BK Whopper Bar

Nothing much to say …,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,…,…,…

Yup a BAR. Only in Vegas do fast food joints sell booze. This one in particular sells a few beers. I guess that is what gives them the right to call it a BK Bar. This is actually a Burger King and is inside the Hotel Rio.
The lady that waited on us acted like she didn’t want to be there. She was rather rude. The tables were empty but completely messy and dirty. This is sad because this specific end of the Hotel was dead. No one was around. Why didn’t anyone get out and clean up this mess. WHY?
The only thing they have in their favor is that… It is located beside the Male strip joint. With that being said, we stopped in here for a quick bite before we hit the strip one night. I had a whopper something and fries. As I ate my cold food, I was watching the over beefed strippers out trying to pull in passers buy at the strip joint.
The fact they are located beside the male strip club and get random peeks of male beefy goodness and they sale booze is the only reason I am giving them a 2 star. They actually deserve 1, but booze and beefcakes earn a star on their own.
AVOID this place.

Worst service I have ever encountered. We received our food in short order but the French fries and hash browns cold. I asked for fresh fries & received fresh fries. I asked for hot hash browns and received the same ones. I asked for hot hash browns and he asked me «do you want hot food?» I said yes. I finally received my food. There was absolutely not care whatsoever in assembling the food. I understand that it is fast food, but this is not rocket science.

So we were going inside the Rio from the parking garage and the first thing we see when we come in is the Burger King… BAR?
What.
Is this real life?
Only in Vegas– not even. Only in Rio Las Vegas!
They have a couple beers, which I didn’t get, but if you ask them, they’ll totally tell you what it is.
The Burger King is VERY limited– they make Whoppers. And double Whoppers. And breakfast… and to my eye, that was about all they made. O_​O So you don’t get hamburgers, cheeseburgers, etc, unfortunately. Or whatever else BK has, because I haven’t been to a BK in so long. They DO have smoothies though!
Ordered a whopper, tasted alright, cheaply made, of course :-/​They didn’t put enough sauce, and so it felt a little plain. It’s totally fast food, and lines show up and that’s when production begins to slow down, as there is a cashier, a man working on making burgers, and the people in the back making everything else. (Hash browns, fries…). It took a couple minutes to get our order in, but even longer for them to make the hash browns. I mean– it’s breakfast… shouldn’t you have some already ready?
They do have nice service and they do accept LA coupons (whose food they make), so they do have that working out for them.
2.5 stars here. Located across from Chippingdales in the Rio. Which is the half naked hot men picture, if you look at pictures instead: P

They squirted bbq sauce all over my mushroom swiss burger! Obviously it wasn’t very tasty. Also my fries seemed like they had been sitting around for quite a while. I watched some drunk chick steal a soda and it made me happy. (No free refills)

Its fast food, so lets just get that out there. Not being from a state that you can literally have a drink anywhere, this place made me laught that you can get a beer with your whopper. They were a bit understaffed when I was here, but the service was good. The Whopper was your average whopper. Nothing to outstanding, but if you want something to eat, its perfectly fine.

This place is kind of sad but if you’re eating here then it is what it is. I wanted something familiar and fast and while the Bacon Bleu Double Whopper was tasty the prices here are a little expensive for what you get… but it’s Vegas, right?!
A medium Double meal was over $ 10 and it wasn’t fantastic. The service was friendly but not exactly quick and the store itself… a little dirty, FYI. It’ll do in a pinch but I’d take it back to the room next time. They do serve beer though and they have a few big screens.

The staff were friendly and professional. My order is always complicated and most burger places mess it up and have to redo. Not here correct the first time. Good affordable place to eat.

Never mind all these nay sayers, this place is good. Went here the other day for lunch. I had a good experience. I ordered a whopper with cheese and no onions. I received my food in a timely manner and it was exactly as I ordered. Staff was friendly and attentive. I’ll come back for sure!

