What is in Dave’s Double

Dave’s Double takes everything in Dave’s Single and doubles the beef. You get two quarter-pound patties of fresh, never-frozen beef, cooked to order on the grill, with a slice of American cheese on each patty. The toppings stay classic: shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, crinkle-cut dill pickles, ketchup, mayonnaise, and sliced onion, all on a toasted bun.

The result is a half-pound of beef in a single burger, which puts Dave’s Double among the most filling standard-menu burgers at any major fast-food chain. At 810 calories with 49 grams of protein, it is a serious meal. It is the burger you order when the Single sounds good but you know it will not be enough.

Dave’s Double nutrition facts

Full nutrition breakdown for one Dave’s Double, based on Wendy’s official US nutrition data as reported by third-party nutrition databases.

Nutrient	Amount per Dave’s Double
Calories	810
Total fat	52g
Total carbohydrates	36g
Protein	49g
Sodium	1410mg

The protein number is the standout: 49 grams is more than most people need in a single meal, and it is the reason gym-goers and big appetites gravitate to this burger. The trade-off is 52 grams of fat and 1410 mg of sodium, which is more than half the daily sodium guideline in one item. Treat the Double as a full meal on its own; pairing it with fries and a soda pushes the total well past 1400 calories.

Dave’s Double ingredients and customization

The standard build is two beef patties, two slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, ketchup, mayo, onion, and a toasted bun. Customization follows the same playbook as the Single. Removing the mayo cuts fat and about 90 calories. Dropping one or both cheese slices reduces fat and sodium while keeping the double-beef experience that defines the burger.

Some regulars order the Double with no bun toppings at all, just beef and cheese, for a lower-carb build. Others add bacon to push it toward Baconator territory. Both work, but each addition adds cost and calories, so build with a plan.

Allergens

Dave’s Double contains wheat and gluten (bun), egg (mayo), milk (American cheese, buttered bun), sesame (ingredients in the bun), and soy (bun and condiment ingredients). With two patties and two cheese slices, the dairy and overall allergen load is higher than the Single. Cross-contact is possible in Wendy’s kitchens. Always check with the restaurant if you have a serious allergy.

Dave’s Double vs Dave’s Single

The difference is exactly one patty and one cheese slice, but the numbers tell the story. Dave’s Single: 590 calories, 34g fat, 29g protein, 1090mg sodium, from $5.49. Dave’s Double: 810 calories, 52g fat, 49g protein, 1410mg sodium, from $6.49.

You pay roughly a dollar more for 220 extra calories and 20 extra grams of protein. On a protein-per-dollar basis, the Double wins clearly. On a fits-in-my-day basis, the Single usually wins. If you are eating the burger as your main meal and nothing else, the Double is the better deal. If fries or a Frosty are joining it, the Single keeps the total in check.

Getting the best value on Dave’s Double

• At from $6.49 for 810 calories and 49g of protein, Dave’s Double is one of the best protein-per-dollar deals in fast food.
• The Dave’s Double Combo adds medium fries and a drink. It costs more up front but beats buying the three items separately.
• Wendy’s app deals regularly feature Dave’s burgers. Check the offers tab before ordering; the Double shows up often.
• Skip the mayo and you cut fat and calories for free. The double beef and cheese carry the burger’s flavor on their own.
