Wendy’s Menu: Prices, Calories and Full Guide (2026)
Wendy’s menu runs from about $1.39 for a Honey Butter Biscuit to about $10.59 for a Big Bacon Classic Triple, and the whole board covers around 150 items across 13 categories, from breakfast at 6:30 in the morning to late night drive thru. The headliners are Dave’s Single, the Baconator, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and the Classic Chocolate Frosty, and the value play is the Biggie Deals lineup. This guide lists the full menu with prices and calories, explains the deals, and answers the four questions everyone asks: how much is it, how many calories are in it, is it available all day, and what comes with it.

Why We Researched This Menu
Wendy’s is one of the most searched fast food menus in the United States, with about 715,000 monthly searches for the menu alone, and it is also one of the hardest to price, because around 95 percent of Wendy’s restaurants are franchise owned and each operator prices its own market. The same Dave’s Single can differ by more than a dollar between two cities, and Wendy’s publishes calories on its menu pages but no prices. We researched the official menu for the categories and the calories, then cross checked prices across several current October 2026 listings, and we present ranges, not single guessed numbers, with the disagreement stated wherever listings differ.
Full Menu With Prices
Prices below are 2026 United States averages from current listings, checked in October and November 2026. Wendy’s does not publish prices on its menu, and the menu footer says price and participation may vary, so treat every price as a range and check the app or the menu board at your restaurant before you order. Calories are from Wendy’s own published menu.

Our Food Review
Wendy’s menu is built on two ideas that still hold up: fresh, never frozen square beef patties, and a Frosty that is part dessert and part fries dip. Dave’s Single is the reference point for the whole board: a quarter pound patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, ketchup, and mayo on a toasted bun, 560 calories and 31 grams of protein for about $5.49. It is a solid, well balanced burger, and it is the best value of the premium burgers. Dave’s Double and Triple add patties and protein, and the Triple carries 72 grams of protein for about $7.99, the best protein per dollar on the burger board, per current listings.
The Baconator is the showpiece, and it eats like one: two quarter pound patties, six strips of applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, ketchup, and mayo, 890 calories and 59 grams of protein for about $7.69. It is rich and salty, and it is a lot of food for one sitting. The Son of Baconator is the smarter order for most people: the same build with two junior patties and three strips of bacon, 590 calories for about $5.89. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich, at 560 calories for about $4.94 to $6.49, is the best value sandwich on the board, and the Classic Chocolate Frosty, 190 to 510 calories by size for about $1.70 to $2.79, is the cheapest way to end the meal.
Dave’s Single
The premium burger line, Single, Double, and Triple, is named after founder Dave Thomas and built on quarter pound square patties. The Single is the one to order if you want the classic Wendy’s taste without the Baconator’s weight: fresh beef, American cheese, crisp lettuce, tomato, pickle, ketchup, and mayo. At 560 calories it is also the lightest of the premium burgers, and as a combo with fries and a drink it runs about $9.49 to $11.99, though the homepage advertises a classic combo at $7.99.
Baconator
The Baconator is Wendy’s bacon heavy signature: half a pound of fresh beef, six pieces of applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, ketchup, and mayo, with no vegetables to get in the way. It carries 890 calories and 59 grams of protein, the second highest protein figure on the burger menu, and it costs about $7.69 on its own and about $11.79 to $14.99 as a combo. Order the Son of Baconator if you want the same flavor at 590 calories for about $5.89.
Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Nuggets
The chicken side of the board is where Wendy’s competes hardest. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich is a hand breaded chicken fillet with a spicy coating, lettuce, and mayo, 560 calories, and listings disagree on its price, from about $4.94 to $6.49, with our own site’s Wendy’s restaurant page listing $6.49. The Classic Chicken Sandwich is the same build without the heat, 550 calories for about $5.39. Ten piece Chicken Nuggets run 430 calories. Both sandwiches are cheaper than Dave’s Single and nearly as filling, which is why they anchor the value end of the chicken menu.
Picky Eats
For spice sensitive eaters, order the Classic Chicken Sandwich instead of the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and ask for the sauce on the side. The Baconator has no vegetables, so it suits eaters who skip lettuce and tomato, while Dave’s Single comes with the full build and can be ordered plain. For kids, the Wendy’s Kids Meal has smaller portions, and the Jr. Hamburger at about $1.59 and 270 calories is the cheapest sandwich on the board. For low calorie orders, a Jr. Classic Chocolate Frosty is 310 calories, and the salads on the Fresh Made Salads menu are the lightest full meals. Check the allergen notes on the official menu: Dave’s Single lists egg, milk, soy, wheat, and sesame among its allergens.
Parents Review and Family Tips
Wendy’s is an easy family stop because the menu splits cleanly: adults take Dave’s or the Baconator, kids take the Kids Meal or a Jr. burger with nuggets, and everyone shares fries and a Frosty. The Biggie Deals and Biggie Bags are the family value play, with a burger, nuggets, fries, and a drink bundled together, though Wendy’s does not publish their prices on the menu, so check the app at your restaurant. Order in the app for the best deals, because the app carries offers the menu board does not. For a cheaper family meal, split a Baconator Combo and add a Jr. burger and a Frosty, rather than ordering three full combos.

