The short answer: McDonald's Australia has no official secret menu. What people call the "Maccas secret menu" is a set of fan-made hacks: you combine or change normal menu items to make something new. Whether you can get one depends on the restaurant and on what the ordering system lets you change.
On this page: what McDonald's does officially allow, the popular hacks, and what to watch out for.
What McDonald's officially lets you change
These are facts from McDonald's Australia, not hacks:
- In the MyMacca's app you can add or remove items from your cart before you place an order, and customise ingredients (for example adding extra ingredients). Extra ingredients cost extra (McDonald's Australia – mobile ordering FAQs).
- Burgers, wraps and similar items default to "item only". You can choose a small, medium or large meal, or use "Make it a Meal" from the cart.
- Loose Change Menu items can't be changed. McDonald's says they can't be altered, discounted further or used in a meal or bundle (Loose Change Menu).
- Only one deal can be used per person per order, and you can only place one mobile order at a time.
Popular Maccas "secret menu" hacks
These have been shared by customers online for years. They are not official, they aren't on McDonald's menu board, and they may not work at your store. We list them as ideas only, with no prices, because the price depends on which items and extras you add.
| Hack | How people order it |
|---|---|
| McBrunch Burger | A double cheeseburger with an egg added |
| Monster Mac | A Big Mac with extra beef patties added |
| McBassett | Soft serve dunked into an iced latte |
| Land, Sea and Air Burger | Patties from a Big Mac, a Filet-O-Fish and a McChicken combined |
A hack that became real: the Big Brekkie Burger used to be passed around as a "secret", but it is now on McDonald's official breakfast menu in Australia. See our McDonald's breakfast menu.
What to expect when you ask
- The restaurant can say no. Staff don't have to make a combination, and kitchens differ.
- Extras cost extra. Every added patty, egg or topping is charged, so a hack can cost more than a regular burger. Ask the price before you order.
- Use the app or kiosk for add-ons where you can. It shows the cost as you customise.
- Be polite and patient, especially at busy times, and don't expect it to work at drive-thru.
Be careful with "secret menu" lists online
Many lists copy items from the US or other countries, where the menu is different. If an item isn't on the Australian menu, a store here can't make it just because a list says so. Check our new McDonald's menu items page and the MyMacca's app to see what's actually available in Australia right now.
Cheap legitimate options with fixed prices are on the Loose Change Menu and our McDonald's menu prices page.
FAQ
Does McDonald's Australia have a secret menu?
No. There is no official secret menu. The "secret menu" is a set of fan hacks that combine or change normal items.
How do I get the Maccas secret menu on the app?
You can't order a "secret menu" in the app. You can customise items (add or remove ingredients, make it a meal), and extras are charged. Loose Change items can't be changed.
Are Maccas menu hacks allowed?
Staff aren't required to make them. Some stores will, some won't, and you pay for every extra.
How much does a Maccas hack cost?
It depends on the items and extras. Each addition is charged on top of the base item, so ask the price first.
Can I order the secret menu on Uber Eats or DoorDash?
We can't confirm that delivery apps allow the changes needed for hacks. Loose Change items aren't available on McDelivery at all.
Where can I find real Maccas menu deals?
See the Loose Change Menu, the McSmart meals on our menu prices page and the offers in the MyMacca's app.
