Idk why everybody hates on burger king. They have probably the best cheap fast food burger of the major national chains and also some of the better fries as long as they're fresh. Maybe I've just always lived around good burger kings, idk
This is where I'm at it's like 13$ for an impossible Whopper and a large fry at my local BK and it's good. It's not the best meal to eat but for 13$ I'm satisfied with a vegan meal no less
We literally had Impossible Whoppers today because they’re good, can be veganized (reasonably), and we lost our local BKs. There’s one near a store we visit every few months. Puts a hard limit on the amount we can eat.
From my experience it seems like BK chains can vary wildly depending on management- growing up I loved it, but in later years in different areas I never had good luck. It’s also the only franchise I’ve seen have a location go out of business (besides Long John Silvers).
A fucking whopper with just lettuce, onions on it, + chicken fries and a Dr. Pepper.
Fuck that is some goooood shit
I don't really like any burger and fries fast food, but when I am in one of those weird moods I tend to do Burger King. The spicy chicken sandwich is okay
Meh I've just been to very few good Burger Kings. I'm sure they're more common out there somewhere, but outside of maybe literally only one I liked, they all had incredibly bland and disappointing food
I like most fast food to be honest, they're I would guess engineered to taste good. But I seldom eat it though, because of health reasons, and it's become kinda expensive to eat bad good. For the same price, I can go to a local restaurant and have a good quality lunch.
I'm gonna agree! I really hated BK like 10 years ago because of pricing and they took away chicken fries, introduced nuggets that were awful and just generally worse food it seemed. I tried them a bunch last year just to see how they were doing and I gotta say the fries were improved, the chicken fries are back and even the nuggets tasted better now. The burgers were always decent and not much change. Add in the app with the offers and discounts and the pricing is no worse than the rest, sometimes it's cheaper now.
Just to make it known, when I say good I'm talking about fast food good not that it's impressive. If anything it's just comfort food since we did have this or McDonald's from time to time growing up. Fridays was the one day were cooking didn't happen, and if we didn't get pizza or Chinese, it would probably be this (my father hated it haha).
Same. The one by me has been great.
They aren't my favorite but I started going there regularly after this:

Might be a country by country thing, but in the UK a burger king whopper is genuinely not a bad burger for the price
I actually find myself seeking one out on occasion
My only issue with BK is you can burn hours later and it still tastes like BK. It was good when I ate it, but gross hours later.
Something weird about that flame grilled flavor
I have the same issue. I think they add the flame grilled flavor through the magic of additives and it probably flavors your stomach for hours
Yes. Americans somehow managed to fuck up multinational chain brands. I don't know how, they basically invented them.
Disclaimer: I've never had one, it's just every single American friend I have comments about how McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Coca Cola, etc. is better in Mexico.
How much is it?
Depends where you get it from because half of them seem to be in train stations and have increased prices because of that.
IIRC the burger is about a fiver from a regular place though, little bit more than a sandwich meal deal from Tesco, but not five guys prices or anything
You mean the Royale with cheese?
Maybe 1998 Burger King. Possibly even 2004. But current Burger King is soggy bullshit that you're lucky of it's even warm.
Or as dry as the wizard fingers that have been cooking on the gas station rollers for 16 hours too long.
I boycotted Burger King after their annoying ass commercial jingle made me want to kill myself.
🎵 Whopper whopper whopper, whopper 🎵
Beee kaaay have it your way.
Yeah, it rivals the old Geico jingle.
Whopper, whopper, whopper, whopper
The whopper is cheap and tasty 'round my area, and leagues better in both price and taste compared to McD
I like the whopper (when they don't overcook the meat or use wilted veggies) but that's about all I've ever gotten from them.
I didn't expect an entire comment section defending Burger King lol
Why? It's relatively cheap and tastes good. Well, as long as you're not in the US it seems.
I'm from the UK and it's not the worst fast food I've had. KFC is the really fucking dire brand here.
Yeah, I think it’s an issue with the franchisees in the US. I give mine another try about once a year, and the past three times my burger patty has been below room temperature, and the produce noticeably old. The McDonald’s near me is just consistently mediocre, which is better.
Burger king is decent where I live, but I mostly go there because of their soft serve ice cream haha
Jokes aside, I prefer Burger King to McDonalds, and I think it's because McDonalds came under a lot more scrutiny in my country and had been forced to tone down their menu and marketing. Maccy D's were the ones who rapidly expanded in the UK and also made bank from Happy Meals and the child market, so of course they'd have all eyes upon them.
McDonalds are trying to make their menus and advertising appear healthier, whereas BK are like "look at this sexy dripping quarter pound whopper, you know you want it you fat fuck!"
And that's why I can order a Bacon Double Cheeseburger XL from my local BK and feel like I'm actually eating a burger, whereas the equivalent in a McDonalds costs 30% less but is half the size, doesn't taste flame grilled and looks like it was rapidly cobbled from preprocessed shit that's less than 32% meat.
The head might be heavy but the stomach, much more.
You want the best burger you can get for the cheapest price?
You go to in-n-out
That burger in Iron Man definitely should have been In-n-Out to be believable, no 00s hip LA playboy billionaire would have settled for anything less and Burger King in there was like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Here's how the scene should have played:
Tony Stark is late for the press conference because there was a long line at the In-n-Out on the way from the airport, even though there were only a couple of cars in line at the BK across the street, BK was not an option!None of my gay friends care, but I don’t eat there because the ownership is right wing crazy Christian anti-gay
That price does not include airline tickets to travel halfway across the US
Facts. In-n-out is for rich people with good taste
