McDonald’s Menu With Prices & Calories in USA (Updated June 2026)

Let’s be honest — trying to check McDonald’s prices before you go is way harder than it should be. The official app makes you start an order just to see the cost of a Big Mac, and random Google results are often outdated by months.

So we built this page to fix that. Every price listed below is verified against the McDonald’s app and real in-store receipts as of June 2026. You’ll find the full breakdown — burgers, breakfast, McNuggets, meal deals, coffee, desserts, fries, everything — with calories listed right next to each price.

Bookmark this page. Next time you’re sitting in the drive-thru, you’ll know exactly what you’re spending before you roll down the window.

📌 Quick Answer — Most Searched Prices (June 2026)

Prices represent average USA costs and may vary by location. Tax not included.

McDonald’s Big Arch™ (Limited Time Only)

The Big Arch just dropped on March 3, 2026, and it’s the biggest new burger McDonald’s has added in years — two quarter-pound beef patties, triple white cheddar, and a signature Big Arch Sauce on a sesame-poppy seed bun. It’s a limited-time item, so grab it before it’s gone.

McDonald’s Breakfast Menu With Prices

If there’s one thing McDonald’s gets right every single morning, it’s breakfast. The Egg McMuffin alone has been a go-to since 1972, and the Sausage McGriddle — with those maple-flavored griddle cakes — is still one of the most underrated items on the entire menu.

Breakfast is served from opening until 10:30 AM at most locations (some extend to 11:00 AM). The important thing to know: breakfast items are generally some of the best value on the menu. An Egg McMuffin at $7.29 is a solid protein-packed start to the day without overspending.

💡 Best Value Pick: The Egg McMuffin at $7.29 gives you a filling breakfast with egg, cheese, and Canadian bacon for a fair price. If you need the full experience, the Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Meal at $11.29 is the move.

McDonald’s Featured Favorites Prices

These are the items that put McDonald’s on the map and keep people coming back every week. From the Big Mac that needs no introduction to the Spicy McCrispy that quietly became a top seller, this is the highlight reel of the entire menu — the items customers search for and order the most in 2026.

💡 Pro Tip: The “As Featured In” meals bundle any of these favorites with fries, a drink, and Sweet ‘N Sour sauce — usually saving you $1–$2 compared to ordering everything separately.

Top 10 Most Popular McDonald’s Items (2026

Before we dig into every category, here’s what people are actually ordering the most. These rankings are based on order frequency data, customer surveys, and what consistently shows up as the most searched items nationwide.

McDonald’s Burger Menu With Prices

The burgers are the backbone of this restaurant. From the $3.89 cheeseburger that makes the dollar menu worthwhile, all the way up to the Double Quarter Pounder for the really hungry, there’s a patty for every appetite and budget.

A few things worth knowing: the Quarter Pounder is now made with fresh beef (not frozen) at most US locations. That change alone makes a noticeable difference in taste compared to a few years ago. And the Big Mac’s special sauce? Still the same recipe since 1967.

If someone asks “how much is a cheeseburger at McDonald’s” — it’s still one of the cheapest hot sandwiches in American fast food at around $3.89.

💡 Best Value Pick: The McDouble at $4.59 gives you two beef patties and a slice of cheese for less than $5. It’s basically 90% of a Big Mac at half the price.

Chicken & Fish Sandwiches Menu With Prices

The chicken side of the menu has gotten a serious upgrade in recent years. The McCrispy (launched in 2021) was McDonald’s real answer to Chick-fil-A and Popeyes, and both the regular and spicy versions hold their own against any competitor.

The classic McChicken is still there for budget eaters — at around $3.10, it’s one of the cheapest chicken sandwiches in all of fast food. And the Filet-O-Fish, while polarizing, has a devoted fan base that keeps coming back for that steamed bun and tartar sauce.

💡 Best Value Pick: The McChicken at $3.10 is unmatched for price-to-protein ratio. For premium taste, the Spicy Deluxe McCrispy at $5.99 goes head-to-head with any other fast food chicken sandwich twice its price.

McNuggets & Meals Prices

Let’s talk nuggets. McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets have been around since 1983, and they’re still the #1 selling chicken nugget in America. The 10-piece has always been the sweet spot — enough for a full meal, but the 20-piece is where you get the best per-nugget value.

Spicy McNuggets are also available at most locations now. Same shape, same crunch, but with a cayenne and chili pepper kick that actually has some heat to it.

💡 Best Value Pick: The 20-piece at $7.00 gives you the biggest price drop per nugget. The 40-piece at $13.19 saves the most per nugget overall — perfect for sharing.

