Baconator price and the Baconator family
The Baconator price puts it near the top of the Wendy's burger menu — only the Big Bacon Classic Triple and the Dave's Triple cost more. Its smaller sibling, the Son of Baconator, uses two smaller patties with the same bacon, cheese, ketchup and mayo for $6.59. If you want bacon with lettuce and tomato, the Big Bacon Classic costs $6.99 with one patty, or $8.49 as a double — the closest match to the Baconator's beef at a similar price.
