Shakes are priced and counted at small size: Chocolate 520, Vanilla 480 and Strawberry 470 calories.

McDonald’s Allergen Information

McDonald’s publishes ingredient and allergen information for every item, and the table below covers 16 core products against the nine major FDA allergens. One surprise for many people: the World Famous Fries and Hash Browns list wheat and milk as contained, because the natural beef flavor in the frying oil is made with hydrolyzed wheat and milk ingredients. A dash means the allergen is not listed as contained in the item’s official ingredient statement. Every McDonald’s kitchen uses shared cooking and preparation areas, so cross-contact with any allergen is possible — if you have a serious allergy, always confirm with the restaurant before ordering.

*The Filet-O-Fish is built on the regular bun family, which McDonald’s lists as “may contain sesame” — treat that cell as a may-contain and check the live product page if sesame matters to you. No item in this table lists peanut, tree nut or shellfish as contained; the M&M’S candies in the McFlurry do carry a manufacturer-level “may contain peanuts” notice.

McDonald’s Nutrition Chart: Calories, Fat, Carbs, Protein and Sodium

This McDonald’s nutrition chart compares 24 core items side by side, using McDonald’s published US nutrition panels. The Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese carries the most protein (48 g) and the most sodium (1,360 mg), a Big Mac has 580 calories with 25 g of protein, and the lightest item in the chart is the 4-piece Chicken McNuggets at 170 calories.

McDonald’s Opening and Closing Hours

There is no single national schedule: about 95% of US McDonald’s restaurants are run by franchisees who set their own hours. The table below shows the typical pattern — most stores open at 5:00 or 6:00 AM, breakfast ends at 10:30 AM on weekdays and 11:00 AM on weekends, and many drive-thrus run 24 hours even when the lobby is closed. The McDonald’s app or store locator always has the exact hours for your store.

McDonald’s Reviews: The World’s Largest McDonald’s in Orlando

The most reviewed McDonald’s in the world is the World’s Largest Entertainment McDonald’s & PlayPlace on Sand Lake Road in Orlando, Florida — a three-story location with its own pizza oven, pasta station and two-story arcade, open 24 hours. It holds a 4.0 out of 5 rating from 23,124 Google reviews. The reviews quoted on this page are real Google reviews of that location, with the reviewers’ names as published.

“Love the atmosphere & customer service. I’ll rate the pizza an 8/10, it tastes pretty good knowing it’s from McDonald’s.”

— DJ K, Google review (5 stars)

“Cool McDonald’s with a large play place and some unique menu items, but the fun stops there. High prices on menu items, the arcade upstairs is $2.50+ per game play, some food took a long while to come out and was like warm when it did…”

— Matt B, Google review (3 stars)

Everyday stores are judged on different things: drive-thru speed, order accuracy and fries that arrive hot. The slider below collects more real reviews of the Orlando flagship, from five-star fans to the price complaints.

How much is a Big Mac in 2026?

A Big Mac costs $6.29 on the checked prices on this page, with 580 calories. McDonald’s does not set one national price — each restaurant sets its own — so the same sandwich can cost a dollar or more above or below that figure depending on the city.

What is the cheapest thing at McDonald’s?

The Vanilla Cone and the Honest Kids juice box are the cheapest items on this page at $1.29. On the McValue Under $3 menu, national spotlight prices have included a $1.50 Sausage McMuffin and a $2.50 McDouble at participating restaurants, and the $4 Meal Deals are the cheapest full meals.

How many calories are in a Big Mac?

A Big Mac has 580 calories, with 34 g of fat, 45 g of carbohydrates, 25 g of protein and 1,060 mg of sodium, per McDonald’s published nutrition panel. The full 24-item nutrition chart is in the nutrition section above.

What time does McDonald’s stop serving breakfast?

At most US restaurants, breakfast runs from opening (about 5:00 AM) until 10:30 AM on weekdays and 11:00 AM on weekends, when the kitchen switches to the lunch menu. A few locations serve a limited breakfast menu later, but the full breakfast board ends at the cutoff.

Is McDonald’s open 24 hours?

Many McDonald’s locations are open 24 hours, especially in big cities, along highways and near airports — but overnight service is almost always drive-thru only, with the lobby locked. Because about 95% of restaurants are franchised, hours are set store by store; the McDonald’s app shows the exact hours for yours.

Does McDonald’s have a secret menu?

Not officially. The McDonald’s secret menu is a set of fan-made customizations — like the Land, Sea & Air Burger or a Neapolitan shake — that crews will usually make if you order the components and explain the build. See our McDonald’s secret menu coverage for the combinations that actually work.

Do McDonald’s prices vary by location?

Yes — almost every McDonald’s is independently owned, and each franchisee sets its own prices. Stores in New York City, California, Hawaii and airports commonly run above the prices on this page. For ways to pay less, see our McDonald’s coupons and deals coverage.

Conclusion

The McDonald’s menu is built to be cheap at the bottom and generous at the top: a $1.29 Vanilla Cone and $4 McValue Meal Deals at one end, a $6.29 Big Mac in the middle, and limited-time specials like the $8.99 Big Arch at the other. Prices change and vary by restaurant, so treat this page as your checked reference and confirm in the app when it matters.
