Two 100% beef patties with a slice of cheese, pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard.
The McDouble is one of the best values at McDonald’s. It has two regular beef patties but only one slice of cheese, which is what separates it from the Double Cheeseburger and keeps it on the McValue Under $3 menu.
With 22 grams of protein for around three dollars, it is consistently one of the best protein-per-dollar items on the entire menu, and it is the base of the $6 McDouble Meal Deal.
McDouble Price (October 2026)
