Wendy’s menu features fresh, never frozen beef burgers cooked to order. From Dave’s Single to the loaded Baconator, every burger is juicy and full of bold flavor. Complete your meal with a Jr. Cheeseburger, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, chili, Baked Potato, hot fries, or a classic Frosty the delicious variety Wendy’s fans keep coming back for.
Calorie counts vary depending on which burger you pick, generally ranging from about 240 calories for a Jr. Hamburger up to 890+ calories for something like a Dave's Triple. A standard Dave's Single, for comparison, comes in around 570 calories.
No, they're not. Wendy's has long marketed itself around using fresh, never-frozen beef for its hamburgers — a point the brand has built much of its identity on since it started in 1969. Patties are made from fresh beef delivered to restaurants and cooked to order, rather than being frozen first.
Hamburgers become available once the regular lunch menu kicks in, typically around 10:30 AM after breakfast service ends. Hours can vary slightly by location, so it's worth checking with your local Wendy's if you're planning to stop by right around that time.
Sodium content depends on the specific burger, generally ranging from about 460mg for a Jr. Hamburger up to 1,290mg or more for something like a Dave's Triple. A standard Dave's Single typically has around 890mg of sodium.
The classic setup includes a beef patty on a bun topped with ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onion. Some sandwiches in the lineup, like the Dave's Single, also come with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, while the simpler Jr. Hamburger sticks to just the basic condiments.
The Jr. Hamburger is typically the cheapest option, generally priced around $1.59 to $2.29 depending on location. The Jr. Cheeseburger and Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger are close behind, usually just a bit more, and often show up as part of the $4 Biggie Bites value deal for an even better price.
