And that’s not okay

Typical of McDonald's to forget something.

Finally someone reviews all 3 at the same time. I don't know why other reviewers would leave out Wendys.

I had the McDonald’s $5 meal. it’s shocking how little food there was.

Always take the survey on your McDonald’s receipt for a free egg McMuffin or quarter pounder.

Wendy's deal is the best in that Wendy's allow customers to swap out the fries with another side (I do chili). Also, my Wendy's still offer a $4 meal with the Jr Cheeseburger ( aka 444). Today in app, free chili at Wendy's with any purchase.

The crumbling sounds from the brown paper bags are satisfying

the meat is supplemented with paper bags too so

We don't eat out,but think we would pick Wendy's, also.

Thank you for displaying each value meal. I do miss the "old" McDonalds, when menu items were sufficiently sized and tasty. I haven't been to either of the 3 restaurants in over 3 years. I gradually lost interest as prices rose and portion size and quality slid.

the thing that bugs me about the Burger King deal (besides the ridiculously small drink) is they won't let you swap the fries out for onion rings without upcharging even though they cost the same on the menu.

Got to open the burgers and nuggets to see the size to be able to do a true comparison. You could even weigh them. That will tell you better information.

This is like an "art show" and a "magicians stunt". Nothing opened, nothing revealed and nothing weighed. Watch him pull a rabbit outs his ,,,, 😮

Steve’s version of getting lucky is a supersize drink.

The best is always Wendy’s at one time mc Donald’s was good but now nothing is the same McDonalds

The cost of drinks is ridiculous! I wish McDonald's would sell their sweet tea for a dollar again.

I went to MDs and I got lg drink as well. They asked what sz . I said the one that comes with the deal and they said we upgrade the drink no extra charge

We got the same size drink at McDonald's today.

I Prefer Wendy's also. And if you are a Sr. you get a free 12oz drink. But you do need to ask. So you can get some extra drink. And I think that starts a age 55 yrs.👍🏼

All 3 bad.

Tried McDonald's last night, and with out my consent, they upgraded my drink to a medium, and charged an additional .79¢. I think most people just pay the total with our doing the math, to see if there are being charged correctly, I'll stick with the biggie bag Wendy's never frozen fresh meat.

Wendys has about 8 choices of sandwhiches, spicey or regular nuggets, and you can get a small frosty for a drink. By far, the best selection.

My experience with several trips to Wendy's is that when you eat in, the drink is bottomless. You get a medium glass and the rest is self-serve. I've never been challenged for my refills. You also get four choices of dipping sauce (when asked, they have always given me extra) and unlimited ketchup. Methinks that quality is higher also

Wendys

It would be good if the calories per meal was included so you could tell which meal gave you the most fuel if you are on a tight budget.

It use to be 3.99 just cause they added a soda they raised the price ridiculous

Imagine that, McD's forgot to give you the sauce for your nuggets. I'm sure that's a first.

Dependent on store, for 2$ more you can get a Large version of the biggie bag, which upsizes the drink and fries. I usually get it with a double stack, spicy nuggets, and use the frosty season pass.

Good evening and happy Tuesday thanks for sharing

Appreciate you doing this review for those of us on a tight budget!

The Wendy's bag is twice as big as the crappy-D bag

Ordered the $5 biggie bag at a Texas Wendy’s about 2 months ago and was told by the restaurant mgr it is $6. As for McDonald’s forgetting your condiments, they do it on purpose to reduce costs.

At BK, you can substitute onion rings on request

Here's my take from a junk food junkie... McDonald's size drink; Burger King french fries and Whooper Jr.; Wendy's nuggets. And as a CEO said recently, if it weren't for having all of the chain's franchisees agree with the $5 cost long term, then this wouldn't be a 'limited time only' deal this summer. So we'll see the impact, if it starts luring back customers, then it might actually be there for a longer period of time.

My husband and I actually had the Burger King $5.00 meal. The fries were perfectly prepared. The nuggets were good(bit too salty for me.) and the Cheeseburger was very good. Actually tasted freshly made and looked appealing to eat. Hadn't eaten at Burger King in a long time. Was pleasantly surprised. We also enjoy Wendy's when we eat there.

Mcdonald had the $6 meal deal right before they came out with the $5 meal deal. The $6 was a mcdouble cheese burger w med fries and med drink. The $5 is suppose to be w small drink and small fries. Mcdonald recently has become really strick with giving out sauces. You can now only get them with the nuggets only. 1 package for 4 or 6 nuggets and 2 for larger nugget. How much does it cost them to make the sauce packets. Not too long ago I had gone thru their drive thru and my bill was well over $20. They refused to give me any sauce packets because I had not ordered nuggets. Great PR!!! Bk has changed the size of their whoopers and JR whooper. They are smaller than they use to be. Wendy's last summer had a special you got the Daves classic cheesburger with fries and the strawberry lemonade. I can't remember if it was $5 or $6.

McDonalds: No honey for you !!!

So interesting. I love the comparison. We learn the facts & you get the food!! I hope you like burgers😅 Thanks Steve!!

During the summer all size drinks are a $1.00 at McDonald's.

Thanks for the review

Great review. Thanks.

The packaging cost more than the food. They buy their meat from dairy farms, whose cows stop producing milk. It's old beef cows. \

Thanks for the comparison 👍

Wendy’s still has the 4 for 4. It’s a Jr. cheeseburger biggie bag. The only difference is the size of the drink is a value size.

Mmm, I will be trying this, thank you !

you didn't unwrap the sandwiches so we could see the size and look!

thank you for the comparison

coke subsidized the deal so maybe why large drink. Wendys had the 4 for 4 for a decade so 25% increase over 10 years not too bad.

