| - This review relates only to Burger King's currently advertised chicken burger. I needed a quick bite and thought of the King with its various chicken sandwiches and bevy of soft drinks. They were advertising a lovely looking chicken burger sandwich so I ordered it. Looked scrumptious. It isn't. Don't do it. Put it down and slowly step away from the sandwich.
Even with lettuce, tomato, and cheese, it is barely palatable (and I was raised by wolves and born in a barn, so my standards are not so high).
The chicken patty is difficult to describe. The texture is like a soft undercooked McDonald's sausage McMuffin patty and a little larger. It is not breaded and was in my sandwich pretty warm. It is a white patty with a few charbroiling marks. Because the taste is so weird, I subjected myself to a third bite only for purpose of trying to describe the flavor for you. It took me a few minutes to look at it and marvel at its curiosity so by then it was lukewarm. On my third bite, I nailed it! It tastes like a McDonald's Mc rib patty without the barbecue sauce. The fact that it is white and softish but tastes like a brown McRib patty really throws me off.
I've put a lot of weird things in my mouth in my time, but this is the strangest and worst thing yet. (As a barometer for my fellow Yelpers, know that I enjoy raw fish, sushi, poi, spam, cold tofu, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, onions, octopus, and runny eggs, among other things. My stomach is no shrinking violet.. some would say "expanding" though).
I don't like harshing on places or their food. But this is a weird one. Wow.
But, to be short, the restaurant itself is quite pleasant. Well lit, clean and nice courteous people. Long live the King. Death to the chicken burger!
