Burger King

I have to say that I received exceptional service here today. The food was actually brought to my table. Unheard of at a fast food restaurant.

most likely the worst bk i have ever been too. they always mess up your order. tonight no exception chicken sandwich cold. ordered whoppers no cheese both had cheese the usual they r just bad

CAUTION: Do not walk out of their parking lot, even to run to another store for a minute, they have a shakedown crew waiting to put a boot on your car and/​or tow it. I guess they’re mad because Five Guys came to town and stole away any quality clientele they may have had. DO YOU REALLY THINK BOOTING/​TOWING PEOPLE’S CARS IS GOING TO HELP YOUR BUSINESS?! YOUR PARKING LOT IS EMPTY ANYWAY BECAUSE YOUR PRODUCT SUCKS. Just had to pay $ 60 to take a boot off my car because I had to run to a store and left it parked there for literally under 5 mins. And I was one of 3 cars in the same situation. Get The F*ck Outta Long Beach, WE DON’T WANT A BURGER KING HERE! I used to get breakfast here at the drivethru when I was in a rush in the morning, NEVER AGAIN. Keep your greasy garbage food and your parking spots. Most of your clientele are skells anyway, they probably don’t even drive, so who are you saving the spots for… IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BURGER IN LONG BEACH, GO TO FIVE GUYS, IT’s RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS DUMP.

Second time visiting this BK as a prelude to the beach. I was surprised how clean it was compared to many of the BKs I’ve been to in the city. They are usually dirty, messy, and smell like homeless people. But not this one!
Service is pretty standard here. No complaints there. This is the perfect stop for food before you head to the beach.

First off, it should be noted that I do not usually frequent fast food joints. But, in a pinch, i will partake. Having 20 minutes to spare waiting for the next train to depart from the Long Beach station, i opted to visit Burger King instead of the Five Guys right next door. I needed something very quickly.
This Burger King was nearly empty and was very clean. There were 3 people in line ahead of me but this was no big deal. I expected to be in and out in less than 10 minutes. The customer at the register was counting change for her meal which took a while. Instead of expediting the following order, the employee waited patiently. Who could blame them? they had no where to go.
The next two people had a hard time deciding what they wanted to order. Its burger king! the menu is the same everywhere!
When it was finally my turn, with my money in hand and my order already picked in my mind, i went up to the cashier and he said «be right back», left and went to make change. When he returned he proceeded to empty rolls of quarters, nickels and dimes and couldnt be bothered to ask me what i wanted. i glanced at my watch. TEN minutes had passed since i walked into the EMPTY burger king.
I placed my order. He repeated it a few times. then I waited.
and waited.
I watched as 3 employees stood by the warm plate just talking and laughing– having a good ol time.
Still, no order.
5 minutes later, my order was ready. they packed it to go and ran the hell out of there with only 3 minutes left to catch my train.
The food was fresh. It was decent (even though i hate fast food) but for what I wanted, i probably would have waited the same amount of time at Five Guys.
Guys, get your shit together. Its fast food because its supposed to be fast.

Every time I pull into this drive through, I pull out wondering why they cannot seem to get their act together. The food is consistent and what you expect from Burger King, but the wait is confusing as if you’re supposed to be speed dating with the teller.

It’s your average BK, nothing that stands out about another one, but they’re some memories here for me. And to be able say I saw a drunk man set himself on fire here by accident when his ciggartte fell in his booze soaked flannel, gains this one an extra star.

If you use the email address on the back of your receipt, you can get a code for a regular whopper, chicken or other sandwich with the purchase of a drink and fries, not too bad and BK has some other coupons on line. They still have good service and it’s BK, not gourmet but good.

Much like the Five Guys next door, my enjoyment of this particular store of this particular franchise is immensely enhanced by its proximity to the beach. While the arrival of said Five Guys diminished the importance of this Burger King outpost in my mind, a big Coke slushie and a large carton of hot, crispy, super-​unhealthy onion rings makes the soggy, stiff-​haired ride back home on the LIRR much more tolerable. Naturally, since the summer customer base is almost entirely loud, sweaty beachgoers in various states of undress tracking ocean water and sand all over the place, in terms of cleanliness and atmosphere this is easily one of the worst «restaurants» you ever will see. (And pity on you if you ever find yourself having to use one of the restrooms.) However, all the more reason to get your order to go and book it to the LIRR train that’s likely leaving in two minutes, thus enabling you to make the ride wet, sandy, AND smelly for the passengers next to you.
