If you order your burger “Off The Broiler”, they take a fresh uncooked hamburger (or two, if you get a double), send it thru the broiler conveyor, and in about seven minutes, you get a freshly made hamburger, not one that's been sitting under their heat lamps for God knows how long.

oh nice it's crazy that everyone doesn't request that.
ppl value their time so strangely, won't wait 7min to have a fresh made burger but will stand in line for ridiculously long amount of time to get an item worth $5 for free.

Grats on your BK experience RBK!

I've yet to try a whopper off the broiler; that will be remedied this summer.

Re: Doordash; Can you not order delivery thru the BK app? I just did a test order, I get charges $3 delivery fee plus $2.25 service fee. Also you can use deals in the app. $0 delivery fee for orders over $25. Interesting

so randomly had a whopper the other day and godamn it was DELICIOUS.
way better than ricks imo and aside from in n out n shake shack which I don't even consider fast food I can't think of a better FF burger I've ever had.

I owe the king a massive apology cuz man that was just an absolutely delicious burger.

I am somewhat curious about the western bacon burger from carls jr both because of this is the end and the first we feast burger show which lavished major praise upon it.

only thing I've ever had from carls is the BBQ chicken sandwich.

what's the best burger at carls/hardees and how does it compare to the whopper?

for the record I don't generally like all kinds of toppings on my burger usually just like them as simple as possible with either lettuce, tomatoes n ketchup+mustard or swiss +teriyaki sauce.
Wait till the Angry Whopper comes back for a visit. Jalapenos, etc but not the crazy hot some restaurants do.

Western Bacon from Carl's is also right up there. The BBQ chicken is also one of my faves.

I resemble that remark.

Things taste so much better when they're free. Don't people wait in line for 30 minutes at Krispy Kreme for a free donut? Probably burning 2 bucks in gas?

Reminds me of my Dad buying 50 $.10 cheeseburgers at McD's promo and reheating them in the micro

nice ya I have the app but didn't realize the free delivery over $25 and in my very limited experience with BK the deals going thru DD were better than the app but will def make sure to check the app in the future.

lol that was the first thing that came to mind when I made that post but also when I was in college I worked for KNBR radio and covered all the raider, GSW, n giants games and we would get there way early hang all the promo stuff around the stadium then open a tent stand outside and give away all kinds of really crappy cheap "prizes" and fans would wait in line for a solid hour even in the rain to spin the prize wheel and get their absolutely worthless prize.

I knew a guy whose grandfather would drive 20 minutes each way to a small gas station to save .03/gallon off the Chevron on the corner.

3/10 free char burgers redeemed. They now have an option to tip; I did so. IMO they gave me more fries than usual as a result; I just did 10% so like 80 cents.

The onion rings were the best I've had at an ff place; a sit down restaurant/bar would probably charge $9+ for them. $4 I believe

Also loaded up on free pickled peppers!

Those rings look engagement worthy imo.

Advantage taken, thanks Wendy KGB. I believe they're doing a different free item with purchase every day, not clear for how long.

I had some other decent offers too in the app, 2/$6, $1 loaded fries, free soft drink, etc.

Has anyone tried the new Berry Frosty yet? I'm going to within a week I'd say definitely.

the only problem is I unfortunately relay on doordash and uber eats since my accident as I can no longer drive and most of the FF places won't accept any special requests for orders thru the app (so much for have it your way) but I'll def keep that in mind if I'm ever able to make that request.

and lol all the guys who are focused on getting good value would absolutely **** their brains if they saw the markup you have to pay to get a ff order delivered thru the apps.

I've taken advantage of a sweet glitch in doordash special offers tho check this out:

so for BK they're currently offering a free whopper on any order of $15 however here's the jack, they count the cost of the whopper towards that $15 so if you add the whopper to your cart $9.99 (lol yes I know) then add another $5.01 it applies a discount of $9.99 so basically can get a free whopper if you order a large fry.

pretty sweet but it's a limited time offer and once that goes away it becomes pretty laughable to order thru the apps.
whopper is the best burger around imo, the combination of the bun, the flame broiled etc, its incredible

Carls JR has great burgers, maybe better, but more expensive.

Wendys is good for cheap stuff, but Whoppers are the best


havent tried off the grille lately, but seems like a good idea if you have the time.
