Wendy’s menu turns on a square beef patty, pressed so the corners hang past the edge of the bun. Chicken arrives breaded or grilled, and fries come natural-cut with the skin left on. A Frosty spins thick enough to hold a spoon upright.
Breakfast runs on its own board of biscuits, croissants and burritos until the lunch line takes over. Biggie Deals gathers the smaller sandwiches into a pick-your-own bundle. Kids’ meals pair a main with a side, a drink and a toy.
The short answer
The Wendy’s menu splits into a burger-and-chicken board served all day and a breakfast board that closes in the late morning. Hamburgers run from the Jr. Hamburger up to Dave’s Triple. Chicken covers breaded fillets, wraps and nuggets, and the Frosty anchors dessert.

Wendy’s Menu Prices and Calories
The Wendy’s menu runs below in board order: hamburgers first, then chicken, combos, salads, fries and the sweet end. Each row pairs an item with its calorie figure and what it rings up at. Breakfast, combos and the Frosty ladder each take a table of their own.
The Frosty and the cold brew line on the Wendy’s menu run one row per cup size, each carrying its own calorie count. Nuggets sell by the piece and fries by the carton. Combos attach a side and a fountain drink to the same sandwiches listed on their own further up.
Wendy’s Hamburgers and Cheeseburgers
Beef reaches the grill fresh rather than frozen, pressed square so the corners hang past the edge of the bun. Dave’s Single, Double and Triple stack quarter-pound patties one, two and three deep. The Baconator pairs two patties with six strips of applewood-smoked bacon. Jr. builds open the light end at 230 calories with the Jr. Hamburger.

Wendy’s Chicken Sandwiches and Nuggets Menu
Whole breast fillets go into the fryer breaded to order for the Classic and Spicy Chicken Sandwiches. Asiago Ranch Club Sandwich lays applewood-smoked bacon, Asiago cheese and ranch over either fillet, and the Grilled Chicken Wrap skips breading altogether.

Wendy’s Lunch and Dinner Combo Prices
A combo hangs a side and a fountain drink off a sandwich already on the Wendy’s menu. Dave’s Combo, the Baconator Combo and the Big Bacon Classic Combo run the burger side, while Classic, Spicy and Asiago Ranch combos cover chicken. Calories move with whichever side and drink go into the bag, so each combo carries a price alone.

Wendy’s Fresh-Made Salads
Salads sit at the fresh end of the Wendy’s menu, chopped in the restaurant through the day rather than arriving bagged. Cobb Salad piles bacon, egg, cheese and diced tomato over greens. Apple Pecan Salad folds in sliced apple, dried cranberries and pecans, and Taco Salad carries seasoned chili, cheese and tortilla strips. Romaine and grated Parmesan make Parmesan Caesar the plainest of the four.

Wendy’s Frosty and Frosty Fusion
The Frosty spins as a frozen dairy dessert thick enough to stand a spoon in, in Classic Chocolate and Vanilla. Cups run from a Junior up to a Large. Frosty Fusion folds Cookie Dough, OREO Brownie or Caramel Crunch pieces through that same base. Frosty Swirls ribbon Brownie Batter, Strawberry or Caramel sauce through it instead.

Snickerdoodle Cookie Frosty Fusion blends cookie pieces and snickerdoodle sauce into a Vanilla or Chocolate Frosty. Both builds list a starting price and a calorie range rather than a row for each cup.

| Snickerdoodle Cookie Chocolate Frosty Fusion™ | 410-740 | $4.89+ |
Wendy’s Cookies and Bakery Menu
Two cookies and a pull-apart sit beyond the Frosty. Sugar Cookie and Chocolate Chunk Cookie both land at 330 calories, baked soft through the middle. Cinnabon dough baked as a pull-apart round and iced over the top carries 550, and a six-pack of them serves a group.

Wendy’s Coffee and Cold Brew Prices
Cold brew steeps slowly in cold water rather than meeting heat, which keeps it smooth against a hot pour. Cream and syrup turn it into Vanilla, Caramel and Chocolate builds, plus a cream-and-sugar version. Caramel and Chocolate Cold Foam Cold Brew top the cold brew with a layer of foam. Regular Hot Coffee stays the plainest cup on the Wendy’s menu at 5 calories black.

Wendy’s Drinks and Lemonade Menu
Lemonade on the Wendy’s menu comes in All-Natural, Strawberry, Watermelon, Blueberry Pomegranate and Pineapple Mango, and Sprite Watermelon joins them by the cup.

