Burger King

Upstairs is lots of cool décor from films and other themes. It’s a burger king, what do you expect. All their food and staff are the same generally.

Closed by the health department when I went by today (9÷8÷15). Shocker!

Nasty food everyone and what makes it worst is the service. Had to go inside because drive thru was closed, but I’m glad I did because I saw how dirty the place was. Floor sticky in the morning which means they don’t clean up when they close. Perfect time for mice, rats, roaches to feed, I had to throw away my food because the thought could not get out of my head. Also had to wait until the lady’s finished their conversation about their issues for me to order.

Read another review in here that stated the same problem I had. They charge you for condiments. You should never have to swipe your card for a few cents just because the business is some crap. The Spanish lady at the front counter was very rude and started raising her voice with me, I asked for my money back and left very upset. All I wanted was a damn bacon cheeseburger and a barbecue sauce! Not to mention I had to stand there for 15 minutes waiting for them to cook my onion rings, or whatever it is they were doing.

There is something strange about this burger king. Even for a fast food place their food is below average. Everything has this stale, overlooked, dry taste to it. The service is also very poor. The staff seems totally focused on the drive thru and are slow to serve in store patrons. Overall the whole place feels like a blight on the community.

I didn’t expected to have this kind of treating from fastfood place. I didn’t had any issues on fast food on my place but their fast food crews here have attitude problem. They even slack most of the time.
The main problem of this place is their service, because the taste of the food was still there and its kinda disappointing to know that the service was this low. I am very disappointed.

The reason why I’m giving this place one stars is not because of the service, the food, drinks, etc.
When a restaurant charges $ 00.19 + $ 00.02 Tax for condiments; thats a problem.
Management needs to hide the price in the food its self, this tactic is mostly used in the restaurants because they’re struggling. it’s a very cheap and lazy way of handling a problem by nickel and diming patrons.
I personally have a problem with this and other people while there have commented at the time this was a problem. I don’t carry cash & having to use a credit card is asinine. So if you need extra sauce you’re going to want to spend $ 00.21 on a credit card that’s just out right dumb.
Why I’m writing this post; One other patrons who was there gave me $ 00.21 in change for me to purchase additional sauce that should’ve never happened. The fact that I have to put an additional $ 00.21 on my credit card just because I can’t pre-​calculate how much sauce is going to be required for my food is un-​acceptable!
My final comment to this review is management needs to seriously re-​evaluate how they are setting up the prices for the menus and adequately add the additional price per extra sauce required into the food itself.
no one should have to pay for condiments no one!

First, I love Burger King, and generally eat at their restaurants a couple of times of month, (usually in the Arlington-​Alexandria areas).
Having said that, my love affair stops at the drive-​thru at this place. To quickly sum up the experience, the «service» is so slow, that it almost grinds to a stop. When one finally makes their way to the order phone, minutes can roll by before someone finally speaks in their ho-​hum voice. Finally, I order, but the line doesn’t move much, because the guy at the front of the line is still waiting to pick up his order. Finally it’s my turn, and I get my food, some 8 — 10 minutes after I pulled into the nearly empty drive-​thru. However, being a glutton for punishment, I have since returned twice, albeit with the same result.
If you like Burger King as I do, just be warned of the slow, slow, «service». You can thank me later.

One of the few Burger Kings in the District and one of the few fast food stops that has a drive thru. But if you think that is different, you should definitely stop and go inside. I’ve never been to a Burger King or any restaurant like this that has tons and tons of old movie posters hung on the walls. It is really crazy to see how many they have and also funny how a bunch of them have faded in color over the years. On top of all that, this Burger King has a really different setup due to lack of space because it is 3 tiered. Be sure to check out the upper deck area because it has a hilarious pink Cadillac booth. High class.
Well enough about the décor of this place, so how is the food? It’s just Burger King. Nothing amazing but nothing terrible. This place is very clean and pretty quick at the drive through.

Staying in the hotel next door and we just wanted a dessert. Came with the Contiki girls for various flavoured sundaes. Like any classic Burger King restaurant– with same food and the retro outfit of the red glittery couches and old school music.

10:30a (insert music from Law & Order SVU): I pull up, ready, mind on a stale breakfast sandwich because I KNOW THEY STILL HAVE BREAKFAST. Seconds elapse as I wait for a staticky voice to loudly interrupt my thoughts. 10…20…30… «Hello?!? Helloooo?!?» Finally, a dry and monotoned voice answers, «Yes ma’am, how may I help you?»
Wait. Were you too busy to answer the driver through call? Do you need a job? Oh, ok. I just want to be clear here. Ummm yea, so I ask for a breakfast croissant of some sort (they all converge after you’ve had them all). She says, «We’re not selling breakfast anymore.»
Me: What time is it?
Her: Its 10:31.
Me: Were you selling breakfast a minute ago? Because you stop selling at 10:30 right?
Her: Yes we were, but were not anymore.
Me: You took a minute to respond to me and now you don’t have anymore breakfast?
Her: We’re not serving breakfast anymore ma’am.
Me: So, you don’t have any breakfast left?
Her: No.
Me: But you just sold breakfast 3 minutes ago. You’re telling me you don’t have any breakfast foods AT ALL? Did you pack it up for lunch? Did you throw it away? I’m just tryna understand where the breakfast that you were selling 3 minutes ago went?
Her: I don’t know ma’am. Would you like to order something else?
Me: I had my mind on breakfast. Can you ask your MOD if there is anything left?
Her: We don’t have any more.
Me: Alright. Give me a spicy chicken sandwich.
I don’t understand why she was playing with my emotions. I gave this place one star because they are rude and rarely ever respond as soon as you pull up to the drive through. The food is horrible too, but it’s convenient and cheap. Plus they are one of the only establishments in this area with a drive through and two parking spaces you DONT have to pay for.

