REVIEW: Wendy’s Breakfast Baconator

Wendy s Breakfast Baconator

What is Wendy’s Breakfast Baconator?

A pre-10 a.m. take on Wendy’s famed Baconator hamburger, this walk-of-shame variation features grilled sausage, American cheese, a flattened egg, and enough Applewood smoked bacon to choke a hog. It’s also topped with a Swiss cheese sauce and served to you with a coffee and a smile.

How is it?

Take what you think you know about breakfast sandwiches and beat it into salty submission. While the Breakfast Baconator might not look as jam-packed as, say, some monstrosity from Carl’s Jr., Wendy’s has somehow managed to pack quite a bit of grotesquely gorgeous morningside taste in its bid for total breakfast domination.

Besides the requisite slab of fried egg and cut of grilled sausage — nicely done, by the way — the two distinctly separate layers of Applewood smoked bacon, while definitely the definition of “too much,” work perfectly for the breakfast sandwich. It might be even better than the lunchtime variety. And while the Swiss cheese sauce was somewhat lighter than expected, the two slices of American cheese make up for it, giving this pile of meat a surprising bite from the dairy.

Is there anything else you need to know?

With so much bacon — I counted eight strips on mine — the salt in this sandwich is mouth-puckeringly strong. I say skip the hash browns and order an extra cup of coffee instead. You’ll need it way more, even after the Breakfast Baconator is a belching memory.

Conclusion:

Calorically rich in its Applewood smoked goodness, it really is a perfect-enough fast food breakfast and quite obviously the cornerstone of Wendy’s burgeoning breakfast menu, which, at least in my part of the country, could be considered fightin’ words. I mean, have you seen those Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits?

  1. I really enjoyed this and it’s a hearty breakfast option. All the flavors work well together.

  2. way to much.. who would eat this? dont need all that cholestrol and i hate breakfast.. just give me a double delxu.. skip the cheese.. el yucateo hot sauce is the best stuff.. seriously

    1. “who would eat this?” Mostly the TRASHY PEOPLE. One of them proved how trashy he is with his foul language. LOL!!!

  3. @Al Rod… You came to the wrong place to bash a sandwich. I lost a bet and now have to eat every single one of the sandwiches. Lemme tell you minus the cost every day and the potential incoming heart attack, the baconator is still at the top of my list. I do wish that would have used the croissant roll instead of a bun, but can’t win them all.
