$9.49, which is 50 cents more than the burger alone typically cost on its own.
Fifty cents. That is what the Wendy's Dave's Triple meal price of $9.49 adds to a burger whose own middle ties at $8.89 and $8.99 in published US listings, and no other burger meal in this section comes close on that measure. One Dave's Combo figure covers the whole line, so the biggest burger in it extracts the most. The meal carries no published calorie total.

If something goes wrong
Is the Dave's Triple combo the cheapest meal upgrade at Wendy's?
- Cause
- On recorded prices, yes. The $9.49 combo sits 50 to 60 cents above the tied middle for the burger alone, and every other burger meal in the section asks for more.
- Fix
- Take the combo whenever the Triple is the burger. The only way to lose is at a restaurant pricing the burger far below the recorded middle.
Why is the Dave's Triple meal the same price as the Single meal?
- Cause
- Wendy's lists one Dave's Combo at $9.49 covering the whole line, so the meal figure does not change with the burger inside it.
- Fix
- Order the Triple if the appetite is there. Moving up the line inside the combo costs nothing at the meal price.
How many calories are in a Dave's Triple meal?
- Cause
- No total is published for the meal. The burger is 1,100 on the company's count, and Wendy's prints no calorie figure for combos.
- Fix
- Add the side and the drink to the 1,100 yourself. Fries and soft drinks are published only as size ranges.
The Dave's Triple meal cost more than $9.49
- Cause
- Combo prices move with the restaurant. Most US locations are franchised, and the burger alone was recorded as high as $10.19 in August 2026.
- Fix
- Expect the meal to track the burger upward. The app returns both figures for a specific restaurant before the order goes in.
Fifty cents for fries and a drink, and why the sum is that small
Flat pricing produces strange results at the top of a range. One Dave's Combo figure of $9.49 is applied across the Single, the Double and the Triple, and the Triple is the dearest burger of the three at the counter. Recorded across published US listings in August 2026, its middle tied at $8.89 and $8.99. Subtract that from the combo and fifty cents is left for the fries and the drink.
What's in it
A Dave's Triple, a side and a drink. The burger is 1,100 calories on the company's own count, fourth-largest in the burger section. No calorie total is published for the meal, here or on any other combo in the section, so the side and the drink have to be added by hand from figures the company gives only as size ranges.
Is it worth it
Almost trivially. Fries on their own are listed from $1.19 to $3.39 by size, and soft drinks from $2.29 to $3.29, so the cheapest pair the company lists comes to about $3.48. Getting both for fifty cents is not a close decision. Even measured against the national listing of $7.99 for the burger rather than the recorded middle, the combo adds $1.50 for two items, which still beats buying either of them separately.
The comparison inside the line is worth seeing whole. On recorded middles the same $9.49 combo adds $2.70 to a Dave's Single, $1.80 or $1.50 to a Dave's Double and 50 or 60 cents here. Nothing about the sides changes across those three orders. What changes is the burger the flat rate is being measured against, and the Triple is simply the largest thing the fixed price will carry. Read the three figures together and the combo stops looking like a discount on sides and starts looking like a discount on beef.
Two cautions apply. Franchisees run most US restaurants and price their own boards, so a restaurant charging $5.49 for the burger, the low end of the recorded range, would make the same combo a four-dollar step instead of a fifty-cent one. And the combo figure itself was recorded once, from the company's national listing, rather than across a spread of restaurants. Check the app before assuming either number holds where you are. Fifty cents is a real figure and a fragile one, because it depends on a burger price that no franchisee is bound by.

Questions people ask
Is this page an official Wendy's price list?
No. HelpMeLogin has no affiliation with Wendy's and publishes independently. The $9.49 was checked on 20 August 2026 and the burger figures a day before that, both from the company's own ordering site.
Can this site tell me the price at my local Wendy's?
No. Franchised restaurants set their own combo prices, so a national figure describes the menu and not one address. The Wendy's app answers for a chosen restaurant.
How much does the Dave's Combo add to a Dave's Triple?
50 or 60 cents, measured against a tied middle of $8.89 and $8.99. Measured against the company's own $7.99 listing the step is $1.50.
What comes in a Dave's Triple meal?
The burger, a side and a drink, with sizes affecting the total. Fries are listed from $1.19 to $3.39 and soft drinks from $2.29 to $3.29 when bought separately.
Is it cheaper to buy the burger and sides separately?
No, on the figures above. The cheapest fries and drink the company lists come to about $3.48 together, against 50 cents inside the combo.
