A hot buttermilk biscuit with a savory pork sausage patty, and a staple of the McValue Under $3 menu.
The Sausage Biscuit is about as simple as McDonald’s breakfast gets: a warm buttermilk biscuit split and filled with a seasoned pork sausage patty. There is no egg or cheese, which keeps the price low.
It is one of the two sandwiches you can choose in the $4 Breakfast Meal Deal, alongside the Sausage McMuffin, and it is a favorite in the South where biscuits are the default breakfast bread.
Sausage Biscuit Price (October 2026)
The Sausage Biscuit typically costs $2.49 at U.S. McDonald’s restaurants. Because most locations are run by franchisees who set their own prices, you can expect to pay anywhere from about $1.79 to $4.79. Airports, highway rest stops and big cities are usually at the top of that range, and delivery apps add a further markup.
