Burger King — Restaurant in Lake Zurich

This is rated against other fast food restaurants. Usually the Whopper is good and I like it more when I get it to go and work on it more in my own special pan. I spray the pan once to keep it from sticking, and prevent it from burning. Then I make it sizzle, and smoke it, for a short time and wipe the oil out more as more magic happens. I cannot use a super non-stick pan because when the Whopper is at an angle, it slides like it is on air into the grease pool but I could use a tool to hold it in place if I had no other choice. The pan cannot be too thin because the burger is previously cooked. The special chicken sandwich is why I have to give 4 stars, being that it is not the best these days. It used to be better. Next, I assume the original chicken sandwich is not bad but 1 time they gave me an expired meat and it smelled and tasted bad and I had to throw it out. French fries may not be hot unless I walk inside and ask someone to personally cook new hot fries for me, and sometimes there is a cool guy at the drive-through who remembers me and does that for me. BK has made some changes to breaded chicken providers over the years. They have not all been equally as good. I liked the one before the Ch'King came out. Hot fries are delicious here at Burger King. McDonald's fries probably has more fat oil. BK has larger size fries, more potato inside crust, less oil soaked potato. Burger King used to have good grilled chicken. Now all they have is breaded fried chicken. If you want drive-through grilled chicken in LZ, you could try Bella Luke's and is like a tasty back yard grilled chicken. BK Whopper taste more like a good beefy taste compared to other fast food places such as McDonald's and Wendy's. It is this distinct meaty juice flavor that makes it above the rest. I can't think of a better big chain fast food place than Burger King for a hamburger, and in my case it is the LZ location I have experience with. Whoever is having trouble tasting anything can get a double burger, or just take the vegetables off and throw them in a soup that you can make too at home. I don't even need mayo or my own butter to be able to enjoy this Whopper, but it would still be good that way and I have some rubs but I don't need them. When I apply my angle pan drip finishing touch, it enhances the flavor, and is super clean too. I am lucky enough to have a kitchen I can use. Chicken nuggets are good enough and maybe a little less fat than McDonald's. I just don't want to eat too much deep fried food because it is a health question. I wish I could go to restaurants all the time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but I don't want to end up over-eating. Maybe if I had a big family I could split things up more. It's not really possible to share meals with those who I currently live with. Nothing is perfect on everything, but this place has so many choices including more drink...

The food here is so disgusting it does not resemble other locations and when you try and complain to the gm Penney it get prominently worse. They have no care at all about being clean or accurate in anything they do and her only answer is that she was not trained properly. This gm has no business washing the toilets there let alone be allowed to manage anything. Whoever put this person in charge either has some type of friendship with her or should be fired themselves. I have never in my life come across a more unprofessional person that could care less about any type of customer service or any care what people think of the Berger King corporation or their standards. How nobody in their corporate office has not been informed and this looked into is beyond me. But rest assured this will get addressed and changes Will be made. Anyone that has any business sense that spends 5 minutes with this joke of a BK employee can see she is as unfit as anybody could possibly be. Shame on you Burger King for allowing such historical incompetence....

Some how a #1 with no drink is more money than a #1 with a drink. At McDonald's, subway ext... Other places i thought they just try to to say that they take like 20¢ off everything and call it a deal. For some reason here at bk, a meal is literally less expensive for more food idk why. Pulled up to window told him i want a number 1 with a cock, he looked at the menu then came back and he says i want extra stuff with jalapeños and stuff and calls it a #3, then i repeate and say a #1 with cock and he says $8.50 which is like 75¢ over the $7.25 the sign says. I don't really care what i get or that you charged me a few penis extra. That guy just needs to get the 'just woke up' look off his face and pay attention. Maybe he just wanted to give cock-a-cola away.

By the way, i hate the location, can never find it with gps, on a 2lane rd with 2 more lanes for turning, there's no way you can get there on the first try, gotta go around the block and look and all the other restaurants wile...
