People have a thing with hating on BK. We all know it’s superior. Grow up and admit it. Plus, when you burp after eating BK, it tastes the same. It’s like you eat it twice.

I disagree but respect your opinion
Gonna assume in the US? I used to love BK in the UK, but moved to NZ and it’s garbage tier here.
It is good but the smoky burps suck.
I get one of their impossible whoppers every week and always love them. I’ve been vegetarian for forever and the first time I had the impossible a couple years ago was unreal. It was the first fake meat that seemed 100% like actual meat to me (though I know others feel differently).
You can’t beat the taste of a fresh whopper. Idk how they do it but god damn it’s delicious.
BK has absolutely no oversight of their franchises. Some are good and some are dog shit. The one by me is dog shit so I never have BK.
Depends on your local franchise. The one near me is hot garbage, but the one in the next town over tastea like the BK I remember from childhood.
I agree tho, a whopper is it’s own specific taste that no other fast food burger quite hits, and I happen to like it, lol.
My local BK in the UK is absolutely awful, I have had some nice ones in other places though, I think it’s very hit or miss depending on the location, but when it hits, it HITS
Their fries have always sucked, but their Onion Rings and Chicken Fries make up for it. If everything is done to standards, it’s hard to beat. Burger King has a horrible quality control. Their logistics are a mess. Their business is a mess and prob going bankrupt, but it’s not because their menu blows. They just don’t know to run a business.
Hungry jacks maaaaaaayte
The King reigns supreme. Nothing else comes close.
Can’t argue with your last point.
Based
I was raised on Whataburger and that will always be my fav but I do love that flame broiled once in a while…
Burger King Denmark is gold. Whopper is amazing. I don’t think I’ve even had BK in the USA as I see that’s where you’re at in another comment here so I can’t compare.
Have my upvote for being unpopular. My experiences with BK were pretty bad.
The baconator
this is a really good unpopular opinion. i def agree that burger king burgers are slept on. the only problem i have with them is that their pickles (my favorite topping) literally taste like vomit to me
I definitely agree. But BurgerKing is way overpriced. Much rather get some delicious IN-N-OUT burger instead
Well, you are not wrong
couldn’t agree more
Double Whopper with cheese. My favorite.
Word. Flame-broiled rules.
But Harvey’s uses better beef. 😛
Hear me out, but when Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr was in their peak thickburger era, that one on sourdough was my cure for everything. They still make it but it just isn’t the same.
Hard agree. Depends which BK in town tho.
Texas double whopper, best fast food burger no question
The Whopper is awesome. BK employees tend to be McDonalds rejects. It all depends on how much they ruin it.
Their regular chicken sandwich with cheese, onions, and tomato is the best thing they sell. It’s absolutely terrible for you but it’s so damn good. Too bad the tacos sucked compared to Jack in the boxes.
Impossible whopper is even better
I haven’t been to any fast food burger place in five or so years but remember their burgers are also noticeably bigger than McDonald’s burgers. Also the zesty sauce is a really good dipping sauce for onion rings. But last I was there the onion rings were slimy and greasy and not crispy like they used to be. The BK commercials are also so annoying and make me feel rage.
A double whopper is gods gift to man.
The problem with BK is that they are so inconsistent. Mcd’s has them on that and the fries when hot, but the flame-grilled burger is top notch, just the inconsistency is what kills BK.
I’d say In-N-Out has them beat by a longshot, but I don’t have one near me so I have to agree 🥲
Typically I used to go to BK for the Burger and Maccy Ds for the Fries. But Five Guys, to me, has them both beat.
OP may live near an exceptionally good franchise operator.
I had a whopper once at a highway rest stop that I will remember forever it was so delicious but subsequent whoppers elsewhere didn’t come close to approaching that perfection.
(I had a similar experience at one Popeye Chicken location, also never to be replicated).
When they’re good, they’re good. Especially in Europe. But in the U.S., when they’re bad, they are BOTTOM tier. Not that I really eat fast food anymore.
it’s actually their original chicken sandwich….but you know…whatever
I love the whopper. It sits near the top for me. If Burger Kings quality was more consistent it could be at the top.
In my opinion, Burger King used to be decent, but they’ve been trash for like 20 years.
Maybe it’s just the ones near me and it’s a franchise owner thing.
I agree with the whopper part 100%. I used to also wonder about the BK hate in general- but at this point I fully understand it. The quality of a lot of their other food, esp fries and chicken-based stuff has gone to shit, prices way too high, and every time I order it feels like a big hit or miss. In-person it’s always dirty, something is broken and employees don’t give a shit- or if it’s delivery the prices are even more insane for a hit and miss experience.
As much as a love a good whopper, I go there way less than I would if they hadn’t fallen off so hard.
“Go to the Wiz and select it
Take it off the rack, if it’s wack put it back
I like the Whopper, fxxk the Big Mac”.
