Fast Food Restaurants in the USA and Canada - Burger King

Introduction

This is NOT the official Burger King web site.

This page describes typical restaurants in the chain. Individual locations may differ.

Only a small sample of menu items are listed here.

Unless otherwise stated, prices exclude sales tax and are normal (not special offer) prices.

Area

Throughout the USA and Canada.

System

Fast food.

Queue at the counter (sometimes there is one queue, sometimes there are multiple queues).

Place order and make payment.

Receive receipt with order number.

Many locations now have serve yourself drinks with endless free refills, in which case you will given empty drinks cups.

Collect food when your order number is announced.

Place your rubbish in the bin provided and leave the tray on top.

Almost all locations also have drive-throughs.

Breakfasts

Biscuit (with egg and cheese, plus your choice of ham, bacon or sausage) $1.69 (summer 2000)

Croissant (with egg and cheese, plus your choice of ham, bacon or sausage) $1.69 (summer 2000)

Breakfast Value Meal (a biscuit or croissant plus coffee and hash browns)

French Toast Sticks

Coffee $0.99 (summer 2000)

Some Burger King locations in Canada also offer a "big breakfast" which is especially good value for money

Lunch And Dinner

Burgers.

Chicken sandwiches. In June 1999 Burger King were offering their Chicken Sandwich (chicken in a bun, with lettuce and mayonnaise) for 99c as a special offer. This represented excellent value for money. Judging by photographs, exactly the same product, although called the Chicken Royale, was on sale in July 1999 in England for £2.29. (Both prices are for the sandwich alone, not a meal.)

Fries.

Senior Discounts

None, as far as I know.

Opinion

Quality of food - generally excellent.

Value for money - generally reasonable.

Cleanliness - generally good but some locations leave something to be desired.

Quality and speed of service - generally good in small towns but very variable in larger towns. In recent years we have encountered several locations with insufficient staff and as a result unacceptably slow service.

Includes a store location guide (use the official two letter state abbreviations when searching). Verified Mar-02.

Update

According to an article in USA Today 13-Sep-02, in response to static sales Burger King and McDonald's are introducing a 99-cent value menu, a move made by Taco Bell and Wendy's over ten years ago. This may be accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the number of short term discount promotions. Burger King's value menu will feature eleven items including burgers, tacos, salads, milkshakes and drinks.
