Burger King

Aside from being sketchy, they ran out of all dipping sauces…
That level of poor planning is unacceptable at the best of times, but when you know a promotion is coming, come on. That’s amateur.
People don’t come here for the charming atmosphere, they come here to have it their way, right away.
One star!

They have updated the place since I last visited which is plus.
On the negative side, the food preparation was slow and they gave me the wrong order. Considering I did not visit during the lunch/​dinner rush, this should not be the case. It took them almost 15 – 20 minutes to prepare the original order. Which, IMO, is not fast food.
The worst thing about this location was the fact that there are beggars (yes!) that roam freely and the management does nothing about it. I have rarely seen a beggar in Toronto or Canada and yet they found a way to make it here. Not acceptable!
I will go here for convenience and take out as the worst case scenario. Otherwise, me thinks not!

Obviously you cannot expect much from a Burger King — it is what it is. But this location hits ALL the bad points on anyone’s list.
The food is not fresh, some of the customers are sketchy (to say the least) and it is filthy.
The Good:
1. Location. It’s centrally located downtown across from the Eaton Centre — since there is no BK in the EC.
The Bad:
1. Filthy. Nothing is more of a turn off than a dirty resto — no matter what price you’re paying for the food.
2. Food. The food here has most definitely been sitting out for far too long.
3. Clientele. Being that it is so central, there is a lot of unsavory individuals dining/​using the washroom here.
Recommendation: stay away!

Came here on a late Friday night with the goal of just getting some quick take-​out. Not much to say about the actual food — it is what it is according to typical fast food standards. There was definitely something a bit «off» and depressing about this Burger King. The service itself was quick enough at the late hour (as there was just a handful of others in the place). Something about seeing multiple single men passed out (or nearly passed out) at their own tables that was off-​putting…

So I’m starting my review while I wait in line for a fast food restaurant. You would think that if you have a line of more than a dozen customers you would open up more than 1 cash register. It only took 15 minutes and another dozen to show up before they decide to open up the 2^nd register. Not to mention a homeless women decides to cut through the whole line and the staff seemed to be fine that it happened. The staff were unable to handle the situation as the homeless women decided to be messing around in the condiments area. Management was kinda unprofessional on how she was speaking to the homeless women. The nuggets that I ordered were kinda dry and small. I was not too impressed. Although they did have all selections of dipping sauces that another Burger King did not have as they were running out. Only thing that kept me coming back was the 10 nuggets for $ 1.79 deal. Jimstar Out!

Sorry, Burger King at 243 Yonge Street near the Eaton Centre, but you are just not trying hard enough. Maybe your staff are too bored to take pride in their work. I don’t know.
Lineups are long and move slowly. As usual in fast food places, there are lots of empty tables, none of which have been wiped.
I have been in here a few times and it is the same every time:
First, a filthy guy comes in from the street to my table and asks me for money «for food». When I refuse, he becomes angry and goes to the next table. They refuse and he curses at them and continues.
I didn’t get a chance to tell him that that he can go to any one of several charities like the Salvation Army and get home made food three times a day every day of the week. Better food than I can afford. But he knows that already. BK staff are wandering around but pretend they don’t see him.
Next, a supposedly deaf person comes in from the street and throws a card down on my table (which I consider my personal space during the time I am eating). He puts cards down on other tables, then goes back to each table and indicates that he wants money. When I refuse, he slams his hand down on the table, grabs the card, and flounces out. BK staff ignore this.
Since both of above have happened repeatedly, I think it is time to go elsewhere for my burgers.
How dumb can you be, Burger King, to let your paying customers be repeatedly verbally assaulted.

Junk food in an ugly unwelcoming joint. Weird location, open 24 hours a day. Good place to meet heroin addicts and assorted runaway teenagers. The food is edible and served quickly enough so I guess this place serves its purpose perfectly. Burger King, Have it your way.

This rating is specific to lunch.
Yes, this is fast food.
Yes, it’s downtown.
So the experience is what you would expect in a big city, downtown, fast food location. But the reason I rate this two stars is they can’t seem to handle a lunch rush with good speed.

Something’s wrong with this picture. I can’t quite put my finger on it. What is it?
This location is interesting. They have an upstairs dining area that I have never seen open. They have staff that don’t seem to get along but are still very quick with getting the orders out. But most of all, it just doesn’t have that burger King feeling.
Today I ordered a Whiplash Whopper. I think they name it so because you’re going to get whiplash turning your head in every possible direction wondering where the spice is. Maybe it fell under the table? Nope. Maybe it’s all stuck to the wrapper? Nope. Then the whiplash comes as you snap your head back in amazement realizing that the burger has no spice to it. Sure the advertising claims to have spicy mayo and pepper jack cheese, but this burger is about as spicy as a glass of milk.
At least the Angry Whopper had jalapeños.
Oh yeah, and that thing I couldn’t quite put my finger on? It was that there was no music playing. Have you ever been to a fast food restaurant that doesn’t have music playing in the background? Don’t, it’s creepy.