Wendy’s Breakfast Combo Prices
A breakfast combo adds seasoned potatoes and a drink to a morning sandwich. Breakfast Baconator and Homestyle French Toast Sticks each get a combo version, as do the croissant, biscuit, English muffin and burrito builds. The Wendy’s breakfast menu keeps the same components across every one of them.

| Breakfast Burrito, Bacon Combo | $6.59 |

Wendy’s Breakfast Croissants
Croissants split and fill rather than sit alongside, so the butter layers soak up whatever goes inside, sausage, bacon or a breaded fillet. Sausage or applewood-smoked bacon meets a folded egg and Swiss on two of them. Maple Bacon Chicken Croissant runs a breaded chicken fillet under maple bacon instead.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Maple Bacon Chicken Croissant | 540 | $4.69 |
| Sausage, Egg & Swiss Croissant | 590 | $4.19 |
| Bacon, Egg & Swiss Croissant | 420 | $4.19 |
Wendy’s Breakfast Biscuit Prices
Biscuits bake through the morning and split hot, which is why this corner of the Wendy’s breakfast menu turns over fastest. Sausage or bacon joins a folded egg and cheese in the two fullest builds, and sausage gravy ladles over a split biscuit in another. Honey Butter Biscuit and Honey Buddy Chicken Biscuit take honey butter brushed across the top. Sausage Biscuit and Egg and Cheese Biscuit keep the shortest builds.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit | 590 | $4.19 |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit | 420 | $4.19 |
| Egg & Cheese Biscuit | 370 | $2.99 |

Wendy’s English Muffin Breakfast Menu
English muffins take the place of the biscuit or croissant in four sandwich builds, toasted and finished with buttery spread. Sausage, Egg & Cheese and Bacon, Egg & Cheese carry the full build, while Sausage & Cheese and Egg & Cheese keep it short. The two builds with meat and egg also come as combos on the Wendy’s menu.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Sausage, Egg & Cheese English Muffin | 540 | $4.89 |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese English Muffin | 370 | $4.89 |

| Egg & Cheese English Muffin | 320 | $2.79 |
Wendy’s Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast Burrito builds wrap scrambled egg and cheese in a flour tortilla and finish on the grill so the outside crisps. Bacon fills one and sausage the other, at 700 and 820 calories.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Breakfast Burrito, Bacon | 700 | $4.59 |
| Breakfast Burrito, Sausage | 820 | $4.59 |
Wendy’s French Toast Sticks and Breakfast Classics
Homestyle French Toast Sticks come battered and fried in four- and six-piece orders with icing to dip. Breakfast Baconator stacks sausage, applewood-smoked bacon, cheese and a folded egg on a bun at 630 calories.

| Homestyle French Toast Sticks, 4 PC | 460 | $2.99 |
| Homestyle French Toast Sticks, 6 PC | 630 | $4.19 |
Wendy’s Biggie Deals Menu
Biggie Deals gathers Jr. burgers, the Double Stack and the Crispy Chicken Sandwich into fixed bundle tiers on the Wendy’s menu. Biggie Bites sits on the lowest tier, four Biggie Bags share the middle one, and the Biggie Bundle tops the line.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Biggie Bites | $4.00 |
| Jr. Cheeseburger Biggie Bag® | $6.00 |
| Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger Biggie Bag® | $6.00 |

| Crispy Chicken Biggie Bag® | $6.00 |
| Biggie Bundle | $8.00 |
Wendy’s Breakfast Biggie Bundles
The morning entry in the Biggie line builds a bundle around a biscuit, seasoned potatoes and a hot coffee. Breakfast Biggie Bundles sits beside the all-day Biggie Deals rather than replacing them.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Breakfast Biggie Bundles | $3.00 |
Wendy’s Kids’ Meal Prices
The kids’ side of the Wendy’s menu pairs a main with a side, a kids’ drink and a toy. Hamburger, cheeseburger and two-piece tenders cover the smaller appetites, and both four-piece nugget meals come regular or spicy.
| Item | Price |

| Kids’ Hamburger | $4.29 |
| Kids’ Cheeseburger | $4.69 |

Wendy’s Hours
A typical restaurant unlocks the door at 6:30 in the morning and runs the dining room and the drive-thru on one clock. Closing lands at midnight most nights and an hour later on Thursday. Breakfast runs from opening until the late morning, when the burger board takes over.

What to Expect Inside a Wendy’s
Wendy’s opened as a single restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, and the square patty has been the signature since that first grill. Dining rooms run to booths and a self-serve fountain, and a drive-thru lane carries most of the volume.
The fresh-beef claim has a narrow scope, covering hamburger beef in the contiguous United States and Alaska and saying nothing about the chicken. Orders go in at the counter, at the drive-thru, in the app or at a kiosk. Builds with no button on the register have to go in at the counter. Wendy’s Rewards points accrue on qualifying purchases either way.
