| pkmom's Full Review: Burger King |
Burger King is a chain fast-food burger restaurant. Stores may be either franchises or corporate owned. Becuase of the wide variations in customer service or food quality this review is specific to the following location:
Burger King 7211 Strawberry Plains Pke. Knoxville, TN 37914 Online: http://www.bk.com/
This fast-food restaurant enjoys easy access off of I-40 at Exit 398 in Knoxville, TN. Turn off of the exit and go toward the traffic light. It's right in front of Burger King, KFC and some other restaurants.
The drive-thru here is usually fast. Sometimes you will see the line backed around the building. It's a fairly popular place to go. I will sometimes stop here if I'm on my way to meetings and don't want to get out of the car. The crew is usually friendly. My order is typically correct without having to repeat it too many times.
The downside is that you always have to ask for extra napkins. They love to put only one in the bag. If you are eating the chicken tenders that's not so bad. It's impossible if you are eating a Whopper Jr.
Value Menu Other value menu offerings include Whopper Jr., Cheeseburger, Chicken Tenders, Onion Rings, awful French Fries, Apple Pie and a small drink.
They have a great value menu. I like that it includes a side salad. This has lettuce, a couple of slices of tomatos and some carrots. The salad dressing is Ken's. Choose from Lite Italian, Ranch, Honey Mustard or Caesar. Not bad for a buck.
The website I visited the website to find out more about the calorie counts of the items. It gave me a headache so I stopped. You are given three main options to choose from in the middle of the screen. Then, a supposedly impressive flash animation comes up of a burger king sandwich wrapper spinning and turning into something while the page is loading. Put the website in the file with the french fries for me please.
The food: The Burger King offers your pretty basic fast food fare. Burgers are flame broiled and tasty. They can be fixed any way you want them. Normally, this location is pretty quick. As stated, the menu does contain lighter options. Kids food now includes macaroni and cheese, milk and better fare than they used to.
Although they do have a lighter fare most of the sandwiches are calorie laden. The french fries are awful both in taste and in calories. I almost always skip them. They have this strange batter on them that is supposed to enhance their taste. It fails miserably. Service Overall the restaurant has good service. The staff is friendly. If the register goes on the blink or they have to count change in any way be patient. If you can help them count it you are better off. Definitely count it before you leave the counter. Preferably before they close the drawer. I've had issues twice now. It's not a pretty sight.
I do prefer the drive through because it's faster but do go in on occasion. The food is usally hot, quick and tasty. The restaurant is typically clean. That's a combination that keeps this customer happy.
