The king of burgers?

Advantages: Good food, quality
Disadvantages: Price, urban myths

...I admit that for some reason, I seem to be addicted to everything that I shouldn't be. I have tried & failed to have an addiction to fruit and vegetables, so I have settled for my addiction to chocolate and junk food, and convince myself that when I go to somewhere like Burger King, because of the lettuce etc on burgers, it is actually healthy! Burger King is possibly the only chain restaurant where I have found the taste of products to be consistent. Every Burger King I've been in, apart from one in Scotland, has tasted the same, which I like, as I know then what I'm getting when I order it! Burger King is slightly more expensive than other similar fast food places, but in my opinion, slightly better. a meal costs aprox £4, but there is the options to have meals as regular, large or supersize, which comes with what looks like...

Review of Burger King

the King of Burgers

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

...OK I have seen that there are a 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 burger variety and unlike other svelte Burger King eaters I have seen, I am not good at 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...

Review of Burger King

Beany burgers for vegetarians

Advantages: Good taste and quality
Disadvantages: Seems to contains a long list of minor ingredients

...INTRODUCTION I have previously reviewed vegetarian sausages, and I thought it would be nice to review the burger in the same Tesco range. I had a choice between mushroom burgers and vegetable burgers and plumped for the latter on this occasion. Maybe Ill do the mushroom burgers another time. In any case, I was quite heartened by the comments I got on my veggie sausage review; it seems I'm not the only non-vegetarian who likes this kind of thing. PACKAGING AND REECYCLING A green cardboard sleeve with picture of a cooked burger (uncannily accurate to the real deal) contains a black plastic tray covered in film. 2 burgers are 180g in weight. PRICE These cost me £1.29 in a Tesco Metro in Wimbledon. INGREDIENTS There are lots and lots of small amounts of ingredients in this. Potato, chick pea, onion, cannellini...

Review of Tesco Vegetarian Bean Burgers

The King of Burger Bars

Advantages: great burgers,
Disadvantages: the staff are a bit silly sometimes and mess around with their collegues and waste your time

...It has to be said that Burger King beats all the high street burger bars in my book. Their burgers are flame grilled, they are juicy and tender and they are huge in size.What more could you want from a burger. They fill them with salad and mayonaise and you can even have one made especially for you if you do not want something in them like myself. I am not keen on raw onion so I always ask them for a whopper without onion and I get a freshly made one. My burger is also always piping hot when I receive it. Another good thing about Burger King is I am always full from my meal, where as if I went to the Wimpy or McDonalds I always need an extra burger to fill me up. The reason I generally like Burger King more is their Burgers are much more filling and tasty. I am not a McDonalds fan or any other burger place fan for that...

Review of Burger King

Premium burgers with a premium price tag

Advantages: Good quality food, excellent choice of vegetarian options
Disadvantages: Quite expensive for what it is, service a bit impersonal

...INTRODUCTION Ms Larsbaby had her brother and nephews visiting her and we had to find somewhere to eat in Wimbledon to match all our tastes. She had been to the Gourmet Burger Kitchen there before and thought it was good. I have seen various incarnations of this kind of upmarket burger bar and have been curious for a while to try one, so I agreed with her choice. THE RESTAURANT The branch of Gourmet Burger Kitchen I am reviewing is located down Wimbledon Broadway, which is a five minute walk from Wimbledon station. So I think this counts as London, non? As we entered, there were a lot of small tables for 2 arranged in several configurations, depending on how many people were dining in a group. Our particular group consisted of 5 people and so we had three of these tables pushed together. To the right...

Review of Gourmet Burger Kitchen, London

It is kinda tasty at Burger King

Advantages: Very Quick, Food tasted good, clean restaurant
Disadvantages: expensive for what you get

...Where I live, unfortunately the Burger King closed down because it wasn't on the best retail park in town and slightly out of the way. It was either have a choice of many including McDonalds, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC or travel a little to the nearest Burger King, and unfortunately not many people did which forced the diner to close. However on a little journey and stopping at the Moto services on the way, it turns out that the fast food available was Burger King. Not having one for absolutely ages but remembering that they semed to taste better than McDonalds we decided to take the plunge and opt for fast food. You never really have queues at these places in service stations so we were able to walk up to the counter straight away and get served efficiently. We were served by a young man who was very polite and courteous, who seemed...

Review of Burger King

Burger me

Advantages: relatively cheap
Disadvantages: quality & toilets

...After my trip to Ground last month (see other review- v good burger) I seem to have got a bit of a burger head on. We were in town at the weekend & (I really should have know better) saw the burger shack by smollenskys and popped in for a quick bite Smollensys have 4 of these burger operations, they are pitching themselves aginst GBK & the rest of the expensive burger market. they do a wide range of burgers like blue cheese,BBQ,chicken peanut satay, all for £6-7.50. for some reason they chose to serve pasta which i can only imagine is frozen coming from a burger kitchen & burger chefs.other oddities included wet fries (with gravy) & Tiramisu ?? I recognised some dishes from the normal smollensky menu the week before-sweet shilli chicken & the peanut butter cheesecake to name 2. Its located on Charring cross road just past...

Review of Smollensky's Burger Shack

Now that IS a tasty burger.

Advantages: Healthy, quick service.
Disadvantages: Pricey.

...Boyf and I have discovered a fabulous discount shopping village and if you are good I may let you into the little secret but you must promise not to all go there at once and buy all the bargains. Anyway, before hitting the shops we were in need of some sustenance and opted for The Fine Burger Co. As with most food places these days they had one of those ?Wait here to be seated? podiums at the front with a member of staff who, as it was fairly empty, showed us to a table straight away. We opted to sit inside the restaurant, although as the restaurant was in a shopping complex, ?outside? just meant you were sat near to people streaming past you. The tables here were on green Astroturf instead of regular tiles like inside. Within a minute of being seated we were handed the menu which was printed like a newspaper sheet...

Beefy Burgers by Birds Eye

Advantages: The burgers do not shrink
Disadvantages: lots of water and fat on the tray

...I love beef burgers but I really hate the cheap brands from the supermarket as they taste like cardboard. I don`t know if anyone has noticed but the price of beef burgers seem to be going up these days so I tend to either buy fresh burgers or when on offer Birds Eye beef burgers. The burgers come in a cardboard box, on the front of the box is the Birds Eye logo and there is a picture of a beef burger in a roll with chips in the background. Also on the box it says that per burger provides - 110 - Calories 0.6g - Sugars 7.9g - Fat 3.3g - Saturates 0.4g - Salt There is no artifical colours, flavours or preservatives and you can BBQ from frozen. Inside the box the beefburgers are covered in a plastic wrapper, I usually have to use a knife to open the wrapper. Cooking Instructions Gas mark 8 - Place...

Review of Birds Eye Original Beef Burgers

Burger King

Advantages: Cheap, fast food
Disadvantages: busy at peak times

...I use Burger king as an alternative to Macdonalds sometimes if its to busy. The burgers are tasty, but i often find there is too much dressing etc on them. The fries are really nice and crispy too. The good thing is there are value meals which come as a set price so you dont need to order it all seperately!! They also do kids meals which come with a toy, however I find the toys from Burger king are not as good as the Macdonalds toys, but the kids seem happy enough. It also becomes extremely busy at peak times, so avoid these if possible...
