McDonald’s Menu 2026: Complete Menu, Prices & Calories
Everything on the McDonald’s USA menu right now — burgers, chicken, breakfast, drinks, Happy Meals, and the value deals — laid out in plain English so you know what to order and what it’ll cost you.
If it’s been a while since you’ve walked up to the counter or opened the app, McDonald’s might look a little different than you remember. Snack Wraps are back for good this time. The old Dollar Menu has turned into something called McValue. And prices, well, they keep creeping up, but they also depend a lot on which McDonald’s you’re standing in. A Big Mac in a small town in Texas can cost half of what the same sandwich costs in a big city in California.
So instead of guessing, here’s a full walkthrough of the 2026 menu — what’s on it, roughly what it costs, and how many calories you’re looking at. Think of this as the guide you’d want a friend to send you before you go stand in that drive-thru line.
Quick heads-up on pricing: McDonald’s restaurants are individually owned by franchisees, which means prices are set locally, not by one national price list. The numbers below are realistic national averages pulled together from current menu data, but your local price could run a dollar or two higher or lower. Always check the app for your exact store before you order.
Breakfast Menu
Breakfast is still served until 10:30 or 11 a.m. at most locations, and it’s honestly where McDonald’s does some of its best, simplest work. The classics haven’t changed much, and they’re still some of the cheapest things on the whole menu.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Egg McMuffin | $4.49 | 310 |
| Sausage McMuffin with Egg | $4.79 | 480 |
| Sausage Biscuit | $2.49 | 430 |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit | $4.99 | 470 |
| Hash Browns | $2.19 | 140 |
| Hotcakes (3-stack) | $4.99 | 590 |
| Sausage Burrito | $2.79 | 300 |
| Big Breakfast | $6.99 | 740 |
| Premium Roast Coffee (Medium) | $1.99 | 0–5 |
If you’re trying to keep breakfast cheap, the Sausage Biscuit and Hash Browns combo is still one of the best deals on the entire menu, and it usually shows up as part of the $4 Breakfast Meal Deal in the app.
Burgers & Sandwiches
This is the heart of the menu — the stuff most people are actually craving when they say “let’s get McDonald’s.” The Big Mac is still the headliner, but the lineup underneath it does a lot of the heavy lifting for anyone watching their budget.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Big Mac | $5.29 | 550 |
| Quarter Pounder with Cheese | $6.79 | 520 |
| Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese | $8.29 | 750 |
| McDouble | $3.29 | 400 |
| Cheeseburger | $2.29 | 300 |
| Hamburger | $1.99 | 250 |
| McCrispy (classic) | $6.29 | 620 |
| McChicken | $2.49 | 400 |
| Filet-O-Fish | $5.79 | 390 |
Want it as a meal instead of just the sandwich? Adding medium fries and a medium drink typically tacks on about $4 to $5, so a Big Mac Meal lands somewhere around $9 to $10 depending on your area.
The Snack Wrap Comeback
After years of fans asking for it back, the Snack Wrap is officially a permanent menu item again. It comes in a few flavors, folds up crispy chicken, lettuce, cheese, and sauce into a small tortilla, and it’s priced to be a quick, cheap bite rather than a full meal — usually right around $3.
Chicken & Chicken Nuggets
Beyond the McChicken and McCrispy sandwiches above, nuggets remain one of the most ordered things on the menu, for kids and adults alike.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 4 pc. Chicken McNuggets | $3.19 | 170 |
| 10 pc. Chicken McNuggets | $5.49 | 410 |
| 20 pc. Chicken McNuggets | $8.39 | 830 |
| Buffalo Ranch McCrispy | $6.79 | 640 |
Dipping sauces — like Sweet ‘N Sour, Honey Mustard, or Buffalo — usually cost around $0.25 to $0.50 extra if you want more than the one that comes free with a nugget order.
