If you’ve ever tried a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, you know it’s a burger that stands out. The 100% fresh beef patty is always cooked when you order, making it hot and juicy. It’s cooked on a flat iron grill, so you get that delicious sizzled flavor. I love how the two slices of melty American cheese melt right over the beef, and the slivered onions give it a little crunch. Of course, the tangy pickles are the perfect touch to add some zest to every bite. The sesame seed bun holds everything together just right, making it easy to enjoy without everything falling apart.

When it comes to calories, the Quarter Pounder with Cheese has about 520 calories—enough to fill you up without being too heavy. It’s also nice to know that McDonald’s doesn’t use artificial preservatives, artificial flavors, or added colors in their burgers. If you’re ordering through the McDonald’s app, you can collect points with MyMcDonald’s Rewards on every order, which can even lead to some free rewards over time.

If you’re craving a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, it’s easy to order through the McD app. You can either choose pickup or delivery from participating McDonald’s. For pickup, just place your order through the app and go to the restaurant to grab your meal.
