The numbers first, so you can decide before you reach the speaker.

What’s usually on the Kids' Hamburger
This is the standard US build. The crew can hold a sauce or add bacon if it is already on the line.
- Kids’ entree (burger, nuggets, or tenders)
- A small side
- A kids’ drink
- Toy when the current promotion includes one
What to order with it
A named combo bundles fries and a drink. Pick sides on their own when you want to keep the calories or the total down.
- Natural-cut fries or chili
- A small Frosty or fountain drink
- Upgrade to a combo only if you want the bundled drink/fries
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.
- Wheat or gluten is likely, from a bun, breading, or biscuit.
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.
Kids’ meals, toys, and swapping the side
Every kids’ meal is an entree, a side, and a drink. The extras are where it varies.
- Toys rotate with promotions, including movie tie-ins. A character bag you saw last month is not a promise this week.
- Ask for apple bites or a baked potato instead of fries when the restaurant has them.