Fries & Sides
No McDonald’s order really feels complete without something crunchy on the side, and fries remain the undisputed favorite.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| World Famous Fries (Small) | $2.29 | 230 |
| World Famous Fries (Medium) | $3.56 | 320 |
| World Famous Fries (Large) | $4.19 | 480 |
| Apple Slices | $1.50 | 15 |
| Side Salad | $2.79 | 15 |
McCafé Drinks, Shakes & Ice Cream
McCafé has quietly become one of McDonald’s biggest strengths — the coffee lineup competes directly with places like Dunkin’, usually at a lower price.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Roast Coffee (Medium) | $1.99 | 0 |
| Iced Coffee (Medium) | $2.79 | 140 |
| Caramel Frappé (Medium) | $4.19 | 510 |
| McCafé Latte (Medium) | $3.99 | 190 |
| Vanilla or Chocolate Shake (Medium) | $4.29 | 580 |
| Soft Serve Ice Cream Cone | $1.69 | 200 |
| McFlurry (M&M’s or Oreo) | $4.49 | 510 |
| Fountain Drink (Medium) | $1.76 | 150–210 |
Happy Meals
Happy Meals are still built the same simple way they always have been: a main, a side, a drink, and a toy. What changes year to year is mostly the toy tie-in and a small price bump.
| Item | Price | Calories (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Hamburger Happy Meal | $5.99 | 430 |
| Cheeseburger Happy Meal | $6.29 | 480 |
| 4 pc. Chicken McNuggets Happy Meal | $6.49 | 390 |
| 6 pc. Chicken McNuggets Happy Meal | $7.19 | 530 |
Every Happy Meal comes standard with apple slices and a choice of milk, juice, or a soft drink, so parents can swap out the fries for something lighter at no extra cost.
The McValue Menu (The New “Dollar Menu”)
McDonald’s did away with the old $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu a while back and replaced it with something called McValue. It’s a bit more flexible, and it’s really made up of a few different deals stacked together rather than one simple list.
- Under $3 Menu — a small rotating group of items, like a small fries or a small drink, priced under three dollars.
- $5 Meal Deal — a McDouble or McChicken bundled with a small fries and a small drink for around $5.
- $4 Breakfast Meal Deal — a breakfast sandwich, hash browns, and a small coffee for around $4.
- Buy One, Add One for $1 — order a select item at regular price and add a second one for just a dollar more.
These deals are only available through the McDonald’s app and at participating locations, so it’s worth checking what’s live near you before you head out.
Desserts & Sweets
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Pie | $1.99 | 230 |
| Baked Chocolate Chip Cookie | $1.49 | 170 |
| Cinnamon Roll | $3.29 | 460 |
How to Save Money at McDonald’s in 2026
A few habits genuinely make a difference here, and none of them are complicated:
- Open the McDonald’s app before you order — most of the real deals only show up there, not at the counter.
- Order combo meals instead of building your own; bundling almost always beats buying items separately.
- Check for the daily or weekly app-only offers, which sometimes drop a Big Mac or McCrispy down several dollars.
- Skip the extra dipping sauces if you’re on a tight budget — they add up fast at $0.25–$0.50 each.
- If you’re feeding a family, compare a couple of Happy Meals against one large shareable order; sometimes the bundle wins, sometimes it doesn’t.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do McDonald’s prices vary so much by location?
Because almost every McDonald’s in the U.S. is independently owned by a franchisee. Corporate sets suggested pricing, but the owner of each restaurant can adjust prices based on local rent, labor costs, and competition.
Is the Dollar Menu really gone?
The original $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu has been retired, but its spirit lives on in the McValue menu, which includes an Under $3 section along with the $4 and $5 meal deals.
What time does breakfast end?
Most locations stop serving breakfast at 10:30 or 11 a.m. and switch to the all-day menu after that, though a few restaurants keep breakfast items available longer.
Are the calorie counts exact?
They’re close, standard averages for each item as normally prepared. Customizations — extra sauce, added cheese, upsized portions — will change the final number.
Prices and calories in this guide are national averages current as of 2026 and are meant as a general reference. Actual menu items, pricing, and availability differ by restaurant and can change without notice — always confirm with your local McDonald’s or the official app before ordering.
