Every burger on the Burger King menu, ranked

No ragrets.

Sponsored | November 10, 2018, 10:45 AM

I was just minding my own business when my colleague texted me outta no where.

The conversation went something like this:

Colleague: HEY! DO YOU WANT TO TRY EVERY ITEM ON THE BK MENU FOR FREE? *Something something*

Me: Why the heck not?

Colleague: Okay but you have to *something something*

Turns out that *something something* meant writing an article reviewing every single burger on the BK menu.

The call of flame grilled beef patties on beef patties sandwiched between fluffy buns distracted me from the real intent, which was to make me do actual work.

And here we go.

20. BK Chick'N Crisp with Cheese

Not really a fan of chicken burgers in general, but hey, at least it is fried.

19. Long Chicken

The long and short of it: I really prefer beef burgers.

18. Hamburger

Okay, got to be fair to our fowl friends. This looks like something you will eat in between meals. Tastes as typical as it gets.

17. Double Cheeseburger

IMHO, the innocuous cheeseburger is a good barometer of the overall standards of any fast food establishment. And BK’s cheeseburger makes the grade.

16. Tendercrisp Chicken

15. Tendergrill Chicken

Ok, BK’s chicken burgers got game. Really trying very hard to change my mind about chicken burgers.

Here’s why I really don’t like chicken burgers: the potential discovery of chicken breast in my burger.

But this Tendergrill Chicken is made from thigh meat, which makes it real juicy and tender. And it’s grilled so you get that charred taste. Nice.

14. Double Fish'N Crisp

Fact: BK isn’t known for its fish.

Fact 2: Cheese, tartar sauce and crispy fish make a tasty combo.

Fact 3: BK fish burgers are underrated.

13. Ultimate Tendercrisp Chicken

This burger has the usual suspects, fried chicken, lettuce, mayo and swiss cheese.

What makes it ultimate? Turkey ham and turkey bacon.

The introduction of the larger bird keeps things moist and gives the burger not just its name, but also extremely balanced flavours.

Conclusion: Two birds are better than one.

12. BBQ Turkey Bacon

If you are looking for something full of meat and none of the vegetable nonsense, look no further. Perfect sacrifice for the carnivorous demon in you.

11. WHOPPER Jr

10. Western WHOPPER Jr

The junior offspring of the WHOPPER, and its Western cousin, retain all the goodness of the original so that less-adventurous people can give it a shot.

Thank you for being so inclusive, BK.

9. Western WHOPPER

The Western WHOPPER is the WHOPPER with a lasso. And by lasso we mean turkey bacon.

Another proof that BK’s burgers are very fertile, this is probably WHOPPER’s and BBQ Turkey Bacon’s offspring.

8. WHOPPER, and 7. WHOPPER with Cheese

This grandfather of burgers need no introduction.

But here’s some info that you might not know, according to Politico:

  • the WHOPPER is 61 years old.
  • BK’s co-founder, Jim McLamore created it to slug it out with rival restaurants who were creating larger burgers.
  • BK’s owner named it the WHOPPER because “it would convey something big”

And of course, how could McLamore forget the cheese?

6. Ultimate Angus Classic BBQ

I see classic and I immediately think boring, or the product team has run out of ideas.

This is a but story, obviously.

BK should just name it the Flame-grilled-thicc-juicy-Angus-Beef-in-between-Corn-Dusted-Sourdough-buns-with-American-cheese-crispy-Turkey-bacon burger.

Stop short changing yourself, BK.

5. Smokey BBQ Beef

The new kid on the block (limited time only, guys), this baby looks more than a handful with a generous serving of onion rings, turkey bacon, cheese, flame-grilled beef patty, mayo and a healthy dose of smokey BBQ sauce.

Here’s a photo of me trying to devour said new kid.

What can I say? It’s an explosive combination with all the ingredients coming together for a rave party in my mouth.

It’s so intoxicating that I begin to engage in a bit of friendly banter with the burger.

It says: “You want more of me don’t you?”

Yes, please.

4. Smokey BBQ Tendergrill Chicken

I’d like to bring your attention to the turkey bacon, which looks a lot like the devil’s horn. Which gives me a new adjective to include in my limited food blogger lexicon: devilish.

Remember how I didn’t really enjoy chicken burgers? After trying so many chicken burgers, I have officially changed my mind with this one.

I’m not sure if it’s the premium-looking buns, the turkey bacon or the smokey BBQ sauce. Wait, it must be the thick juicy chicken thigh.

Be careful while dancing with this devil. You’ve been warned.

3. Mushroom Swiss Tendergrill Chicken

Mushroom Swiss in this burger? Ok, I officially love chicken burgers now.

2. Ultimate Angus Mushroom Swiss

Alright, I confess: I have a thing for Mushroom Swiss. So, my judgement is kinda wonky. This is an upgrade of the Mushroom Swiss with the Angus beef patty, which tickles my taste buds but still cannot do what the Mushroom Swiss does to me…

1. Mushroom Swiss

My one true love. No other burger can replace this. Yes, even the Ultimate Angus Mushroom Swiss. All the fond childhood memories that come flooding back with every bite.

That’s me being overwhelmed by all the Mushroom Swiss emotions. There’s not mushroom for improvement with this.

Mmmm. Don’t stop, more Mushroom Swiss please.

PS: Yes, I skipped some items like the Fried Chicken and the Crispy Chicken Cutlet (those are yummy too) but don’t take my word for it.

Go try them. The calories are worth it.
