Burger King

Advantages: Ermm, convenient, cheap
Disadvantages: Poor food, poor drinks, poor service!

...learn, don’t buy food from Burger King. I suppose the problem is that they are so convenient. I do a lot of travelling by rail and there is a Burger King at all the major railway stations I travel through, and with all the delays on the rail network I often find myself getting rather peckish waiting for my train. I find myself drawn to the convenience of Burger King, a whole meal I can take with me onto the train (should it ever arrive!) for only ...
...somewhat limits my choice at Burger King. I can choose a Veggie Whopper or, erm a Veggie Whopper! They sell a spicy beanburger,m but this isn’t strictly vegetarian as it’s cooked on the same skillet as the meat burgers. What’s the problem with that? I hear you cry, well nothing if you don’t mind meat juices all over your food. For most of you that’s not a problem, but for me, it rather puts me off, so Veggie Whopper it is (it’s ‘warmed’ in the microwave, ... Read review

Advantages: Convenient, good food (especially chips), good selection.
Disadvantages: Expensive, variable prices. Not good on small things such as packaging, straws etc.

...course referring to McDonalds, for Burger King is firmly thrashed by the greasy, overweight giant from across the Atlantic. So what is that based on? Well I suppose I’m a fan of fast food and needless to say my waistline is expanding rapidly. I concede that I usually visit McDonalds, KFC or a local chippy for my daily (oohps I meant annual) intake of cholesterol. However I visit Burger King regularly and have developed a number of opinions ...
...giants. Walking into Burger King one is immediately struck, and duly impressed, by the large selection of food on offer. The “Big King” is perhaps the most hyped attraction, but you can also purchase a “Whopper”, a “Giant Whopper”? (I don’t think its called that, but I’m having one of those rather irritating and invariably alcohol-induced memory lapses, or perhaps it is the aforementioned Big King?), ... Read review

Advantages: flexible menu
Disadvantages: full of all the naughty stuff

...lot of other opinions on Burger King already, but I just couldn't resist having my say. As you will know if you have read my opinion on Gillette Satin Care shave gel (and if you haven't, why haven't you?) I am very hairy. And now I also have to confess that I am fat. (And how did she get herself married you ask? Well that is for another opinion at another time). The reason I am fat is because I am a sucker for fast food, especially fast food of the ...
...doing things in moderation. And Burger King is especially designed for people like me – after all they do call their number one burger a Whopper! I would hardly call that moderate. FLEXIBLITY OF MENU Yes, it is true, other fast food outlets have burgers, fries and soft drinks, they have shakes and ice-creams and uncomfortable chairs that they like to bolt to the floor just a bit too far away from the table (to accommodate the girth they are ...

Advantages: Cheap Food
Disadvantages: Not as good as Mc Donalds

...for the last 20 years, Burger King is a fast food chain that has established itself here in the United Kingdom as, well as many other countries of the world. ***SO IS THE FOOD ANY GOOD?*** The food in Burger King in my opinion isn’t too bad. Basically the same rule applies ‘You get what you pay for”. A meal containing a large burger, chips and a soft drink isn’t bad for £3.50. Though there isn’t any guarantees of the ...
...always found when eating at Burger King, is that when I came out from having my meal I still feel hungry, chips are also heavily salted so that you get a larger drink and so pay more. Prices are though a little more expensive than MC Donald’s which offer a better service and better food, a downfall of Burger King. ***WHAT’S THE SERVICE LIKE?*** As I have said at the beginning of my opinion, service is although not the best . Service ... Read review

Advantages: Spacious, uses less packaging than McDonald's
Disadvantages: Food doesn't taste as nice as at McDonald's, unpleasant staff, see update at top!

...went back to the same Burger King after a long clothes buying session in the nearby shops, ready for the kids going back to school. This time, the staff were extremely rude and ignorant. Once again, they had no veggie burgers, but after much huffing and puffing and consultations with managers, decided it would probably be alright to put a bean burger in for the same price. Then, they said they couldn't take payment by cards, became fairly affronted ...
...way we're going to *that* Burger King again. P.S. We are boycotting McD's too now, after rumours of chicken fat in milkshakes and cooking veggie burgers in the same fat as the meat ones! JULY 1st UPDATE ~ We ate at the same Burger King yesterday, only to find that it wasn't half as good as last time. There appeared to be only two staff on duty on the counter, with half the place 'closed for cleaning' with no cleaning going on. There were no ... Read review

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: does not taste nice

...When I was kid I was always lured to the playground of McDonalds, with phrases like “should of got a watch from McDonalds”, and toys like those Frisbee UFO happy meals plus the train tables to have your 5th birthday party on. Oh McDonalds was heaven all those 18 years ago. Then I grew up and my taste buds matured with the adulteration and emergence of Burger King and I realised Ronald McDonald was just too friendly with Gary Glitter for my liking. THE MACY D EXPERIENCE Walking down the high street at midnight in a half-drunk state, you spot that glowing M sticking out in the distance, its like heaven is here and God is calling you in. You see the light and think I will follow, I must walk with God. THE ENTRANCE At the double doors where push and pull are a contradiction of terms in a chaotic state you manage... Read review

Advantages: Good selection, good food, good service, good prices..
Disadvantages: Small outlets in slightly inconvenient places. Only "good".

...If you’re somebody with exotic (and expensive) taste buds then you are probably reading the wrong opinion, because this is the third (and probably final) of my opinions on fast-food, to see how the Colonel’s chicken joints shape up to the more traditional beefy delights of McDonald’s (4 stars) and Burger King (3 stars). Now it might go without saying, but Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) isn’t exactly Szechwan or Peking, it is distinctly Kentucky. What on earth is that meant to mean? I mean it is convenient, fattening and of course tasty. Obvious? Well there you go then, still 20 words short of the minimum. ~The Long March~ The institution that we know as KFC began in 1952 when Colonel Harland Sanders’ first sold the franchise to the KFC “special recipe”. Over the relatively few years since... Read review

Disadvantages: fatty and high in calories

...always been excellent in all branches I have visited in my life. I have been to some on motorways, some in Northampton, London, Hertfordshire, Staffordshire and Manchester and comparing the service to Mc Donalds and Burger King I have never had to complain ever. They always serve you with fresh food, including fries. They always listen to your order and get it correct. There was only one time I remember when they forgot to give us something. They always serve you in turn, quickly and efficiently. If they keep you waiting they are always apologetic to their customers. They have always charged correctly and given the correct change too. I have often been given the wrong items, charged incorrectly or given the wrong change in Mc Donalds and Burger King. They also have a bigger choice of a menu than Burger King and Mc Donalds. You...
