McDonald's Menu with Prices

This section is focused on McDonald’s Menu FAQs to answer any question or clear up any confusion you may have regarding the McDo menu.

What is the most popular at McDonald’s?

The most popular menu item at McDonald’s is the French Fries, followed by the Big Mac. This article claims McDonald’s sells as much as 9 million pounds of fries every day.

Are there secret menu items at McDonald’s?

Yep, McDonald’s actually has plenty of secret menu items. Here are a few of them:

Big Mac Hash

Big Mac Hash combines McDonald’s hash browns, available only in the morning, with a Big Mac, served after breakfast. This means you have a brief window to order it, right when breakfast ends and lunch begins.

The Big Mac Hash involves placing two hash browns on a breakfast platter, chop up a Big Mac, and spread it over the hash browns. Then they will drizzle the Big Mac sauce generously and sprinkle with grilled onions and chopped pickles.

The Chicken McGriddle

Everyone loves a McGriddle as well as the Southern-style chicken so when you combine these two you get a winner.  Simply order a sausage McGriddle and request that they replace the sausage with a Southern-style chicken patty and you’ll have a mouthwatering chicken McGriddle.

Ice Cream Sandwich

You can get an ice cream sandwich at McDonald’s simply by ordering two chocolate chip cookies and some ice cream—perhaps a hot fudge sundae or even an Oreo McFlurry.

The Poor Man’s Big Mac

If you’re a Big Mac fan but find it too expensive, try this secret item. Order a McDouble without ketchup or mustard. Then, request Mac sauce, lettuce, and extra onions. You will have a tasty mini Big Mac at a lower price. This version also has fewer calories compared to the traditional Big Mac.

McDonald's Restaurants

What’s the best meal in McDonald’s?

As you probably know by now, my go-to meal at McDonald’s is a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, medium fries, and medium drinks. On occasion I would opt for the 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, again with medium fries and drinks. BUT while these two are what I would consider my best meal in McDonald’s, it may not be true for others. “Best” is subjective. Some would say the healthiest option is the best option, others would consider the tastiest as their top choice. And then there are those who are after the value of the meal, in which case it would probably be the McDouble which costs around $3.

What is McDonald’s 2 for $3 special?

The McDonald’s 2 for $3 Mix-and-Match Breakfast deal allows you to pair some of your favorite breakfast items and pay only $3. You can mix and match any 2 from the following options:

  • Sausage Biscuit
  • Sausage McMuffin
  • Sausage Burrito
  • Hash Browns

What is the $5 Meal Deal?

The $5 Meal Deal will be rolled out later this month (June 2024) for a limited time only. It will include a McChicken or McDouble, 4-piece chicken nuggets, fries and your choice of drink.

McNuggets with BBQ Sauce.

How much is a 10-piece McNuggets?

A 10-piece Chicken McNuggets costs between $5 to $7, depending on the McDonald’s location you go to. To know the price of the 10-piece chicken nuggets meal at McDonald’s per state, you can check this article.

What is McDonald’s new Big Mac called?

The Double Big Mac is the latest addition to the Big Mac line. It’s double the fun with four 100% all-beef patties, topped with the legendary Big Mac sauce, pickles, lettuce, onions and 2 slices of American cheese sandwiched between a soft and fluffy bun.

How much is a Big Mac?

Is McDonald’s Big Mac 100% beef?

Yes, the Big Mac is made with 100% beef patties seasoned lightly with salt and pepper.

What is the largest burger at McDonald’s?

The biggest McDonald’s burger would be the Duble Big Mac which has 4 beef patties. It’s currently available for a limited time only.

Which is Bigger Big Mac or Quarter Pounder?

A Big Mac is made with two pieces of 10:1 meat, while a Quarter Pounder features a single piece of 4:1 meat. This translates to a Big Mac containing 1/5th of a pound of meat, while a Quarter Pounder boasts 1/4th of a pound. So if you’re looking for a burger with a larger meat portion, the Quarter Pounder is the better choice.

However, if by “bigger” you are referring to the overall dimensions of the burgers, the Big Mac is larger. This is due to its composition, which includes more ingredients and two meat patties instead of one, giving it a greater overall size.

How much is 50 chicken nuggets at McDonalds?

Most McDonald’s locations don’t sell the 50-piece McNuggets but here in Texas, you can find quite a few locations that do. The 50-Piece McNugget boxes cost around $12 to $15.

Are McNuggets 100% chicken?

According to McDonald’s their chicken nuggets are made with 100% chicken breast meat. However, they add: “as a percentage of the total recipe when the batter, seasoning and oil to cook the nuggets are taken into account, chicken meat constitutes 45% of the total Chicken McNugget®, the other ingredients account for the additional 55%.”

What time does McDonald’s start and stop serving breakfast?

Most McDonald’s locations start offering the breakfast menu around 5AM or 6AM, until about 10:30AM to 11:00AM.
