Wendy's introduced the Baconator in the United States in 2007 as a bacon-forward take on the classic cheeseburger, and it quickly became one of the brand's most recognized items worldwide. Wendy's New Zealand, operated by Wendco (NZ) Limited under the Flynn Group since May 2024, carries the Baconator as a permanent menu item rather than a limited-time offer.
At 1,061 kcal, the Baconator is one of the highest-calorie burgers on the New Zealand board. The half-pound patty and four bacon strips add most of the protein and saturated fat. The smaller Son of Baconator is 603 kcal (2,523 kJ), so it is worth a look if you want less.
You can order the Baconator as a combo to add a drink and a side of fries or chili. Based on the 22 Aug 2026 price list, a Small Baconator Combo runs about $18.90, a Medium is about $20.80, and a Large is about $22.20. Combo pricing adds roughly $5 to $8 over the standalone burger, depending on size.
The Baconator has several siblings in the Black Label Classics section of the board. The Son of Baconator is a smaller two-patty version for about $10.20, aimed at diners who want the same flavour with less food.
The Triple Baconator steps up to three beef patties for about $18.10, and the Baconator Mushroom Melt swaps in a creamy mushroom sauce for about $14.70. Comparing these side by side can help you pick the right portion before ordering.
Crew can usually hold the signature sauce, add extra bacon for an upcharge, or swap in a lettuce wrap instead of a bun on request. These changes aren't guaranteed at every restaurant, since ingredient availability and store policy vary, so ask before you order if you need a specific substitution.
Classic sides to pair with the Baconator include natural-cut Fries, the signature Chili, or a Side Salad for something lighter. A Frosty or soft drink rounds out the meal. The Chocolate Frosty and Frosty Shakes are the most common dessert pairing on the New Zealand board.
The Baconator is available for dine-in, takeaway, and delivery at participating Wendy's New Zealand restaurants, including through delivery platforms that list Wendy's stores. Delivery prices and availability can differ from in-store ordering, so check the specific platform for your location.
