Wendy's Big Bacon Classic: Single, Double and Triple

Because the toppings are separate pieces, this burger is easy to adjust. Tell the cashier, or use the app and tap each ingredient.

• Hold the onion. Raw onion is the most common request to remove.
• Hold the pickle or mustard. Both are easy to drop if you want a milder bite.
• Hold the mayo. This cuts richness and a few calories.
• Add cheese. An extra slice is usually possible, sometimes for a small charge.
• Add a patty. You can ask for more beef, or simply choose the double or triple.
• Ask for extra bacon. Many restaurants will add it for a fee that varies by location.
• Skip the bun. Ask for a lettuce wrap for a lower-carb meal.

Each change shifts the flavor. Without onion the burger is smoother. Without mustard it leans sweeter, since ketchup takes over the tang. Without mayo it feels drier but lets the bacon stand out. Adding a patty or choosing the double makes the beef louder than the toppings, which is a fair trade if beef is what you came for.

Fees depend on the restaurant, and the app displays the exact add-on price before you confirm. No fixed price is listed here, since it changes from place to place.

These three are the main burgers people compare. Here is how they differ on the points that matter. Prices are delivery app "from" prices.

The Wendys Big Bacon Classic is the balanced choice here. It is cheaper than the double options and it is the only one with both bacon and fresh toppings in a single-patty size.

Who each burger suits is worth spelling out. The single is the sensible lunch pick for a regular appetite. The double is for someone who skips a side or arrives hungry. The triple is a stunt-sized order that most people share or finish over a long meal.

Choose the single when you want bacon without a huge meal. Choose the Baconator when bacon and beef are the point. Choose the Dave's Double when you want a bigger classic burger and do not need bacon.

Wendys Baconator and the Big Bacon Classic: Toppings Difference

The Baconator has no lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion or mustard. It relies on ketchup and mayo and a lot of bacon. The Big Bacon Classic has all of those toppings, so it tastes fresher and a little sharper.

If you dislike vegetables on a burger, the Baconator is the better fit. If you like a crisp, layered bite, stay with the Big Bacon Classic.

Dave's Double or the Double With Bacon

Both sit at a half-pound of beef. The wendys daves double has no bacon, while the bacon double adds Applewood bacon and costs a bit more at $10.61+ against $9.36+.

Choose the Dave's Double if you want the cleaner beef-and-cheese taste. Choose the bacon version if smoke and salt are what you crave.

The Wendys Big Bacon Classic is a heavy burger, but the single is lighter than most double-patty options. Third-party nutrition sites list the single at about 630 calories, with roughly 38 grams of fat, 34 grams of protein and 1,230 milligrams of sodium. The double is listed at about 870 calories, with roughly 56 grams of fat and 53 grams of protein.

No reliable figure for the triple turned up in our checks. Treat these numbers as estimates and use the official in-app nutrition tool for exact values, which also lets you remove toppings and see the change.

Allergens match the usual Wendy's burger pattern. The listed ones are egg, milk, soy and wheat (gluten). The mayo and ketchup contain egg, the cheese contains milk and the bun contains wheat. Sesame may be present in some buns, so check if that matters to you. The restaurant also notes that cross contact is possible.

If you want to lighten the burger, the easiest changes are to hold the mayo, skip the cheese slice or pick the single over the double. A lettuce wrap instead of the bun removes most of the bread's carbs.

The burger contains beef and bacon, so it is not vegetarian or vegan. For lower-carb ideas, see the low-carb and keto Wendy's choices page, and for full numbers across the menu, use the Wendy's nutrition and calories guide.

The Wendys Big Bacon Classic is a revival rather than a new idea. A bacon burger by that name first appeared in the early 1990s, then left the menu, and Wendy's brought the name back in 2020 with Applewood smoked bacon and an upgraded build.

Between those dates the chain sold bacon burgers under other names, so older reviews may describe a slightly different sandwich. A bacon count or topping mentioned in a ten-year-old article may not match what is on the menu today.

The 2020 version is the one this page describes. It matters because bacon burgers are crowded territory: the Baconator, the Bacon Double Stack and the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger all compete for the same order, and each has a different price and size. The Big Bacon Classic fills the gap for people who want bacon plus a classic set of toppings in a mid-priced burger. It is built around fresh beef, Applewood smoked bacon and a full set of toppings, which fits the way Wendy's markets its burgers overall.

Menus change, and local restaurants can stop selling a sandwich without notice. If it matters to you, check the app for your nearest location. Nothing on this page promises that it will always be listed.

One more tip for ordering: look at the item name carefully. The single, the double, the triple and the combo sit close together in the app, and a quick tap can land you on the wrong size. Confirm the size and the total on the final review screen before you pay. Prices on delivery apps also include service charges that do not appear in the restaurant, so compare the cart total, not just the item price, when you decide between pickup and delivery.
