When hunger strikes, a burger often does the trick. This year, National Hamburger Day falls on Sunday, May 28, 2023, and several major burger chains are marking the occasion — with Wendy’s leading the pack.

Starting Friday, Wendy’s will offer junior bacon cheeseburgers for a penny — yes, just apenny. These sandwiches usually cost $3.39.

Perfect for a Memorial Day weekend bite, the promotion begins on Friday and continues through Thursday, June 1.

The caveat is you must order the 1-cent cheeseburger through the Wendy’s app, and the offer is limited to one per customer. (Clearly, Wendy’s hopes this will encourage more app installs. Still, a penny bacon cheeseburger is a solid reason to download it.) Wendy’s says the discount will appear automatically in the app.

Wendy’s is also running additional promotions to mark Hamburger Day:

BOGO burgers: Buy one burger and get a second burger for $1, available all through May.
From Monday, May 29, through Sunday, June 4, customers who order via the Wendy’s app receive a complimentary soft drink.

Other Chains Joining the Hamburger Day Fun

Below are national and regional burger brands rolling out offers for National Hamburger Day:

Burger King

From Friday, May 26, through Sunday, May 28, Burger King is handing out a free hamburger with any purchase of $1 or more. This promotion should be accessible from the “Offers” section of Burger King’s app or on its website. You can also find related burger king deals on Savinly for more ways to save.

McDonald’s

McDonald’s doesn’t have a special specifically for National Hamburger Day, but it is running a promotion through June 12. The ongoing deal is a buy-one-get-one-for-$1 offer that applies to items such as the Big Mac, Chicken McNuggets, or a Quarter Pounder with cheese.

Red Robin

Join Red Robin’s loyalty program, Red Robin Royalty, and you can score 50% off a burger or entrée when you purchase another burger or entrée of equal or greater value. This offer is valid throughout May, which Red Robin recognizes as National Burger Month.

Wayback Burgers

The growing chain Wayback Burgers is featuring a one-day-only promotion on Sunday, National Hamburger Day. Orders placed through the Wayback Burgers app will qualify for BOGO classic burgers — buy one classic, get a second classic free.

One more thing to note: National Hamburger Day is separate from National Cheeseburger Day, which is observed each September. Keep an eye out for deals then as well.
