Reviewers on BK Whopper

★★★I’ve been hearing a lot about the return of the Whopper, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this burger. The patty was better than what you’d see on a Big Mac, with a good flame grilled taste. ChainGang01
★★★Pleasantly surprised by this burger. I’d compare it more to an In-and-out tier burger than a McDonald’s tier. Can taste and see the grill marks on the patty. Substantial patty and quality lettuce and tomato. On a fluffy Taylor Massaro
