The Big Mac isn't just a burger – it's a global icon that has stood the test of time. From its humble beginnings in 1968 to becoming a cultural phenomenon spanning countries and cultures worldwide, the Big Mac has earned its place in burger history.

So let's break down the family tree for you.

The classic Big Mac

It's the burger we all know and love, the star of the show – the classic Big Mac. With its two 100% Aussie beef patties, crisp iceberg lettuce, signature cheese, onions, pickles, and that oh-so-delicious Special Sauce, it's a taste sensation that's been winning hearts for over 50 years. It's the burger that needs no introduction, forever memorable and never quite replicated.

The Mac Jr.

For those who want all the Big Mac flavour in a smaller package, the Mac Jr. is about to become your new burger bestie. It's everything you love about the Big Mac in a more compact, single-patty form – perfect for when you're craving that iconic taste but want to keep it light.

Grand Big Mac

And for the true Big Mac mega fans craving an even bigger bite, the Grand Big Mac is the ultimate indulgence. With bigger patties and buns, it's a feast fit for a burger king or queen.

Onion Rings

To complete the Mac Family experience, don't forget to order a side of Onion Rings served with Big Mac Special Sauce. It's the perfect crunchy companion to your burger feast, adding an extra layer of flavour and texture to every bite. It's like the favourite cousin of the burger brood.
