I think the Grand Mac may be the same as the Grand Big Mac currently being offered in Japan, though it appears we're not getting the Giga Big Mac version which has 4 of the larger beef patties.

GrubGrade reader, contributor, and professional eater Nathan sent over some pictures of his local McDonalds in Keller, Texas advertising two new sizes of Big Mac. The Grand Mac is a beefier Big Mac that features 1/3 pound of beef. Its priced at $4.89.

Theres also a single small patty version of the Big Mac taste with the introduction of the Mac Jr. which is priced at $2.39.

I always wondered why they didn't have a small Big Mac. It should be called Little Mac tho.

IceDoesntHelp · Apr 16, 2016

a third pounder is silly imo.

Samus4145 · Apr 16, 2016

If they were making a single (the jr.), the Grand Mac should have been a triple.

890 calories? That's it? They can do better.

Putting "little" in your fast food's name is just bad marketing.

HomerSimpson-Man · Apr 16, 2016

The Mac Jr. is so simple yet brilliant, can't believe it wasn't done before.

Kyoufu · Apr 16, 2016

A larger big mac can only mean good things.

doctorcdcs · Apr 16, 2016

They have a Mac Jr.? I suddenly want to try it.

And the Grand Mac too.

rtcn63 · Apr 16, 2016

Can they rename the original the Mac Daddy then?

McDonald's marketer reading GAF: *dials number....* "Johnson! I have an idea".

Take the lettuce, off, the secret sauce off and add ketchup and more cheese

The sauce is what makes the big mac so good bro.

TwoDurans · Apr 16, 2016

So in Texas the combo meal will be a Grand Mac with a side of Mac Jr.?

ghostmind · Apr 16, 2016

Double Big Mac says "hi".

ColdPizza · Apr 16, 2016

You can order Mac sauce with any item. Small charge.

Vyer · Apr 16, 2016

is the sauce still secret

It will eventually ask for people to stop calling them that.

jwk94 · Apr 16, 2016

So the Grand Mac has more meat or higher-quality meat?

Yeah, Ive been ordering 'McDouble like a Mac' for years now. I love'em!

I would take a quarter pounder with cheese over a big mac anyday

I can't trust someone with a badly meme'd avatar from 2013.

Rootbeer · Apr 16, 2016

mac jr. seems a bit expensive. shouldn't it be priced more in line with the mcdouble?

McDouble is 1.69 here (ugh... used to be $1 about 18 months ago...), the mac mini should be 1.89 or 1.99 at most.

swearing-circle · Apr 16, 2016

I had a grand big mac in Milan. Was amazing.

I had the Grand Mac, it's pretty good for a McDonald's burger.

I was about to say...

But any excuse to charge extra for a cheeseburger with Mac sauce, I suppose.

This is the calorie police. You're under cardiac arrest.

Lagamorph · Apr 16, 2016

1/3lb is just the Big Tasty isn't it? Just in a single burger rather than 2.

i want a big mac now thanks xia :<

BigJonsson · Apr 16, 2016

1/3 pound angus burger exists in Canada, it's ok

Rafa=FedKilla · Apr 16, 2016

Yeah, I'll drive forty minutes to get a Grand Mac.

Bubba T · Apr 16, 2016

This is actually not a terrible idea and I wonder why this hasn't been implemented years ago. Terrible pricing as always though.

RadioactiveLobster · Apr 16, 2016

Looks to just be like the McKinley Mac (dunno if they renamed it to Denali Mac) that McDonalds sells in Alaska.

It's just a Big Mac with quarter pound patties.

KillGore · Apr 16, 2016

1460 calories lol holy shit

Hazmat · Apr 16, 2016

I just don't understand the Big Mac. I've never eaten a hamburger and thought "You know what this needs? An extra McDonald's bun crammed into the middle."

Bad_Boy · Apr 16, 2016

Why not just get rid of the big mac and make this grand mac the new big mac?

The patties in the big mac are embarrassing.

Oh and call it little mac not mac jr.

AyaisMUsikWhore · Apr 16, 2016

As if the regular mac wasn't a POS already 😒

If this is what's needed to move transactions lol then so be it.

Why would they get rid of the form of their signature sandwich?

Because sometimes change is good. It wouldnt be the first time a franchise has come out with a new and improved meal item. And Its not like the recipe is different, you get more meat. Whats not to love? And if you dont want that much burger... get the mac jr.

And this makes 3 big mac variations. Too much on the menu... just leave it to 2.

DearestJuliet · Apr 16, 2016

A regular big mac w/ extra special sauce is so, so fucking good.

Poodlestrike · Apr 16, 2016

1/3 of a pound is the perfect hamburger weight, imo. Better when it's all in one patty.

I mean, it's McDonalds, so it'll still be shit, but at least they're moving in the right direction.

Slayven · Apr 16, 2016

Their burgers suck

Blablurn · Apr 16, 2016
