Son of Baconator at Wendy’s Menu – Price, Calories & Nutrition (2026)
$ 4.19
Meet the Son of Baconator the younger, slightly lighter heir to one of the most beloved burgers on the Wendy’s menu, and trust us, this one inherited all the good stuff.
Two fresh, never-frozen beef patties. Crispy Applewood smoked bacon. Gooey melted American cheese. Creamy mayo and a generous squeeze of ketchup all piled onto a soft, warm potato bun that holds every delicious layer together perfectly.
It’s got that same bold, smoky, bacon-forward flavour that made the original a legend just in a size that won’t leave you needing a nap afterward. Whether you’re not quite ready to take on the full Baconator or you simply want something satisfying without going all the way, the Son of Baconator hits that sweet spot every single time.
Same fresh beef. Same crispy bacon. Same irresistible flavour. Just the right size.
Like Baconator, like Son. For More Items Check Wendy’s Menu.
