Which Bacon Quarter Pounder Option Should You Choose?

Best lower-total choice

Burger Only

$8.99 reference • 630 Cal

Choose this when you already have a drink, do not need Fries or want to avoid the full meal total.

Complete combo

Medium Meal

$11.19 reference • 1,220 Cal

Choose this when you specifically want medium Fries and a medium fountain drink with the burger.

More beef

Double QPC

$6.99 reference • 740 Cal

Choose the regular Double Quarter Pounder when a second fresh-beef patty matters more than bacon.

Current McValue alternative

McDouble

Under $3 at participating stores

Choose this when price matters more than the larger Quarter Pounder fresh-beef format.

Fast decision: order the Bacon QPC burger alone for lower total cost, the meal when you genuinely want Fries and a drink, the Double QPC for more beef, or the McDouble when you are searching the current value menu.

Bacon Quarter Pounder Burger and Meal Price 2026

Option	2026 price status	Calories	What is included	Best use
Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese	$8.99 reference	630 Cal	Bacon QPC burger only	Lower total than adding a full meal
Bacon QPC Medium Meal	$11.19 reference	1,220 Cal	Burger + medium Fries + medium Coca-Cola example	Complete standard meal
Meal upgrade difference	+$2.20 reference	Drink choice changes total	Adds medium Fries and drink	Compare against buying components separately
McDelivery	Check delivery cart	Depends on selected drink	Food + possible delivery/service charges	Convenience rather than lowest price

Price rule: $8.99 and $11.19 are MacMenus reference figures, not McDonald’s official national prices. Different restaurants can show different burger, meal and delivery totals.

Is the $2.20 reference meal upgrade worth it?

Choose the meal when

You already planned to buy medium Fries and a medium drink.

Choose burger only when

You have a drink, want fewer total calories or prefer another side.

Never assume savings

Compare the meal against the same restaurant’s separate burger, Fries and drink prices.

What Comes on the Bacon Quarter Pounder With Cheese?

The current official Bacon QPC build is simpler than many unofficial menu pages suggest. McDonald’s currently describes the burger with bacon, fresh beef, two cheese slices, onions and pickles on a sesame-seed bun.

Sesame-seed bunSoft hamburger bun with sesame seeds.

Applewood-smoked baconThick-cut bacon is the main difference from the regular Quarter Pounder.

Two cheese slicesTwo slices of melty American cheese.

¼-lb fresh beefFour ounces before cooking; seasoned with salt and pepper.

Slivered onionsStandard onion topping listed on the current product page.

Tangy picklesStandard pickle topping listed on the current product page.

Ketchup and mustard check: the current official Bacon Quarter Pounder description does not list ketchup or mustard in its standard build. Do not assume it uses every topping from the regular Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Check your app customization screen if you want either condiment.

Bacon QPC vs Quarter Pounder, Double and Deluxe

Quarter Pounder	Reference burger price	Calories	Beef before cooking	Main difference
Quarter Pounder with Cheese	$6.39	520 Cal	4 oz	Standard QPC with cheese, onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard
Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese	$6.99	740 Cal	8 oz total	Second four-ounce beef patty
Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe	$7.49	630 Cal	4 oz	Lettuce, Roma tomatoes and creamy mayonnaise
Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese	$8.99	630 Cal	4 oz	Thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon

Interesting comparison: the Bacon QPC and Deluxe are both listed at 630 burger calories, but they reach that number with very different toppings. Deluxe adds lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise; Bacon QPC adds bacon.

How Much Is a Double Bacon Quarter Pounder With Cheese?

This search needs an important 2026 clarification. The current official U.S. burger menu lists a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese, but it does not currently list a separate nationwide Double Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese as a core menu item.

Current national item

Double Quarter Pounder

$6.99 reference • 740 Cal

Two four-ounce fresh-beef patties before cooking, with two cheese slices.

Current national bacon item

Bacon Quarter Pounder

$8.99 reference • 630 Cal

One four-ounce patty plus thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon.

Do not use an old media asset as current evidence. McDonald’s published a Double Bacon Quarter Pounder media asset in 2023, but the current 2026 U.S. burger menu does not list it as a separate nationwide core item. If your local app permits adding bacon to a Double QPC or another custom build, the price, calories and availability are local and should be taken from that live customization screen.

Bacon Quarter Pounder Calories and Protein

Official calories

630 Cal

For the standard Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese burger.

Meal calories

1,220 Cal

Official medium-meal example with medium Fries and medium Coca-Cola.

Protein reference

36 g

Current nutrition-reference figure. Verify the live McDonald’s nutrition panel before relying on it medically.

Beef weight

4 oz raw

The quarter-pound weight is measured before cooking.

Why protein is labeled differently: McDonald’s current public Bacon QPC product text clearly exposes the 630-calorie total, but the text version does not expose the protein number. Current nutrition references consistently list 36 g, so MacMenus labels that value as a reference and points users to the live McDonald’s Nutrition Calculator for final verification.

How to lower the total meal calories

1Order the burger without the full mealThe burger itself is 630 calories before Fries and a drink.

