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 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

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...

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...

the King of Burgers

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

...meals (sandwiches, fries and soft drink) will cost around £10 although there are usually deals available either in-store or via other promotions (on shopping dockets for example) that can cut the cost even further. I presently have a savings voucher I picked up at Sainsbury's that offers two Whopper meals for £5. VARIETY WITHIN OUTLETS Not all Burger King outlets have a full menu available as some are designed for even faster service and so have a limited range. Just as an interesting aside Burger King in Australia has been operating for many years now as Hungry Jacks and they serve ice-cream sundaes which I have noticed aren't available in England. On the other hand, Burger King here offers free additional condiments at most outlets - though some charge a minimal fee (mayonnaise, ketchup, barbeque sauce) that are not on offer...

Burger King - Dethrowned

Advantages: none on this particular experience
Disadvantages: Rude Staff, Cold food

...Generally if I am going to eat fast food, which isnt that often, then I will go to BK. This week however, I had a bad experience specifically with the one in Picidilly Gardens in Manchester. After ordering my food I had to wait nearly ten minutes for it to be served to me. They werent particularly busy at the time, and I put it down to them making fresh burgers. When it did finally arrive, there was nowhere for us to sit, which was annoying because they have a massive area of with no tables and chairs which looks more like a dancefloor than anything else. When we finally grabbed a seat, i opened my bag to freezing food, further annpying me. I noticed a manager hanging around at the tills, so I took my burger over to him and asked if I could have a fresh one as it was cold. He asked why that was a problem, which left me...

King of Burgers

Advantages: see text
Disadvantages: cold chips?

...I like visiting Burger King once in a while it is a good place to eat out, and if you want a Whopper meal you get your money’s worth for £3.99 you will get a burger, fries and soft drink. I think it’s good value, and it certainly fills you up. I like the customer service provided, when I bought my chips were a bit cold, so I told them and they gave me a full refund and new chips. I was quite impressed because I can remember when I asked them in MacDonalds they didn’t seem that keen and they didn’t give me new ones. However, the prices are not the same everywhere so you me be charged a little less or a little extra. One thing I like about MacDonalds they have set prices so regardless of whether you buy from a small chain or a large one, you will know what the price is. The chain is clean and it...

Burger King

Advantages: Good if in a rush
Disadvantages: Back of House secrets

...Well as much as I like Burger King food, I also know the secrets as I used to work for Burger King and theirs so much you really dont know unless you've worked their. dont get me wrong Burger King food is nice, but if you know how to determine if your food is fresh, or not then theirs no problem i'll eleabarate first on how the Burgers are prepared: BURGERS: So the average burger goes through the broiler/grill, of course their currentely going through aswell, and once cooked the burger and its bun are kept in a steamer, untill they are needed to be prepared, for selling like if the chute is out of a bacon double cheese, they'll make it up, but if everything is A ok they'll sit in this steamer for a holding time of ten minutes, by which time they SHOULD be thrown away. THE CHUTE The burgers in the Chute ok heres the deal...

Review of Burger King

The King of all Burgers

Advantages: Great Burgers
Disadvantages: Dirty?

...I have spent a week researching this opinion, trying out burgers and chips, seeing what the service is like and generally comparing McDonald's and Burger King to decide who really is the best. I can say now that I have come to a conclusion, but that comes later! I must say here that neither of them were too bad, but somehow they both seemed to lack on some of my criteria, but it's time to get to work and decide who really is the champion of the fast-food restaurants according to my tough judgement! On Entry... As you enter my local BK, you are greeted by a menu and a huge sign that tells you how much better they are than McDs. It is in a good location, and easy to find, but it doesn't smell fantastic and the tables are laid out in an almost impossible way! At McDs, you also get a menu as you walk through the door, but before...

Review of Burger King, Edinburgh

King Of Burgers

Advantages: Good service, quality and variety
Disadvantages: More expensive than other chains

...I hardly ever eat fast food, but when I do I alwys try and make it Burger King. Their burgers are the nicest I have ever tried and are bigger and fresher than other chains burgers. They are cooked over flames so the ft has a chance to drip away meaning they do not swim in grease and ahve a much better flavour. The fillings are also a lot fresher and there is usually more than in other places. The variety of food is very good with Chicken also being cooked over flames rather than in a fryer. They usually have special offers on too. I would definately recommend Burger King to anyone who has never been before. Not only is the quality higher, choice wider and service fast and friendly, they are also a British brand so you get to support the British economy by eating there....