Fries, Sides, Sauces & Condiments Prices

McDonald’s fries don’t need an introduction. They’re the most famous french fries on the planet, and they account for a huge chunk of every order. But how much are they really?

The large fries come in at around $4.89 — which is definitely higher than a few years ago. But the small at $1.89 is still one of the best side deals in fast food. If you’re ordering for the table, the 2 Large Fries shareable at $6.29 saves you about $3.50 compared to buying them separately.

Most dipping sauces are free with McNuggets, but extra sauces cost around $0.25–$0.40 each. The Creamy Chili McCrispy Strip Dip at $5.99 is a newer addition that comes with its own fries.

💡 Best Value Pick: Small Fries at $1.89 — still one of the cheapest sides in any fast-food chain. Pair it with a free ketchup packet and you’re set.

McDonald’s $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu With Prices

You won’t find anything for a literal dollar anymore, but the $1 $2 $3 menu is still where you go when you want to eat for cheap. Sandwiches like the McChicken and McDouble sit under $3, breakfast staples like the Sausage Biscuit and Hash Browns stay under $3, and every soft drink on the list is available in all three sizes. If you’re trying to keep an entire meal under $7, this is the section to build it from.

McDonald’s Meal Deals & Value Menu Prices

Ordering individual items adds up fast — and that’s exactly why the meal deals exist. Whether it’s the $5 Meal Deal that bundles a sandwich, nuggets, fries, and a drink into one flat price, or the “Buy One, Add One for $1” promo that lets you double up for almost nothing extra, these are the smartest ways to eat at McDonald’s without watching your total climb past $12. Below you’ll find every current combo meal, value deal, and budget-friendly option broken down with prices and calories so you can pick the one that fits your appetite and your wallet.

McDonald’s Happy Meal Menu With Prices

The Happy Meal has been a staple since 1979, and it remains the easiest way to get kids a complete meal — entrée, side, drink, and a toy — in one box. Portions are kid-sized, which also makes Happy Meals a decent option for adults watching their calorie intake (the Hamburger Happy Meal is just 475 calories with apple slices and low-fat milk).

Current options include Hamburger, 4-piece McNuggets, and 6-piece McNuggets Happy Meals. Each comes with a choice of side (apple slices or small fries) and a drink.

💡 Budget Tip for Parents: The Hamburger Happy Meal at around $6.32 is the cheapest complete kids’ meal. If your child prefers nuggets, the 4-piece at $6.93 is the better value compared to the 6-piece at $7.19.

McDonald’s Shakes & Treats Prices

Save room for the end of your meal. The dessert menu at McDonald’s is genuinely underrated — the Baked Apple Pie at $1.89 is one of the cheapest desserts in any fast-food chain, and the OREO McFlurry at $4.39 is the kind of impulse buy that never disappoints.

The Vanilla Cone starting at $1.29 is probably the single best deal on the entire menu. It’s soft-serve ice cream in a cone for about a buck and change. No other chain comes close to that.

Chocolate Chip Cookies at $1.79 each are a solid add-on — grab one to round out your meal.

💡 Best Value Pick: Vanilla Cone at ~$1.29 is the best dessert deal in all of fast food. Period.

McCafé Coffee Menu With Prices

McCafé has quietly become one of the best value coffee options in the country. A small Premium Roast Coffee starts at just $2.39 — compared to $4+ at Starbucks for a basic drip coffee. The quality isn’t going to blow a specialty coffee shop out of the water, but for fast, hot, affordable caffeine, it’s extremely competitive.

The iced coffees and frappes are where McCafé really shines. A Caramel Frappé runs $4.19–$5.19 depending on size, which is still cheaper than the Starbucks equivalent. And the French Vanilla Latte is a fan favorite that most people don’t even realize is on the menu.

All McCafé drinks come in Small, Medium, and Large sizes. Prices typically jump about $0.40–$0.60 between sizes.

💡 Best Value Pick: Premium Roast Coffee (Small) at $2.39 — cheapest coffee from any major fast-food or coffee chain.

McDonald’s Beverages Prices

Beyond coffee, the beverage menu covers soft drinks, teas, juices, smoothies, shakes, and frozen drinks. A few things that set McDonald’s drinks apart: Coca-Cola famously tastes better at McDonald’s than almost anywhere else (the syrup-to-water ratio is specially calibrated), and Hi-C Orange Lavaburst — which was removed and then brought back — remains a cult favorite.

Smoothies and shakes are available in three sizes. The Mango Pineapple and Strawberry Banana smoothies are solid real-fruit options if you want something lighter than a milkshake.

💡 Best Value Pick: Any small soft drink at $3.19 — but check the app first. McDonald’s frequently runs $1 any-size soft drink deals through the mobile app.

