites is the lowest-cost route. Before 10:30 AM, the $3 Breakfast Biggie Bundle costs less.
What Is the Best Thing on the Wendy’s Menu?
Taste is personal. These picks are my opinion, based on price, calories, and how often shoppers ask about them.
The $6 Biggie Bag wins on value. The Baconator suits big appetites. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich is the safe chicken pick. The Son of Baconator gives the same flavor for about $2 less. A chocolate Frosty with fries is the classic Wendy’s pairing.
Which Wendy’s Item Has the Most Calories and Protein?
The Big Bacon Classic Triple is the heaviest burger at about 1,140 calories. Dave’s Triple follows near 1,100 calories and about 72 grams of protein. A large Cookie Dough Frosty Fusion adds up to 930 calories.

| Dave’s Triple | 72 g |
| Baconator | 59 g |
| Spicy Chicken Sandwich | 28 g |

Protein values come from one compiled check of Wendy’s allergen and nutrition guide. Use Wendy’s nutrition calculator to confirm.
Lighter picks stay under 350 calories. Options include a Jr. Hamburger at 230, a plain baked potato at 270, and a Crispy Chicken Sandwich at 340. Four nuggets add only 170.
Allergens, Gluten, and Vegetarian Options
Common allergens across the menu include wheat, milk, soy, egg, and sesame. They appear mostly in buns, biscuits, cheese, and sauces. Fries, nuggets, and tenders share fryers, so cross contact is likely.
Wendy’s has no certified gluten-free items. Wendy’s chili is not labeled gluten free. Wendy’s does not sell a veggie burger in the United States. Vegetarians can choose baked potatoes, fries, Apple Bites, cookies, a Frosty, or a Honey Butter Biscuit. Ask for a salad without chicken or bacon. Wendy’s does not hold official halal certification at most United States locations.
How Do Wendy’s Rewards Work?
Wendy’s Rewards is free through the app or website. It lowers what you pay on any Wendy’s menu with prices list. Wendy’s describes the program as earn points, redeem for free food, and repeat. Members earn 10 points per dollar spent. Gift card purchases do not earn points.
Points expire 365 days after you earn them, and the oldest points are used first. Wendy’s says points have no cash value. One October 2026 check reports a 200-point welcome bonus after the first purchase and rewards starting near 200 points. Another puts the entry reward near 300 points. Reward costs change, so check the Rewards Store.
Order through the app if you want points. Third-party delivery apps do not always credit them.
What Wendy’s Deals Are Running Now?
Deals sit outside the standard Wendy’s menu with prices, so check them separately. These offers came from one October 2026 deal roundup. Most are app-only and many expire soon. Confirm each one in the Offers tab.
| Offer | Details |
|---|---|
| 10 Pc. Nuggets for $1.99 | Digital orders only |
| Free fries on Fridays | With a $5 digital order |
| Free 6 Pc. nuggets on Wednesdays | With a $5 digital order |
| 50% off a Dave’s Single | Rewards members on Saturdays, code listed through December 4, 2026 |
| Boo! Book | $1 book with five free Jr. Frosty coupons, on sale through November 1, 2026 |
The Frosty Key Tag is a separate offer. It is a small yearly purchase that gives a free Jr. Frosty with a purchase. Availability and price change by year.
What Limited-Time Items Is Wendy’s Selling Now?
Limited-time items change quickly. In spring 2026, Wendy’s launched several items, including the Cookie Dough Frosty Fusion and jalapeño sandwiches. In February 2026, it added the Cheesy Bacon Cheeseburger and Chicken Tenders Ranch Wrap. Reports disagree on the Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger this fall, so check the app before you plan around it.
Wendy’s vs McDonald’s vs Burger King
All three chains fight on value. Wendy’s leans on fresh beef and the Biggie Deals tiers. McDonald’s leans on app deals and a wide breakfast lineup. Burger King leans on flame-grilled burgers and combos.
For a side-by-side, read the McDonald’s menu. Other nearby options include the Culver’s menu and the Sonic menu. You can also check the Subway menu, the Taco Bell menu, and the Chipotle menu.
Wendy’s Hours and How to Order
Most Wendy’s locations open around 6:30 AM. Dining rooms often close between 10 PM and midnight. Drive-thrus usually stay open later, and a few run 24 hours. Holiday hours differ by store. Many stores close or open late on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
This Wendy’s menu with prices is a planning guide, so confirm hours too. To order, enter your ZIP code in the app or on the website. Pick a store, then choose pickup, drive-thru, or delivery. Pickup through the app is usually the cheapest route.
A Short History of Wendy’s
Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy’s in Columbus, Ohio, in 1969. He named it for his daughter Melinda Lou, whose family nickname was Wendy. In 1989, Wendy’s became the first quick-service chain to introduce a value menu, according to its own press release. The Biggie Bag launched in 2019, and Biggie Deals followed in 2026. Wendy’s reports more than 7,000 restaurants worldwide.
