$5.59 and 780 calories, the heaviest single-patty burger on the Wendy's list.
One patty, 780 calories. The Wendy's Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger price is $5.59 on the company's own ordering site, and no other single-patty burger in the section comes close to that count: Dave's Single is 560 and the Big Bacon Classic 610. The bun and the sauce carry the difference. A meal was listed at $10.69, and only two price points were recorded for the burger itself.

If something goes wrong
How many calories are in a Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger?
- Cause
- Wendy's counts it at 780 on a single quarter-pound patty. Every other one-patty burger in the section sits below 620, and the two-patty Dave's Double only reaches 810.
- Fix
- Take the 780 as the company figure. For a lighter burger at a similar price, the Big Bacon Classic is 610 at $6.69.
Why is there no typical price for this burger?
- Cause
- Only two figures were logged in August 2026: the company's $5.59, and a $9.49 carried under a pretzel name Wendy's does not list. A middle needs more than two points, and one of these two is not this burger.
- Fix
- Budget from the $5.59 upward and check the app for a specific restaurant. The pretzel line is a limited-run range and is thinly covered.
Is the Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger always on the menu?
- Cause
- It belongs to a limited-run pretzel-bun line rather than to the permanent burger list, and the three builds in it come and go together.
- Fix
- Check the burger section of the app before setting out. When the line is off the menu, no substitute on the list carries a pretzel bun.
How much is the Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger meal?
- Cause
- The company listed the meal at $10.69 in August 2026, against $5.59 for the burger on its own.
- Fix
- Compare the $5.10 difference with fries and a drink priced separately, which the company lists at $1.19 to $3.39 and $2.29 to $3.29 by size.
What a pretzel bun and beer cheese add to one patty
Seven hundred and eighty calories on a single quarter-pound patty takes some doing. Dave's Single manages 560 on the same amount of beef. A Big Bacon Classic, with bacon and cheese on top of that patty, reaches 610. This burger clears both by a wide margin without adding a second patty, and the reason sits in the bun and the sauce rather than in the meat.
What's in it
A quarter-pound beef patty on a warm pretzel bun, with thick-cut applewood smoked bacon, muenster cheese, warm beer cheese sauce, crispy fried onions and smoky honey mustard. Every one of those beyond the patty is heavier than what the standard burgers carry. Bread, sauce and fried onion are where the count comes from. That is a different way of reaching a big number than the triples use, and the burger eats larger than its beef content suggests.
Is it worth it
On calories per dollar, comfortably. At $5.59 the burger undercuts the Big Bacon Classic by $1.10 and carries 170 more calories, and it undercuts Dave's Single by a wide margin on the company's own listing while carrying 220 more. Six burgers on the whole list cost less, and the heaviest of those stops at 420 calories. For anyone eating by volume, this is one of the strongest rows in the section, and for anyone counting calories it is one of the worst, which is the same fact stated twice. Pick a side.
Provenance is thinner here, and that is worth saying plainly. This is a limited-run line, and only two price figures were logged against it in August 2026: the $5.59 Wendy's displays nationally, and a $9.49 that a published list attaches to a differently named pretzel build Wendy's does not sell. That second figure props up the top of the range without describing this burger, so no typical price appears above. Anyone budgeting should treat the $5.59 as a floor and expect a franchised restaurant to sit somewhere above it.
The meal is the other figure on the page. Wendy's listed it at $10.69, which is $5.10 on top of the burger by itself, and that is a steeper step than any of the Dave's combos ask for. The same company page supplies the price and the calorie count together, which is worth noting on a brand where almost nothing else about the nutrition could be got at. Fat, sodium and protein sit behind a panel that renders after the page arrives, and it returned a placeholder every time, so those figures could not be read.

Questions people ask
Is this page an official Wendy's price list?
No. HelpMeLogin is independent and unconnected to Wendy's. The $5.59, the 780 calories and the $10.69 meal price were read from the company's own ordering site on 19 August 2026.
Can this site tell me the price at my local Wendy's?
No. Franchised restaurants set their own prices, so a national listing cannot answer for one address. The Wendy's app returns the figure for a chosen restaurant.
Why is a one-patty burger 780 calories?
The pretzel bun, the beer cheese sauce, the fried onions and the thick-cut bacon all count. Beef is a smaller share of the total here than it is on the Dave's line.
Is the Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger better value than the Big Bacon Classic?
On calories per dollar, yes: $5.59 for 780 against $6.69 for 610. On availability, no, because the pretzel line is a limited run and the Big Bacon Classic is permanent.
What is beer cheese sauce?
A warm cheese sauce used across the pretzel-bun line, served alongside muenster cheese rather than instead of it. It is one of the reasons the calorie count sits so far above the rest of the single-patty burgers.
