McDonald’s has temporarily brought back what the ubiquitous fast-food chain describes as “everyone’s favorite sandwich.”
The Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder with cheese began its limited run on July 10, Fox Business reported. The sandwich will only be sold “while supplies last” — so time’s already running out.
The sandwich consists of a “100% fresh beef quarter pound patty, two slices of melty American cheese, thick cut applewood smoked bacon, juicy Roma tomatoes, shredded lettuce, smoky sauce and a toasted sesame seed bun.”

The fancy burger has 680 calories.
It was first offered as a temporary choice in November 2022.
Fox Business noted that McDonald’s periodically rolls out temporary items to add to its staple items such as the Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, Chicken McNuggets and Egg McMuffin.
The chain’s annual worldwide sales are about $75 billion.

Despite the sheer volume of store locations, the current economic climate has McDonald’s rolling out a $5 Meal Deal to compete with other price-conscious chains.
The meal features your choice of a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, a four-piece Chicken McNuggets, small fries, and a small soft drink.