I like the Wendy's biggie bag. In Texas you get a fully dressed double cheese burger, better tasting nuggs, spicy, fries and a drink.

It could be 50 cents and I’ll still pass

If you use the app you'll also get a free item with your biggie bag. Last week I got a free Dave's single when I bought the five dollar biggie bag. Wendy's is definitely the best out of the three and they've been doing this for a long time so I'm going to remain loyal to Wendy's

Wendy's has always had their biggie bags... They didn't have to backtrack... Not to mention they also have a $3 breakfast meal deal...

For $5 they all look amazing 🤩

Where I live Arby's has been doing the 4 classic roast beef sandwiches for $10 since at least October 2022. I'm not sure if it's coming down from corporate or not and that's why I didn't say where I live. I've been buying 20 a month since October 2022.

I haven’t dined at a McDonalds in over 20 years. I see I haven’t missed anything.

Whataburger offers free coffee or drink for seniors. 👍🎉

I agree with you, I prefer Wendy's too,

The McDonald's meal with the mcdouble is $6.00

The 100 $ bill is the new 20

This is all of the crap that used to be on the $1 menu.

and don't forget free refills on the drink if you dine-in so size is irrelevant

All mc Donald's fountain drinks tea and lemonade cost the same small med and large 👍👍

2:00 Wendys still has the 4 for 4 deal but its only with the jr cheeseburger.

McDonald's food has gotten terrible

Yeah I got the burher king one and couldn’t believe the drink size. No thanks.

For about a dollar more, you can get cheese sauce for your fries or nuggets!

YES, MCDONALDS IS A SMALL DRINK

I wish you would have compared the burger and show the inside of nuggets. I was waiting for that. But thank you so much

Chick fila gives a free breakfast on Tuesday mornings but you must ask for it! They wont offer it to you. I think Wendys is 1, McDonalds is 2 and BK is 3.

Oh dear lord i want my $5.00 footlong!!!! 😫😫😫😫

Be careful what you wish for. If they were nice to you, they would have given you water.

Maybe you guys should consider eating a salad?

I feel Wendy's is the better deal also and my grandbabies love there kids meals. I agree with you.

They're all pretty much equal to me. I think Wendy's nuggets taste better and at Wendy's you can substitute the drink for a small frosty but their burger is very small. At Burger King their drink is tiny but their whopper Jr is pretty good and has lettuce and tomatoes. So taking everything into account I think they are all pretty equal

If McDonald's offered the bacon mcdouble maybe, but the other two are more versatile and flexible.

@vshah1010

Sometimes the bacon mcdouble is with the 2 for $4. Then get another item separately.

Do they still have the dollar menu?

On the McDonalds app you can add on an extra chicken or meat patty.

Whoever throws in a cookie, I’ll go…

Wendy's I agree.

Steve, thanks for doing this comparison for us. It would be helpful to know which City & State you live in, because I've heard that McD charges $6 for the same in some States. Also, this so called '$5 Meal Deal' is only a limited-time situation.

Checkers/rally's is the best just go home and add a slice cheese on the burger u get 10 popcorn chicken and fries a drink and a burger

I'm in NV and some stores it's not available via the app.

McDonald's does give u a large drink.. It comes like that with the meal unless u want a smaller cup. That is the standard size 😊

I live in Sonora Ca. I went to McDonalds today...if you get the chicken sandwich it is 5.00, however I ordered the double cheeseburger and it was 6.00, and I was charged for dipping sauce! I won't go back. We now have a Wendys, I think I will go there instead.

Last time I was at Burger King = 2010, last time I was at Mcdonalds = 2015, last time I was at Wendys = 30+ years ago ..... eat HEALTHY at home & save money......

Mcdonalds, you only get a small kids drink Size. Lol they liked you, if the drink was a size bigger I would be a happy camper. Lol

Enjoy

Hey guys hope your doing well I like McDonald's but the only thing I get is a basket of fries and a large regular coffee it's $5.50 i cook at home anymore.. Steve from WV

have them give you a frosty then ask for FREE senior drink. More for money at wendys

I got the McDonald's meal yesterday and they do give you the big drink. I wouldn't go back they were packed and I don't even eat there.The burger and soda were good but I doubt I go back. I might one more time but never around lunch time again.

It’s supposed to just be a small drink. That’s what I got when I got the $5 meal.

Too much processed food, it makes my joints hurt , just looking at it. I haven’t eaten in a restaurant since New Year’s Day, a way to avoid pain, diabetes(which my older brother died from 10years ago at 57), clogged arteries and high blood pressure. Eating ketovore changed my weight losing, 45 pounds and PAIN GONE. Take good brand of vitamin supplements, because of osteoporosis.

Haven't eaten these in a while, man those burgers look tiny

Thanks for doing that, I guess they all followed the Dollar Tree’s example and upcharge by a quarter per item now, still only getting maybe $2 worth of food, but sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do, I rarely eat from those places, but in a pinch it is nice knowing you can get basically the amount of food in a kids meal for $5 those burgers are pretty pathetic, I’d go for the chicken/cellulose sandwich I guess. I’d love to hear your thoughts on which place had the best tasting nuggets and sandwiches.

Burger king in our town closed down, nearest Wendys is in the next town over on the far side from us so we would end up with McDonald's ...

McDonald’s burgers are smaller than they use to be

For the drinks that is the correct size as McDonald’s has the $1.29 soda any size as part of their value menu. McD’s all day long as their fries are superior although Wendy’s is a close 2nd. I do not like square burgers that is just not normal.

It's great that you told us they're all $5. But it would have been better had you shown the burgers. Then, there would have been something to compare to. But you didn't. So there wasn't.
