I love Burger King(s) and it pains me to give this two stars but it is deserved. In the past 8 weeks I have purchased the same order 6 times and they have blown my order every time. 2 Double Whoppers with Cheese and 4 Tacos with 4 mustards and 4 taco sauces. Is it really that difficult to give me my 2 slices of cheese? I never get it, only one slice of cheese. And those definitely not ordered jalapeños (and other weirdo-stuff on different orders) added make the Whopper disgusting. 4 packets of both mustard and taco sauces I got 1 out of 6 times. And really, 1 napkin with all that food? How about 2 napkins per double meat item and 1 napkin per item? read more

Ok actually so frustrating In this economy ? Don't ever get the right food the workers here are INCOMPETENT

Where to start. Been trying this place for years about every 3 to 6 mo. or so. Tried agian and found my entire order was not made my way. That was 2 Whoppers 2 OCS amd jr Jr chicken sandwich. All made wrong! And the topper.... Dry meat dry bread mayo was not fresh and the veggies were limp and sad. Sure wish the owners of this location would get it together as this is not the first time. Worse location I have ever tried. Why is BK food so bad here? Why is the bread so old and dry? In my day we kept the buns in a steamer to keep them moist. What happened to that process? Anyway stay away maybe the next business here will be better. read more

Burger King - Whopper sandwiche :-( - Fast Food Near Me - Lakeside, California

I wanted a quick hamburger fix so I just stopped at the nearest burger joint. Service was ok. I just was surprised that the Whopper was kind of pathetic. I should have stopped at the local JiB which was just up the road. Oh well. read more

Pulled up at 8:50 and didn't answer and said they were close . You get paid to serve till 9! Not to be a big back but cmon bruh

I felt like a dead body before coming here after paintball, but after a $1 taco and free strawberry Fanta frozen thingymabob. I felt like a person again. In opposition to the other reviews, the lady was very nice. The tweaker ambience was excellent and a new experience. Taco tasted good (kinda like beans but evil) and the drink tasted like corn syrup and red 40. 5 stars read more

Burger King - Empty bag and drink thingy between my legs - Fast Food Near Me - Lakeside, California

To start off.. Our service was fast quick and amazing. The staff tonight was patient, quick, friendly, and a pleasure to be served from. It was an all women drive-thru crew late last night and not only did they make our food exceed our expectations, they did it quick manner. Props to them. Happy Holidays! read more

Definitely the best Burger King in town. I frequently go through the drive-thru during my (short) lunch break and am getting to be familiar with the regular employees on that shift. They are fast and friendly every single time. The food is always hot and fresh. This is typically a great spot to hit if I'm rushed for lunch and want something comforting. Will definitely continue to stop here! read more

For the past two years every time i went to this burger king walking through those doors was like walking into the gates of hell. You'd walk in, and immediately be greeted by dirty tables and tweakers (no hate to the workers for this, city needs to do something about them!!! It's a safety issue for the people working there and customers!!!) and over the top rude staff. Placing an order was a fight as no one would be at the register, or if they were they'd be rude as hell and walk away half way through. (Manager included!!! Don't know what her issue was!!) Recently however, I think there was a change in management. The other day i was craving a good look at their impressive soda fountain, and god did they deliver so much more. From the moment i walked in i could tell something had changed, as it was CLEAN!!! Also, the associates were ready to take orders and weren't rude???? The food was ready in so little time, was so fresh, and holy fuck their fries are bomb. Anyway, good work!! While there is a lot of improvement to be done, y'all have made this place so much better!! read more

12/16/22 - I haven't been to a BK in years. Well I was starving so I hit this place. Positive- vanilla milkshake was ok. Negative- 15 minutes through the drive thru. Only 2 cars in front of me. Guy taking my order wasn't helpful. Couldn't find the price on a whopper somI bought 2. My surprise there were about $8 each!!! Bought a few double burgers friends. Should have ordered that. They looked far better than my whopper. Look at the photos. I would go back there. I ate few bites and tossed the whoppers. Whopper of a bill and was disappointed. Gave it 2 stars. You get 1 for ultimate poor service and food. This was close though. read more

