#5 Bacon & Cheese Whataburger: $7.39, 750 Calories (2026)

What comes on a Whataburger bacon cheeseburger

The #5 Bacon & Cheese Whataburger is the menu's bacon cheeseburger. On the delivery-app menu list it is shown as a large 5-inch bun, one large beef patty, one slice of American cheese and three bacon slices, with tomato, lettuce, pickles, diced onions and mustard.

That is the #1 build plus cheese and bacon, which adds 160 calories. If you prefer the cheese and bacon without the vegetables, ask for it plain; removing toppings is free. Wikipedia also lists the Bacon & Cheese Whataburger among the chain's core burgers, next to the original and the Triple Meat.

#5 price, and why it beats adding bacon yourself

At Store #608 (Dallas Pkwy & Frankford, Dallas, TX) on Nov 3, 2026, the #5 was $7.39 and the Whatameal was $10.99, a $3.60 step up for medium fries and a medium drink.

A #1 with the $1.80 bacon add-on would cost $7.79, which is $0.40 more than the #5, and it still would not have cheese. The delivery-app price was $9.54, 29% above the store.
