The world's most famous burgers, fries and breakfasts at prices everyone knows.
Please note: prices vary by location and may change without notice. Nutrition values are estimates based on standard recipes — actual values can differ. Always confirm with the restaurant before ordering.
McDonald's is the largest fast food chain on the planet, and its menu is the yardstick the entire industry is measured against. The core lineup is built around icons that have barely changed in decades: the Big Mac with its two beef patties and special sauce, the Quarter Pounder with Cheese made from beef cooked fresh when you order, and Chicken McNuggets with a long roster of dipping sauces. Breakfast is a second pillar of the business, with the Egg McMuffin, Sausage McGriddles and crispy hash browns drawing the morning crowd at most locations until mid-morning. World Famous Fries remain the signature side in three sizes, while the McCafe drink menu covers coffees, iced beverages and shakes. For budget-minded eaters, the McValue lineup and rotating app-only deals keep a full meal within a few dollars, and Extra Value Meals bundle a sandwich with fries and a drink at a lower combined price. This menu guide lists popular McDonald's items with estimated United States prices and nutrition facts so you can plan both your order and your budget before you reach the counter or the drive-thru window. Because most McDonald's restaurants are independently franchised, prices move up or down with the city, the state and even the neighborhood, so treat every figure here as a planning estimate.

A Big Mac sandwich typically costs between 5.50 and 7.50 dollars depending on the location, while a Big Mac Extra Value Meal with medium fries and a drink usually runs between 10 and 12.50 dollars. Prices are set by individual franchises, so big cities tend to be higher.
The lowest-priced items are usually the Hamburger at around 2.49, the Cheeseburger at around 2.99, the McChicken at around 3.10 and a 4-piece McNuggets at around 3.19. The McValue menu and app-only deals regularly offer buy-one-add-one-for-a-dollar promotions that bring the per-item cost even lower.
Lighter picks include the Hamburger at 250 calories, the Egg McMuffin at 310 calories, a 6-piece McNuggets at 250 calories, and apple slices instead of fries. Skipping cheese, bacon, mayo-based sauces and sugary drinks makes the biggest difference to any order.
No. Most locations stop serving breakfast at 10:30 in the morning on weekdays and around 11:00 on weekends, then switch to the lunch menu. A small number of locations have different hours, so check with your local restaurant if you are craving an Egg McMuffin in the afternoon.
The McValue platform includes buy-one-add-one-for-one-dollar deals on select breakfast and lunch items, and Extra Value Meals bundle a sandwich with fries and a drink at a discount. The mobile app adds exclusive coupons, free items with purchase, and a rewards program that earns points toward free food.
Yes. Popular customizations include no-salt fries made fresh, extra pickles or onions, swapping sauces, adding Mac sauce to any burger, and ordering any sandwich without cheese. The mobile app makes customizing easy with a full list of add and remove options at checkout.
