Burger King Menu Prices 2026: Whopper, $5 Your Way Meal & Combos

A standalone Whopper is priced around $7.49 on the national average in May 2026. The Whopper Meal (combo with medium fries + medium drink) runs about $11.49. A Whopper Jr. is $3.49 and uses the same recipe at a smaller size. Pricing varies widely — the Whopper hits $8.49–$9.29 in Manhattan and San Francisco, and sub-$7 in rural Midwest and Southern markets. Always confirm in the Burger King app for your specific store; app pricing usually undercuts the in-store board by $0.50–$2.

The $5 Your Way Meal launched in 2023 and remains active in 2026 as Burger King's direct answer to McDonald's $5 Meal Deal. You pick one entrée — Whopper Jr., Chicken Jr. (a smaller crispy chicken sandwich), or a Bacon Cheeseburger — and the meal adds 4-pc Chicken Nuggets, a small Classic Fries and a small fountain drink. The whole thing is $5.00 at participating restaurants (some California and Northeast stores run it at $6). It's the strongest per-dollar combo on the BK menu.

It depends on what you order. BK is more expensive at the signature tier — the Whopper at $7.49 is $1.50 above the Big Mac at $5.99, and the Whopper Meal at $11.49 matches the Big Mac EVM but with a flame-grilled-vs-griddle build. At the value tier the two are dead even: the $5 Your Way Meal vs. the $5 Meal Deal are direct competitors. At the very bottom of the menu, BK's Hamburger ($2.49) undercuts McDonald's Hamburger ($2.79) by $0.30, and the 4-pc Nuggets ($1.99) beats McDonald's 4-pc ($3.49) by $1.50. Net: BK wins on cheap nuggets and entry-tier burgers; McDonald's wins on cheap coffee, cheap cookies and signature-combo pricing.

Yes — and that's the whole point. Every BK beef patty, including every Whopper, is cooked on a flame-broiler conveyor that exposes the beef to an open propane flame, not the flat-top griddle that McDonald's, Wendy's and most other chains use. The flame-grilling is BK's longest-running brand differentiator: it dates to the original 1954 Miami restaurant and is reinforced on every menu board and ad. The effect: more visible char, more dripping fat (instead of seared crust), and a smokier finish. Some smaller items (Chicken Nuggets, Chicken Fries) are fried, not flame-grilled — the claim applies to beef and to plant-based Impossible patties.

Yes — Chicken Fries are back on the U.S. menu in 2026 at most stores, priced around $4.49 for the 9-piece. The product (long, breaded fry-cut chicken strips, served in a fry-style sleeve) launched 2005, was discontinued 2012, brought back permanently 2014 after a fan campaign, and has rotated through limited-time windows since. As of May 2026 they're listed as standard at the majority of U.S. Burger King restaurants, though regional availability cycles. Confirm at your local store via the BK app.

The Impossible Whopper — the plant-based Whopper using a flame-grilled Impossible Foods patty — is priced around $8.29 on the national average in May 2026, roughly $0.80 above the standard Whopper. It launched nationally August 2019 and was one of the most successful plant-based fast-food launches ever. The full Whopper build (lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, pickles, onion) is identical; for fully vegan, ask for it without mayo (the mayo contains egg). Cross-contact with beef on the broiler is possible.

The cheapest standalone items in 2026 are the BK Café Small Hot Coffee at $1.49 and the Soft-Serve Cone at $1.49. Among entrées: the 4-pc Chicken Nuggets at $1.99, the Small Hash Browns at $1.99, the Hamburger at $2.49, and the Cheeseburger at $2.79. The single best per-dollar value at any tier remains the $5 Your Way Meal — four items for $5 beats every standalone combination by ~$3–$4.

No. Most Burger King restaurants serve breakfast until 10:30 AM, after which the breakfast menu (Croissan'wich, French Toast Sticks, Hash Browns, BK Café drinks, breakfast Kids Meal) is replaced by the lunch/dinner menu. A small number of 24-hour stores serve breakfast in late-night windows, but no formal nationwide all-day breakfast program exists in 2026. Hours are franchisee-set — confirm at your local restaurant in the BK app.

The Whopper Meal — Whopper + medium Classic Fries + medium fountain drink — is priced around $11.49 on the national average in May 2026. Upsize options: Bacon King Meal $14.49, Double Whopper Meal ~$13.49, Triple Whopper Meal ~$15.49, Impossible Whopper Meal ~$12.29. Whopper Jr. Meal — for a smaller appetite — runs around $7.49. The BK app frequently offers the Whopper Meal at $8.99 or with a free Whopper add-on with the purchase of a second Whopper.

The BK app and Royal Perks rewards program consistently price below the in-store board. Recurring 2026 offers include: $5 Your Way Meal (in-app version of the value combo), 2 Whoppers for $7, 2 Original Chicken Sandwiches for $5, BOGO Whoppers, free small fries with $1 purchase, free Whopper with a $3 purchase (loyalty-tier reward), and a free Whopper birthday gift. Royal Perks earns 10 points per $1, redeemable for menu items (e.g. 600 points = free Whopper). If you visit Burger King even monthly, installing the app effectively cuts spend 20–35% over time.
