Dave's Single, Double and Triple prices
The Dave's Single price is the reference point of the Wendy's menu: the burger is named after founder Dave Thomas and has the toppings every other Wendy's hamburger is measured against. Each extra quarter-pound patty adds roughly a dollar and a half to the price. The Double gives 50 g of protein for $7.49, against 31 g for $6.29, which makes it the better buy per gram.
Dave's Single price vs Double and Triple
| Menu item | In restaurant | Restaurant range | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|

| Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe | $2.99 | $2.49 – $3.89 | 330 |
The Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe ($2.99) is the closest small version, with the same toppings on a Jr. patty. All burgers: Wendy's burgers.
The $7.99 Dave's Single Combo
On October 19, 2026 Wendy's launched the Dave's Single Combo at $7.99 for a limited time: the burger, small fries and a small soft drink. Normally a combo price follows each restaurant's burger price, but this price is fixed nationally — the price was identical at all 25 restaurants in our check, from Atlanta to Los Angeles. Bought separately, the same three items cost $11.77 at typical prices.
Meal vs. ordering separately
| Meal | Meal price | Main + side + drink bought separately | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dave's Single Combo | $7.99 | $11.77 | $3.78 (32%) |
| Dave's Double Combo | $11.29 | $12.97 | $1.68 (13%) |
Because the combo is flat-priced, it saves the most where the burger itself is expensive. In San Francisco, CA, where the Dave's Single alone was $7.69, the combo costs barely more than the burger. Other fixed-price options: Wendy's deals and Biggie Bag.
