Advantages: Good Food, Affordabvle(very), Usually good staff

Disadvantages: Foods are not to be eaten a few times a week

Yes well Burger King is good. Now I don't eat there a lot, actually I usually go to McDonalds (because its nearer to me) about once a week(sometimes less frequent). I like McDonalds although Burger King are nice. I usually go through Drive throughs, the usual one at Newport Road Cardiff, although sometimes, just outside Cardiff Gate there is a very small Moto service station which I go to. I sometimes eat at Cardiff town outlets and when somewhere I go there. Here is my experience:

DRIVE-THRU
The Drive throughs are a fast way if you want to collect your food and go somewhere else without leaving your car. In my nearest one in Newport Road you go behind the outlet and you may notice something. No window! Don't panick because instead is a more technological way- A speaker. You go near the speaker and the friendly staff(usually)will ask you what you want. Then you say what you want as there will be menus next to it and as they enter it onto there screen it shows you what you have ordered and the prices on a screen above the Speaker. They will tell you which window to go to. You drive yourself off to the window and they will give you what you requests. Then you are off! I don't know if other drive-thrus have the speakers but if they do then they are great and easy. You do speak to a proper person, but not to them directly. I was giggling when my dad was ordering. I don't know why. Information about my experiences on food will be after the next paragraph about instore...

INSTORE
If you visit a city-centre one, a moto service area(or any other service area for that matter)or one which simply doesn't have a drive-thru, you SHOULD like your experiences. You sometimes have to face a long queue but once you get there you will find it is well worth the wait. Usually I find the staff friendly, but like any company you get your horrible ones, not often with Burger King though. You will have a tray with your food on. There is an area
which you can pick up straws and all that complimants.

FOOD
The food, I have found is always good. I personnaly prefer them to McDonalds although Old Macs is also good too. The burgers are bigger and taste better than Old Macs(McDonalds). McDonalds can seem as if they have been flattened. The chips, although sometimes salty and fast foody, seem more like chips to me. I usually have a CheeseBurger, Extra Large Fries(some BK stores don't have them as XL Fries are new to BK) and if I am extra hungry I have an extra bag of small chips or a dessert. Same in McDonalds, I have this. I know that the food is not healthy, but you can not going round life thinking that you should never have food like this. Treat yourself, once a week. I know that you will enjoy it. Well I hope you do! Obviously you have your own experiences but mine are usually fine! As with McDonalds though, Kids meals acn me small, but they can also be for people who don't much. Prices are good to. Don't Woory there.

TOILETS
Toilets can be clean, however I have been in afew that are dirty. Mind you, its the public that make them dirty. When they are just cleaned they are good. They have all the facilities like toilets(obviously), sinks, soap and handdryers.

STAFF
Staff are quite good. Please don't go moaning if you see young people, and that goes with any job, young staff can be better than older ones sometimes. Obvoiusly some older staff can be better than young ones but don't go saying, "oh I don't like the staff they are young". Some or ,most are good.

I hope you have found this review useful. Please leave a comment at the end and rate. If I could add then please inform me. Oh, just one last thing. Burger King are good!

Back in my teenage days I used to always choose Burger King over MacDonald's but now I don't go anywhere near these places - I have to eat a healthy diet due to having diabetes and I don't actually like the taste of fatty burgers anymore.

Give me a nice chicken salad any day!

But good informative op...

Great review. I like the 99 p deals that BK do, but I usually prefer to get something a bit healthier if I eat out.
