Review: Burger King - BBQ Rib Sandwich

Burger King's new BBQ Rib Sandwich made its recent debut just in time to compete with th eMcDonald's McRib returned. The new value sandwich features a boneless rib patty, onions, pickles, and a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce on a sesame seed bun.

I bought one up for $1.

The patty comes with a tangy, sweet barbecue sauce with a spicy kick. It's about a s thin as a McDonald's hamburger patty and none too juicy as a result. On the plus side, the patty is big enough to cover the whole bun. There was a really good amount of charring on the patty's crust for a bit of burnt flavor that drove that barbecue feel home.

The pickles were a bit overwhelming for such a small sandwich. They're thick cut and the same you'd find in Burger King's bigger burgers.

The fresh onions were crisp with a nice bit. They're a fairly traditional accompaniment for barbecue for a reason and work well here.

Overall, Burger King's new BBQ Rib Sandwich provides a nice barbecue experience in a simple and very affordable package. In terms of bbq pork sandwiches, it doesn't get any cheaper than this.
