Oh my lord, above ! OK, so let's start with 'the people who know me' know I love food. But lately I've crucified mcD because despite being the go-to burger place for many, let's face it, it's rubbish. Rubbish rubbery food that looks NOTHING like the pictures used to advertise them, they score absolutely 0/10 on service,it's just beyond pants ! Tense atmosphere while queueing as you see a hundred fkin Uber drivers barging in front of you, service is non-existent. Hate mcD However, my boy and I decided to tap up a Burger King today after a 10 hour fishing sesh, and holy crap was it good. And not just good. I mean GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD ! Now, if you're a regular McD kind of guy, read on. Let's start with the menu. Lush. So many varieties of Burger to choose from. We had the bacon BBQ Stacker king box. 2 flame grilled patties, topped with golden onion rings, crispy bacon, a touch of cheese sauce and finished with a drizzle of BBQ sauce. Stop right there. WOW. what a Burger. Absolutely delicious to the extreme. The BBQ and cheese sauce just add another flavour dimension to the beef burger, it was incredible. 9.9/10. Loses .1 of a point cos I could've swallowed 3 of em. Not the biggest burger on the menu but sooooo delicious. Next up we both chose the bacon ceasar loaded king fries. Absolutely amazing. A box of fries, loaded with runny cheese, crispy bacon sprinkles and a gorgeous ceasar dressing drizzled on top. 9.9/10. Loses .1 point cos with the 3 burgers I could've eaten I could've smashed 3 boxes of these. But, holy crap they're good. REALLY GOOD. And you also get a choice of 3 chilli cheese bites or 4 onion rings. I chose the rings, my boy got the bites. Onion rings on point, dry, not covered in oil or grease, delicious. But the star of the show, those chilli bites. Jesus they are absolutely packed with flavour. Gooey cheese running thru them, every bite is a taste sensation. They should come in a bucket with 60 of them in there. Probably one of the most delightful delicious awesome things I've ever eaten. They don't score out of 10, they're off the frikkin scale. Honestly if you're like a regular makkie man, treat yourself. And finally, the choc shake. Thick. Velvety, cold, delicious. This choc shake tastes like a hundred Cadburys buttons melted down and mixed with gorgeous ice-cream. The chocolate taste is like no other. What a job Burger King have done. The place we fish, we pass 2 mcD on the drive home. This Burger King is 10 mile in the opposite direction but I can absolutely guarantee that we'll NEVER eat that mcgarbage ever again and I'll go the 10 mile out of my way to grab a BK. Never mind the petrol. I'd crawl 10 miles just to lick the chilli bites poster in the window. Burger King.... on point. Nailed it. The benchmark to which all other burger places should be measured. And any mcfranchise folk reading this, do yourselves a favour, go try a real...
Read moreOh dear, I pulled into this venue, due to the traffic kaos caused by the poor traffic planning that has made retail world a nightmare at peak times.whats that about, seriously, get your act together! I quickly became aware of why I normally go to McDonald's across the road and why Burger king is the poor relation and is not king! Wow, how expensive? 2.49 is their start price for fries! No free sauces, I think they were 30 pence a portion. I paid something like 1.49 for a basic burger, a meat pattie, so thin, I struggled to imagine how it passed through the broiler intact. The miniscule amount of sauce, did nothing to take away the dryness of the burger buns that seemed to be have the dryness and texture that indicated they would survive a nuclear holocaust and so head there if Putin starts a war. The dry buns will likely still be intact, but toasted and not touched by vermin. Honestly, the staff were also refusing counter service, directing that the touch screens were used. However, they are not user friendly. Perhaps they were saving their energy to clear over filled bins....urmm no! Best advice....head to Maccy D's across the way. Much better value for money. Sorry, but that's my opinion. I was really hungry, but have to say, found it difficult to eat...see pics. I didn't order plain BTW, that's the...
Read moreAbsolutely shocking, we placed our order and I went to use my Defence Discount Card (armed forces discount) which I’ve used at other burger kings to be told that they don’t take the defence discount card, then went to get the drinks from the machine while we waited for our food, the machine absolutely stunk like it hadn’t been cleaned since they installed it, then when we got our food after waiting for 15 minutes it wasn’t only stone cold, half of the order was wrong, and then when I took back what was wrong to change it she said I would have to wait while they cooked some more or I could just keep the food they had given me which was wrong, I waited for them to cook what I had actually ordered and saw it get slid down the rail thing and while waiting for them to give me it they took someone else’s order and then gave him one of the things I was waiting for meaning I had to wait even longer for the correct food while they cooked another one of the burgers as they had just gave the one for me to someone else and then by the time they had done that the others I was waiting...
