What’s Included in the Baconator Combo?
According to Wendy’s official menu listing, the Baconator burger is composed with:
- 1/2 pound* fresh, never frozen ground beef
- American cheese
- Six pieces of crispy Applewood smoked bacon
- Ketchup
- Mayo
- A potato bun
*This is the approximate weight of the meat before being cooked, according to Wendy’s.
The Baconator burger is served as a combo with a side (usually fries) and a drink. The default size for the side and drink may differ by location and/or ordering channel. Wendy’s lets you size up or swap things when customizing your order.
What is the Wendy’s Baconator combo?
The Baconator Combo takes Wendy’s iconic Baconator burger and adds a side and drink, making the stand-alone sandwich a full meal. It’s part of Wendy’s combo menu line up and is available at participating Wendy’s locations across the USA, in-restaurant, through drive-thru, and via online and app ordering.
The Baconator itself has been a menu fixture for years, built around the idea that more bacon is always the answer. As a combo, it’s marketed as a quick way to get a burger, fries, and a drink without ordering each item separately.
Price of Baconator Burger vs Price of Combo
If you buy the Baconator as a sandwich on its own, it’s usually a lot cheaper than buying the combo, because the combo comes with a side and a drink. The exact dollar difference between the sandwich only price and the combo price will vary based on your restaurant’s pricing and the amount of your side and drink selections. If you’re not wanting fries or a soft drink, ordering the sandwich as is (or substituting a smaller side) may be the better value, depending on local pricing.
Baconator Combo Calories
This is where it’s important to be precise: the Baconator Combo does not have one single “combo calorie count,” because the total depends entirely on which side and drink you pick.
- Baconator burger calories: The burger itself carries a substantial calorie count, reflecting the half-pound of beef, bacon, and cheese.
- Fries/side calories: Calories change depending on whether you choose small, medium, or large fries, or swap in a different side like a baked potato or salad.
- Drink calories: A fountain soda, lemonade, unsweetened iced tea, or water all carry very different calorie counts — a diet or zero-calorie drink adds essentially nothing, while a large regular soda can add several hundred calories.
- Total combo calories: Add the burger, your chosen side, and your chosen drink together to get your actual total. There is no single accurate “combo total” without knowing your specific selections.
For the most accurate, up-to-date calorie figures tied to your exact order, use Wendy’s official nutrition calculator on the Wendy’s app or website, which lets you build your combo and see the running total.
Baconator Combo Size/Portion
The Baconator burger itself is a single, fixed-size sandwich (built around a half-pound of beef before cooking). The “size” flexibility in the combo comes from your side and drink choices, which typically range from small to large depending on what’s offered at your location.
Available Side and Drink Options
Standard Wendy’s combo sides commonly include:
- Natural-cut fries (regular size, with options to size up)
- Alternative sides where available, such as a baked potato or side salad (may vary by location and may involve an upcharge)
Standard drink options typically include:
- Fountain sodas
- Iced tea
- Lemonade
- Bottled water
Availability of specific sides and drinks can vary by restaurant, so check your local menu in the app for exact options.
