What Is in Dave’s Double?

Dave’s Double uses the same classic build as Dave’s Single. The difference is two fresh beef patties instead of one and two slices of American cheese instead of one. That single change shifts the entire eating experience.

Standard Ingredients

Fresh beef patties (2 x ¼ lb)

Half pound of fresh beef – more volume, more protein, juicier bite

American cheese (x2)

Double layer of melt adds richer, creamier flavor throughout

Romaine lettuce

Crisp texture that cuts through the heavier beef-cheese build

Tomato slice

Fresh acidity to balance the richness of two patties

Crinkle-cut pickles

Tangy crunch that keeps each bite from feeling heavy

Sweet onion

Mild savory depth without overpowering the beef

Ketchup

Adds sweetness and familiar fast food flavor

Mayonnaise

Brings creaminess and moisture to the full stack

Toasted sesame seed bun

Premium toasted bun holds the heavier double build without falling apart

The square patties extend beyond the bun edges, a Wendy’s signature detail that signals a generous, full-sized portion. With half a pound of fresh beef, every bite is noticeably beefier and more filling than the Single.

You can remove or add any toppings, swap the bun for a lettuce wrap, or upgrade to Dave’s Triple if you want even more beef.
