Holy cow! McDonald’s biggest burger ever is finally coming to the US.
The fast-food chain revealed that the Big Arch Burger will be rolling out nationally on Tuesday, March 3 — and they’re calling it their “most McDonald’s, McDonald’s burger” yet, per the McDonald’s Menu Spotter.
Lucky for New York City-based Golden Arch fans, the highly anticipated burger is already widely available in Manhattan, according to the McDonald’s app.
The burger, available for a limited time, is “a love letter to fans who simply can’t get enough,” featuring two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of melted white cheddar cheese, crispy onions, slivered raw onions, lettuce, pickles and Big Arch Sauce.
Big Arch Sauce is described as “a tangy, creamy sauce with a perfect balance of mustard, pickle and sweet tomato flavors.”
The new burger first garnered cult fandom across Canadian and European markets in 2024 and was eventually added to the permanent menu in the UK and Ireland.
Weighing in at 14 ounces total — compared to the total 3.5 ounces of a standard burger — the Big Arch Burger is the chain’s biggest burger.
And with a big burger comes big calories and a big price.
The new Big Arch Burger consists of 1,020 calories, according to the McDonald’s website.

The meat is two quarter pound patties, for half a pound. The sandwich with everything else is 14 ounces.
What is white cheddar? Cheddar without food coloring?
Two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese on a sesame seed bun
I had one last week. It was $8.99, and it was actually good. One of the best fast food burgers I’ve ever had.
Nothing wrong with a half pound burger. But I prefer one made at home, without the extra craps MacDonald put in theirs. So mine is grass fed/ Aldi organic ketchup/ decent bread/ zero mayo or “special sauce”/ usually cheese/ ......... the variable maybes are onion pickle hot sauce lettuce tomato A1 steak sauce relish mustard
A&W is good but they are all gone from my area
I’ll have to see if any survived
Does Arch Manning get involved with this?
What is white cheddar? Cheddar without food coloring?
Yes.....no food color......but it is
aged longer so it has a sharper flavor.
You deserve a break today...so get up and crawl away from McDonald’s!
🤣🤣🤣
There’s still some 🍟🍟🍟🍟 fries!! 😜
Then you don’t have to buy 2 1/4 pounders and you’ll save calories on the extra bun ,LOL
I’ll spend $29 at the grocery store and get four of those instead. We’ll go out for special occasions, but it just became unconscionable to eat out as often.
“McDonalds admitted that they used mealworms on their meat to prevent bacterial spoilage...”
Hogwash!
I normally eat 2 burgers, 1/3 pound each. Sometimes with buns. About 800 calories for the meat. About 300 more in 2 buns. My other meal for the day will probably be an omelet.
If one doesn’t cover things in high calorie, sugary sauces, add in fries and a 32 ounce Coke, big hamburgers are healthy. I’m 5’8” guy, 150 pounds, Medicare age.
1100 calories for a meal would be fine if one doesn’t eat 3-4 times a day or add in another 1000 calories in sugar and fries. But most Americans add the extra calories and eat far too often!
When I worked at McDonald's in 1971 and 1972, all of those things except the chicken nuggets would have cost $1.45 total, or $1.50 if you got a large Coke. They didn't have chicken nuggets then.
It’s a cross between a double quarter pounder and a big mac.
Uh, no.
If I’m going pay that kind of price, I’d rather go to Five Guys.
In San Francisco, after surcharges for just about everything, that same meal is $40.
Not. Kidding.
