If 2026 had a theme for the restaurant industry, it’d be ‘race to the bottom,’ like in a good way. Popeyes dusted off its $5 menu, Chick-fil-A rolled out its 80th anniversary sweepstakes with chances to win free food for a year, and Denny’s decided to drop 10 whole meals at $5.99 each.
Essentially, fast food chains are scrambling to prove that they are still affordable. And now Wendy’s is throwing its hat in the ring with a new version of its Biggie Deals menu, breaking it into three price levels instead of one.
The updated menu starts at $4 and now includes options at $6 and $8. Wendy’s says the new setup is meant to give customers more ways to order without moving into regular combo meals.
What Each Tier Gets You
At $4, the Biggie Bites option lets customers choose two items in total. The choices include a crispy chicken sandwich, a junior cheeseburger, a junior bacon cheeseburger, four-piece nuggets, junior fries, or a small soft drink.
The $6 Biggie Bag keeps the familiar format Wendy’s has used for years, previously offered at both $5 and $6 price points depending on sandwich selection. It comes with one sandwich, four-piece nuggets, junior fries, and a small drink. Sandwich choices include the crispy chicken sandwich, junior cheeseburger, junior bacon cheeseburger, or a Double Stack.
The $8 Biggie Bundle is the other new tier. Instead of sides, it adds another sandwich. The bundle includes two sandwiches, junior fries, and a small soft drink.
Wendy’s says the Biggie Deals menu is now available at restaurants nationwide. Prices and participation may vary by location. It’s also worth noting that the deals are not valid for combo meals or third-party delivery.