Other than being open ²⁴⁄₇ & serving beer, it’s nothing special — the menu is actually more limited than a regular BK!
I ordered two Veggie Whoppers, each with grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, cheddar cheese & minus tomatoes. I know — sounds complicated, but at 1:45AM, there was no line or anything, and the order taker repeated my order back to me correctly.
About 7 min later, I got my two Whoppers. Both had meat on them. The order-​taker was very apologetic & said he’d correct the mistake right away.
5 minutes later, I got two Veggie Whoppers, but with American cheese, with tomatoes, and without the grilled onions & mushrooms I paid extra for.
Instead of pressing my luck, I removed the unwanted tomatoes & then ate the Veggie Whoppers. Perhaps they shoulder be called Whoopsers?
Is in attention to detail a consequence we’re supposed to accept when dining late at night? Perhaps the manager of this BK just assumes anyone eating there after midnight is probably drunk & won’t notice…

Only place I’ve found in the Rio that serves Coke! It’s a glorified Burger King.

Stopped by after a long day walking the strip before heading to our room. My husband got a double and I got a single whopper. Service was quick and friendly.
Our burgers were cold and the only thing I can compare the taste of the burger patty to is a gas station burger. Totally gross– and for $ 13ish dollars for 2 it was unacceptable. Burger King isnt one of my favorite places to begin with, but damn at least the patty is (usually) edible.
I will not return here– I would rather pay even more money for a burger somewhere else in this casino than go through that again.

Most disgusting burger I have ever had. Way to much sauce, I ordered it plain and got BBQ, burger patty’s were burned and I payed for guacamole which I could have fit into a spoon for ants. Would rather go to a normal Burger King than spend $ 8 for a burger that my 4 year old niece could make better.
Service was acceptable. Food was horrible. Would rather go to any other burger place in town including any other Burger King.
Oh and I had a few drinks so the food should be even better I feel sick after one burger and threw away the fries if you get the the option drive down flamingo to in and out or go to anywhere else.

It’s true, only TWO of these BK Whopper Bars in the world? Damn, woulda thought they would make a better burger! All show, no go.
This place in the Rio got a 3-​star because of what an actual BK is. If I take it that way as a chain, it gets an average rating. No extra stars for this wannabe mini bar concept. I was kinda excited to finally get to check this place out too!
After getting Trekked out at the Star Trek Convention, I was as famished as a Vulcan without a home planet. Places in the Rio Hotel & Casino are HELLA expensive to eat at and I just wanted something simple. Like a burger. Eureka! I finally thought to check out the BK Whopper Bar. Burger and a beer? Can’t get much more grandiose for the chump change I had left after taking an interplanetary beating buying collectibles.
I finally get to the place, and guess what? Every single other klingon, vulcan, and U.S.S. Enterprise crewmate was in attendance. Drats. I was like, «Damn, this burger better be good.» After a 15 minute wait in line, I finally approach the cashier. I look at the menu boards. Whut? This is all the same as in a regular BK! Damn again! I coulda just left this place and gone to a less busy (and less expensive) BK! All the same items available at this BK Whopper Bar sans you can order a bottle of beer with your meal! And dammit, why did I ever think I could order a foreign beer with it? All friggin’ domestic. Unless you consider CORONA as being foreign (or alien in this case of Star Trek OR Mexican). Other choices were Bud, Bud Light, Miller Lite, Heineken, or Corona. Bleech. Not really my favorites. Would it kill you guys to have a brew-​of-​the-​week special like Newcastle or Sam Adams? Ack.
So ok, kill the beer and I’ll settle for a soda. The other perk for the BK Whopper Bar was the fact you can get your burger YOUR way, with additional toppings not available in your regular BK. But hey, after being starving, standing in a slow @$$ moving line, and seeing skanky beer (and skanky dressed cosplayers), I was not in the mood. Even more so after seeing the additional cost of adding any of these extra toppings to your burger. So I gave in and just ordered a damn Whopper with Cheese combo like nearly everyone else before me. Although I did get an order of onion rings instead of fries. The setback? A ‘Whopper’ of $ 9! NINE friggin’ dollars! Oi, yes it is at least for me, expensive for this kind of fast-​food slobbery.
The food? Luckily just as good as a regular BK. Which is not saying too much. Whopper with Cheese (lettuce, tomato, onion, extra pickle, light mayo, ketchup, add mustard) for me was just OK. At least the bun was supple, and the veggies were semi-​fresh. The burger itself though was dry (was probably holding in a tray). The onion rings were basic but fried fresh, although I wish they had filled the box to the top instead of ripping me off a few rings. Soda was just a soda (luckily it was a Coke). I doubt I would have enjoyed this meal better with a skanky beer. But who knows.
Overall, not much of a ‘Whopper’ of a time for me. A fancy BK (ooooo…beeeeer) with the fancy price included. Though much of the fancy doesn’t go to the food or the experience itself. I fancy that fancy goes with the price of acquiring the liquor license for this place. BK for big boys, aye, so much potential sucked down the fast-​food drain.
Just…DAMN.