So I ordered a double whopper with cheese meal and asked for no pickles and no tomato. I get to the window and the girl asks me "You did say no tomato and no onions, right?" I said no and repeated that I wanted no tomatoes and no pickles. She then hands me my bag of food and says "Well they already made it with the pickles on there so just take them off". Like are you guys for real? What kind of customer service is that. I asked if she was joking and she just shook her head. I was speechless... So much for "Have it your way" read more

Omg the most excellent thing about this restaurant is the A-1 customer service here I get so amazed by them working with a 3-4 person crew and they always get the job done!!!! I have to give management credit for this most amazing customer service ever thank you Burger King I will continue to choose you over McDonalds any day of the week read more

Worst Burger King I've been to. They mess up my ordered ever single time I go there on a simple order. I checked my order before I left, which was wrong yet again. I went to the counter understandably annoyed and told them what the problem was and that my order is constantly messed up. The guy behind the counter which I'm pretty sure was a manager, instead of just saying sorry and fixing it, told me to stop tripping out and gave me attitude about fixing the order. Terrible service. read more

This is my regular Burger King because it's the closest to where I live. My order is usually correct. Yesterday they gave me a Coke instead of cherry coke, but I can live with that. The kid who usually does the drive thru wasn't working. I was using the new Burger King rewards program while ordering very confusing. The onion rings were fresh for a change. That was about it. Everything else was cold. I'm just happy my order is always correct because everyone seems to have that problem, but I don't. I only go thru the drive thru. read more

Don't order fries, they only fill them halfway. Check your order before you leave too, got a bunch of D students working here.

This is always a go to you, When we want Burgers & fries, In Lakeside, CA. Friendly employees. The Manager was Amazing. Very Professional and kind. Always have a great experience here. Fast service, The restaurant was super clean. Great quality food and reasonable prices. Always freshly prepared and super delicious. 5 Stars service all the way. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Most of the staff, there is stupid and doesn't know how to make a rodeo chicken. When I said I wanted that, the young mann working said they didn't have it on the menu. It's available at every other Burger King. But obviously, you may not pay this person enough to be cognizant of making it. I cruised out, I have no tolerance for stupidity read more

Ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and ended up getting stale cold chicken fries. I should've known better and checked my order before leaving. However I was in a hurry. Hence why I went to the drive-thru. This isn't the first time they've messed up my order. Won't be back. Save your money and go elsewhere. Zero stars* read more

This Burger King location in Lakeside has, in my experience, poor customer service. I've visited this location four times in the last 6 days. Each time I decided to leave before ordering because employees took several minutes even come up to register to take orders. Additionally, not one employee even acknowledged even one of the multiple potential customers. I was not the only one who became frustrated and left. I have lived in the area for almost two decades and have visited this location many times. I've noticed that customer service here has taken a nose dive in the past several months. As far as other attributes, the restaurant, as a whole looked clean and presentable. The seating area was clean and orderly, the trash receptacles had been attended to. That is the only reason of giving it 2 stars- for appearance. So, until I see reviews that indicate they've appropriately addressed the poor customer service issue, coupons or not, I'm taking my money and business elsewhere. read more

Burger King - Employees ignoring a line of customers waiting to order - Fast Food Near Me - Lakeside, California

Came through on a Sunday evening. Dining room was closed at 5 pm?? Whatever already frustrating. Go through drive thru and sit through water sprinklers watering rocks?? Lady takes order and perhaps she is hard of hearing. Constantly saying give me a minute. Takes forever to get the order right. This explains the ling slow line. She tells me to pull forward. She doesn't even read the order back. I ask her to read it back when I get to the window. Practically shoves the bags out of the window and closes it while my wife was asking for ketchup. She should not be working drive thru. Horrible experience. read more

The worst Burger King I've ever been to. I saw a rat in the window and I try to take a picture of it and this employee started laughing thinking it was funny. Not only was this employee laughing but he was very rude and disrespectful when I got to the window. read more

Don't eat tacos, got violently ill last night had food poisoning be careful don't want anyone else to go through that

I haven't had Burger King in a while it doesn't disappoint.The soda machine had vanilla coke, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The manager and shift leader are very nice and welcoming ! The store itself was very clean, and the restrooms were Aldo very well kept. read more

