Burger King or McDonalds?

89 replies

Have to make a choice for dinner tomorrow. As a family we don't usually do fast food. Probably go to one or the other once a year. It will be me and two children 7 and 9 years old. We are not particularly fussy and a non-healthy meal won't matter as it's a one-off.

Which would you choose? And what would you order?

Out of those two choices it would be McDonald's, and I would go for either a McChicken sandwich or the chicken nuggets with sweet curry dip. The beef always seems rubbery to me.
Oh and a banana milkshake and the obligatory fries.

Recently had a chicken sandwich thingy from burger king, really enjoyed it actually. Kids prefer mc d chips though.

McDonald's signature burger (for adults) it's as good as the gourmet burger chains but half the price

Burger King. Bacon whopper

Megan2018 · 01/05/2019 15:09

McDonalds every time.

I'd have a large signature classic meal with fries and a Sprite. I could murder one of those right now!

Burger King. McDonald's food is always cold and flabby. Ick! At least BK's hot food is hot!

McDonald's is winning slightly at the moment. Keep your votes and recommendations coming.

@Squiff70
It's the opposite where I go - the Burger King is rank!
The McDonalds is made to order (well what I have is anyway), the BK has been sat around and the chips are dry.

McDonalds, burger king tastes like something from a cheap burger van! Envy

After seeing some hygiene reports from Burger King recently I've been put off eating there completely :S

chemenger · 01/05/2019 15:19

McDonald’s sweet chilli chicken wrap every time.

PointlessUsername · 01/05/2019 15:21

McDonalds - share box of nuggets, Double cheeseburger, chips & a Banana Milkshake.

PinkHeart5914 · 01/05/2019 15:22

Always McDonald’s out of the 2, Burger King alway leaves me disappointed. McDonald’s at least does wha it says in the tin

I’d have
Quarter pounder with cheese, fries, Banana milkshake and a McFlurry

Crunchymum · 01/05/2019 15:22

Burger King and I'd have 2 hamburgers and a portion of onion rings. Kids would prefer Macdonalds.

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 01/05/2019 15:23

McDonald's every time. Find burger kings burgers really dry

mimibunz · 01/05/2019 15:25

Burger King chicken royale with cheese, fries and a Diet Coke.

Butterymuffin · 01/05/2019 15:25

If Burger King still did the Mushroom Double Swiss, them. But as they don't, McDonalds for the better kids' offerings.

NeverHadANickname · 01/05/2019 15:25

McDonald's and I'd usually get a cheeseburger happy meal 🙈 or chicken selects with chips, sour cream dip and a banana milkshake.

BollocksToBrexit · 01/05/2019 15:26

Burger king halloumi burger or chicken royale.

Fantasisa · 01/05/2019 15:26

I hate them both. Which is a shame because I'm not against the DC eating them from time to time!

LemonBreeland · 01/05/2019 15:26

I much prefer Burger King. It always tastes better.

Magmatic80 · 01/05/2019 15:27

Bacon double cheeseburger from BK. With fries. And coke.

Kpo58 · 01/05/2019 15:31

Mac Donalds. Burger King has gone really downhill.

Twotome · 01/05/2019 15:32
