Wendy’s breakfast menu and hours

Breakfast is its own menu at Wendy’s: croissants, biscuits, English muffin sandwiches, the Breakfast Baconator, burritos, Seasoned Potatoes and cold brew. It runs only in the morning, so check the time before you go. The Wendy’s breakfast menu with prices has every item, combo and calorie count.

Want the full Wendy’s menu with prices and pictures in one place? Every item card above and in the sections below carries a typical US price and a photo. There is no more $1 board, but the 4 for $4 and Biggie Bag meal deals are the closest thing to today’s dollar menu or value menu.

Breakfast gives way to the lunch menu and the time it starts in most US stores. If you are checking macros, our calorie and nutrition menu and gluten-free menu guide cover every item we track.

What time does Wendy’s open and close?

Every item we track, grouped by section. Open a card for the usual build, allergen notes, and when it is served. Prices are typical US estimates because each franchise sets its own, so treat them as a range and pay in the app.

Wendy’s gluten-free menu and allergen notes

Wendy’s does not run a certified gluten-free kitchen, but several items are commonly ordered gluten-free, including the chili, plain baked potato, most salads without croutons or taco shell strips, and the Frosty. Fries are cooked in a shared fryer with breaded chicken, so cross-contact is possible even when an ingredient list looks clean.

On the US menu, Wendy’s labels the FDA’s major allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybean, and sesame. For the full, current ingredient-level chart, use Wendy’s official Nutrition & Food Allergens page, or save our Wendy’s menu with prices PDF for item-by-item prices alongside it. Our own gluten-free menu guide and allergen guide break the picks down by category.

Always tell the crew about a medically required diet. Shared equipment means Wendy’s cannot guarantee any item is 100% gluten-free.

How to order Wendy’s online

You can order Wendy’s online in a few ways, depending on whether you want pickup, delivery, or rewards:

  • Wendy’s app: browse the live menu for your selected restaurant, redeem Wendy’s Rewards points, and pick pickup or delivery.
  • wendys.com: order ahead for pickup or delivery from the official site without installing the app.
  • Third-party delivery: DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub all carry most US Wendy’s locations, usually with a delivery fee on top of menu prices.
  • Drive-thru and self-order kiosks: many locations also offer in-store kiosks and drive-thru, including AI-assisted drive-thru ordering at select restaurants.

Prices and available items differ by platform and by store, so confirm your total before checkout. See our coupons and promo code deals for current app offers.

Food quality and ingredients at Wendy’s

Wendy’s has marketed fresh, never-frozen beef in its hamburgers at US and Canadian restaurants since it opened, using a square patty that is cooked to order rather than pre-formed to match a round bun. Breakfast and some limited-time items can still use frozen proteins.

Produce such as lettuce and tomatoes is sourced for in-restaurant prep, salads use packaged, pre-washed greens, and the Frosty is a soft-serve dairy dessert rather than ice cream. Chili is made using the same beef as the hamburger line, which is why it is one of the more commonly gluten-free-friendly items on the board.

Exact sourcing and suppliers can change by region and over time. For ingredient statements on a specific item, use Wendy’s official nutrition and allergen chart linked above rather than this summary.

How many Wendy’s restaurants are in the US?

Wendy’s operates roughly 5,900 to 6,000 restaurants across the United States, most of them run by independent franchisees rather than the company itself. Florida, Texas, and Ohio consistently report the largest store counts.

Approximate Wendy’s locations by state (company and third-party reporting, subject to change)

Florida~512
Texas~465

North Carolina~265
Michigan~212

Wendy’s has also announced plans to close several hundred underperforming US locations through 2026, so exact counts shift through the year. Use the official Wendy’s restaurant locator for a current store near you.

Why the price you pay can differ

Wendy’s restaurants are mostly franchised, so the owner of your store sets the board price. The same Dave’s Single can cost a dollar more two exits down the highway.

The numbers here come from published US menu listings, not from your local register. Plan the order with them, then confirm the total in the app with your store selected.

A short history of the Wendy’s brand

Wendy's was founded in 1969 by Dave Thomas in Columbus, Ohio, and named after his daughter Melinda Lou, nicknamed “Wendy.” The chain is now headquartered in Dublin, Ohio (founded Columbus, Ohio) and operated by The Wendy's Company.

From the start, Wendy’s built its menu around a square, never-frozen beef patty, fresh toppings, and the Frosty dessert, positioning itself against round-patty competitors. The Baconator, the 4 for $4 value bundle, and the Biggie Bag later became the chain’s best-known deals.

This page summarizes publicly known brand history for context. For store policies, rewards, and today’s official deals, use wendys.com or the Wendy’s app. Read more on our About Us page.
