A breakfast platter with a warm biscuit, scrambled eggs, a hot sausage patty and crispy hash browns.
The Big Breakfast is McDonald’s sit-down style breakfast platter. Instead of a sandwich you get scrambled eggs, a pork sausage patty, a buttermilk biscuit and a hash brown on one plate, which is ideal if you want to eat with a fork.
At 760 calories it is a full meal on its own, and because the hash browns are included you do not need to order a side.
Big Breakfast Price (October 2026)
The Big Breakfast typically costs $5.99 at U.S. McDonald's restaurants.
