Burger King

Other reviews got it right, this BK doesn’t even deserve one star. It’s dirty, slow, and the customer service is terrible at best. A number of times they have messed up my order in the drive-​through.

I would like to start off by saying that I am rating this, keeping in mind that this is a fast food restaurant. I also want to say that I have been recently introduced to the fast food world by a good friend of mine who is an expert when it comes to fast food. So, the main thing I want to compliment this place is for their amazing icee (also called slurpees or freezies). As my friend says it «this place has just the right consistency to make it an amazing icee; not too watered down nor too solid.»
If you ever stop by this burger king, please give the coke icee a try. You won’t regret it. It was so good to the point where I asked my friend to go back again. I NEVER SUGGEST GOING TO A FAST FOOD PLACE BEFORE MY FRIEND DOES. This means a lot.
Another thing, it is not always the case but once in a while, if they cook it just right and you come when they are just freshly made, the fries are AMAZING! My friend and I just kept saying how good it was aftere every bite. The outside was crunchy, yet when you bite into it, it was nice and moist. :)
Close to campus and these two things make it worthy of 3 stars!

I eat human feces and thought this restaurant was just «okay.»

I am the father of a four year old, who, like most four year old’s loves McDonald’s. Loves it. When he learned that there are other McDonald’s-like places in the world, his little mind was blown, and he had to try them. Burger King was the first one. I remember a time when Burger King went head to head with McD’s, but clearly based on this experience they came out the loser in that fight.
Ordering experience: slow, painfully slow with an impatient 4 year old, and also really really slow. When we finally reached the front (after the four previous customers had ordered in the span of nearly 10 minutes) the cashier was rude and honestly just a little bit mean to my kid. Thankfully the kid was so amped I don’t think he noticed.
The wait for the food was interminable.
The food itself was room temperate, and oddly our fries had like three different kinds of fries in the containers.
The place is filthy. I had to clean our table and seats.
Parking is a freaking nightmare.
The 4 year old? His official review is as follows:
«I guess I like Burger King, but I LOVE McDonald’s!»
I hate them both, but I hate this Burger King especially.

I’m a delivery driver in the campus area and ended up eating here out of starvation and necessity. They got my 1 item order wrong; I ordered a Whopper Jr with cheese, no tomato, and received a regular Whooper, no cheese, with tomatoes. I didn’t even bother coming back to complain as they took almost 10 minutes to get me through the drive thru in the first place, even though I was the only car and they were dead inside too. They also treat their customers poorly; the man at the window didn’t say a single word to me. He took my card, handed me my burger and then started talking to a coworker. If I could give them 0 stars I would.
The only silver lining? This place offers some of the best people watching in the city. All kinds of crazies wander into this place from the Plasma Donation place across the street.

Winner winner chicken dinner, best people watching award in the metro area goes to this Burger King (minus the State Fair & The Mall of America)! The food is cheap– its fast food; you already know what you’re getting into! Saying that the location is sketchy; is beyond an understatement. The typical customer is a mix of Charlie Sheen, Gary Busey & Flava Flav with a side of the infamous Dave Chappelle crack head character– Tyrone Biggums (if you aren’t familiar with the Tyrone Biggums character, I highly suggest checking it out on YouTube).
Here is the low down on the typical scene 7 days a week; This Burger King is conveniently located on the heavily used #16 and #50– Metro Transit bus route (a lot of people wait at this BK until their bus comes, almost like a substitute bus shelter) — On the U of M campus — a liquor store is next door — and a crosswalk away is the oh so fabulous CSL Plasma center! All of these factors combine to make one amazing people watching love fest!
On Friday I want there to grab a quick bite to eat. As I am standing in line the cashier looks at me and «says» one minute as she rolls her eyes. About 4 minutes later, she approaches the counter after yelling at one of her employees– the next thing out of her mouth was «ugh, sometimes I just hate my job» — Hunny, I would hate your job too!
After I placed my order I stood aside and let my guilty pleasure of people watching ensue. A lady sitting alone was feeding herself French fries. I say feeding because she easting them like one would attempt to feed a child broccoli with the «here comes the choo choo train» trick!
The guy standing next to me had a nice iodine patch with a Band-​Aid on his arm from giving plasma, he looked like he was about to pass out. A few moments later, a guy walks in with a 24 pack of Budweiser, ready to get his grub on! You can usually find a couple homeless people sleeping there, day or night — but hey I don’t blame them, cheap eats & somewhere warm to pass out– you can’t go wrong. And you can always get some good laughs from the after bar close college student crowd.
Multiple times I have been offered to buy drugs while I am waiting for my order, let alone I have seen a lot of people buy drugs here (just for clarification, it’s the customers doing the drug deals, not the employees, but I wouldn’t put it past them). Some University Police Officers have told me that they regularly go here to check for criminals on the loose and other crime related activity.
Long story short, get in and get your butt out of there like there’s no tomorrow! Better yet, go through the drive-​thru! Avoid this BK at all costs, unless you are like me, and absolutely get a kick out of people watching.
This BK truly doesn’t deserve even 1 star, however I give it 1 star for the people watching amazingness & because I have an incredibly odd sense of humor!

This was aweful. My 10yr old son was having a bit of a meltdown deciding on desert. The employee & the two customers in front of us in line, thought it was worth staring at. I tried getting my son & I out. Once outside, the employee was looking at me & smiling.
My sister-​in-​law went back in for me to get my son a Hershey pie. 3 customers were served & dealt with after she ordered the pie. The fridge holding the pie is right under the front counter. It would have taken 60sec to get the pie, and have us on her way. Very, very poor service.
If only Raising Cane’s had desert…

What? A review for a fast food joint — well, sort of. I went here to pick up the $ 7 discount ride coupons for Nickelodean Universe. I am not a fast food fan so I didn’t actually buy anything from Burger King, but the staff greeted me as soon as I came in and were friendly enough to wish me a good day even though I didn’t buy anything from them. I felt bad about going there and getting the coupons without buying anything … and I thought the friendliness of the person working there deserved my taking some time to at least give them 3 stars.
On a food note: I have previously tried their spicy burger (the one with the lame commercial about the onion being tortured while it was growing). See, I hear «spicy» and I’m all ears. It really wasn’t spicy, but then I’m Asian and I like my spicy food. The burger was huge. My brother got a double stack. I don’t know how he managed to finish it because my stomach hurt just trying to finish my single.
