    Eaten at Burger King lately?

    A few years ago Burger King was taken over by a private investment group.I recently read a story about how this private equity group thinks it has got Burger King back to a level that they want to take it public again.
    Coincidentally, I ate at a Burger King about 3 weeks ago for the first time in 2-3 years. I was struck by how much better the experience was from several years ago. Good employees, good food, no trouble. I have rarely set foot in a Burger King over the last 20 years, because they became inconsistent. After that recent visit, I had decided to try it again before long.

    Anybody else noticed an improvement in Burger King? McDonalds has been the Apple of fast food for the last several years, never disappointing. I wonder if its possible the fickle consumer might be ready to try something new, and give Burger King a chance? To me, Burger King has a better basic burger, if you can get it without some type of hassle.

    It has gotten better. They are still lacking in facilities though. McDonalds has a bunch of new shiny stores. BKs still feel like they are left over from the 80s.

    BK has a way to go.

    On the North Shore is a McDonalds with a tropical hale (house) look. It even has an indoor waterfall.

    I heard on the news the other day that this past year, Burger King slipped behind Wendy's for third in the burger market for the first time ever, and that's why they're revamping their menu.

    I have always been a Whataburger guy but when I dont want to spend 7-10$ I go to Burger King. Great food.

    Whataburger is a dark horse. They're always pretty good, and I guess are big in Texas. Got some commercials out that make me hungry.

    I'd moved BK pretty far down on my list. Maybe I'll give em another try?

    I noticed that they renovated the BK on 19th in Moore and it looks much better.

    Burger King and Wendys are way above McDonalds when it comes to burgers, imo. But price, fries, and efficiency are still behind.

    That's cause you take square poops and we all know how hard it is forcing a round turd through a square hole.

    There's something about the BK burgers that just doesn't taste right to me. I do like that they have onion rings.

    After the car wreck and taking some pain meds for a few days, it's been tough forcing any of them out..like pooping some cement blocks.

    The BK fries have improved a lot.

    Another thing they do is offer a lot of specialty burgers on a rotating schedule. The don't have anything to compare to a McRib but that is probably a good thing.

    Yes, this is true. But both are so far behind Ronald, it doesn't even matter.

    I haven't had Burger King in probably 5 years. Maybe I'll give it another try next time I'm hungry and there's one close. If I'm in the market for a cheap hamburger, I usually just go to Sonic. They have pretty good burgers....for a fast food joint.

    I worked at Mickey D's -- put me through my first two years at OU. But I haven't eaten at one in nearly 20 years. There used to be a BK near where I used to live, but it got bulldozed about five years ago. And if I feel the craving for a good burger, I eat a Five Guys bacon cheeseburger, with pickles, grilled onions, and ketchup. Holds my burger cravings in check for about a month.