2Choose a zero-calorie fountain drinkThis can materially reduce the standard meal total compared with regular Coca-Cola.

3Choose a smaller side if offeredDifferent Fries sizes have different calorie totals.

4Review every customizationExtra cheese, bacon or another patty changes nutrition.

Allergen and ingredient considerations

!MilkAmerican cheese is a dairy ingredient.

!WheatThe standard hamburger bun contains wheat.

!SesameThe standard bun is a sesame-seed bun.

!Shared preparationMcDonald’s warns that shared equipment and preparation areas can create allergen cross-contact.

McDonald’s USA does not promote its U.S. menu items as vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free and does not claim the menu meets Halal or Kosher requirements. Users with serious allergies should use the current product panel or Nutrition Calculator before ordering.

Users searching for McDonald’s prices menu with prices, McDonald’s menu with prices 2026 or McDonald’s USA menu prices should treat the Bacon Quarter Pounder as a premium burger rather than a value-menu item.

2026 menu route	Example	Price status	How it compares with Bacon QPC
Under-$3 McValue	McDouble	Under $3 at participating restaurants	Lower-price beef option; smaller standard patty format
Under-$3 McValue	Small Fries	Under $3 at participating restaurants	Can be paired with burger-only instead of buying a full meal
Meal Deal	McDouble Meal Deal	$6 launch price*	Value-focused bundle rather than premium QPC meal
Premium burger	Bacon Quarter Pounder	$8.99 reference	Fresh quarter-pound beef plus bacon and two cheese slices

*McValue context: McDonald’s introduced the expanded 2026 Under-$3 menu on April 21. Current official terms say prices and participation may vary and those advertised value prices are not valid for delivery.

What happened to the McDonald’s Dollar Menu?

“McDonald’s dollar menu with prices” is still a common search, but the current national value platform is McValue. The 2026 Under-$3 lunch and dinner lineup includes McChicken, McDouble, 4-Piece McNuggets, small Fries and a medium soft drink.

Bacon QPC is not a Dollar Menu item. If the $8.99 reference is above your budget, compare the current McDouble, McChicken or McValue Meal Deal before changing restaurants solely for a cheaper Bacon QPC.

Fresh Beef, Cooking and Regional Exceptions

¼ lb before cooking

The patty starts at four ounces before cooking. The finished cooked weight will be lower because cooking changes moisture and fat content.

Cooked when ordered

McDonald’s says Quarter Pounder fresh-beef patties are cooked when you order at participating locations.

Regional exception

The fresh-beef programme applies at most restaurants in the contiguous U.S. and does not apply in Alaska, Hawaii or U.S. Territories.

How the standard burger is assembled

Fresh beef hits the grill

One four-ounce patty before cooking is seasoned with salt and pepper.

Two cheese slices are added

The hot patty is layered with two slices of American cheese.

Bacon creates the main variation

Thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon distinguishes this burger from the regular QPC.

Onions and pickles finish the toppings

The current national product description lists slivered onions and tangy pickles.

Everything goes on a sesame bun

The standard build uses a soft sesame-seed hamburger bun.

How to Check the Exact Bacon Quarter Pounder Price Near You

Open the McDonald’s app or restaurant locator

Enter a ZIP code, city, address or allow location access.

Select the exact restaurant

Confirm the full address. Nearby restaurants can show different regular prices.

Choose pickup first

Pickup gives the cleanest comparison with MacMenus reference prices.

Open Burgers

Select Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese rather than the regular QPC, Deluxe or Double.

Record the burger-only price

Compare it with the $8.99 editorial reference.

Open the meal separately

Check the current meal price and confirm medium Fries and drink size.

Review Deals and Rewards

Apply only offers that explicitly include the selected item or order.

Check the final bag

Confirm restaurant, burger, meal size, customizations, tax, fees and final payable amount.

Fair local comparison: compare the same Bacon QPC, same meal size, same pickup method and same day. A delivery quote from one restaurant is not comparable with a pickup price from another.

Customizing the Bacon Quarter Pounder

Change	What it does	Price effect	Nutrition effect
No bacon	Removes the defining bacon topping	Price may not fall	Calories and sodium decrease
No cheese	Removes two cheese slices	Price may remain unchanged	Reduces calories, fat, sodium and dairy
No pickles	Removes pickle slices	Usually no reduction	Small nutrition change
No onions	Removes slivered onions	Usually no reduction	Small nutrition change
Add sauce	Changes the standard build	May cost extra	Adds calories/sodium depending on sauce
Add bacon or another patty	Creates a non-standard local customization	Usually increases price	Can materially increase calories and protein

What happens next: available customizations appear only after you choose the restaurant and product. If the app does not show an extra patty or bacon option, do not assume the kitchen will offer it.

Pickup, McDelivery and Rewards

Pickup

Best channel for comparing local restaurant prices with this reference guide.

McDelivery

McDonald’s states delivery menu prices may be higher and delivery or other fees may apply.

Rewards

Eligible app purchases can earn points. Do not assume the Bacon version itself is always the same redemption option as the standard QPC.