Burger King is underrated in my opinion, for me though I just feel like they’re never conveniently located so it gets forgotten about. It’s a unique flavor, the charbroiled burger for me is solid. I love Burger King but understand there are plenty of plenty of people who don’t, and still it bothers me.
Best burger when I was growing up was Hardee’s and BK was a close second. Now? 🤷
I mean… Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock told us this years ago.
I like the whopper, flip the big mac
Not for the $10+ it costs with cheese
Pshht Harvey’s in Canada bud
Burger King > McDonald
No. It’s better than McDonald’s, and it’s better than people give it credit for, but no way in hell is it the absolute best.
Honestly it’s probably the best right now. McDonalds has made their sandwiches so small and so expensive that the Whopper is a goddamn feast in comparison.
The Wendy’s that was near me closed years ago so I haven’t had them in years so I can’t speak on them.
Edit: I always go for the Texas double whopper when it’s available. Bacon and jalapeno and you usually get it freshly made because it’s more of a niche item I guess. They don’t have a bunch ready made.
Too sloppy for me
I’d agree if it’s fresh and from a franchise location that cares about quality. Nothing better than a whopper from a bk that’s as fresh as can be and from a store thats keen on quality
100%
I hadn’t really noticed hate for BK, but even though their Whopper is one of my favorite fast food burgers, sometimes I just crave another. Aside from the Whopper, I really like the Dave’s burger from Wendy’s, the Papa burger from A&W, etc. Also there are some good local/semi-local options near me that I like too (such as Burgerville). There’s an In-N-Out not terribly far from me which I’ve tried once, and I’d say I like it. Also I’ve had Whataburger once when I visited Texas, and I enjoyed that too.
It’s the heavy mayo
Congrats on being unpopular. My local burger kings are eerily slow. I get diarrhea before leaving the parking lot.
And tasting it twice is why I haven’t had one in 2 decades.
But to be fair, I don’t eat fast food anymore because why…..it cost just as much as a normal restaurant.
100% agree with this
Burger Kings biggest issue is consistency.. When fast food was cheap I’d gamble but not at today’s prices..
I used to work at BK and can attest to the whoppers being fantastic.
My new fave is Carl’s jr.
Posting falsehoods in unpopular opinions is a tradition.
BK is trash.
All fast food is trash. But BK is what other fast food companies throw out.
BK is the kind of shitty fast food that would spray paint grill marks onto their burger.
They’re the kind of trash that every other fast food restaurant could take a dump on, and it would only improve their flavor.
BK so nasty, if Karen was a flavor, it would be objectively better than anything BK regurgitates into this world.
Only if you haven’t eaten at Harvey’s or A&W
Only when it is properly executed, in which case it’s #1.
I hate flame grilled burgers. Give me a flame grilled chicken sandwich from Cook Out anyday though.
I definitely prefer Harvey’s as far as a standard burger goes. You get my upvote.
Culvers. Next
There are tiers of fast food restaurants. Burger King is at the bottom of that totem pole and has been for at least a decade.
Any burger from Five Guys, for example, is vastly superior to the Whopper.
Wendys has the best burgers
In india, never had a fast food beef burger but the chicken whopper sucks ass. The veggie potato whopper is better than their chicken. The big mac equivalent here way better than the whopper here.
The flame broiled burger is superior. Problem is BK service is terrible. You can’t get a whopper that wasn’t made an hour ago and microwaved to death.
My friends and I have a rating system for all fast food.
With McDonald’s, 1 out of 4 experiences tastes great. The other 2 are meh and the last 1 is shitty.
BK? 1 out of 7 is great. 2 or three are meh and the other 4 experiences are shitty.
The Great Whopper experience is nearly extinct.
Culver’s…. There’s no contest
Teen burger FTW
I don’t eat fast food often, but that’s one of the most inconsistent chains from what I remember.
Like the employees are shit and the food is bad asf a few times I went
You should watch out for the preservatives they put in it. I think In-N-Out is one of the only or one of the few who doesn’t use preservatives, but I could be wrong.
The smokehouse whopper that’s out now is by far my favorite. I dream of that burger.
This is not unpopular over here. BK and that flamebroil is IT.
If I go there I always get the Bacon King
I’ve been to many Burger King franchises. They all seem to give just the shitty part of lettuce and just the butts of the tomatoes. Burger King could be good but every franchise sucks.
I haven’t been in a clean, well-staffed, competent Burger King since about 1997.
The one near me looks like it was last cleaned around that time.
Idk man Wendy’s works the best for me
Whether or not you like McDonalds obviously varies, but the Big Mac is a unique burger and it should be considered the superior burger for that simple fact.
I used to get the Junior Whopper. Something about Burger King DID make it superior.
Then why do I always feel sick after eating one
I like their burgers per se. Great taste especially for the price. I haven’t had one in a decade or so, though, because their sides all literally taste like cardboard. I am not being metaphorical. That’s the best description I can find for them.
Late 90’s 99c whopper was the shit. I would buy two and put some cheese at home and buy 59c fries at McD. Peak fast food.
In order of greatness.
