Wendy's Menu With Prices (September 2026)

Wendy's Menu Prices at a Glance

Wendy's sells itself on fresh beef and square patties, but what keeps people coming back is the value structure. The Biggie Bag put a full meal under six dollars while rivals were pushing combos past ten, and the Junior Frosty at 99 cents is still the cheapest dessert in American fast food. This page covers the whole board, grouped the way the ordering screen groups it.

Prices below are national in-store averages taken from the Wendy's app across several states. Every restaurant is franchise owned and sets its own numbers, so the figure at your branch can sit either side of these. Ordering through DoorDash or Uber Eats adds a menu markup of roughly 25 percent before the delivery fee.

Biggie Bag and Value Menu

The Biggie Bag is the reason to order here rather than anywhere else. Each tier bundles an entree, four piece nuggets, fries and a drink, and the gap between buying the bag and buying the same four items separately is usually three to four dollars. Tiers move around, so check the app before assuming a price.

Wendy's Burgers Menu and Prices

Every beef patty is square, fresh and never frozen in the continental United States, which is the one claim Wendy's has built four decades of advertising on. Dave's Single is a quarter pound, the Double is two patties, the Triple is three. The Baconator sits apart from that line with two patties and six strips of bacon.

The Son of Baconator is the sensible order in that group. It carries the same build as the full Baconator with smaller patties, costs almost two dollars less and comes in 250 calories lighter.

Chicken Sandwiches and Wraps

Wendy's runs three fillets rather than one: the small crispy patty used in value items, the full size breaded fillet in the Spicy and Classic, and a grilled fillet for anyone avoiding the fryer. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich is the item most regulars rate highest, and it has been on the menu since 1996.

Nuggets and Chicken Tenders

Nuggets come crispy or spicy at the same price, and the spicy version carries a genuine heat rather than a token dusting. Sauces are free with a nugget order, and most stores will hand over two or three without argument.

Fresh-Made Salads

Salads are assembled in store rather than shipped in sealed, which is why they cost more than the equivalent at other chains and why the lettuce is not limp. Half sizes exist at roughly two dollars less and are not always on the board, so ask.

Dressing is packed separately and accounts for 100 to 200 of the calories listed. Using half the packet is the easiest cut on the whole menu.

Sides, Chili and Baked Potatoes

Chili has been on the Wendy's menu since 1969 and is made from the beef that comes off the grill, which is why it exists at all. A small chili is 240 calories with 15 grams of protein, making it the most useful low calorie order in fast food. Baked potatoes are the other item nobody else offers.

Frosty and Desserts

The Frosty is technically neither a milkshake nor soft serve, and the chocolate version has been unchanged since 1969. The Junior Frosty at 99 cents is the single best value item in the industry, and the Frosty Key Tag sold each winter gives a free Junior Frosty with any purchase for a full year.

Wendy's Breakfast Menu and Hours

Breakfast runs from 6:30am to 10:30am at most locations. App orders cut off fifteen minutes before the counter does, and a handful of stores stretch to 11:00am at weekends. Wendy's entered breakfast late, in 2020, and built the menu around a fresh cracked egg rather than a folded patty, which is the reason the sandwiches taste different from the competition.

Breakfast Sandwiches and Classics

Breakfast Combos

Every combo adds seasoned potatoes and a drink to the sandwich. The saving against ordering separately runs about a dollar fifty.

Drinks and Coffee

Wendy's coffee is better than the price suggests and the cold brew is genuinely competitive with the coffee chains at half the cost. The Frosty-ccino blends cold brew with Frosty mix and only appears during breakfast hours.

Combo Meals

A combo adds medium fries and a medium drink. It saves about a dollar against buying the three items separately, which is less than the Biggie Bag saves, so check both before you order.

Kids Meals

Every kids meal comes with a choice of small fries or apple bites and a small drink or milk. Apple bites carry 35 calories against 210 for the fries, so the swap is worth making.

Wendy's Opening Hours

Most Wendy's locations open at 6:30am for breakfast and close around midnight, with the drive-thru running an hour or two past the dining room. Late night is a real part of the business here, and stores near campuses often stay open until 2am or later at weekends.

How to Pay Less at Wendy's

The app is where the discounts live and the counter price is almost never the best price. Worth doing before you order:

• Join Wendy's Rewards. Points build at 10 per dollar and cash out from 300 points for a Junior Frosty upward.
• Check the Offers tab first. There is usually a free item with a minimum spend, and offers stack with a Biggie Bag.
• Compare the Biggie Bag against the combo. The bag adds nuggets and normally lands three to four dollars cheaper.
• Buy a Frosty Key Tag in winter. It costs a couple of dollars and gives a free Junior Frosty with every purchase for a year.
• Order a small chili instead of fries. Same price bracket, 30 calories more, and 15 grams of protein instead of none.

Nutrition and Allergen Notes

Calorie counts come from Wendy's published nutrition data and cover each item as it is normally built. Removing mayonnaise saves around 90 calories on a chicken sandwich, dropping cheese saves about 50, and swapping fries for apple bites cuts nearly 200 from a meal. Fries, nuggets and tenders share fryers, so anyone avoiding gluten or handling a serious allergy should treat cross contact as likely.
