$9.49 for the combo, $1.80 or $1.50 over a tied middle of $7.69 and $7.99.
The combo price holds still while the burger under it moves. The Wendy's Dave's Double meal price is $9.49 nationally, and the burger by itself was recorded between $4.69 and $8.53 across published US listings. Set beside a tied middle of $7.69 and $7.99, the fries and the drink cost $1.80 or $1.50. Measured from the company's own $6.79 listing they cost $2.70 instead. Both sums are honest, and neither holds everywhere.

If something goes wrong
Is the Dave's Double combo worth $9.49?
- Cause
- It depends entirely on what the restaurant charges for the burger. Against a tied middle of $7.69 or $7.99 the sides come to $1.80 or $1.50; against the low end of $4.69 they come to $4.80.
- Fix
- Check the burger price in the app first, then subtract it from the combo price. Below about $2.50 of difference the combo is worth taking.
How many calories are in a Dave's Double meal?
- Cause
- No total is published. Wendy's gives the burger 810 calories and prints no calorie figure for any combo in the burger section.
- Fix
- Start from the 810 and add whatever the chosen side and drink carry. Fries and Frosty sizes are published as ranges, not single values.
Does the Dave's Combo cost more for a Double than a Single?
- Cause
- No. One combo price of $9.49 covers the Single, the Double and the Triple on the company's own listing.
- Fix
- Choose the burger on appetite. Moving up the line inside the combo costs nothing at the meal price.
The Dave's Double meal rang up higher than $9.49
- Cause
- Most US restaurants are franchised and set their own prices, and combo figures move with the burger underneath them.
- Fix
- Expect the meal to sit above $9.49 wherever the burger sits above $6.79. The app gives both numbers for a chosen restaurant.
A fixed combo price on top of a burger that moves four dollars
Nine forty-nine is fixed. What sits underneath it is not. Wendy's puts one Dave's Combo price on its national listing, while the burger inside was recorded anywhere between $4.69 and $8.53 across published US listings during August 2026. The combo therefore buys a different amount of value depending on where it is ordered, and the difference is large enough to change the answer completely.
What's in it
A Dave's Double, a side and a drink. The burger carries 810 calories on the company's own count; the meal carries no published figure at all, because Wendy's does not print calorie totals for combos. Fries are listed separately from $1.19 to $3.39 by size and soft drinks from $2.29 to $3.29, which is the closest thing to a parts price the company offers.
Is it worth it
Run the arithmetic three ways and it comes out differently each time. Against a tied middle of $7.69 or $7.99, the combo adds $1.80 or $1.50 for two items, which no à la carte pairing on the menu can match. Measured from the company's national $6.79 it adds $2.70, still respectable. At a restaurant charging $8.53 for the burger, the top of the recorded range, the combo would add 96 cents and the decision makes itself.
The reverse case matters too. At a restaurant charging $4.69 for the burger, the low end of the same range, $9.49 for the meal means paying $4.80 for fries and a drink, which is worse than buying both separately at any size the company lists. Nothing about the combo changes; the burger price underneath it does all the work.
This is why the app is worth thirty seconds before ordering. Franchisees run most Wendy's restaurants in the United States and price their own boards, and the combo figure quoted nationally is the starting point rather than a commitment. Within the Dave's line the same $9.49 covers the Dave's Single and the Dave's Triple as well, so the burger choice is free at the meal level even when the meal price itself has moved. No calorie total is published for any of the three, which leaves the burger count doing all the work on that side of the decision as well. The company stops at the sandwich, and so does this page, because a total assembled from guesses would be worse than none at all.

Questions people ask
Is this page an official Wendy's price list?
No. HelpMeLogin is an independent guide with no affiliation to Wendy's. The $9.49 was checked on 20 August 2026 and the burger figures beside it were read from the company's own site a day earlier.
Can this site tell me the price at my local Wendy's?
No. Franchisees price their own boards at most US restaurants, so a national combo figure cannot speak for one address. The app answers for a chosen location.
How much do fries and a drink add to a Dave's Double?
$1.80 or $1.50, measured against a tied middle of $7.69 and $7.99 in published US listings. Measured against the company's $6.79 listing the answer is $2.70.
What comes in the Dave's Double meal?
The burger, a side and a drink. Size choices move the total, which is why Wendy's publishes fries and soft drinks as price ranges.
Is the Dave's Double meal better value than the Baconator meal?
On the listed figures, yes: $9.49 against $11.79. The Baconator carries 890 calories to the Double's 810, so the extra $2.30 buys 80 calories and a different burger.