1) – The Whopper
*(the restaurant has to be on point, some don’t get it right)
2) – Arby’s Beef & Cheddar
*(admittedly, not a burger, add x-tra beef & copious Arby’s sauce)
3) – McD’s Quarter Pounder
*(just an old reliable & goodness that delivers every time)
If you want a big wet burger salad, then yeah.
I’m so hungry from reading this, I’m thinking about getting sone.
It’s a good build, the biggest problem is their meat is too dry, and the amount of care put into making the burgers is wildly inconsistent.
Burger King does great pickles though.
Definitely unpopular. The last time I had one my stomach hurt so bad after. It was swimming in mayonnaise.
Wendy’s is much better. You’re embarrassing yourself.
When made properly, they are good.
BKs tomatoes have always been garbage though.
I love BK. I just never get to eat there since the closest one is 40 miles away
Its too expensive for a fast food burger
Hot patty on an ice cold bun with way too much sauce? I’ll pass thanks.
Agree on the burger, however, its too bad their fries suck.
Carls Junior is far superior.
Around here mate, we call it Hungry Jack’s.
At BK, I do not like the way the cheese is added after. It doesn’t melt or they microwave the whole thing and it gets fucked up. At the one’s I’ve tried, anyway. Also, mayo is added by default and that is risky…sometimes they add 3x what should be on a burger (if added at all). That said, whopper no cheese and no mayo is usually pretty damn good.
Yeah, I agree. It’s what I think a fast food burger would look and tastes like. I order it from time to time.
Better than McDonald’s, but worse than Culver’s
I tried the whopper for the first time last year.
It was delicious.
Actually tho
Their onion rings are better than their french fries
I love Burger King unironically, but god no it’s not lol
I get crucified every time I say this
that new steakhouse whopper is GAS
You’ve never had culvers or Checkers. Burger King is disgusting.
That’s because you never had a Bicky Burger.
Nope. I’m down for the Big Mac
Nope.
Feces on a bun.
Whataburger rules.
I’d agree, except I don’t remember the last time I got a Whopper on a bun that wasn’t eight years old.
Every BK I’ve seen is either out of business, or looks like it’s out of business. Don’t even know where an operating one is located
This is true if your only counting the majors chains. It slays McDonald’s Wendy’s and jack in the box. They are consistent and delicious. Now the good mom and pop places are better but Burger King is still a great place
The BEST burgers I’ve had recently have all came from Food trucks
Yeah in 1994.
Nah Burger Kings are all trash around me. In-N-Out is the top.
The fucking onions are so mixed. It’s either a nice slice, or a fat half an onion that pulls out of the burger when you bite.
BK is….pretty shite. Burgers aren’t that great and the fry game is woeful.
BK is a very inconsistent fast food brand, but when you get a good Whopper I 100% agree.
I agree 100%. It has such a bad name in fast food. But every time I go there I’m amazed. I don’t know where the hate stems from
I love me some Burger King. My issue is whenever I eat it I get such bad indigestion for the rest of the day. So I know if I eat it I’ll be suffering. Anyone have any tips for that?
BK is superior to McDonald’s. BK is NOT superior to Sonic or Culver’s.
Yeah always liked BK a lot more than McDonald’s tbh. Better burgers, better fries, ice cream machine actually works, etc. Not that I eat fast food too often but I’d always prefer BK over McDonald’s and it has always been that way. Especially since they changed up their fries back in the day, those things are delicious imo.
It used to be. All the BKs (3) in my town closed and when I’ve tried Whoppers on the road the quality has been terrible.
A good Whopper beats a good Big Mac by a mile, but I can get a good Big Mac almost always, but a good Whopper is sadly rare. So inconsistent.
I secretly like BK 😂 my entire friend group treats it like it’s nightmare British food and I pretend to agree but I’ll eat a whopper over a Big Mac any day
I’ve never understood why so many people shit so hard on Burger king. Of the old school fast food places it’s probably my favorite place to actually get a burger that I want it to taste like a burger. Sometimes I want a Big Mac, but I don’t consider that a burger. It doesn’t even taste like a burger. It tastes like a Big Mac. But a Whopper tastes like a burger. Nothing at Wendy’s tastes like a burger. I don’t care if they never freeze anything, it tastes like ass.
If you like no flavor.
The whopper is fine but it’s not even a top 5 fast food burger where I live.
“We all know”
Narcissistic much?
No one loves burgers more than me. You are wrong.
Man if they do it the right way hell yeah
Burger King in Thailand used to serve something called a New York Steakburger. It was the best sandwich I have ever tasted! They discontinued it for some reason though.
I used to be in this camp but I had my fist whopper in more than a decade the other day and it seems like BK really leaned into the grilled flavor in their burgers by introducing a bit of artificial smoke/char flavor or something. It was a bit off putting.
I don’t know how to describe BK other than the meat tastes gray.
I always preferred BK and Wendy’s over McDonald’s.
Now that is an unpopular opinion.
