CalculationBig Mac® Medium meal $11.77 − sandwich $7.45 = +$4.32McDouble® Medium meal $8.04 − sandwich $4.44 = +$3.60McChicken® Medium meal $8.99 − sandwich $3.84 = +$5.15

Across these seven entrées the Medium premium ranged from +$3.60 to +$5.15.

Limitation

Each average comes from whichever sampled locations listed that item, and the sandwich and meal averages may not cover the same restaurants. The differences are indicative, not a price any single restaurant charges. Delivery prices also exclude DoorDash fees, tips and tax.

Editorial note

Five of the seven premiums sit between +$4.32 and +$4.84. The McDouble® is the low outlier and the McChicken® the high one, so the cheapest sandwiches do not always carry the cheapest upgrade. To check whether a meal beats buying fries and a drink separately, use the combo meal page, which defines the meal components and runs that comparison.

Ordering context

Why a lunch menu can look different from one restaurant, time of day or app to the next.

  • Breakfast versions are not lunch items

    Listings such as the McChicken® Biscuit, Hot 'N Spicy McChicken® McGriddles® and Chicken McMuffin® belong to the breakfast menu and are covered on the McChicken page. Whether a restaurant serves them after the breakfast cutover is a local decision.

  • Lunch start times vary

    We do not publish a single lunch start time, because restaurants set their own hours. The restaurant, drive-thru and lunch-service guide explains how to check a specific location.

  • Delivery menus show local items

    DoorDash menus come from individual restaurants, so the sample includes listings seen at only a few locations: Denali Mac, McTeri® Deluxe, Green Chile Double Cheese, Spam® Rice & Egg and team-branded packs. We flag these as regional and keep them out of the ranges above.

  • Duplicate and odd listings

    Some items appear under two names or at unexpected prices. One example is a separate '40 Piece Spicy Chicken McNuggets®' listing at $22.40 alongside the 40 pc. Spicy at $18.26. These are explained on the McNuggets page instead of being averaged together.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest lunch entrée in the data?

The Hamburger, at an average of $3.04 across sampled DoorDash delivery menus (Aug 19–Sep 29, 2026). The cheapest nugget listing, the 4 pc. Spicy Chicken McNuggets® at $3.59, is the next lowest. Your restaurant's in-store price may be lower or higher.

How much more is a meal than the sandwich?

For a Medium meal, between +$3.60 (McDouble®) and +$5.15 (McChicken®) among the entrées we calculated. A Big Mac® Medium meal averaged $4.32 more than the sandwich. See the premium table.

Are these the prices I will pay at the counter?

Not necessarily. They are averages of delivery-menu listings, which often run higher than in-store prices, and they exclude delivery fees, tips and tax. The delivery vs in-store guide explains the difference and how to check a local price.

When does McDonald's start serving lunch?

It depends on the restaurant. The hours guide covers lunch service, and the separate breakfast-hours guide covers when breakfast ends.

Why are calories not shown here?

We show calories only when they are recorded from official U.S. McDonald's product pages with a check date. Where a figure has not been recorded, the table says Not verified rather than estimating. The nutrition explorer lists every recorded figure.
