Frequently Asked Questions – McDonald’s $5 McDouble® Meal Deal

The $5 McDouble® Meal Deal includes one McDouble® burger made with two seasoned 100% pure beef patties, one slice of American cheese, pickles, onions, ketchup, and mustard on a regular bun. It also comes with a 4-piece order of Chicken McNuggets® made from white boneless chicken, a small portion of World Famous Fries®, and a small soft drink like Coca-Cola® or another fountain beverage of your choice. This combination delivers a full, satisfying meal at a budget-friendly price point.

The complete meal totals approximately 990 calories. This estimate does not include dipping sauces for the Chicken McNuggets®, which can add anywhere from 30 to 110 extra calories per packet depending on which sauce you choose. For example, Tangy BBQ is around 45 calories per serving, while Sweet ‘N Sour and Ranch can be slightly higher at 50-60 calories each.

Yes, the McDouble® is made with two beef patties that are 100% pure USDA-inspected beef with no fillers or extenders. They’re seasoned simply with salt and black pepper while cooking on the grill for authentic beef flavor. The cheese is a single slice of pasteurized process American cheese, which melts nicely between the patties for extra creaminess and flavor.

The $5 Meal Deal is designed to offer great value with its fixed combination, so substitutions are not guaranteed at most locations. Some local franchises may let you swap the McDouble® for a comparable sandwich or make modifications for an extra charge, but it depends on your location’s policy and franchise discretion. You can always ask your local McDonald’s crew if they’re able to make substitutions or offer custom upgrades.

Yes, the meal always comes with a 4-piece order of Chicken McNuggets®. These nuggets are made from white boneless chicken breast and rib meat, lightly seasoned and breaded, then fried until crispy and golden. They’re served hot and pair perfectly with dipping sauces like Sweet ‘N Sour, Ranch, Tangy BBQ, or Honey Mustard.

By default, your small Coca-Cola® or other soft drink will be served with ice, but you can easily request no ice or light ice if you prefer a less watered-down drink with more beverage volume. You can make this request in-store, at the drive-thru, or when customizing your order through the McDonald’s app for Mobile Order & Pay.

No, none of the standard items in the $5 McDouble® Meal Deal are gluten-free. The McDouble® includes a regular bun made with wheat flour, the Chicken McNuggets® have a breaded coating that contains wheat, and the fries use a natural beef flavor that includes wheat and milk derivatives. There is also the possibility of cross-contact with gluten-containing ingredients during kitchen preparation.

Availability can vary by restaurant, but the $5 McDouble® Meal Deal is generally offered during regular lunch and dinner hours once the breakfast menu has ended. Breakfast hours typically run until 10:30 AM on weekdays and 11:00 AM on weekends, but check with your local McDonald’s or the app since some locations’ service times can vary based on traffic and staffing.

Yes, McDonald’s allows basic customizations for the McDouble®. You can request to remove or add condiments like ketchup, mustard, pickles, or onions to better suit your taste preferences. You can even ask for extra pickles or onions at most locations, often at no extra cost. Use the McDonald’s app for the easiest customization experience.

Yes, your meal includes one dipping sauce per 4-piece Chicken McNuggets® by default. Popular choices are Tangy BBQ, Sweet ‘N Sour, Honey Mustard, Hot Mustard, Ranch, Spicy Buffalo, or Honey. If you’d like more than one sauce or extra packets, some locations may charge a small fee (typically $0.25-$0.50) for each additional packet.

Yes, the $5 McDouble® Meal Deal can be ordered through McDelivery® using the McDonald’s app or through third-party delivery services like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Grubhub, depending on your location’s delivery availability. Keep in mind that prices on delivery platforms may be slightly higher than in-store prices (often $5.50-$6 for delivery), and delivery fees and service charges may apply.

This combo meal provides approximately 34 grams of protein total, making it one of the higher-protein value meals. The McDouble® itself supplies about 22 grams of protein from the two beef patties and cheese, while the Chicken McNuggets® add around 9 grams, and the fries and soft drink contribute a minimal amount. This makes it a relatively good source of protein for a fast-food combo meal.

Yes, the McDouble® includes a single slice of pasteurized process American cheese melted between the two beef patties. This adds creaminess and a mild salty flavor that complements the burger’s simple seasonings. If you prefer more cheese, you can request extra for an additional charge.

McDonald’s World Famous Fries® in the U.S. are cooked with a natural beef flavor that includes milk and wheat derivatives, so they’re not considered vegetarian or vegan. This flavoring helps give the fries their signature taste and golden color, but it means they are not suitable for vegetarian or plant-based diets.

The $5 Meal Deal comes with a small soft drink and small fries by default, but you may be able to upsize your drink or fries for an additional charge (typically $0.50-$1.00) at participating locations. Upsizing will slightly increase the total calories—medium fries add about 110 extra calories, and a medium drink adds roughly 50-80 more calories—so keep that in mind if you’re watching your calorie intake.

The meal contains wheat, milk, and soy. The bun and nuggets contain wheat, the fries have milk derivatives in the beef flavoring, and the cheese contains milk and soy lecithin. Cross-contact with sesame and other allergens is also possible.

The McDouble® $5 Meal Deal is a limited-time promotion. Availability and end dates vary by location and franchise participation. Check the McDonald’s app or your local restaurant for current promotion details and timing.

Many customers consider the McDouble® $5 Meal Deal an excellent value because it provides a double beef burger, nuggets, fries, and drink—items that would typically cost $9-11 separately—for just $5 (or $5.50-$6 in some areas). It’s satisfying, offers variety, and delivers substantial protein and calories for the price.

Yes, when you order through the McDonald’s app and opt into MyMcDonald’s Rewards, you can earn points on the $5 Meal Deal purchase. Points accumulate and can be redeemed for free food and drinks.

The McDouble has one slice of cheese between two patties, while the Double Cheeseburger has two slices of cheese (one on each patty). The Double Cheeseburger costs slightly more and has about 50 extra calories due to the additional cheese.
