Baconator Combo
The Baconator Combo is Wendy’s ultimate bacon-loaded burger, stacking two fresh, never-frozen beef patties with six strips of crispy Applewood smoked bacon and melted American cheese, finished with ketchup and mayo on a warm, toasted premium bun. Unlike Dave’s Combo, the Baconator skips the vegetables entirely, keeping it purely meat, cheese, and bacon. The combo comes with fries and a drink for a complete meal.

Baconator vs. Dave's Combo: Which Should You Get?
The core difference comes down to toppings and portion: Dave’s Combo uses a single patty with fresh vegetables and classic condiments, while the Baconator doubles the beef, adds six strips of bacon, and skips the produce entirely. If you want a lighter, classic cheeseburger, Dave’s Combo is the better fit if you want a heavier, meat-forward burger, the Baconator delivers significantly more protein and bacon in every bite. For the full breakdown of the lighter option, see our Dave’s Combo guide.
