South central Ohio residents, get ready for a massive new addition to your local McDonald’s menu.
The fast-food giant has officially announced the nationwide launch of its Big Arch Burger, touted as the company’s biggest and boldest burger yet. Starting March 3, 2026, this premium sandwich will be available at participating locations across the United States, including Ohio’s 617 McDonald’s restaurants. The rollout comes after successful testing in international markets like Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, where it has earned rave reviews from fans.
The Big Arch Burger features two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of melted white cheddar cheese, crispy onions, slivered onions, shredded lettuce, pickles, and a tangy new Big Arch Sauce that blends mustard, pickle, and sweet tomato flavors. All of this is served on a toasted bun topped with sesame and poppy seeds. According to McDonald’s, the burger is designed as a “love letter to fans who simply can’t get enough,” emphasizing its substantial size and premium ingredients. With an estimated 1,057 calories, it’s positioned as a hearty option for those seeking something larger than the classic Big Mac.
For Ohioans, the Big Arch will be accessible at locations throughout the state, from Cleveland to Cincinnati and into south central areas like Chillicothe and Portsmouth. Pricing will vary by restaurant, but early reports suggest it could range from $8 to $11, making it a premium item compared to standard menu offerings. McDonald’s has not announced specific promotions or deals tied to the launch, but the burger will be offered for a limited time only, encouraging customers to try it while available.
This introduction aligns with McDonald’s ongoing efforts to refresh its menu and appeal to burger enthusiasts. In Ohio, where fast-food options are plentiful, the Big Arch could become a local favorite, especially given the state’s high number of McDonald’s outlets, ranking fifth nationwide. Residents in south central Ohio can check the McDonald’s app or website for participating locations and any potential app-exclusive offers.
As always, menu items are subject to availability, and prices may differ based on local market conditions. For the latest updates, visit your nearest McDonald’s or the official website.
