The home menu, verified: this is the board every other country page on this site deviates from. Current news on it: the Snack Wrap is back after a nine-year absence, Spicy McNuggets returned in August for a limited run, and McCrispy Strips rejoined the permanent lineup. One thing you won’t find here or on McDonald’s own site: national prices — every US franchisee sets its own, so the app is the only place to see what your store charges.
The US McDonald’s menu is simultaneously the world’s most familiar and one of its most unusual: no rice plates, no soup, no vegetarian patty, a sides list two items long, and beef depth no other market matches. This page and its drinks-and-desserts half are the verified baseline for the worldwide exclusives table and every country comparison we run.
Checked against McDonald’s own US menu; images © McDonald’s. On prices: since franchisees price independently and the company stopped publishing national numbers, no prices appear below — the McDonald’s app shows your local store’s, and the McValue menu (the $5 Meal Deal plus buy-one-add-one-for-$1) is the closest thing to national pricing that exists.

Reading the American menu
Two system notes. First, pricing: US franchisees set their own prices, the company publishes none, and the gap between stores can be startling — which is why this site quotes exact prices for Tokyo and Delhi but not for Ohio. The McValue platform ($5 Meal Deal, McDouble or McChicken based, plus the buy-one-add-a-dollar list) is the response to the viral price-anger years. Second, what’s missing: seen from Japan, India or Korea, the striking thing about America’s menu is its conservatism — no seasonal event culture, no vegetarian option, no localized breakfast plate, and a spice ceiling the McSpicy countries would call a floor.
FAQ
Why doesn’t McDonald’s publish US prices?
Franchisees price independently and the company removed national pricing from public view; the app is authoritative for your store. The $5 Meal Deal and McValue lineup are the only near-national price points.
What’s new on the US menu right now?
Spicy Chicken McNuggets (limited, August 2026), the returned Snack Wrap and McCrispy Strips (permanent), and on the drinks side, the Refreshers, dirty sodas, Red Bull line and the fall Caramel Apple Pie McCafé range.
Is there a vegetarian burger at US McDonald’s?
No — the US board has no meatless patty, while India runs a dozen. Fries, sides and desserts are the vegetarian territory, with the usual caveats.
What is the McValue menu?
The 2025-introduced value platform: a $5 Meal Deal (McDouble or McChicken, small fries, 4-piece nuggets, small drink) plus a buy-one-get-one-for-$1 add-on list. It replaced the old Dollar Menu lineage.
