Steers Wacky Wednesday Prices: What You Actually Get
Steers Wacky Wednesday gets you two flame-grilled Original Burgers for around R69.90, every Wednesday. There is also an online-only version that stretches to four burgers with two large chips for R199.90. The steers wacky wednesday prices are not identical everywhere, and the deal does not include chips unless you order the online one, which catches a lot of people out. Here is exactly what you get, what it costs, and what the add-ons run to.
Wacky Wednesday Price
| Deal | Price | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Original Burgers | From R59.90 to R69.90 | In store and app |
| 4 Burgers plus 2 large hand-cut chips | R199.90 | Online only |
R69.90 is the figure quoted most often and the one Steers has used in its own promotional material. Some branches run it at R59.90 under the #2Nice name. Both are real, which is why you will find different numbers depending on which page you land on.
At R69.90 for two burgers you are paying R34.95 each. Most classic Steers burgers cost more than that on their own, so the saving is genuine rather than a repackaged normal price.
Does Wacky Wednesday Come With Chips?
No. The standard Wacky Wednesday deal is two burgers only. No chips, no drink.
This is the single most common misunderstanding about the deal, and it matters because a burger on its own is not a meal for most people. If you want chips you either add them separately at normal menu price, or you order the online-only version.
| What you want | What to order | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Two burgers, no sides | Standard Wacky Wednesday | From R59.90 |
| Burgers with chips included | Online-only 4 burger deal | R199.90 |
| Two burgers plus your own chips | Wacky Wednesday plus chips added | Deal price plus chips |
Chips prices are on our full Steers menu page, and they vary by portion size.
The Online-Only Four Burger Deal
Steers runs a larger version of Wacky Wednesday through its app and website that is not available if you walk in and order at the counter.
You get four flame-grilled beef burgers, each with a 100 percent beef patty, lettuce, tomato, rave sauce and BBQ sauce, served with two large portions of hand-cut chips, for R199.90.
Worked out per person that is R49.98 each across four people, and unlike the standard deal it actually includes a side. If you are feeding a group rather than just yourself and one other person, this is the better order of the two.
Steers Wacky Wednesday Prices for Cheese, Chicken and Veg Swaps
The base deal is beef, but you can change it.
| Add-on or swap | Extra cost |
|---|---|
| 2 cheese slices, one per burger | Around R15.00 |
| Swap beef patty for flame-grilled chicken | Around R5.00 per burger |
| Swap to a veg patty | Available on both deals |
Adding cheese takes an R69.90 deal to around R84.90, which is where a lot of people looking for the Wacky Wednesday with cheese price end up. Depending on how much cheese you want it’s worth it, as two slices for R15.00 is a steep add-on to the deal price.
Veg patties are available on both the standard and the online-only deal, which makes Wacky Wednesday one of the few South African fast food specials that works for vegetarians without paying more.
Why the Price Is Different at Different Branches
Steers operates as a franchise network, so individual owners set their own promotional pricing within the national framework. That is why you will see R59.90 in one town and R69.90 in another for what looks like the same deal.
Three other things cause the spread you find online.
Old pages. The deal has been running for years and the price has moved. Pages quoting R59.90 may simply be older than pages quoting R69.90.
Other countries. Steers runs Wacky Wednesday in Zambia at K85 and in Zimbabwe as a buy one get one free offer. Those figures sometimes get mixed into South African search results.
Delivery platforms. Uber Eats and Mr D pricing runs above in-store, and promotional deals are not always carried across at all.
Is Wacky Wednesday Still Available?
Yes. Wacky Wednesday has run for years and remains one of the most consistent weekly deals in South African fast food. It is available every Wednesday at participating branches.
The limitation is the word participating. Not every Steers runs it, and the ones that do may price it differently. Steers also describes its promotions as limited-time offers in their own terms, so the format can change. Checking the Steers app before you go is the safest move.
What Can You Get at Steers for R50?
R50 does not stretch to Wacky Wednesday, since even the cheapest version starts at R59.90. It does cover several things from the standard menu though.
The Phanda range is where Steers puts its budget options, and burger and chips combinations in that range sit in the mid R30s to mid R40s. A single burger without sides also comes in under R50 across most of the standard range.
If you have R50 and it happens to be a Wednesday, putting in another R9.90 to reach the Wacky Wednesday deal gets you two burgers instead of one, which is the better use of the money by a wide margin. Full pricing is on our Steers menu page.
Other Steers Specials Through the Week
Wacky Wednesday is the best known Steers deal but not the only one running. The chain rotates promotional meals through its app and website, and past examples have included discounted rib meals, cheese burger and chips combos, and wings deals.
Unlike chains that run a named deal on each day of the week, Steers concentrates its weekly promotion on Wednesday and handles the rest through rotating app offers. So there is no Steers Monday or Friday special to look for in the same way.
Is Wacky Wednesday Worth It?
Worth it if you are eating with someone else, you want burgers rather than a full meal, and you can get to a participating branch on a Wednesday. At R34.95 a burger it is one of the cheapest flame-grilled options in the country.
Less worth it if you are on your own. Two burgers for one user is a lot, and you cannot split the deal into a single discounted burger.
Check the maths if you are adding cheese and chips. Once you add R15.00 for cheese and a portion of chips, the total starts to approach what a standard burger and chips combo costs anyway.
