McDonald's has announced a new line of premium burgers: the Sirloin Third Pound burgers. The burgers will be hitting McDonald's menus later this April. Like it's spiritual predecessor The Angus Third Pound burgers, the sandwiches will this time feature sirloin meat rather than Angus.

McDonald's three new burgers will be the Steakhouse, Bacon & Cheese and Lettuce & Tomato. The Steakhouse will feature sautéed mushrooms, white cheddar cheese, grilled onions and a creamy peppercorn sauce. The Bacon & Cheese boasts bacon, red onion, white cheddar, pickles, mustard and ketchup. Finally, the Lettuce & Tomato is made up of red onion, lettuce, tomato, white cheddar, mayo and mustard.

All of the burgers will sport a 1/3 pound 100% sirloin patty. The biggest burger offering McDonald's has since they discontinued the Angus line.

Unlike the fairly expensive Angus burgers, the new line of Sirloin Third Pound burgers will cost about $5 each (prices may vary depending on the franchise). This is due to the many complaints McDonald's customers had about how pricy the Angus burgers became back in 2013.

The Sirloin Third Pounders will be at participating McDonald's locations for a limited time only.

new line of premium burgers

 

[HUELEN10]

No angus, no buy.

 

[DuffDry]

Didn't they take an axe to their menu because it was overcrowded? This will sure help.

 

[SliceSabre]

I am disappointed your tag doesn't involve something about food considering how on top of it you are at telling us about food stuff.


As for the burgers I wonder how how different these will taste compared to the Angus ones which I wasn't all that impressed with.

Angus is a type of cow. Sirloin is a specific part of the cow. It is possible to have it both ways.

Someone post THAT picture

And yes let's make our conplicated menu even more complicated.

 

[BrassMonkey1010]

why do people go to Mcdonalds for $5 burgers? I can get a much better fresh burger from a local joint for that price.

Fast food is all about those cheat days where you get like 8 things off the $1 menu imo.

 

[Man God]

THE KING HAS RETURNED.

No, not shitty McD's "premium" burgers but fast food threads from the best in the business.

 

[TheSeks]

I'll give it a try. The Angus Burgers were the only reason I went to McDonalds if I was feeling fast-foody.

Yep, 2 McDoubles and thats all you need. Half the cost of these premium burgers anyway.

 

[entremet]

They really are doubling down on premium burgers, eh?

People don't go to McDonald's for premium burgers when other chains do it much better.

It's all about McDoubles if you hit up Mickey Ds for your burger fix.

Most people don't know that those local places exist.

Mushrooms on a Burger?

Go home McD, youre drunk.

 

[Digital Snake]

Well...I wonder if this is the same meat as the Angus Burgers...if so, I wonder if they use the Angus seasoning for these as well. Since that was what really differentiated the flavor of the burgers previously.

 

[bigkrev]

I loved the Angus burgers, and basically have stopped going to McDonalds since they killed them. Will be giving these a try.

 

[LyleLanley]

Didn't they offer these before?

 

[smurfx]

i tried the jack in the box sirloin burger and it was so good! too bad it's been discontinued.

 

[SliceSabre]

Angus is a type of cow. Sirloin is a specific part of the cow. It is possible to have it both ways.

Would probably be confusing for some people.

I can imagine some going "Soo uhh...what's the difference?"

Not everybody has "local joints" and cooking can be time consuming.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

How bout just not price jumping the decent items you do have McDonald's (sausage biscuit 30cent jump in 1 week)?

 

[thefro]

Go home McD, youre drunk.

Steak N Shake has an amazing one

And it's $5.49, with fries.

for serious? tell me where there are no local joints, imma come and be the burger savior to these people.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Looks pretty good. Will try out if it comes to a Mickey D's near me.

Whaaaaaat?
Mushroom and Swiss burgers are amazing.

 

[Kriken]

I miss the McDonald's angus burgers, I'll try out the bacon & cheese one and hope it can be a suitable replacement

 

[Dead Prince]

can't compare to the angus burger though when it was made right.

 

[entremet]

Didn't they offer these before?

They did. Small variation, though. The other ones were Angus.

 

[Goro Majima]

I travel to a lot of small towns in Texas and virtually every single one of them has a mom and pop burger joint of some kind. I don't think a single one of them made a burger that was significantly worse than McDonald's because it's not hard to get some cheap fatty burger meat and fry it up fresh for people.

 

[LyleLanley]

Assuming you live in America I do not believe that you don't have at least one local joint that can make a better $5 burger.

 

[The Purple Pill]

Mushrooms, on a burger?

And not quite buying the, "premium steak", I wonder where they got the Stirloin beef from though.

 

[BrassMonkey1010]

from horses of the highest quality.

Mushrooms are delicious on burgers.

 

[Azalean]

Looks good. Would eat.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Do they have any spicy options?

I haven't forgiven them for axing the Jalapeño Double.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Didn't they take an axe to their menu because it was overcrowded? This will sure help.

Their "streamlined" menu right now sucks though.

 

[LyleLanley]

I just realized that they call one of the burgers "Lettuce and Tomato" isn't that almost implied when talking about a burger?

 

[Dead Prince]

don't they sell wrap? could be that

Not for a McDonald's burger!

Mushrooms, on a burger?

Have you never heard of mushrooms on a burger? It's pretty common and delicious.

I'd never order fast food mushrooms though.

 

[hydruxo]

McDonalds burgers freak me out

 

[Starviper]

McD's premium burgers are actually pretty damn good.

And what's with you people and mushrooms? Have none of you heard of Mushroom & Swiss?

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Just had the steakhouse and it was fucking terrible. I was hoping for great things after the fantastic Angus mushroom swiss.

 

[RDreamer]

I'm losing my mind here. Why in the world would mushrooms on a burger be gross? Unless of course you dislike mushrooms to begin with.... But, seriously, mushrooms and cow meats go together better than anything. You put mushrooms on your steak, why not a burger? It's delicious.

 

[BuckRobotron]

This was on the menu last week at a local McD and I decided why not and tried the Steak/Mushroom. It was good and filling (just got the sandwich not the meal). Maybe have another down the line...but McDonalds is usually just about grabbing a $1 coffee through the drive-thru on the way to other things.

 

[entremet]

You never heard of diners?

Also there are other fast food chains with much better premium burgers.

 

[Vanillalite]

They need to be making their menu smaller not bigger though.

 

[loaf of bread]

I wish people would stop assuming everyone has accessibility to great local restaurants.

 

[Spoony Bob]

All day breakfast menu or gtfo

 

[DarthWoo]

I can usually get a giant pile of coupon books for McDonald's every other month or so, which includes multiple BOGO large sandwich coupons. They were great for when the Angus burgers were still around, but lately I usually just end up giving away most of the coupons. Maybe a Bacon Clubhouse once in a while, but the castrated menu just bores me.
