Hello. Today’s new McDonald’s menu item is the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese BBQ Bacon. As long as the name is, it’s a generously stacked new Quarter Pounder lineup item. It’s the double-patty version of the Quarter Pounder with Cheese BBQ Bacon, which first launched in January 2024. It’s said to deliver an even richer beefy aroma and juiciness. In particular, this is the first new Quarter Pounder menu in a year since the Jalapeño Quarter Pounder, so expectations are high. Let’s take a closer look.

Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese BBQ Bacon Price and Features

This time, McDonald’s launched both the standard Quarter Pounder with Cheese BBQ Bacon, topped with fried onions, and a double-patty version. Here’s a quick look at the prices.

Of course, you can get it for less than the base price if you use discounts in the official McDonald’s app, in-store deals, or McLunch promotions. Still, it’s priced like a premium lineup item. Without a discount, it does feel a bit expensive.

Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese BBQ Bacon: What’s Inside

Now let’s quickly check the build. This Quarter Pounder BBQ Bacon is already large, and it comes with a double-patty setup plus fried onions, so it’s quite thick. Still, compared with the Quattro Cheese Quattro Pepper I ordered at Burger King not long ago, the volume is fairly manageable.

Main Ingredients

The star is the Quarter Pounder’s signature wide beef patty. In between, you get yellow sliced cheddar cheese. On the very top are bacon, pickles, and fried onions.

Maybe the store assembled it well so it wouldn’t collapse, but it feels like a burger with solid volume and visuals for the first time in a while. When a burger looks thick, it often tilts and falls apart. If it doesn’t, it tends to come out too flat and disappointing.

BBQ Sauce Placement and Cross-Section

Let’s cut it in half and take a closer look. As mentioned earlier, even when you split it, the overall build doesn’t change much.

However, the BBQ sauce sits between the fried onions and the bacon, and it’s mostly concentrated in the center. Other than that, it doesn’t seem like there’s any additional sauce. We’ll have to taste it to see if this sauce alone works well without ketchup.

Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese BBQ Bacon Taste Test

Now let’s dig in. Since it’s quite thick, you’ll want to hold it firmly with both hands and take a big bite. The ingredients are fairly balanced, so nothing really sticks out or spills over. Haha.

A meal experience with strong beef flavor

With the first bite, you get the juicy, thick patty, plus bacon, cheese, and the smoky aroma of BBQ sauce. Overall, it’s a menu item that delivers a pretty satisfying taste and flavor.

I was a bit worried since BBQ sauce is the only sauce here. Still, as a ketchup substitute, it felt more than sufficient. It’s slightly salty, with a smoky note, and it pairs well with the hefty beef patties.

Effect of using a popular rapper as a model

You can taste the bacon clearly, and the fried onions add a nice crunch. That part is the same as the Quarter Pounder BBQ Bacon released in 2024, so it isn’t brand-new. Still, it feels quite good to have it again after a while.

Late-Stage Dryness and How to Handle It

However, after you get past the middle, the sauce gradually runs out. Then the heaviness of the double patties stands out, and it starts to feel a bit dry. It kicks in around the 2/3 or 3/4 mark.

At that point, it helps to pair it with a drink. Another good option is to use the ketchup that comes with the fries. If you love a very beef-forward patty, it likely won’t be a big issue.

Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese BBQ Bacon Overall Review

The double patties delivered a rich beefy aroma and plenty of juiciness, and the combination of thick patties with bacon and cheddar cheese worked well. In particular, the salty, smoky BBQ sauce paired nicely with the hefty beef patties. The fried onions also added a satisfying crunch.

The volume and visuals were solid, and the ingredients came together in a balanced way, making it easy enough to eat. Still, the value for money is something to think about. That said, if you already like the Quarter Pounder, this is an easy, safe pick.
