| Seanster's Full Review: Burger King |
After going to the various fast food restaurants around, I finally decided on Burger King as the best place for burgers. Not only do they have great burgers, but they have great fries, and Frozen Cokes, too. I go to Burger King about two times a week. These observations are from my personal experiences and opinions, so, even if you don't like Burger King, I will try to state the facts as clearly and accurately as my experiences with them have shown.
The Sandwiches
Burger King flame-broils their burgers. Now, while this does absolutely nothing to decrease fat, it does, in my opinion, make the burgers taste better. They are usually well-cooked and warm. I like to have my burger plain so I can actually taste the burger instead of the "fixins". Burger King also has their BK Big Fish, which I tolerate, and some various chicken sandwiches.
Side Items
Burger King's fries are excellent. They're not too salty, or soggy, or limp like dead flowers. They taste like there are real potatoes in them. They are usually somewhat crunchy and occasionally they are very hot! Their chick tenders are good, but after a while you get sick of them. They have long, odd shapes, but they are somewhat spicy and are good for an occasional treat. Their onion rings are crunchy and firm, and you can always tell when they're in the car because of their strong onion scent.
Drinks
Burger King sells drinks made by the Coca-Cola Corporation. They sell Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite as their main drinks. They also sell Frozen Cokes and Frozen Cherry Drinks. Now I must say that I'm addicted to Frozen Cokes. That's one of the main reasons I go to Burger King. Frozen Cokes can go very well with a meal. Their cups for the normal Cokes are fairly well-designed. They are thick enough that they keep the drink in and don't have as much condensation on the outside.
Environment
I have gone to many Burger Kings across the nation. The level of cleanliness and service varies from Medium to Excellent. The food usually tastes the same, whether it's in San Francisco, Detroit, or New York City. Burger Kings are usually pretty clean. Some places have very nice Burger King's, while others are pretty mediocre. The people are pretty typical for fast food restaurants.
Flaws
Burger King has some minor flaws (or major flaws from someone else's point of view). First, they don't have any salads. If you're a vegetarian, you're NOT going to like this place. Second, their portions are too small. I usually order "A #2 (Double Whopper w/cheese) plain King-sized with a Frozen Coke" for over $6.00 and I'm still not satisfied when I'm done. The Frozen Cokes are just too small, so I usually end up ordering two large ones to get enough to drink. The final problem relates to the second one. Burger King can be expensive if you're hungry. It's usually a good deal if you eat lightly.
Overall
Overall, Burger King is an excellent place to eat if you have an appetite for fast food. You'd better go somewhere else if you're on a diet or you're a vegetarian, though. But, on the whole, it's my favorite place to eat.