McDonald’s Salads & Lighter Options

McDonald’s has scaled back its salad options significantly compared to a decade ago, but there are still lighter choices worth knowing about. Apple Slices ($1.29, 15 calories) are always available. The Fruit & Maple Oatmeal ($1.99, 320 calories) is a solid breakfast option that’s lower in fat than anything else on the morning menu.

For customers watching their intake, keep this in mind: a 4-piece McNuggets (170 calories) with apple slices and a water is actually one of the lowest-calorie complete meals you can build from the menu — and it’s under $6.

💡 Health Tip: You can always customize your order by removing sauces or requesting no cheese. These small changes can shave 100–200 calories off any sandwich.

McDonald’s Shareables & Bundles Prices

Feeding a group? The Shareables section is designed for exactly that. The 40-piece Chicken McNuggets at $13.19 is the best large-group value — that’s just $0.33 per nugget. Add a 2 Large Fries ($6.29) and you’ve got a party spread for under $20.

The Classic Big Mac Pack ($22.39) gets you multiple Big Macs with fries — ideal for families or game-day food runs. The Classic Cheeseburger Pack ($18.49) does the same thing at a lower price point.

And if your office has a cookie problem, the 13 Cookie Tote at $12.59 is an enabler in the best possible way.

McDonald’s Secret Menu & Menu Hacks (2026)

McDonald’s doesn’t officially recognize a “secret menu” in the US — but that hasn’t stopped customers from creating some genuinely great combinations using existing ingredients. These hacks have gone viral on TikTok and Reddit, and most crew members know exactly what you’re talking about when you order them.

How to order secret menu items:

Simply order the individual components and assemble them yourself, or politely ask the crew member if they can make it for you. Not every location will, but most are happy to help if you explain what you want.

Here are the most popular hacks worth trying:

1. Poor Man’s Big Mac

Order a McDouble and ask them to swap the ketchup and mustard for Big Mac sauce, then add lettuce. It costs around $4.59 compared to $6.72 for an actual Big Mac, and you get about 85% of the same taste. The only things missing are the middle bun and sesame seeds.

2. Hash Brown McMuffin

Grab any breakfast McMuffin and a Hash Brown on the side, then tuck the hash brown right inside the sandwich. The cost runs about $5.12–$8.12 depending on which McMuffin you pick. That crunch of the hash brown against the soft muffin and melted cheese is genuinely addictive.

3. Apple Pie McFlurry

Order an OREO McFlurry and a Baked Apple Pie, then crumble the pie into the ice cream and mix it all together. Some locations will even blend it for you if you ask nicely. For around $6.28, you get the best warm-pie-meets-cold-ice-cream dessert that McDonald’s doesn’t officially sell.

4. Big McChicken

This one takes a Big Mac and replaces the beef patties with McChicken patties. Order a Big Mac and two McChicken sandwiches, toss the McChicken buns, and stack the chicken patties in their place. It runs about $12.92 — not cheap, but it’s the ultimate pick for anyone who prefers chicken over beef.

5. Fries with Big Mac Sauce

Just ask for a side of Big Mac sauce when you order your fries. Most locations charge $0.25–$0.50 for it. Once you dip your fries in that tangy, creamy sauce instead of plain ketchup, there’s no going back.

6. The McChicken McDouble Stack

Order a McDouble and a McChicken, then open the McDouble and stuff the entire McChicken patty (minus the bun) between the two beef patties. The whole thing costs around $7.69 and gives you a three-patty, maximum-protein monster that fills you up without breaking the bank.

7. Land, Sea & Air Burger

This is a Big Mac, McChicken, and Filet-O-Fish all stacked together on one bun — beef, chicken, and fish in a single bite. It costs around $13.07 since you’re buying all three items. It’s more of a novelty experience than an everyday meal, but every McDonald’s fan should try it at least once.

8. Ice Cream Sandwich

Order two Chocolate Chip Cookies ($3.58) and a Vanilla Cone ($1.29). Sandwich the soft serve between the cookies. For around $4.87, you’ve got a legit ice cream sandwich that no fast-food chain officially sells.

9. McCrepe (Breakfast Hack)

Order a Big Breakfast with Hotcakes for around $8.29, then wrap one of the hotcakes around the scrambled eggs and sausage like a French crêpe. It takes a standard McDonald’s breakfast and turns it into something that feels completely different — sweet, savory, and surprisingly satisfying.

10. The Surf & Turf Burger

Order a Quarter Pounder and a Filet-O-Fish separately, then stack the fish patty on top of the beef. The total comes to around $11.58. Beef and fish sounds like an odd combo, but the tartar sauce mixing with the beef juices creates a flavor that actually works really well together.
