Quick Answer: The Cheeseburger costs $3.39 on its own (290 kcal), with combo prices from $6.77 to $7.97 depending on size.
This is the plain Hamburger plus a slice of melted American cheese, same flame-grilled beef patty, pickles, mustard, and ketchup on a sesame seed bun, just with cheese added on top. It’s the smallest step up from the base burger, more of an add-on than a redesign.
For $0.50 more than the plain Hamburger, you get the cheese layer without changing anything else about the sandwich, same toppings, same bun, same basic flavor with a creamier finish.

My Honest Take
The cheese adds 40 kcal and bumps sodium up by 220mg compared to the plain Hamburger, worth knowing if you’re deciding between the two. Protein also ticks up slightly (15g vs 13g), a small trade-off for the extra flavor and creaminess the cheese brings.
At $3.39, it’s still one of the cheapest items on the menu, a reasonable default if you want a basic cheese burger without stepping up to anything with bacon or specialty sauce.
