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

Ingredient	Role
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.
