I tried breakfast at 5 fast-food chains. The best meal was one of the cheapest.
Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, and Dunkin' sell breakfast combos ranging from $6 to almost $12. Here's how they stack up.
To determine which fast-food chain offered the best breakfast meal for the best price, Gabbi Shaw visited McDonald's, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Burger King, and Dunkin. Each meal included a breakfast sandwich, a drink, and a side, ranging in price from $6 to nearly $12.
At McDonald's, the Sausage McMuffin with Egg was a standout, with a crispy, salty hash brown that earned a perfect 10 out of 10 rating. The McCafé coffee was also well-received, though some found it slightly burned.
Dunkin's breakfast meal was reasonably priced at $6.53 and included a flavorful croissant sandwich and hash browns. The medium-sized iced coffee with added pumpkin and hazelnut syrups was also enjoyed.
Taco Bell's Breakfast Crunch Wrap Combo, priced at $7.99, featured a spicy Breakfast Crunchwrap with egg, bacon, a hash brown, and cheese, along with a large cup of coffee. The Cinnabon Delights side provided a sweet treat.
Wendy's offered a cheaper breakfast option at a lower price point, but its coffee was less impressive than the other chains. Burger King's offering wasn't specifically detailed in the report. Overall, McDonald's Sausage McMuffin with Egg emerged as the best value for its taste and price.
