    Are they the worst? IMO, they’re mid at worst. Some worse options:

    • Dairy Queen
    • Taco Bell - the one near me is actually decent since it’s in a nicer area, but I avoid them when traveling
    • McDonalds - I’ve been once in the last 20 years, and don’t plan to go again
    • KFC - in my area they’re partnered with A&W, which is also bad (was my favorite in the 90s, but they suck now)

    I haven’t been to Burger King in years, so maybe they suck now. I remember them being decent, but nothing special.

      A&W in Canada is actually pretty decent, but it’s not tied to the American chain except I think for licensing the name

        Nope. Is DQ better there? Because it’s terrible here in Utah, esp when we have Iceburg and Culvers, both of which have better ice cream and burgers than DQ.

          Yeah, it’s almost a different restaurant than in other states. I’d try it if you ever have the misfortune to travel to Texas.

        DQ is high-quality in large parts of the Midwest as well. I can at least vouch for numerous locations across South Dakota and Minnesota.

      Have you been to a dairy Queen? Or did you just put their name on there without thinking because they actually have way better food than Burger King.

        DQ is pretty hit or miss for hot food. We’ve got multiple locations and one of them I’d absolutely not go to buy the others are ok

        Yeah, years ago. Compared to the options I have locally, it really sucks. Here in Utah, Culvers and Iceberg are way better, and even Arctic Circle (which sucks) is better.

        At least Burger King is kinda unique in that they char-broil their burgers. Carl’s Jr does it better, but BK isn’t the worst option, at least the last time I went (which admittedly is a few years now).