An okay experience.
It’s a shell of the actual fast-​food restaurants, but it fills the hole for a quick bite and drink while traversing the Rio. Service was adequate, although I attacked the restaurant when there were no customers. So maybe adequate is not good enough when I’m the only customer.
The Whopper was bland. The ingredients were fresh enough, and I saw the server make my hamburger so I know it wasn’t premade. But it just tasted bland.
Overall, it’s just meh.

Apparently there are only TWO BK whopper bars, and somehow the Rio in Las Vegas got one of them.
Now, I have to admit, I liked the concept of the BK whopper bar. A build your own whopper bar complete with a plethora of different toppings you would not see in a normal Burger King? Count me in!
However, for some odd reason, the BK whopper bar had incredibly SLOW service. Like, painstakingly slow. I had ordered something simple and they somehow took 20 minutes to get me my food.
I guess since I was there at around 7, they may have been hit by a dinner crowd? However, it looked like the set up was just not conducive to more than 1 person putting together people’s seriously complex build your own whoppers.
I’m sure if BK Whopper Bars can get the set up more like a subway restaurant, this would be a concept that could be taken to other locations. Until then, I think I’ll just go to a regular BK where I know that my food will be out within 5 minutes.

First off I am reviewing this as a Burger King, and its the hippest, coolest BK i have ever been to!
1)All the employees had their teeth A++++
2)The bathrooms didnt have standing turds from the previous trucker who ate there. A+
3)Its perfect for when you are on your last $ 10 for a cheap eat on the way out of getting casino raped at the RIO.
4) only bad thing??? Its way in the top back corner and very eay to miss.
I mean everyone knows, NOBODY KEEPS BK IN THE CORNER!!!

I had high hopes for the Whopper Bar. I mean here was an opportunity for the Burger King franchise to take their burgers to the next level. Now I did not have unrealistic expectations. I mean I knew the patties would be the same as the restaurant. I did not expect gourmet toppings. And I did not expect 5 star service. However, I did hope that they would have some creative toppings and sauce choices such as maybe a blue cheese crumbles or sauce. I also expected that they would make the extra effort for quality service and cleanliness. However, on the day we went, the staff was less than friendly, screwed up our order, and unattentive when we tried to straighten it out. The prices here are slightly higher than the BK franchises and the reality is you don’t get much different of a burger than the restaurant since you can «have it your way» at Burger King anyway.
The toppings reminded me of a bad subway chain as they looked wilted and sloppy with mushrooms dripping into other containers. The angry onions were really the only «different» topping on the menu and they were flavorless and limp.
The restaurant itself was not as clean as I hoped. The trashcans were overflowing and the floor looked dirty. The tables were not wiped down well. I even had a server who had just walked out from behind the counter refuse to answer my simple question about plastic knives because she was off duty. No employee was anywhere to be found for about 5 minutes and then they looked at me like I was asking them for an angus patty covered in gold before handing me a sealed plastic knife.
All in all a disappointing end to what sounds like a great concept.

This is great. What a way to start the nights debouchery. A Double Whopper and a Coors Light. They didnt have Blue Moon and since im from Colorado i love my Home Brewed beers. The menu is great. Like the California whopper with Guacamole. And the Angry Whopper. Some toppings are free, others they charge 50 cents for Like Hickory Smoked bacon and Onions which can be raw or grilled or fried like onion rings. Adding a beer for 2.99 to the meal isnt bad. The Germans have had beer in fast food establishments for years.
Its about time we catch on and hopefully it will. They also have Caramel Sundaes on the menu which i havent seen at any other Burger king. The downside is, when you get a fountain drink, they dont offer free refills.

This is a Burger King with the relatively new concept of serving beer with your meal. This is how it works. When you place your order you can add a bottle of beer for $ 2.99 more. If you only want a beer it is $ 5.
The lunch and dinner menus feature whopper sandwiches. And some of them I never saw before.
I passed on the beer because I was going to drink downstairs in the casino. I enjoyed my Bourbon whopper meal, which I do not recall seeing before.
From spending time in bars and coffee shops, I felt that the employees here need to be more friendly.
Overall this is a cool Burger King that serves bottles of beer in addition to fast food.
