Why am I, an avowed hater of Burger King food giving them a 5 star rating? Because they have refillable drinks and they are located in an airport terminal! Do I recommend consuming a Whopper before climbing into a sealed metal tube in the sky for several hours? Absolutely not! If I did that, there would be a code brown that would end badly for me and anyone adjacent to the restroom. I am a large man and if I can't get my legs apart, I can't have a productive bowel movement. I am over 6' tall and also over 200lbs. The last time I enjoyed a meal at Burger King that didn't end in intestinal distress, Jimmy Carter was president. That's also the last time I thought that anything other than the onion rings tasted good at Burger king. When you're a kid, you think fast food is awesome and you want it as often as you can talk your parents into getting it. As you grow older, most people at least come to realize that any fast food isn't really all that great. Some is more tolerable than others but BK has been my personal least favorite since the early 80's.
I remember the day it happened. The town I lived in as a small child had only a BK. Not even a McDonald's so that's where my mom took my brother and me, and we loved it. We moved to another town about 20 miles away when I was 5 but then they built a shopping mall in the field that had been directly across the street from the BK in my first town. As it was the 1980's, the mall was the epicenter of the community and shopping and my mom and aunt were all about it. They could kill an entire day at Place Two, which was a Nordstrom subsidiary in WA that hasn't existed in over 30 years now and this mall, which was still the closest to our new home, had one.
I was mid-way through my grade school experience at this point. It was summer and my aunt was in town for a month. Her and my mom wanted to shop so they loaded my brother and me into the car and drove to the mall. This was early on in my mom's shopping strategy and she thought if she offered up lunch at BK, it would placate my brother's and my boredom a least a little bit. We walked in to BK and I ordered a Whopper and some onion rings. It had been a while since I'd eaten there. Our new town was a McDonald's town and there was no BK. I noticed immediately that my burger smelled like toe sweat. Undeterred, I bit into it only to find that it also tasted like it was marinated in toe sweat. I initially assumed that I'd just gotten a bad one so I tried it a couple of more times before permanently writing off BK but just understand that to some extent, this is like a small kid finding out that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny aren't real. It's a shock to the system and I've had trust issues with fast food ever since. My mom quickly pivoted to buying us corn dogs and then bribing us by taking us to B. Dalton's or Waldenbooks to each select a book which she would purchase for us to read while she and my aunt shopped. This turned out to be a far more effective strategy. I still love corn dogs and even though I usually make them myself now, I would still pay a fair amount to go back and have one from the now long defunct corn dog stand at SeaTac Mall, which I believe is now called "The Commons" or something similarly lame and vanilla.
Any consumption of Burger King food would lead to a colonic event that would rival the Cossacks at the Gate. If Dumb and Dumber had had a sequel like Die Hard, a BK BM would be like the Dumb and Dumber bathroom scene on a plane, and that is NOT an experience on my bucket list.
Since that day as a 9 year old kid was probably the beginning of what has made me a Yelp review enthusiast, think of it as my Yelp origin story. After enduring the ridiculous TSA screening and humping my luggage to my gate, the ability to stroll over and purchase a refillable diet soda to sip while I wait to board my plane and then carry on is greatly

Before boarding the plane early in the morning, I was very satisfied to have such a restaurant, where the food was served quickly and tasted as expected.

The airport burger king does not honor the app deals. Prices are hiked up over other burger kings. What a rip off. Employees were rude.

“Hey! My flight is boarding. Would you please pass me my burger?” (Look of indifference from staff, who are chatting off to the side.) “One second, sir.” (Continued chatting.) I left the burger behind.

Gave me the wrong order. Luckily I checked. Gave me the wrong order AGAIN. Unfortunately I didn't think to check twice and walked across the terminal to board my plane before opening the supposedly correct bag with a different, wrong, order.

We haven’t been to a Burger King in 26 years cause our last time was a bad time. Since the options are few here in the airport thought we would give it a try. We went to the till as we were paying cash. The gentleman there was very polite and courteous. Our food came in about 5 minutes and was nice and hot. I didn’t take any pictures as I wasn’t thinking about do any review. But it looked great. I guess maybe we’ll try Burger King back home and hopefully it will be just as good.
Staff is miserable, unfriendly and disorganized. Have no clue how to hand out orders in any kind of sensible manner. Confused and argumentative amongst each other and customers. Waited for 25 minutes to be told they diddnt even have what we ordered and paid for.

Horrible customer service waiting in line no one tells you to order at kiosk the girl at register was very lazy and rude to customers then when I asked for my food my flight leaving they get nasty saying other people are ahead of me I know exactly who was ahead of me they helped me order and also it was one cheeseburger and the one at register who was standing around doing nothing says she was putting a fire out really spare me the oven was on high with nothing in it and was flaming they were laughing about it but she thinks she can tell me that lie and tell me because I’m upset do I want my money back I told her I am getting my money back cancel my order the worst will never go there again I shouldn’t have anyway at an airport if people don’t like to work they should get another job I am in customer service and no matter what we don’t argue with customers so I did not have it my way! Unreal the wait and the line everyone was upset!
