$9.89 for the meal against $5.89 for the burger, so the sides cost exactly $4.00.
This is the tidiest sum in the section. The Wendy's Son of Baconator meal price is $9.89, and the burger inside it was listed at $5.89 and typically charged at $5.89 too, so the fries and the drink cost exactly four dollars whichever burger price is used. That agreement is rare on this menu. The burger carries 590 calories, and no calorie total is published for the meal.

If something goes wrong
How much is the Son of Baconator meal?
- Cause
- The company listed $9.89 when this page was checked on 20 August 2026, with the burger at $5.89 on its own.
- Fix
- Budget $9.89 and check the app for a specific restaurant. The burger alone was recorded as high as $7.55 in the same month.
Is the Son of Baconator combo worth $4.00 for the sides?
- Cause
- Bought separately, the cheapest fries and drink the company lists come to about $3.48 and the largest to about $6.68.
- Fix
- Skip the combo at the smallest sizes and take it at anything larger. The saving grows with the size of the drink.
How many calories are in a Son of Baconator meal?
- Cause
- No total is published. The burger is 590 on the company's own count, and calorie figures for combos are absent across the whole burger section.
- Fix
- Add the chosen side and drink to the 590 yourself, using the size ranges the company publishes for each.
Son of Baconator meal or Baconator meal?
- Cause
- The listed prices are $9.89 and $11.79, and the burgers inside them are 590 and 890 calories.
- Fix
- Take the smaller meal for value. The $1.90 difference buys 300 calories and a larger burger, nothing else.
Four dollars for the sides, with no argument about the arithmetic
Most combo pages have to hedge, because the burger has one price on the company's listing and a different one in a restaurant. Not this one. Wendy's shows $5.89 for the Son of Baconator, and the middle of everything recorded in published US listings in August 2026 came out at $5.89 as well. Subtract either from the $9.89 meal and the answer is four dollars flat.
What's in it
The burger, a side and a drink. The Son of Baconator is 590 calories on the company's count, built on two junior patties with bacon and cheese, and the meal carries no published calorie total because Wendy's prints none for any combo it lists.
Is it worth it
Four dollars is the number to test, and the company gives enough on its own menu to test it. Fries on their own are listed from $1.19 to $3.39 depending on size and soft drinks from $2.29 to $3.29, so the pair bought separately runs from about $3.48 up to $6.68. At the smallest sizes the combo loses by around fifty cents. At mid-size and above it wins comfortably, and at the top it saves nearly $2.70.
The reason the test is possible at all is that Wendy's publishes prices itself. Its ordering site carries a national figure and a calorie count for every burger, and it lists fries and drinks separately as well, which is enough to price a meal both ways without leaving the company's own pages. Few chains of this size make that possible.
That test is worth running on every meal in this section, because the premium varies wildly. A Dave's Combo adds fifty cents to a Dave's Triple. The Pretzel Bacon Pub Triple Cheeseburger meal adds $5.50 to its burger. Four dollars sits in the upper half of that spread, which makes this a fair combo rather than a generous one.
The wider caution still applies. Franchisees run most Wendy's restaurants in the United States and price their own boards, and the burger alone was recorded between $3.00 and $7.55 during the same month, so the four-dollar figure describes the national pair of listings rather than any particular till. For comparison, the full Baconator meal was listed at $11.79 with an 890-calorie burger inside it, which is $1.90 more for 300 more calories.

Questions people ask
Is this page an official Wendy's price list?
No. HelpMeLogin is independent and unconnected to Wendy's. The $9.89 was checked on 20 August 2026 and the $5.89 burger listing was read from the company's own site the day before.
Can this site tell me the price at my local Wendy's?
No. Franchisees set their own prices at most US restaurants, so a national combo figure describes the menu and not one address.
What comes in a Son of Baconator meal?
The burger, a side and a drink, with sizes changing the total. The 590-calorie count covers the sandwich only.
Why is the sides figure exactly $4.00?
Because the burger's listed price and its typical recorded price are both $5.89, which is unusual on this menu. Subtracting either from $9.89 gives the same answer.
Is the Son of Baconator meal cheaper than the Dave's Combo?
No. The Dave's Combo was listed at $9.49, forty cents below this meal, and it covers three larger burgers.
