Burger King

If you need to eat fast food go to this Burger King. I go more than I want to admit and the food is usually hot and consistent.

I once chided people on reviewing chains...though, it was at a time where there was some type of drive to review a shiz-ton of places, and everyone began banging out reviews of Subways.

I have since recinded that belief, as I think that giving props to a chain that goes a bit above and beyond can be just as valuable as turning in a 25th review of a place that everyone already goes to.

So my lovely companion and I were on the way to check out Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Musical at the new Blank Canvas Theatre. We were running kind of late, but were both starving. Right at the corner to turn toward the theater, we see the Burger King standing there. Sheepishly, I said something like "...wanna just get Burger King...?" She agreed, and started confessing her addiction to their chocolate shakes.

I have to say, I stopped going to the BK a while back, as I had thought they went way downhill, across the board. However, I got two cheeseburgers, she got a double, and all three were incredibly tasty. I had been a bit nervous as after-rush fast food burgs sometimes tend to sit a while, but all had clearly been made right then. The shakes were awesome, a bit thicker than McD's standard shakes.

The gal at the drive-through was remarkably pleasant. I wanted to tell her to hang in there, and in 15-20 years she'd be a district manager of BK making twice what most people with master's degrees make, but the show was starting soon and we had to demolish our food. Hopefully she already understands that.

So, a pretty solid BK. Don't be afraid to hit it up.

when i was in high school, there was a local coffeehouse where i spent a lot of time. it was called thinkers. it has since been turned into an arabica. (at least it hasn't turned into a starbucks.) every so often, i miss those days with really delicious mochas and no responsibility.

but mostly i just miss those mochas.

you will never believe where i found a mocha that comes close to the taste of that thinkers mocha.

freakin' burger king.

their "mocha joe" or whatever you call it is pretty darn good. and i know it's ridiculous to review a fast food chain, but those effin mochas.

suddenly i'm gushing over a guy behind the thinkers counter in my memory.

...i wonder where he ended up.

i'm gonna give bk three stars. because no matter how good that darn drink is, it's still burger king.

thanks for the walk down memory lane, bk.

i can't believe you were the one to get close enough to that caffeinated heaven.

Really slow service, and the food was cold and old.!!!! When I got there I stood in line for ten minutes while one employee tried to take care of five people by herself. Other employees just stood around and watched the confusion and frustrations. What a joke. I'm not even sure that there was a manager or boss on the property. If there was then they must have been hiding or sleeping....lol. to close, it was less than adequate service and an unacceptable product!!!!!

Lets say, I do not eat very much fast food but needed a quick bite and went to this Burger King. Well I was sitting at the drive through for at least 2 minutes and heard no "can I help you? or one moment please". When I was about to drive off, she took my order, after I placed a simple order "medium french fries" she said pull around. I pulled around and nobody was at the window, then the lady came and starred at me asking why I was there. I said I just ordered a medium french fries, she said... OH you did order that, I said forget it and drove off. I was so disgusted I called the manager that same day March 19, 2013 at 7:54 PM and told her everything.
This place has to get it together no wonder why there is hardly anyone at this restaurant whenever I drive by.

I just visited the #4832 location (7500 Detroit Ave in Cleveland). It was at 11:21:46PM according to the receipt. The ticket number is #421. After waiting long enough that we thought the place was closed (we started to drive away and finally heard someone ask for our order) Tarik (employee number: 64858) finally took our order. We waited a long time for our order.. long enough that one of the 4 cars behind us asked if they had fallen asleep. While we were waiting, we witnessed Tarik reach her hand into the fry bin (no glove) grab a fry and eat it.
This was no dainty bite.. in the process of ingesting the fry she shoved her fingers into her mouth and then proceeded to handle our packaged food without first washing her hands. Not only did she not seem to think she had done anything wrong, she then proceeded to argue with me that this was acceptable behavior as she's "not the one making the food".
Disgusting. I don't expect 4 star service or food at a fast food eatery but I do expect BASIC hygiene and DO NOT expect to have someone argue with me about it when I'm the one that has to eat it.
