Baconator Fries as it is usually served. Plating varies by restaurant.
Wendy’s Baconator® Fries take natural-cut, hot fries and load them with creamy cheese sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and crispy Applewood smoked bacon. It’s a rich and indulgent side with real flavor in every bite - perfect for pairing with your favorite burger or enjoying as a cheesy, bacon-loaded snack.
The Baconator® Fries from Wendy’s are a bold and cheesy side dish loaded with flavor. They start with a base of hot, natural-cut fries that are cooked until golden and crisp. Then they’re topped with smooth, creamy cheese sauce, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and plenty of Applewood smoked bacon pieces for a smoky, savory crunch.
At Wendy's-Menu, we like how the Baconator® Fries turn a classic side into a full-on crave able snack. The melted cheese sauce seeps into every fry, and the extra cheddar adds a rich, cheesy layer. The crispy bacon bits on top make each bite feel indulgent and satisfying without going over the top.
They’re great to enjoy on their own or to share, and they pair perfectly with a Frosty®, cold drink, or any Wendy’s burger - especially the Baconator® itself. If you’re craving something cheesy and savory, this side delivers everything you love about fries, cheese, and bacon in one flavorful bite.
Wendy’s Baconator® Fries are the go-to choice for fans of bold toppings, melted cheese, and crispy bacon all packed into one hot, satisfying snack.

Allergens, fryers, and cross-contact
A clean ingredient list is not the whole story, because most stores fry several foods in the same oil. Here is what this item usually contains.
- Shared fryers mean fish, dairy, or wheat contact is possible even on a “plain” fried item.
How to order it at the speaker
Most kitchens will hold mayo, add bacon, or put chili on fries when the ingredient is already on the line. Expect a small upcharge, and skip invented secret-menu names.
- Say the item name first, then the change (“no mayo,” “extra pickle”).
- Delivery menus can be shorter and cost more than the dining room.
- Before about 10:30 a.m., many lunch sandwiches are not on the board yet.
