Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger Combo
If you’re after a rich, savory burger that goes beyond the usual lettuce-and-tomato setup, the Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger Combo is one of Wendy’s most indulgent picks. It pairs a juicy, fresh beef patty loaded with roasted mushrooms, Applewood smoked bacon, melted Muenster cheese, and a creamy garlic spread — then rounds it out with fries and a drink to make a full meal. Here’s the complete US breakdown before you order: price, what’s in the combo, full nutrition, how it tastes, and how to customize it.
| Price (USD) | $10.79 – $12.49 |
|---|
This is the combo price (burger + fries + drink). The burger on its own typically runs about $7.29–$8.69. Pricing is set by individual franchises and excludes tax, so it varies by location.
What Comes in the Combo?
The Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger Combo is a three-part meal:
- The burger — a square, fresh (never frozen) quarter-pound beef patty topped with roasted mushrooms, Applewood smoked bacon, melted Muenster cheese, and creamy garlic spread on a toasted sesame bun.
- A side — most commonly Wendy’s natural-cut fries, though you can usually swap for another side.
- A drink — your choice of fountain beverage.
It’s worth clearing up a common mix-up: the headline 670-calorie figure you’ll often see refers to the burger alone, not the full combo. Once you add fries and a drink, the total climbs considerably (see the breakdown below).
Combo Calorie Breakdown
Here’s a realistic look at the full combo, since the burger is only one part of the meal. Totals depend on which side and drink you pick.
| Combo Item | Approx. Calories |
|---|---|
| Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger (single) | 670 |
| Medium fries | ~420 |
| Medium drink | 0 – 280 |
| Combo total | ~1,090 – 1,370 |
Choosing water or a diet drink keeps the combo near the lower end, while a regular soda pushes it toward the higher end.
Burger Nutrition Facts
Here’s the full nutrition for the single Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger by itself.
| Nutrient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Calories | 670 |
| Total Fat | 43 g |
| Saturated Fat | 16 g |
| Trans Fat | 1.5 g |
| Cholesterol | 95 mg |

| Dietary Fiber | 2 g |
| Total Sugars | 6 g |
| Protein | 35 g |
| Calcium | 15% DV |
| Iron | 25% DV |
| Potassium | 10% DV |
The protein is high at 35 grams, but so are the fat (43 g) and sodium (1,210 mg) — and that’s before you add fries and a drink. This is a treat-yourself burger rather than an everyday choice.
What’s Inside: Full Ingredient List
Beef Patty
Fresh, never-frozen ground beef, prepared with salt. The patties are cooked on a shared grill that also handles ingredients containing milk and soy.
Toasted Sesame Bun
Enriched wheat flour, water, high fructose corn syrup, yeast, soybean oil, salt, wheat gluten, dough conditioners, canola or sunflower oil, and sesame. Buns are toasted in a shared toaster with products containing egg, soy, and milk.
Roasted Mushrooms
Mushrooms, water, onions, modified corn starch, butter (cream, salt), sea salt, beef stock, mushroom juice concentrate, garlic, yeast extract, sugar, onion juice concentrate, tomato concentrate, soy sauce (water, soybeans, wheat, salt), natural smoke flavor, and spices.
Muenster Cheese
Pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, and annatto color.
Creamy Garlic Spread
Soybean oil, water, egg yolks, salt, cider vinegar, distilled vinegar, garlic, onion, sugar, dehydrated onion and garlic, mustard seed, spices, xanthan gum, monosodium glutamate, potassium sorbate, natural flavor, paprika color, parsley, and citric acid.
Applewood Smoked Bacon
Bacon cured with water, salt, sugar, smoke flavoring, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite.
Allergen Information
The Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger contains the following common allergens:
- Egg (from the creamy garlic spread)
- Milk (from the Muenster cheese and butter in the mushrooms)
- Soy (from the roasted mushrooms and soy sauce)
- Wheat / gluten (from the bun and soy sauce)
- Sesame (from the sesame bun)
Because patties share a grill and buns share a toaster, cross-contact with milk and soy is possible. This burger is not gluten-free. If you have a serious allergy, confirm the current ingredient list at your location before ordering.
How Does It Taste?
This is a deeply savory, umami-forward burger. The roasted mushrooms bring an earthy, meaty depth, the Applewood bacon adds smoky crunch, and the creamy garlic spread ties it together with a rich, slightly tangy bite — some reviewers even pick up a faint hint of heat from it. The fresh beef patty stays juicy, while the toasted sesame bun holds the whole thing together.
One honest note from reviewers: the Muenster cheese is mild enough that its flavor can get lost among the bolder mushrooms, bacon, and garlic spread — so much so that it can read like Swiss. It’s a satisfying, hearty burger overall, especially if you love garlic and mushrooms, but the cheese isn’t the star.
Is It a Healthy Choice?
In a word, no — and it doesn’t pretend to be. The burger alone packs 670 calories, 43 grams of fat, and 1,210 mg of sodium, and the combo pushes well past 1,000 calories once fries and a soda are added. Reader polls consistently rate it on the indulgent end of Wendy’s menu.
The upside is a strong 35 grams of protein. If you want to enjoy it more sensibly, ordering the single (rather than a double or triple), swapping the soda for water, and choosing a smaller side all help bring the meal back down to earth.
Sizes and Pricing
The burger comes in three patty sizes, and the calories and price scale up accordingly. These are burger-only figures (before combo add-ons).
| Size | Approx. Price (USD) | Approx. Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Single | $7.29 – $8.69 | 670 |
| Double | ~$8.59 | ~1,010 |
| Triple | ~$9.89 | 1,350 |
The single is the most reasonable pick for most people; the double and triple add a lot of calories and sodium for the extra patties.
Ways to Customize Your Combo
- Pick your patty size: Single, double, or triple, depending on your appetite.
- Swap the side: Trade fries for a different side where available.
- Choose a lighter drink: Water or a diet beverage trims a chunk off the combo total.
- Adjust toppings: Ask to hold the garlic spread or bacon if you’d prefer a milder, lower-fat build.
A Note on Availability
The Mushroom Bacon Cheeseburger first launched as a limited-time menu item, so it isn’t always available year-round. Wendy’s has brought back fan favorites before, but if you’re craving it, it’s worth checking the Wendy’s app or your local restaurant to confirm it’s currently on the menu.
Want to Make It at Home?
A copycat is very doable. Sauté sliced mushrooms in butter with a splash of beef stock and garlic, cook a seasoned beef patty, and stack it on a toasted sesame bun with crispy bacon, a slice of Muenster, and a quick garlic aioli (mayo, minced garlic, a little mustard, and vinegar). Making your own lets you control the sodium and skip the additives — a richer, fresher version for less than the combo price.
