Ok....here's a new one even for me. I really like pickles and there's something about a Burger King pickle that's really, really good. I always order extra pickles on my sandwich. I went through the drive through a few days ago in the late afternoon, ordered my sandwich and was told (after I paid) that they were out of pickles!! What?!? How can a Burger King run out of pickles? And, I guess I'm should be happy that they told me as I was leaving that "by the way...." we are out of pickles and you don't have any. At least I didn't get a few miles down the road only to assume they messed up my order. But next time, please tell me when I order if you don't have a key ingredient!
And, the ATM machine was broken. They made sure I was aware of that before I ordered. Guess they didn't want me to order and not pay. -

This Burger King gets to stand in for all Burger Kings across the country. (I won't say the world since I know there are quality variations between countries). Being unremarkable aside from a musical theme in the seating area (?!), it's well suited for the role.
I had a crispy Tendercrisp value meal, since they got rid of the spicy Tendercrisp sandwich at some point (why?). The chicken wasn't itself bad. The lettuce was limp, though; the jalapenos were shamelessly, spicelessly weak. The fries were so small individually that there was barely anything to taste aside from the deep-fried exterior. I know it's my fault for ordering a value meal, but I stood in despair at the soda machine wishing for something that even approximated a healthy option. On the up side, they offer free wifi (which in a more remote or less affluent area might be a rare and valuable thing), and they had stacks of crowns free for the taking, which my 20-something brothers had a hilarious time with.
I'm normally an advocate of rating restaurants relative to what they are -- a food court shouldn't be held to the same standards as a five-star restaurants. Maybe I should be rating Burger King against peer restaurants; I'm sure against McDonalds and Wendy's and White Castle, it wouldn't be less than a three. Still, there has to be some quality to the food -- usually I'd call it tastiness -- against which you apply these different scales of flavor, value for price, tolerance for imperfections or service variations, etc. Honestly, I didn't find any basic quality at Burger King. I didn't enjoy it, and I actively don't want to go back -- that's my criteria for one star, so one star Burger King gets.
Now, this all may be snotty, and maybe knowing I was eating at a major fast food joint caused me to be more negative than usual. (I'd like not to think so, I always thought Burger King was better than McDonalds). It's not the price -- for less than the $5.67 the value meal cost, I know you can get actually good food -- check out the hallal stands in New York City, for example.
The next time I'm home and my brothers want to go to Burger King and refuse to let me look for alternatives, I'm just gonna have to steal the car keys. -

I realize that rating a Burger King is kind of foolish. But despite these earlier reviews, they really have picked up their service and food quality. I came in with my father. I was greeted right away and everybody there was friendly from the person who took my order, to the person who eventually handed me my food. I have never really been a big fan of Burger King, but this might possibly turn me on to them.
And the food was absolutely amazing! I ordered a steak burger and they loaded it with onions and sauce (which I love). I may have possibly found a new re-replacement for the standard cheap every day McDonalds meal, but better!
