Wendy's kids' meal prices
There are five meals on the US kids menu, and the main decides the kids meal price. The hamburger and cheeseburger meals are the cheapest; the 2-piece tenders meal costs about $1.60 more because the tenders are whole strips of chicken. The Kids' Hamburger is a single small patty with ketchup — no onions or pickles — made for picky eaters.

What is in each kids' meal
- Kids' Hamburger ($4.99): a small beef patty with ketchup on a bun.

Every kids meal adds a side — fries or Apple Bites — a drink and a toy, with a separate toddler toy for children under 3.
Sides and drinks
Apple Bites (35 calories) are the light side; kids' fries the classic one. For the drink, milk (90 calories) or Honest Kids Fruit Punch (35 calories) are lighter than a lemonade or soft drink. Many restaurants let you pick a Jr. Vanilla Frosty as the drink — on its own a Jr. Frosty costs $1.74.

Calories in a kids meal
Wendy's publishes calories for the mains: the Kids' Hamburger has 230 calories as a Jr. Hamburger-size patty, 4 nuggets 170, 2 tenders about 280. With Apple Bites and milk, a nuggets meal comes to about 295 calories; with fries and a soft drink it roughly doubles.
Kids' meals vs Biggie Bites
For an older child or a light adult appetite, Biggie Bites ($4.00) is worth comparing: two small items from a Jr. Cheeseburger, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, Crispy Chicken Sandwich, 4 nuggets, Jr. fries or a small soft drink. It costs less than a kids' meal, but there is no toy, milk or Apple Bites option.
