How did it come to be like this? When I was young, they were supposed to be the good fast food alternative.

I decided to stop there on the way home and i got some chicken nuggets, a double cheeseburger, and they had mozzarella sticks on special so o got that too.

Everything was super dry and old tasting like it's been sitting out all day. I could taste no hint of cheese at all in the mozza sticks. They were just dry, brittle, gross. Everything about this was a poor experience.

BK buns are so damn bad. I don't even dislike most of their other food, but those buns, Holy McMoley.

I feel like every Burger King I've been to has had this seedy, grimy feel to it. Whereas McDonald's and Wendy's (even if they're right next door) usually were bright and clean by comparison.

Even when I eat in the Burger King itself, my food finds a way to be cold. I don't know how they do it. And don't get me started on taking the food home.

I just never go there...McDonalds, Wendys and even A&W are nice alternatives and stuff like Five Guys and Smashburger are better if you want to spend more. Even worse with BK jumping on this veggie burger fad. Give me a break.

Plenty of BK locations are managed like shit. When they aren't, the food is actually quite good.

This. The past 3 locations I went to, terrible management. The one in my town underwent management change a year or so back, and it's so much better now.

Having worked in the food industry, I can tell you that poor management leads to poor food. I left one of my favorite jobs because of new management making it miserable, and that location went down hill so fast after the last original holdout walked out after an altercation with the new manager.

BK in my town is pretty good. Now Wendy's and KFC are total trash. Taco Bell is hit and miss. McD, Arbys, and BK are the only ones I trust to do well each time. The local places are all good, but China King. China King is the most disgusting thing around. I don't understand how it is still open.

It's almost like they're TRYING to go out of business. Almost everyone I talk to has the same opinion of BK these days. Every time I go there (which is very rarely these days) I keep hoping I'll come back and this will be the time BK is back to its old form. I always end up disappointed.

The BK here has good management again so it's not bad. Pick any chain and I can tell you where you want to eat and places to avoid. Depends on the location and time. Taking a risk at any different chain location, especially Subway since they are so easy to buy into.

BK and McDonalds switched roles a long time ago. I think some kind of Faustian deal was involved.

Every Burger King in my area with the exception of one is a complete fucking disaster now. And that one is just so far from me that I don't go a lot and they might have just gotten lucky that day.

It's so weird, during the recession Burger King was my go to, somewhere around 5 years ago they all went to shit though.

Meanwhile, McDonalds has gone way way up recently.

I live in a small town so theres not many fast food choices but the BK here is complete ass. Back when they reintroduced the tacos however many months ago that was, they ran out of tacos so they put a sign on the door that said, we out of tacos
It was typed out exactly like that complete with no punctuation or capitalization lol.

I tried the pretzel king burger they have now (without mustard, adding tomato and lettuce) and it was decent.

But yeah, Im general BK is subpar these days. Almost everything they do or try is something another chain has already done, and they usually far short of the mark.

Burger King needs to bring back buck doubles.

I'd give less of a shit that their food sucks if it only cost a dollar.

No, Wendy's has been bad since then couldn't keep the $1 menu. 5 nuggets for $1 never forget!

Though their value menu is still best with burger chains. Jbc and 4 piece nugget

You know what never gets mentioned with the cheap fast food places is Steak and Shake. It's $4 for a pretty damn good burger and fries. Completely blows away the $5.50 I spent at Burger King today.

I've eaten at the Burger King on base here a couple times now. Not really impressed. The whopper meal comes out alright, but that's it so far.

The Big Fish meal was over fried and the spicy chicken sandwich was cold.

First time I ever ate at one, me, my wife and her family all got food poisoning. Was miserable. We've never tried it again, though I'm tempted to sometimes.

The problem with BK is their staffing. They have one person at the register and the other person running the whole kitchen and thats it. McDonalds always has tons of people in their kitchen. McDonalds you know you can stop in and get your food relatively quick most of the time. BK you know it will take awhile to get your food even if youre the only person in the whole place.

This and the other posts are weird to me.
My Burger King is ran pretty good, drive thru is always really quick.
Burgers usually taste fine, Also mine doesn't even take the coupons when I use them so I can reuse coupons every single time I go.

Yea it defintely differs, mine I just tell them the coupon code, they ring it up, never give them a coupon I'm good.

Went to another one the other week "What coupons that?" then asked for the coupon at the window.

I kinda feel like people use McDonald's as a synochdoche for fast food in general.

McD is actually not nearly the worst offender in any of its stereotyped ways.

I know every fast food chain uses garbage mass-produced vegetables with a million chemicals in them, but somehow Burger Kings manage to stand head-and-shoulders above the rest as the worst - especially their tomatoes... those fucking tomatoes!!! The single worst (FDA-approved) toping you can get on a fast food sandwich.
