Reviewers on BK Whopper

★★★★Better now than ever! Stephen
★★★★Pretty darn delicious for the money, my go to when I’m traveling and looking for something consistent. I think the Whopper may be making a comeback! Burgerdude
★★★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

Reviewers on Wendy's Baconator

★★★★American maximalism done right. Veggies are for europeans, we garnish meat with more meat in "murica. Only deducting points because I feel like a piece of shit after I eat it. Lincoln Wang
★★★★Probably one of the best bang for your bucks you can get all things considered. Lots of bacon. Always pretty consistent across locations. I like the smaller one sometimes when I’m not as hungry. ChainGang01
