Aibu to complain to Burger King and ask for a refund via Uber eats ? I don’t often eat here but I couldn’t get out to the shops. this was it and it was also stone cold. I looked at it and I think it doesn’t look right. I only had a few bites.

Need a higher quality image really it's too blurred. Looks OK? If it's stone cold why didn't you hand it back

Annabella92 · 05/01/2025 18:48

Oh Uber eat, sorry, clearly I can't take in information!

AquaPeer · 05/01/2025 18:48

It looks alright to be honest- what do you think the problem is? It looks dry and over cooked but not like- dangerous?

I will say though I got food poisoning from Burger King in October. I’d didn’t bother with a refund, what’s the point really.

BuildABear97 · 05/01/2025 18:49

It’s all this like stuff on the surface. Is that normal?

It doesn’t look any worse than they normally do (I’m not a fan of Burger King, give me a McDonald’s any day)!

AquaPeer · 05/01/2025 18:50

I think that’s just fat that’s formed shapes on the griller and dried

SmoothOperatorCarlosSainz · 05/01/2025 18:51

It looks absolutely fine. I've learned with McDonalds and Burger King the food needs to be put in the microwave for a minute. It's not the restaurants fault it's just their food doesn't travel very well. But no that burger looks fine

Urgh!! I doubt Uber Eats will refund, they never usually help.

Floralnomad · 05/01/2025 18:52

Looks like a plain burger from a burger place to me , a bit dry but I don’t eat BK so perhaps that’s how they are when they get cold .

I eat a deconstructed Mac Donald's/Burger King burger in times of desperation. They all look like that. There's nothing wrong with it (believe it or not because you are right they look disgusting.. I assume it's to cover up the bits of animal they use but rather you not know about).

Hazeby · 05/01/2025 18:53

Looks normal.

Whether it looks appetising or not is a whole other question.

HPandthelastwish · 05/01/2025 18:53

That's normal for Burger King, loads of images if you goggle it something to do with the way they cook it and fat/steam bubbles that pop and leave those circles

Anything like that needs zapping in the microwave, it's designed to be eaten there and then not transported home, I have to zap it even if I E bought it and driven straight home.

sushibelt · 05/01/2025 18:54

That's what they always look like. I thought they were just bits of mushed up cow bone, guts and and gristle but I think it's fat as they're quite careful with cow offal these days

DailyEnergyCrisis · 05/01/2025 18:54

That looks like it’s moisture that has formed on the burger- too many on the grill at once or grill not hot enough. Doesn’t look nice but isn’t dangerous as long as it’s cooked through. The meat is poor quality so high in moisture and needs a really good blast of heat to get it looking decent.

BuildABear97 · 05/01/2025 19:01

Thank you! At least it’s not harmful. Won’t be having Burger King again in a hurry though

I've ordered from Uber Eats once (they only just started coming out to my village).
1/2 the order arrived cold.
The other 1/2 arrived (via bicycle - it's a 30 min bike ride) 40 mins later. Also cold.
I got 1/2 my money back.

WhenTheDragonsCame · 05/01/2025 19:50

I was in McDonald's earlier and one of the workers bagged up an order but the delivery driver wasn't there so it was just put on a shelf with a couple of other orders. Not sure how long it was there for but explains why it always arrives cold!

Optigan · 05/01/2025 19:51

It looks offal, OP. 😃

Dahlietta · 05/01/2025 20:19

Yeah, BK burgers have always looked like that in my experience. Gross.