Source and method: calories from the official Wendy’s menu at order.wendys.com, checked November 1, 2026. Protein, fat, and sodium figures from current listings that report Wendy’s published nutrition data, checked October 2026. Where a listing disagrees, we use the official calorie figure and note the gap. The Baconator calorie figure is 890 on the official menu; some listings say 900. The Dave’s Single calorie figure is 560 on the official menu, and listings agree. Frosty and fries calories are ranges because they vary by size: the Jr. Classic Chocolate Frosty is 310 calories and Jr. Natural Cut Fries are 260 calories on the official menu.
What to Know Before You Visit
- Prices vary by location, because most Wendy’s restaurants are franchise owned. The same item can differ by more than a dollar between two cities, and airport and delivery prices run higher.
- Breakfast starts about 6:30 AM, per listings, and runs in the morning only. Wendy’s does not publish a breakfast end time on its menu pages, so check the app for your restaurant.
- The regular lunch and dinner menu takes over after breakfast ends in the morning. The exact switch time varies by location, and Wendy’s does not publish it on its menu pages.
- Biggie Deals, Biggie Bags, and Everyday Value are the value tiers. Wendy’s does not publish their prices on the menu, so check the app or the board in the restaurant.
- Frosty flavors rotate. The Classic Chocolate and Vanilla Frosties are always on the board, and Frosty Fusion and Frosty Swirl flavors change with the season.
- The famous Frosty dipped fries move is not on the menu: order a Frosty and fries together and dip.
- Check the app before you go. App only offers and meal deals change often, and the app shows your restaurant’s actual prices.
Is It Worth Visiting
Yes, for a fast food burger with real beef and a dessert worth the trip. Dave’s Single at about $5.49 is a fair price for a quarter pound fresh beef burger, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich is the best value sandwich on the board, and a Frosty for about $1.70 to $2.79 by size is the cheapest good dessert in fast food. Skip the Baconator Combo at up to $14.99 unless you are very hungry, and order the Son of Baconator or a Dave’s Single Combo instead. Check the app first, because the price at your restaurant is the only price that counts.

What was researched: the full official menu categories, calorie figures for the headliner items, and price ranges from several listings, with disagreements stated. Nothing was invented. Prices are labeled as location varying listings ranges, because Wendy’s publishes no nationwide price list. Where a price or a nutrition figure was not captured, the post says so plainly instead of guessing. Breakfast hours are from listings, labeled as such, because Wendy’s does not publish them on its menu pages. Note: the slug wendys-menu is taken by the site’s existing Wendy’s restaurant listing page, so this guide uses the distinct slug wendys-menu-prices-calories-full-guide.
