I have to admit I am a big Burger King fan, always have been, always will be. With that stated I really hate these types of locations where they were trying to invoke a 50s diner feel. What happens is that it becomes very dated, very fast. I have a love for neon and 45s, but the way they are used in here with the sterile white on the walls just doesn't do it anymore especially given the size of this place and lack of use of that space, it just looks awkward.
The staff were semi-alert when I came here for a quick lunch making it seem like I was intruding on their personal time rather than serving customers that come walking in the door. I decided to try one of their grill dogs that have been advertised to hell and back. It's decent, but not $2.50 decent. I could have ran down over the hill to the Sheetz and gotten two hot dogs for less than the price of this one. Here's the thing, if I'm paying that much for a hot dog it better be one of two things. 1) Be heaping with toppings or 2) I get to select the toppings and those toppings be unlimited. It was kind of a disappointment and waste of money. Any chance I can get to have onion rings with a meal, I take it, so that is one thing that BK has going for it that other fast food chains do not. One last thing about the food, if you have a food allergy such as I do that prohibits you from drinking a majority of sodas/mixed nonalcoholic drinks out there, the bottled water is a choice, but not a good choice. If you up size your meal you don't get a chance to up size the bottle of water.
The one thing that was puzzling about this location was the overuse of the bathroom by noncustomers. From the time I sat down with my food until I finished three separate gentlemen came in to use the restroom for extended periods of time. And believe me, I used this restroom prior to leaving and there is nothing fancy about it especially since you can see everything going on in the toilet stall from the urinal. Makes you think that BK is either a hot spot for bathroom usage (particularly number two) or something else is going on. read more
