Mcdonalds vs Burger King
I dont normally eat food like this but over the last couple of weeks I have had a couple of Mcdonalds for convenience whilst on the road and today I had a Burger King.
Now, not really being au fait with the menus I have chosen cheese burgers at Mcdonalds and today in the Burger King I was bamboozled with various items on the screens called Whoppers, Kings, Steakhouse etc etc, s I said to the server, can I have your version of a cheeseburger. She said, yes we have a cheeseburger. Now, I noticed that the burgers are different at the 2 places but the biggest difference is in price, I think the BK stuff was more expensive but the notable difference was in the tea. BK today only gave me a small cup and even that was not full!! I dont eat fries so cant compare. What is the difference between them and what do you like? |

Im trying to find out the difference between all their burgers though, Ive gone online to find a menu but it didnt have things on it that I found in the branch I went into. I hate it in these places when you dont regularly go and so dont really know what the food is and theres no description of it.

Cheeseburgers.
BK = 99p. Flame grilled but precooked and nuked to order. McD = £1.49. Both are pretty much identical with toppings. Ketchup, mustard, pickle. |

Yeah I think it's the flame grilled vs. griddled thing. I prefer the taste of McD burgers but BK chips (although if you don't eat chips I suppose it doesn't matter...)

I don't like either but if I was forced to choose I'd have Burger King.
I've never eaten anything I've enjoyed at McDonalds, even as I child I didn't like it. Sometimes my friends would have McDonalds birthday parties or McDonalds as a treat and I hated it! I genuinely don't understand why people love it so much. Either is very much a last resort when there's nothing else about but I'd say Burger King is marginally better. It's nothing to do with burgers either because I absolutely adore a good burger. |

Overall BK does seem to be more expensive but then again the burgers/meals are larger.
I think some of the meals, double angus?, are over £7 ![]() When you can get a Big Mac meal for under £5. As I say though it's not going to be as filling. I wonder how much a double QP or Big Tasty would cost? |

Ive only had a KFC once and I thought it was awful, greasy and salty.
mcdonalds, for example, salt both. are you sure you didn't just put too much salt on? |

I like Burger King but not McDonalds burgers. I find BK are a nicer texture, more meaty and better flavour. For me MD seem tasteless and soggy in comparison. I prefer BK's chips as well. I do like MD's big breakfast and chocolate milkshakes though.

I went to a burger King about 3 years back in Cardiff, it was ok, the cheese burger was ok. I did expect the chips to be chips, because when I went to one in Builth Wells a few years before, it had proper chips not fries.
Seemed to have changed to Fries went it went back to American owners. As for Mcdonalds, not been in one for got to be over 30 years, got no plans to go in one again. I prefer proper burgers to be honest, all these chain restaurants seems to be as bad as the next. |

I don't really see any BK's around West Yorkshire any more so I normally would go to McDonalds albeit not very often.

That is what you need to feel like you had something to eat. Cafe opposite our Mucky d, proper quarter pounder and proper chips £2.50, or it was a couple of years back, may have gone up now a bit. but at least you feel like you have had some food.

Can you source the burger from your local cafe? No, more than likely not. Cheap cafes tend to use very very low quality burgers and sausages full of the dreaded 'pink slime' and whatever else is available to throw in the mix. I'm no great fan of fast food but at least the big chains are clean...they have to be before some local environmental officer takes great joy in kicking them.
