Subject: McDonalds or Burger King

Written By: Kyle on 05/24/05 at 7:42 pm

I pick McDonalds because it is a little bit more kid friendly.  Even though the food sucks; :D it's OK to me, it really caters to pre-teens.  What do you think?

Subject: Re: McDonalds or Burger King

Written By: quirky_cat_girl on 05/24/05 at 7:46 pm

i like the taste of Burger King's food better than McDonald's...but I like the atmosphere better at McDonald's.....however, both offer too fattening junk to eat...so I really should say neither.

Burger King is more progressive.. they got the tacos for a while, then these kickass chili cheese fries..

But our Burger King service sucks, so it's McDonalds for me...

I think your right.  Burger King, even where I live down in the urbz of Minneapolis, didn't really catch on as easily as McDonalds.  It is more of a like traditional restuarant, and McDonalds has it's values.  I love the kool toys to it, too.  :D ::)

Do you ever remember being a little kid and having the people at the counter being condescending to you?

"Haha, a large combo?  That sounds too big!  Have yourself a kid's meal!  It even comes with a toy!"  I recall that happening a few times when I was like ten years old, and I could think of two words for them.  But I just said no, I want THIS.

I actually never get large combos; I get mediums.  I don't like McDonald's anyway.  Burger King is okay, and Checker's has great food but horrible service.  But nothing beats the half pound burger from Ben's Barbecue.  I recently went to Ben's Barbecue and the guy at the counter asked me where I was from.  I replied, "Alabama," and he said, "Originally?".  I told him yes.  He had concluded from my "accent" that I came from either Germany or England.  :o

Out of those two definitly Burger King.  McDonalds is a rip off.  Burger King has those Angus burgers which are decent but overall not a huge fan of them either.  My favorite one out of all of them is Hardees, they have the best and biggest burger (meat wise) for your money.

The taste of the Burgers is at BK better. But the fries and the chicken-nuggets are better at McD. So i go one time to BK and one time to McD.
I love fast food and so i look like! :)

I'd rather be going to Wendy's or one of those gourmet burger joints like Dalt's or Fuddrucker's (be careful about pronouncing that). I miss Flakey Jake's. :(

Of those 2, I pick Mickey D's.  People always complaining about McDonalds is too greasy, but whatever Burger Kind does 2 their food makes me sick.  Plus McDonalds has MUCH better fries.  Excuse me if I like my food dripping in grease and salt...

Agreed.  The more grease you put in the fries, the better it tastes.  At Burger King, and all other major fast food restaurant, they are a little bit too dry and it loses it taste.  Mickey D's has the good stuff.

Burger King is a lot better than McDonalds.  Even walking into a McDonalds makes me feel grimy and dirty.  And the food is just as bad.  Burger King is pretty good for a fast food joint.  I like the Ultimate Double Whoppers, even though I'm never hungry enough to eat them.  And Burger King has those awesome Hershey's Sundae Pies too.

Thats another thing I do not like about McDonalds, I have never been to a clean McDonalds.  Never not once.  Not that there are many clean BK or Wendys but I do occasionally find some of those that are clean.

Yeah, Wendy's also has better food choices -- i.e. salad, baked potatoes.

Being a vegetarian all I can eat at most FF places is either fries, sides, or the equivalent of fish filets/sandwiches.

I'd say McDonald's is greasier and dirtier than BK - when I had meat, I liked their Whoppers way more than Big Macs, 'cause they flame-broiled instead of fried.

In the town I used to live in Burger Kings were not allowed so McDonalds only had Wendys for comptition and so McDonalds let their stores go to down the tubes, they would never clean the bathrooms always looked like they hadn't been clean for months and the restaurant it self always looked like a hurricane went through there.

Queen Amen Ra, you obviously have very poor tastes.  McDonald's fries, at least the McDonald's in my area, are awful with a capital A.  And when you capitalize a capital A, that is one monstrous A.  That's an A that you look at and you just think, "Hot diggity DAYUM, that is one big A!"  And I prefer flame-broiled to fried.  :P

Is just the one right around you? Cause we have a few sucky McDonalds, but this one has kickass fries all the time.

McDonalds tends to vary so much restaurant to restaurant and visit to visit that it's hard to pin when you'll get a decent meal. But then, our Burger King has never provided good service, ever.

I am only talking about the McDonald's in my area.  I suppose things like service and food quality can't be determined globally, because it would only apply to the particular restaurant, wouldn't it?.  They have awful fries, man.  And I once went to Burger King and this girl kept forgetting things every few seconds until we finally gave up and left.  I guess they fired her.  ::)