Really should close this place down and put something of value in here so that Van Ness can get some more decent restaurants in place. Lived in the area for a little over two years and never had much interest in going in here, mainly because I’m not a fan of Burger King, but also because it was ALWAYS empty. Then I went once just to see if there was a reason why it was empty.
Yeah, it’s pretty bad. Décor is lack-​luster, staff is very unfriendly, and me and the boyfriend got upset stomachs from the food. And service is SLOW even though the place has pretty much no people. Avoid at all costs.

I can’t believe they are still in service, considering the lack of service they offer. At first, I was merely a bystander witnessing serious confrontations between customers and their drive through employees. Then I had my first taste of how they treat their customers.
I ordered one coffee and a crispy chicken sandwich. At the window, I’m given a coffee and chicken nuggets. The man who took my order tells me I ordered chicken nuggets. How can you tell a customer they ordered something they didn’t? It was clearly a misunderstanding, and I just wanted a coffee and a sandwich. He again repeated that I ordered nuggets so that’s what I’m getting.
I told him that unless I am an idiot, I would think I know what I ordered. His answer to my problem was that he wasn’t an idiot either. Clearly, this was going nowhere fast and at this point, I just wanted my food and nothing to do with this guy. The other worker handling the cash register looked uncomfortable, so I decided to pay for the nuggets with my credit card and request an extra sandwich, just so I could avoid an argument.
Then I noticed they did not give me my cash back. If I wasn’t trying to beat rush hour, I might have blocked their driveway until they ran out of business. Unfortunately, I left and paid more than necessary for a crispy chicken sandwich whose chicken wasn’t even crispy.
– Edit –
That and their art deco sucks!

I went to have a quick bite of lunch with my husband. Now, when I saw this place, I wasn’t expecting much. I mean its a Burger King, not a fancy sit down restaurant. As stated here, the décor is… odd. If it wasn’t for the huge BK mural, you probably wouldn’t think it was a BK at all.
It was almost creepy and the atmosphere was just off. I don’t know why. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. The fries were the best honestly. They were hot and fresh.

I know, I know, I’m Unilocaling about a fast food restaurant but this one needs to be reviewed. Literally THE SLOWEST BK I’ve ever been to in my life…3 cars in front of us at the drive thru, took us nearly 30 minutes to get to the window to get our order which was only fries and mini cinnabons. Ordered a large fry and they put a medium size in the bag… both the fries and the cinnabons were cold. The cinnabons were definitely stale. The grossest fast food experience I’ve ever had… and I’ve been to some pretty nasty Taco Bells.

I try my very best not to come to this Burger King. I’ve had too many very bad experiences and tried very hard not to have a 3^rd bad experience.
Unfortunately, I went yesterday morning and had the worst experience. We ordered our food and after 30 minutes we still hadn’t received it. When I went to ask where our food was it took another 5 minutes because they hadn’t even started making it yet. Then when I explained to the manager, Luz, that I had ordered my food 30 minutes earlier she said it was a mistake. When I asked if they were even going to apologize she said that she already explained to me that it was a mistake. Also, that if I wanted my money back I’d have to give back the food. After I repeatedly said how unacceptable the situation was she threw her hands up and yelled to just give me my money back and starting yelling in Spanish (which I don’t speak so I can’t tell you what she was saying).
Let’s say that I have finally learned my lesson and won’t return this location.

Just horrible. The décor is sad, overall restaurant tired, and oh, you might want to increase the frequency of the exterminator.

The food is much, much, much better than the BKs in Tennessee. The burgers actually tasted like real hamburger. Wonder what they are doing differently? Remarkable.

It’s nice that the tray liners show calorie counts for some of the more popular value meals, and that they partition their salads into compartments so you can pick out ingredients you don’t like. Never thought guacamole could be bland, but they managed to suck the life out of the avocado in the California Whopper. Fries were decently crispy and not overtly greasy. Kat’s salad veg was fresh, at least. Doling out an extra star for the Batmobile table upstairs, where big kids can look like little kids again.

By far one of the strangest fast food establishments I’ve been to ever. Aside from mediocre greasy chain fast food, this particular Burger King is 4 stories tall, with drive-​thru. The lowest level is by far the creepiest. From what it appears, there was probably once a kid’s play area down here, but all that remains are some low tables and stools (for the kiddies).
Go one level up to the street level and you’ll see gaudy music décor. On the next level is the kitchen/​ordering area. Be sure to look up at all the crazy 80’s/early 90’s movie memorabilia. On the top level is more dining area utilizing mismatched tables and chairs as well as a «Batmobile» table.
