I am not a fast food lover let alone one who likes Burger King. Especially with the poor service and food from the other locations in the Champaign-Urbana area. In fact, I have avoided those Burger Kings like the plague for years. I have on occassion wanted a Whopper Jr. I decided to give this new location a shot. I went through the drive through and ordered just a Whopper Jr. The person taking my order was actually nice and I could understand them - wow that is so different!!! I then proceeded to the window and the person there was also very nice and smiling!! Then they took my money then handed me my food. Just like that. I didn't have to deal with any rude employee (which has always been the case at the other locations) and my food came out quick like a normal fast food drive through should be. I was shocked! I have never gotten my food that quick at any other Burger King in my life. Not exaggerating either. There has always been at least a 10 minute wait for crappy food.
The Whopper Jr itself was really good. The first thing that I noticed was how fresh the ingredients were. The lettuce was crunchy, the tomato tasted good and the onion wasn't overwhelming. All in all this was an enjoyable experience.
Today, I decided to give it another try. This time I added a side salad. Again, the drive through was fast, friendly and stress free. Again, the ingredients were so fresh. I totally love the side salad. The side salad has lettuce, tomato, carrots and cheese and it is the perfect size to go with a Whopper Jr. The ranch dressing was very good too and all it cost was $3.23. I don't know if it's because this is such a new facility or what but I actually like this Burger King. If anything changes I will be sure to post it. But for now, the only thing that this Burger King and the others have in commin is the name on the building.
