Burger King

I couldn’t check in because there was no business listing. Is everybody who comes here so ashamed as this place has never had a review? I mean this place has been here for as long as I can remember and yes we’re talking multiple decades.
Out of the big 3 (or big 5 if you include Harvey’s and A&W) BK is probably my least favorite of the chains. Their food is really the epitome of unhealthy sub-​par fast food. If I am eating here it’s because it’s open, I’m hungry or I had no other choice.
I came here because my nephew said he wanted a Whopper for dinner. I wasn’t going to try to persuade him to go else where like Wendy’s or McDonald’s. I see him so infrequently I wanted him to have want he wanted. I could eat at BK it’s not great food but it’s passable.
Well we ordered our food and it’s a good thing I had coupons because this is the place I wouldn’t want to eat at and pay full price. Their quality has gone WAY down from what I remember and this particular location is not very clean, the service is slow and the place is overall downright depressing.
There is no real way to properly explain that except to see it for yourself. You have to ask for ketchup as there isn’t a dispenser to serve yourself. I’m surprised they actually let you help yourself to the napkins and that those aren’t controlled as well.
You know when a place starts to «control» things like the condiments or the napkins (Taco Bell at Dufferin and King circa 1994) that the place is worried about patrons taking more than what is considered a fair share. Far be it from me to take extra ketchup home or napkins or salt or pepper.
You know why you can refill your drink a million times? Because that stuff is worthless. Water, CO2, syrup. Yes the lid, the cup and straw are worth more than the liquid inside.
BK still has daily deals. You can replace your fries for onion rings instead for your combo. Recently trips to either Wendy’s or McDonald’s allowed me to swap out my soft drink for a bottle of water (Dasani). I didn’t even ask at BK if I could do that. I should have but I had a feeling the answer would have been no.
While BK doesn’t fry their burgers they are still reheated (microwaved) and overall the veggies and everything else seems so artificial and not fresh. Maybe other locations are actually better or higher quality or perhaps all BK’s have gone downhill?
I was wary of buying 10 chicken «pieces» for 1.79. Honestly something that cheap I simply can’t trust. It’s bad enough I’m venturing into this place but I’m going to try chicken parts that are that cheap? Safe to say this isn’t real chicken pieces but rather reconstituted pieces of chicken.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not a snob when it comes to fast food in fact I consider myself an expert when it comes to it because I’ve had just about everything from chains coast to coast north and south and BK is or has fallen so far down my priority list it’s a wonder that I even went here.
2* = I’ve had better? So have you, believe me.
