In terms of quality, burger king is destroying all other fast food places, amirite?

i find at least historically burger king had much more variation location to location, people who hate it grew up near a bad one and those who love it a good one. although in general they lean towards bad

It blows my mind how the quality can vary so much. They're the same patties, from the same suppliers cooked on the same type grills, at the same temperature for the same amount of time and out with the same salad likely from the same supplier pre cut and ready to go much like the chips, cooked in the same oil at the same temperature for the same amount of time with a similar amount of salt on (hard to be accurate with) I just don't get it

by Own_Resolve 1 week ago

cleanliness and storage will vary a lot, if the patties are stored improperly, the grill doesn't get cared for properly, intentive workers over or under cooking them aswell

Most of the big chains have a theoretically tasty product as it was put together by people that know something about food using the quality of ingredients they have at the price point they offer. The problem is what others have said here, how well preparation standards are followed, storage standards, cleaning standards, service and training and everything else in handling. That's why many of the same chains, when moved to a non-us context that is well managed with trained and attentive staff who do everything by the book, are very good and vastly out earn their US counterparts. I forgot what percent of KFC's revenue now comes from China but it's a huge portion because of this dynamic. It's actually never made a ton of sense to me why the big chains don't enforce their own standards when bad local stores and local management and poorly paid and trained crews damage the brand. I guess they make enough money serving crap in a crappy way to not care and people just keep going. Now they are raising prices past the level of sit down diner levels, I guess we will see how long people will put up with it.

I don't think the one near me have changed their fryer oil in about a decade. You can smell old oil all the way in the parking lot. It doesn't matter how much better the quality is if it all tastes like burnt oil. They also never have everything I order and never get the order right anyways. I'd love to have a good one nearby, because they're the only fast food place with a permanent vegetarian menu item (except Taco Bell, but that's a different crave).

I love BK - their food is so much better than Wendy's and McDonald's and I don't feel like their prices are as outrageous as the others either, you can still get pretty good 2 for $5 deals and their food is quality AND I haven't had a time where they got my special order wrong. I have a problem with cheese/dairy and if I go to Wendy's/McDonald's 99 times out of 100 they'll still put cheese on even if I ask for my food without. BK gets it right, whatever the special order is. If I ask for no cheese, there's no cheese. If I ask for extra pickles, there's extra pickles. They're running a tight ship over there, 100% agree with you.

Their fries have always been the best. But burger king just microwaves a lot of their stuff, paint on the grill marks and put the burgers on a flame shortly just to be able to claim "flame grilled". You would smell that if it was actually true. Their products are full to the brim with artificial flavours. (No fast food chain gives stomach crams to as many people as the king.) I like the taste of their food, but it is not high quality at all.

Burger king went downhill for me from like 1995-.. now. I tried them sporadically during that time and I always end up disappointed. The tender crisp used to be a great chicken sandwich.

I'm in the minority in that I think McDonalds fries are still better. But the two fries are vastly different and it depends on your personal preference. I used to consistently go to Burger King but that was mainly because they always had much better deals. Now? At least up here it Canada it costs over $6 to get a Whopper and no decent deals in sight. And yes, I know that with inflation, everything is going up. But it still sucks that the price has more than doubled when considering the previous deals.
