Wendy’s Hamburgers Menu

By Alex Rivera, Lead Menu Researcher | Updated August 2026

Wendy’s burger lineup runs from the $1.59 Jr. Hamburger up to the triple-stacked Big Bacon Classic Triple, all made with fresh beef that’s never frozen before cooking. This page breaks down every burger with current prices and calories, plus real side-by-side comparisons to help you pick between the ones that look similar on the menu board. For the full menu with breakfast, sides, drinks, and combos, see the complete Wendy’s Menu guide.

A note on pricing: these figures are averaged from multiple U.S. markets and cross-checked against the pricing used across this site. Wendy’s does not publish a single national price list, each location is priced by its franchise operator, so treat these as a reliable estimate rather than an exact local quote.

Premium Burgers

Dave’s Single

Wendy’s classic quarter-pound burger. One fresh beef patty with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, ketchup, and mayo on a toasted bun. At $5.49 and 560 calories, it’s the best starting point if you want the original Wendy’s taste without going heavier.

Dave’s Double

Two beef patties instead of one, same toppings. At $6.79 and 810 calories, it’s the middle option for anyone who wants more protein than the Single without jumping to the Triple.

Dave’s Triple

Three beef patties stacked with cheese and classic toppings. At $7.99 and 1,100 calories, this is one of the largest burgers on the menu, built for a big appetite rather than a quick lunch.

Baconator

Two beef patties, six strips of Applewood smoked bacon, and American cheese with ketchup and mayo. No lettuce or tomato. At $7.69 and 890 calories, it’s Wendy’s most recognized burger and the heaviest bacon option on the list.

Son of Baconator

A smaller Baconator: two junior patties, four strips of bacon, cheese, ketchup, and mayo. At $5.89 and 590 calories, it gives most of the same flavor at a lower price and about a third fewer calories.

Big Bacon Classic

Adds fresh lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion to the bacon-and-cheese formula that’s missing from the Baconator. Available in single ($6.69), double ($7.89), and triple ($9.09) sizes.

Value and Junior Burgers

Double Stack

Two junior beef patties with cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onion. At $2.89, it’s the cheapest way to get two patties on the menu.

Bacon Double Stack

The Double Stack with bacon added. At $3.49 and 420 calories, it’s a smaller bacon cheeseburger for anyone who wants the flavor without ordering a full Baconator.

Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger

A junior patty with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. At $2.89, this is consistently one of the best value-to-flavor picks on the menu.

Jr. Cheeseburger and Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe

The Jr. Cheeseburger ($1.99) is a simple junior patty with cheese, pickles, onion, ketchup, and mustard. The Deluxe version ($2.59) adds lettuce and tomato for a slightly fresher bite.

Jr. Hamburger

The lightest burger on the menu at $1.59 and 230 calories. Junior patty, pickles, onion, ketchup, and mustard, no cheese. The best option if you specifically want the lowest calorie count on the burger side of the menu.

Which Burger Should You Order? Head-to-Head Comparisons

Dave’s Single vs. Double vs. Triple

All three use the same toppings and the same bun, so the decision is really about patty count. The Single ($5.49, 560 Cal) is the everyday order. The Double ($6.79, 810 Cal) is the middle ground for a bigger appetite without going all in. The Triple ($7.99, 1,100 Cal) is built for a maximum meal, not a quick lunch.

Baconator vs. Son of Baconator

Same core idea, different scale. The full Baconator uses two patties and six bacon strips for $7.69 and 890 calories. The Son of Baconator uses two smaller patties and four bacon strips for $5.89 and 590 calories, a meaningfully lighter and cheaper version of the same burger.

Big Bacon Classic vs. Baconator

Both are bacon-forward, but the Big Bacon Classic keeps lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion, while the Baconator strips those out entirely and leans on just beef, bacon, cheese, ketchup, and mayo. If you want fresh vegetables in the mix, the Big Bacon Classic is the better call. If you want a heavier, meat-focused burger, the Baconator wins.

Nutrition Quick Reference

Burger	Calories	Best For
Jr. Hamburger	230 Cal	Lowest calorie option on the burger menu
Jr. Cheeseburger	270 Cal	Cheapest burger with cheese
Double Stack	380 Cal	Two patties at the lowest price

Most burgers on this page can be ordered as a combo with medium fries and a medium drink. The full combo pricing table, including chicken and nugget combos, is on the Lunch & Dinner Combos section of the main menu. For the $5 Biggie Bag and other value deals, see the Deals & Value Menu page.
