- McDonald's has brought back a new version of the Dollar Menu called the "$1 $2 $3 Menu."
- It's a tiered system, with items costing $1, $2, and $3.
- Some are great deals — others, not so much.
The McDonald's Dollar Menu has returned, albeit in a new tiered format.
McDonald's "$1 $2 $3 Menu" is exactly as it sounds — items are available for $1, $2, or $3. Some of them are actually pretty great deals considering their normal menu price; others inspire significantly less excitement.
There are 10 food items on the menu, excluding drinks, and we've ranked them all from best to worst to find out what's the best bang for your buck — or two or three bucks, respectively.
We're excluding the $1 soft drink and the $2 small McCafe from the ranking so we can get right to the meat of the deal. Without further ado, the ranking:
10. Triple Cheeseburger
Three patties is a lot for any burger out there, regardless of price. If you're really hankering for a lot of beef and not much else, fine; a lot of beef and not much else is what this triple cheeseburger delivers. And at $3 — a dollar per patty essentially — it's not the best deal.
9. Cheeseburger
On the opposite end of the burger spectrum, the lonely single-patty cheeseburger stands sullen and forgotten. While three patties is too much, one patty just gets lost. The proportions are off, leaving the beef, onions, and pickles lost in the puffy bun. It's not much of a loss at $1, but it's not much of a gain either.
