Because there's a near-by Burger King, it gets more of my business than it might otherwise; but my own personal experiences have been so much better than some of the reviews I'm reading here, I'm a bit puzzled.
I don't give 4 stars easily. If it's going to be a fast food night, I lower my expectations a bit. It's not going to be Galatoire's or the Four Seasons; but friendliness is the same wherever it is, and I've always found the staff at the Vicksburg Burger King to be courteous and efficient, better than I find at most burger joints. I almost always use the drive-through window.
There are establishments nearby this Burger King that aren't strictly fast food, but surely, if you don't want a big-chain burger joint, nearby you might try the Gumbo Pot, el Sombrero, or Atami Japanese Grill. Also close-by, Popeye's has the best red beans and rice and chicken tenders in the area, and excellent as Popeye's food is, it comes out quickly, even though the chicken isn't fried until the order is placed. Whataburger, nearby, pretends to be fast food, and even though some of its burgers are good, you might wait 45 minutes to an hour--not what you want on a road trip or with over-tired, cross, young children. There are other burger joints within a few blocks, a Wendy's, a Sonic, and a MacDonald's nearby, as well as a Subway, aTaco Bell, and a Newk's. These are all relatively inexpensive places.
I'd say The Anthony , Anchuca, and, for lunch, M-F only, the Main Street Market are among my favorites in Vicksburg; and the best fried green tomatoes with crawfish sauce anywhere are at a place called the Klondike, which is so shabby on the outside I almost didn't go in. The inside is decorated with old farming implements. It's a perfectly safe environment for children, though I understand it gets rockin' on Friday and Saturday nights.
There's plenty of good food in Vicksburg. I hope this review will encourage you to...
Read moreI am a local at this location and every time I go here there is a problem. It does not matter if it is evening, morning, or afternoon. The service is ridiculously slow. As someone else stated there is usually one person working drive-thru and one person at the counter. For that reason, the counter person never takes more than one order at a time. Then they wait for that person's order to be made, they bag it, give it to them and then they take the next order. One day right after they started the hot dogs, I waited inside for over 15 minutes. And when my order came up, I had to be the one to tell the counter person that it was ready. The staff is not attentive to guest needs and staff never appears to be in a good mood. No one seems to be working together or communicating. There is obviously strife between management and staff. Issues also persist whether I am at the drive-thru or the dining room. The only reason I continue to use this location is because I love the food (when it's done correctly) but this is the only location in Vicksburg. So many of us don't have a choice. They should really do something about the staff and management at this store. It is getting worse and it is ridiculous. And they only care about their time looking good, I guess for the corporate office. Because they love to take your money and then ask you to back up behind the window so their time will start over. I absolutely HATE this location. But what can you do when there is not another Burger King...
Read moreStopping through for quick service as we are traveling home to Florida,and didn't get very accurate service. Ordered a kids nugget meal asked for 6,was told it came 4 10 or 20. I indicated again a kids meal. Then was asked if he wanted applesauce or a cookie neither in which they had so why offer it. Asked for ranch which we did not get. Also asked for a spicy chicken jr sandwich add cheese and was asked if I wanted it grilled or fried. It only comes one way. Soda machine ONLY had Coca Cola.no other options. Everything was Grayed out. Order number was called. How do we know the order number if it wasn't given to us. Oh that's right look at your reciept it's up to you to figure it out. Was missing the Spicy chicken sandwich add cheese. Chicken sandwich came on the wrong bun and no cheese. Chalk that .25 up for an upcharge. Hash browns were on the floor under the table smashed in from breakfast I'm not one to complain,but I have worked fast food before and have dealt with rush hour.and busy hours in which if I didn't know how to do my job I was sent home. I did not bring the small issues up because there was no point,To be ridiculed? No just asking for what I paid for. this place needs a more professional team.Ones that possibly know what they are doing with a smile and a thank you...