I used the app for ordering ahead and it worked perfectly. I ordered a regular Whopper and Vanilla Iced Coffee. The order was already done upon my arrival at the drive-thru. The burger was phenomenal....super fresh and tasty!!! The iced coffee was just as good and perfectly mixed! I could not have asked for a better overall experience. Great job Burger King!!!!! I will be returning thanks. read more

Visited this location 12/19/2020 around lunchtime. Am not rating poorly because of long wait in line at drive through. I'm rating based on them getting the order wrong and poor quality of the food itself. Ordered a Whopper with cheese, a Whopper JR with Cheese / no onions , a small order of fries, and a large order of onion rings. The only thing they got right was the small order of fries. We ended up with two Whopper Jr's with onions and no cheese, and a small order of onion rings. The burgers were barley warm and dry. Simply awful. This isn't a CoVid related problem. This is a management problem. Never again. read more

Not a good place to eat Customer service bad and terrible the food is nasty and cold and bad read more

Whoever works the drive thru has no idea how to take an order!! When I was up to order, they still had the breakfast menu up. Then at the window I was given the wrong drink then after telling her, she took my drink back, walked away, came back and said they were out of all the frozen drinks???? I didn't think to check my bag till I got home and I received a completely different order!! Never gong back there! read more

Dude?? This is what you get when you add on a burger at the last minute..... lesson learned. Good play Burger King guys read more

This place is walking distance from my work so my co workers and I will stop by sometimes for lunch. I haven't been here since the remodel and I must say, the place is so much cleaner and upgraded nicely. I even noticed some new employees and they were all very nice. Donavan was our cashier and he was super nice and didn't mind giving us sauces for our meals. I tried a Jr whopper with chicken nuggets and everything was good. I'm not saying it's the best thing I've ever had, but it's payday is in a week and we're broke food. read more

Food was hot and employees friendly, two positives. But it did little to make up for the: Coke Freestyle machine being out of almost everything, major bummer when you are seeking refreshment on a hot day. No tomato included on Whopper sandwiches. Lights out in most of the restaurant, making it very dark and downright creepy - possibly an effort to keep restaurant cool due to; no air conditioning. Instead, every door was propped open, including the back/receiving door - major sanitation violation. (And security issue, particularly after dark.) Industrial box fans blowing everywhere in a sad effort to compensate for lack of AC. (Not a good way to save on repair and maintenance costs folks, if the AC is down...fix it). Overall dirty slummy dining room atmosphere read more

Went and ordered the crosaint meals and 1st thing first the lady at the drive thru can't speak english or understand. So after trying to order the same thing 5x we finally pulled up to the window to explain it to her. We paid for the food. Then we get home to find out they got the order wrong,we had to drive back up there and I asked to talk to the manager and Yolanda the manager proceeded to argue with me for a few minutes, tell me I was wrong and Finally I had to raise my voice and say NO MA'AM YOUR WRONG CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!! She then finally decided to get the food they owed us oh man I am so going to be talking to the district manager. read more

I don't always find crystal meth on the bathroom floor, but when I do, I'm at Burger King Santee! Never seen the stuff up close, so, 5 stars for the educational experience and another 5 for Lakeside living up to the rep of Tweaker Capital of SD. Staff was friendly and service was fine, I just needed a place to pee on the way to Alpine, and maybe do some damage to my insides by trying one of their new flame grilled dogs. However after careful thought I wussed out, as the thought of ingesting a hot dog at Burger King scared me more than the thought of ingesting Lakeside bathroom-floor speed. I flushed it down and saluted the staff upon exit. I think they may need some good help soon... Still love Whoppers though. read more

Bad quality of food even for fast food. Chicken sandwich tasted old and over cooked. Highly disappointed. The person taking my order read it back to me, but it was still wrong when I got the bag. Overall the experience wasn't good. Won't be returning. read more

Went after a high school game, with my family no one else in the drive through, was told to park. Ordered at 8:37 got our food at 8:50. I wanted to just cancel my order, spent 58$'s. Doors were already locked. I knocked, got ignored. There were 5-6 workers standing around. Guy who took orders brought our food to us, no apology. No customer service. Such an unhappy person. (Honestly I didn't have an option to not use a star) This place doesn't deserve any. read more

This place has been bad for 10 or more years. It's honestly on you if you choose to eat here.
