Best value test: compare the local meal price with the local sandwich, Hash Browns and small coffee prices at the same restaurant and during the same breakfast period. The calculator near the end performs this comparison.
What Is Included in the Standard Meal?
Do not assume a medium drink: the official meal description uses a small Premium Roast Coffee. A restaurant may allow another size or beverage, but an upcharge and different calorie total can apply.
Does the meal include syrup?
The sweet maple taste is built into the McGriddles cakes. The standard meal description does not promise a separate hotcake syrup packet. A restaurant may provide syrup only if it appears as an available extra or is requested and approved.
Does the meal include two Hash Browns?
The standard meal includes Hash Browns as the side. Do not assume that two Hash Browns are included unless the selected restaurant’s meal description explicitly shows a second portion.
What Is Inside the Bacon McGriddles Sandwich?
McGriddles cakes
Soft, warm griddle cakes with the sweet taste of maple form the top and bottom of the sandwich.
Applewood-smoked bacon
Thick-cut bacon provides the salty and smoky meat layer.
Folded egg
A fluffy folded egg sits between the bacon, cheese and griddle cakes.
American cheese
One slice of melted American cheese provides the creamy savoury layer.
Are McGriddles cakes the same as regular pancakes?
They have a pancake-like texture and a sweet maple taste, but they are shaped and formulated to hold a breakfast sandwich. They are served as sandwich cakes, not as a stack of regular hotcakes with butter and syrup.
Is the egg freshly cracked?
This sandwich uses a folded egg rather than the fresh-cracked round egg used on the Egg McMuffin. Choose the Egg McMuffin when the round fresh-cracked egg preparation is more important than the McGriddles bread.
Texture choice: McGriddles cakes are soft and sweet, a biscuit is buttery and crumbly, a bagel is denser and chewier, and an English muffin is firmer and less sweet.
New This Month: Do Not Confuse It with the Honey Brown Butter Biscuit
July 2026 update: McDonald’s launched the limited-time Honey Brown Butter Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit on July 21 at participating U.S. restaurants. It is a separate 490-calorie biscuit sandwich.

Breakfast Hours and the Local Cutoff
McDonald’s says local franchisees and Co-Ops determine breakfast menus and serving hours. Breakfast is often available from restaurant opening until approximately 10:30 or 11:00 AM local time.
Early morning
The safest period for finding the complete breakfast menu and all standard meal options.
10:30–11:00 AM
A common changeover period. Two nearby restaurants can stop serving breakfast at different times.
After changeover
The app normally removes unavailable breakfast products when the restaurant begins lunch service.
How to check today’s exact availability
Confirm the address, not only the nearest-looking map pin.
The item must appear in Breakfast Meals for the selected ordering period.
Do not accidentally select only the 430-calorie sandwich.
Availability can disappear when the restaurant switches to lunch.
How to Check the Exact Local McGriddles Meal Price
Sign in and enable location access, or enter your ZIP code manually.
Double-check the full address because a submitted order cannot be transferred to another restaurant.
Pickup avoids mixing the restaurant price with delivery markups and fees.
Select Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Meal rather than the sandwich-only item.
Confirm Hash Browns, small Premium Roast Coffee and any requested changes.
Check the local price, tax, upgrades, deal, Rewards item and pickup method.
Accurate comparison method: compare the same standard meal at the same time, using pickup, without a personalised deal. Switching stores, channels or customisations makes the prices less comparable.
App Deals, McValue and Rewards
Is this McGriddles meal part of the $4 breakfast deal?
No. The current official $4 McValue breakfast choices are the Sausage McMuffin or Sausage Biscuit, each served with Hash Browns and a small Premium Roast Coffee. The Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Meal remains a separate local-price meal.
Can you redeem Rewards for the Bacon McGriddles?
The currently published national Rewards tiers list Sausage McGriddles at 3,500 points and Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles at 7,000 points. The Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddles is not listed as a standard published tier reward on the current Rewards page. Check the app because account offers and programme choices can change.
Do not assume that a free sandwich reward includes the complete meal. Hash Browns, coffee, substitutions, upgrades and taxes may remain payable unless the reward explicitly includes them.
