McDonald’s Quarter Pounder With Cheese Meal Price USA

The most useful 2026 planning figure for a standard medium Quarter Pounder With Cheese Meal is $10.69–$11.29. This is a MacMenus reference range, not an official national or guaranteed local price.

Meal option	2026 price status	Official standard calories	What is included	Best for
Quarter Pounder With Cheese Medium Meal	$10.69–$11.29 reference	1,110 Cal	Standard QPC, medium Fries and medium soft drink	Best overall balance
Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese Meal	$12.49 reference	1,330 Cal	Double QPC, medium Fries and medium soft drink	Two quarter-pound patties

Reference prices are editorial planning figures. The official product pages confirm meal contents and calories but do not publish one fixed U.S. restaurant price.

Do not call $11.29 the national price. Nearby restaurants can show different pickup prices, and McDelivery or third-party delivery can show a higher food subtotal plus fees.

What Comes in a Quarter Pounder With Cheese Meal?

1. Quarter Pounder With Cheese

One four-ounce fresh-beef patty before cooking, two American cheese slices, slivered onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard on a sesame seed bun.

2. Medium World Famous Fries

The official standard meal calorie calculation uses medium Fries. A larger order changes both price and calories.

3. Medium Soft Drink

The published 1,110-calorie total uses medium Coca-Cola. Another soft drink or zero-sugar option changes the total.

✓ Meal normally uses medium sidesThe official standard meal page describes medium Fries and a medium soft drink.

✓ Sauces are not automatically includedThe burger already has ketchup and mustard; dipping sauce availability is separate.

✓ Customizations can change the totalExtra cheese, bacon, another patty or a specialty drink may cost more.

✓ Tax is location dependentThe displayed menu price may not be the final checkout total.

Quarter Pounder Medium Meal Price vs Large Meal Price

The official U.S. product page publishes a standard medium meal configuration. “Large Meal” is a restaurant-level upgrade, so the price difference and calorie total should be taken from the selected store’s live ordering menu.

Feature	Medium Meal	Large Meal	What to verify
Burger	Standard Quarter Pounder With Cheese	Same standard burger	Whether another burger variant was selected
Fries	Medium Fries	Large Fries where locally offered	Actual upgrade price
Drink	Medium soft drink	Large drink where locally offered	Drink type and sugar content
Standard published calories	1,110 with medium Coke	No single universal figure used here	Use the app nutrition total for the chosen beverage
Price	$10.69–$11.29 reference	Local upgrade price	Compare before checkout

Large-meal search tip: first open the standard medium meal, then select the size upgrade. Do not use a large delivery price as the answer for a medium pickup-price query.

Standard vs Double, Deluxe and Bacon Quarter Pounder Meals

Feature	Standard QPC	Double QPC	Deluxe QPC	Bacon QPC
Fresh-beef patties	One	Two	One	One
Pre-cook beef weight	4 oz	8 oz total	4 oz	4 oz
Cheese	Two slices	Two slices	Two slices	Two slices

Reference meal price	$10.69–$11.29	$12.49	$13.99	$11.19
Best choice when	You want balance	You want more beef	You want vegetables and mayo	You want bacon

Is the Double Quarter Pounder Meal worth it?

The Double adds one complete four-ounce patty before cooking and raises the burger from 520 to 740 calories. Compare the local Double upgrade against the cost of adding a separate patty or buying another sandwich.

Is the Deluxe Quarter Pounder Meal lighter?

Not automatically. Lettuce and tomato are added, but creamy mayonnaise raises the Deluxe burger to 630 calories—110 more than the standard Quarter Pounder With Cheese.

Is the Bacon Quarter Pounder Meal the same as adding bacon?

The listed Bacon QPC is a defined menu version with thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon. Compare its meal price with a customized standard Quarter Pounder before paying for an add-on.

What Is on a Quarter Pounder With Cheese?

Ingredient	Standard amount	Purpose	Customization note
Fresh beef patty	One 4 oz patty before cooking	Main beef portion	Double version uses two patties
American cheese	Two slices	Cheese and saltiness	Removing it may not reduce price
Slivered onions	Standard build	Sharp onion flavour	Removal does not eliminate shared-contact concerns
Pickles	Standard build	Tangy acidity	The pickle contains an artificial preservative
Ketchup	Standard build	Sweet tomato flavour	Can normally be removed
Mustard	Standard build	Tangy seasoning	Can normally be removed
Sesame seed bun	Top and bottom bun	Holds the sandwich	Relevant to wheat and sesame allergens

McDonald’s says the national QPC sandwich contains no artificial flavours, preservatives or added colours from artificial sources, except that the pickle contains an artificial preservative.

Quarter Pounder With Cheese Meal Calories

Quarter Pounder burger 520 Cal

Medium meal total 1,110 Cal

Medium sides and Coke difference 590 Cal

The 590-calorie difference represents the standard combination of medium Fries and medium Coca-Cola used on the official meal page. A zero-sugar drink, water, different fountain drink or larger size changes the calculation.

Order choice	Calories	Difference	Practical use
Quarter Pounder without cheese	420 burger	100 fewer than standard QPC	Lower-calorie burger customization
Quarter Pounder With Cheese	520 burger	Baseline	Standard choice
Standard medium meal	1,110	590 above burger	Full meal with medium Coke and Fries
Double QPC medium meal	1,330	220 above standard meal	More beef
Deluxe or Bacon medium meal	1,220	110 above standard meal	Extra toppings

Lower-calorie meal approach: keep the standard burger, choose a zero-sugar drink and decide whether you need the full Fries portion. Always use the app nutrition total for the final customized order.

Is the Quarter Pounder Meal a Value Meal?

Yes, McDonald’s lists it under Extra Value Meals. However, that does not mean it is part of the current nationally advertised $5 McValue Meal Deal.

Term	What it means	Quarter Pounder included?	Price treatment
Extra Value Meal	A regular burger, Fries and drink meal category	Yes	Local restaurant price
$5 McValue Meal Deal	Current promotional McChicken or McDouble bundle	No	Prices and participation vary; excludes delivery
Personalized app deal	An offer displayed in an individual account	Sometimes	Use only when visible in your app
Rewards redemption	Points exchanged for an eligible product	Burger may be eligible	The full meal is not automatically free

Common mistake: redeeming a free Quarter Pounder burger does not automatically include free Fries and a drink. Check every paid line in the bag.

Wheat and sesame

The standard burger uses a sesame seed bun. Review the current official formulation before ordering.

Equipment, utensils and preparation areas can be used for multiple products and allergens.

Question	Practical answer
Is the meal gluten-free?	McDonald’s USA does not promote its U.S. menu items as gluten-free.
Is it vegetarian or vegan?	No. It contains beef and cheese, and McDonald’s does not promote U.S. items as vegetarian or vegan.
Is it Halal or Kosher?	McDonald’s USA does not claim its U.S. menu satisfies these religious requirements.
Does removing cheese make it dairy-allergy safe?	No guarantee. Shared ingredients, equipment and preparation must still be considered.
Does removing pickles remove every preservative?	It removes the pickle identified as containing an artificial preservative, but does not change every ingredient or kitchen condition.

This section is not medical advice. Anyone with a serious allergy should review the current official ingredients for the exact restaurant product and seek appropriate medical guidance.
