Burger King or McDonald's

Just for fun...

I rarely have fast food but will do drive through McDonald's on occasion! I always get the same 6 nuggets, bbq sauce, cheese burger and fries! Bloody delicious!

However, the other day I had a drive through bacon double cheeseburger and onion rings from Burger King and it was on another level! (Can't have had a Burger King for about ten years)! I mentioned this to my friend and she agreed with me, that a bacon double cheeseburger from Burger King is far superior to anything from McDonald's.

So the question is, do you agree? Do you prefer Burger King over McDonald's? Or are we alone?

(Disclaimer: this is just for fun and I know there are much better/healthier/veganier foods out there)!

I eat more McDonald’s but prefer Burger King but not keen on Burger King fries or their prices I’m torn sorry.

@Hm2020 we did mention how much more expansive BK is to McDonald's, maybe that's why it tastes better haha!

BK far superior, but my 6 year old isn’t convinced so we eat more McDonald’s than Burger King

If you use the BK app there are loads of vouchers that take off considerable amounts for their meals. I prefer BK.

McDonald's fries but BK burgers 👍

Yep 👍

Tallulasdancingshoes · 22/07/2022 21:12

Much prefer McDonald’s. Burger King fries are rubbish and the buns taste too sweet. I’d never choose Burger King over McDonald’s. I’d even pick KFC over Burger King.

McDonald's fries but BK burgers 👍

Came on to say this but you beat me to it!

MrsTerryPratchett · 22/07/2022 21:13

BK, I'm posh, me.

PinkButtercups · 22/07/2022 21:14

Burger King all the way!

DoNutSweatTheSmallStuff · 22/07/2022 21:15

Definitely BK over McDs any day!

Double bacon cheeseburger, fries & a coke - sorted! 👌

McDonald's fries but BK burgers 👍

Definitely this.

BK bacon double cheeseburger all the way! They have got soooo expensive though lately and the local one to me is the absolute worst in the entire UK (I’ve visited many on various road trips) so it’s a rare treat these days.

Sunshineandrainbow · 22/07/2022 21:15

Love the BK 1.99 meat free Monday plant whopper!

FawnFrenchieMum · 22/07/2022 21:15

Umm I’m on the fence, we eat far more McDs but agree the BK burgers are way better but not the chicken (burgers or nuggets etc).

I think I either fancy one or the other, they have different forfilments so I can’t decide which is best 🤣

Dream meal maybe a XL bacon double cheese burger, McDs fries, chicken nuggets & KFC hot wings on the side 😅

DottyLittleRainbow · 22/07/2022 21:15

BK all the way!!

Hoppinggreen · 22/07/2022 21:17

No thanks, I don’t eat Fast food
Although I did get a mushroom double Swiss from BK a long time ago and it was pretty good

Indoctro · 22/07/2022 21:19

I'm Veggie and the BK plant whopper is miles better than the McPlant from McDonald's

TheGriffle · 22/07/2022 21:21

Burger King burgers are the best but McDonalds wins on chicken nuggets and fries.

Springdaisy · 22/07/2022 21:21

Burger King is way better in everything except the fries!

BringBackCoffeeCreams · 22/07/2022 21:25

Burger King is better for burgers, my favourite is the chicken royale, but nothing beats a McDonald's sausage and egg Mcmuffin.

lucelou82 · 22/07/2022 21:26

Loving all these replies... I haven't tried Burger King nuggets but I don't think they could be better than McDonald's?

Prefer Burger King. But don't go as often as McDs because the prices are extortionate

TwoMonthsOff · 22/07/2022 21:29

@Sunshineandrainbow
if you are vegan/vegetarian (rather than just having a meat free day) BK use the same griddle for all the burgers
Whereas McD use dedicated grill and utensils for their plant burgers

BigcatLittlecat · 22/07/2022 21:31

Used to love the BK bean burger, but they dont do then anymore! Prefer McD fries!
