Burger King

Dealt with jorge about twenty minutes ago and all I can say is wow. Pleasure to deal with and he really goes above and beyond for the customer. He’s a real asset to your franchise!

This isn’t your usual BK. Its quiet, vintage interior will soothe you while devouring those chicken fries or veggie burger!
The employees at this location were what inspired me to leaving a Unilocal review of a chain (normally a futile task). These employees were so friendly — not grumpy and depressing — and they not only hand delivered our meals but offered a hot fudge sundae to us for free! Cool!

I have always liked the bugers, but the fries keep me away. I don’t understand why the company doesn’t revamp the fries, and not that healthy version of a few years ago either. If we order fries, we know they are bad for us. That said, we want something that tastes good if it is going to shorten our lifespan.

I love a good grilled burger. Not that cr*p that passes for meat from McDooms. Not the patties I want to scrape the top layer of grease off of from that place that rhymes with Bendy’s. I do love other chains, but not… for burgers, usually. There are 2 exceptions, because they actually know how to *grill* their beef and thus, make it taste better. One of these chain’s names, oddly, ends with the word Taco and are relatively sparsely populated. The 2^nd is Burger King.
I hadn’t been to a BK in a heck of a long time, but when I saw they were offering an alternative to the McRib, I knew I had to investigate. So I did, one night in January, and got about $ 15 worth of various sammies to try — I did not eat them all at once, they were stretched out over the course of 3 – 4 days and microwave reheated, some of them.
I have to say this in all honesty. Their Big KIng is a superior version of a Big Mac. It’s actually fresh and not nasty and actually *resembles* the sizable pictures both those sammies have. (And it’s bigger — just do some article checking.) I never much cared for their Spicy Original Chicken Sandwich — way too much bun. Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich on the other hand? Just right, and something that tastes like creamy sriracha sauce on it — very nice. Bacon Double Cheeseburger and BBQ Rib sammies also delicious — but that rib patty is about 3 inches wide — and *that’s* why it’s a buck (versus McDoom’s higher priced one).
But I see I’m digressing into the superior qualities of BK as a chain vs just this particular location, so I’ll say this. It’s pretty quiet, there is not a lot of traffic so walk-​in or drive-​through, you’re getting your order reasonably fast; and the shift manager evenings is one of the politest nicest people I’ve seen in a chain. C-​F-​A nice, if you know what I’m referring to.
They also have an interesting and possibly more useful than spam app in the walk-​in area of the store, Front Flip, that you can install on your phone and scan the barcode each time you come in for money off an item or a BOGO or free (with purchase of something else) offer. If you don’t have your mind set on anything specific, it’s a nice way to bulk up your order for less money. And they also have one of those push-​button «multi-​flavor» drink machines.
I’ve been a slacker eating healthy the last 2 weeks and have been by there 3 times: p, much to my ruination. Think I’m finally good for a while… but *yum*. (They also have a 2 for $ 5 big sammie special going on; I don’t know if that’s chain-​wide or not, but worth checking out.)

You know, the food at these places really has a sense of «sameness» to it… So what sets all these individual restaurants apart in my mind is the excellence in service.
This particular BK is probably one of the nice ones out of the bunch that I’ve been too. The staff and the managers are all top-​notch friendly and accommodating. Point in case; my girlfriend and her daughter wanted tater rounds but they had just stopped breakfast but the manager had them make one last batch for us. He didn’t bark an order back there but asked his cook staff and they said, «Aww…sure, no problem!!».
It’s not too often you get that caliber of customer service at a fast food joint.

If you like Burger King, then this is a great one. If you don’t like fast food much, but you find yourself choosing among all the fast food places on this section of E. Hampden, go with this Burger King.
I always go through the drive through, so I can’t say much about the inside. The staff has always been very friendly, with no exceptions! I have never had such reliably positive experiences with drive through fast food places. My food has always been HOT and my order has always been correct. There has only been one time where my food was not ready immediately. They had me pull around to the front of the store and they brought my order out to me by hand (within 1 – 2 minutes) because they were finishing cooking the fries. I was fine with this because it meant the fries were freshly cooked and thus much better than average.
Even overnight and breakfast staff are super nice and the food is still nice and hot.
