Burger King

It was a gloomy, rain filled day, and we weren’t in the mood for a restaurant, so we decided to head over to Burger King for a quick bite!  We were sitting in a parking lot in Richmond and pondered where burger king is… we kept coming up with Ironwood plaza, but that would’ve been a far drive, when suddenly it hit me, Sea Island has one! =)  So off we went!

Burger King
8575 Sea Island Way, Richmond BC
Tel#:  (604) 247-2510

There was only a couple people ahead of us waiting for their food when we arrived.  For a fast food place, it sure took awhile for our food to be ready and it wasn’t even hot!

So, I haven’t been to a Burger King in a long long time, the drinks are still self served!  I guess it’s good thing if you enjoy your refills.  The only bad thing is the backup of the line when someone can’t decide what flavour soft drink they’d like lol!  Oddly enough, we encountered during this visit, I guess it’s cause there was about 4 others ahead of us.  I decided to get the Fruitopia(left) and Marv went with a Root Beer(right).  The fruitopia was EXTREMELY sweet, a lot sweeter than it normally is!  It felt like I was drinking pure syrup, after 2 sips, I had to share the root beer.

With our meal, I decided to get their Onion Rings and Marv went with the good old fashioned French Fries. The onion rings and french fries were both pretty cold but still crispy.  I guess we got the remaining batch that was just sitting out.

And of course we decided to get Whoppers for our burger.  The above is Marvs with no cheese and mine is below with cheese.  I can’t say no to cheese! Lol 🙂

Alright, my burger is not as nicely assembled as his was.  Is it just me or is there never enough sauce/ketchup in these burgers?  I always find myself adding more in order to promote some taste into it.  I found my burger to be dry and not juicy.  I suppose I usually find their burgers dry, which might be why I normally go for their chicken sandwich whenever I visit Burger King.   Overall, this meal is what it is.  I think next time I’ll stick with the chicken.
