Review: Burger King - Deluxe BK Topper Burger

The Deluxe BK Topper is a Big Mac-like burger that's part of Burger King's new, limited-time BK Toppers line. It comes with a 3.2-ounce burger patty topped with American cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, and Stacker sauce on a sesame seed bun.

It offers a decent value at $1.99 for a slightly thicker, larger patty (versus 2-ounce for the regular BK patty) without reaming the bottom line for BK franchisees.

The Deluxe unsurprisingly tastes a lot like a Big Mac but meatier and with more crunchier, substantial pickle slices.

Unfortunately, on this occasion, I had the driest patties I've ever had at a Burger King. It was like all the moisture in the beef patty was sucked out (and I happened to try all three BK Toppers on the same day too...). I don't know if the patties were overcooked because they are thicker or if they had been sitting in a warming bin for too long but they were dry... like shoe leather dry.

Disregarding the egregious patty, the Deluxe BK Topper is not a bad buy if you're looking for Big Mac like sandwich at Burger King. But for a little more (or the same price depending of price variants), you can get the meatier, cheesier charbroiled Big Carl at Carl's Jr. which is an altogether superior burger. Still, it compares well to Big Mac and has nice pickles.
