Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The Chicken royale was fresh/hot/crispy and definitely just cooked, lettuce was fresh/green and bun lovely/ toasted, and Bacon King was too."

  • "Burgers tasted of chip fat."
  • "Burgers were cold and nuggets had no taste."
  • "Another very disappointing burger from here again, plant based whopper this time. Where's me cheese, crisp lettuce, tomato and onions!! It was cold together with cold fries."
  • "Food was cold coffee was minging."
  • "Food was cold and the service was terrible."
  • "Worst Burger King in the UK... All staff have some kind of issue and struggle to get your order right."

  • "Order was made up quickly, place was spotless, answered my questions about the menu."
  • "Tiny place, but whopping burgers. Really enjoyed my visit."

Service Efficiency

Pros:

  • "Looks like they cook to order here so there’s a bit of a wait.. we waited 15 mins for three burgers and a kids meal."
  • "Highlight was the coffee as it was hot."
  • "First time at Burger King and we will definitely be back!"

Cons:

  • "It took 35 minutes to get through the drive through when there was only 10 cars."
  • "Empty restaurant and waited almost 20 mins for a burger and after we drove away from the drive through, we found that they had charged for a double XL but only gave us a single burger."
  • "Painfully slow drive through, you will be stuck in the one way system for 30mins even if there are only 10 cars in the queue."
  • "40mins in the drive through whilst watching at least 50 cars go through super fast McDonald’s drive through."
  • "Just waited half an hour to be served in drive thru with only 4 cars in front of us."
  • "The wait is just not worth it! £15 for 2 small portions, immature staff in the back playing on whilst customers have to wait nearly 30 minutes for our order that was warm."
  • "After a 25 minute wait in a cue of 4 cars ... was served a ice cold cheese burger."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Other than that the food is ok, good value when you use the app for offers."

Cons:

  • "Since when was it nearly £7 for a whopper regular meal?"
  • "The owner of this franchise has obviously had issues with his profits from people using the app because the prices of the regular menu have absolutely sky rocketed in comparison to other BK’s."
  • "Absolutely the worst run business in South Shields £17 for 2 cold burgers we both had food poisoning from here."
  • "Offered a BOGOFF on the app. Ordered fries to go with the burgers. Supposed to be gourmet burgers. Ridiculous price for what they are."
  • "My only issue is the price at BK, prices are too high and paying over £10 for 2 burgers only not meals is not a regular thing."
