Craving blue whale fries...again! There's just something about that rich, fishy yet majestic flavor that hits the spot unlike anything else. As fate would have it, I found myself near a Burger King. My gut whispered, "We're close to the ocean. Blue whales are super easy to harpoon and have the most delicious fat. Maybe the manager here knows what's up and tapped into this goldmine. They are the king of fast food, after all." And thinking logically, fast food restaurants have a long and beautiful history of cooking fries in animal fat... so I promptly ordered a large fry to test it, with $6,000 cash in my wallet (only ones...I don't trust anyone who thinks they're bigger than George Washington) prepared to fill my Prius if they were indeed the BW fries my little heart desired. "Free Willy" the cashier yelled out the name I gave him. I couldn't think of anything else at the time. By this point, I was salivating so aggressively it had already soaked through my whale-themed bib (Moby-Drool) and I felt a fiery droplet trickling into my left belly button. I sprung into action. Had to push several children aside and might have thrown one, but I made it to the counter in less than 2 seconds. I had such hope and urgency with that first bite, I nearly took my thumb and pinky off (I eat different, get over it). Thirty-six fries down the hatch. Chewed twice (well, like 1.5x). And let the taste buds do the rest.... I closed my eyes, picturing Humphrey the Humbpack Whale making his way up the Sacramento River (wish I was around for that ). Waited... Blue whale? Humpback? Common, even (gray)? Nothing. Not even so much as a whisper of dolphin blubber.... I cried the whole drive home to my Swift / Dion playlist. But to be fair, the fries were excellent. Hot. Crispy. The staff were friendly. They just weren't the blue whale fries that true Americans want, deserve, and, frankly, have been denied for far too long. I can only hope our nation comes to its senses and once again embraces the proud tradition of openly serving whale meat instead of forcing honest citizens like me to pursue our dreams in the shadows. We have the power to dominate, kill, and eat these majestic yet objectively inferior beasts. So why should we deny ourselves whale meat -- one of life's greatest pleasures? Please connect with me and join the movement to get whale meat back where it belongs. On our ballots. In our fryers. And, ultimately, in our bellies. To get involved, and for a full list of gourmet blue whale fries recipes, find me on YouTube: YouTube.com/@plantbasedluke Snapchat @ luke0102 Or just ask yourself: which fast food chain is most likely to swap in beautiful sea mammals for the regular beautiful land mammals --- and you'll find me read more

Burger King - heartbroken....no blue whale fries here either - Burgers Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

The new improved whopper is smaller! $13.50 for a whopper with cheese small fries and a drink is not worth it. I'm not coming back. Plus it's 93° outside and the AC is broken. It's hotter on the inside than it is on the outside. Did I mention I'm not coming back?? read more

French fries not hot and fresh. Sprite soda very weak flavored. 2 napkins given for 4 items. No ketchup included or offered with fries. Friday June 12 2026, 12:15 PM read more

I ordered an impossible whopper , received a burger in impossible whopper wrapping but they gave me real meat!! I didn't even notice til half way through I was so disgusted and disturbed as I haven't consumed meat in over 8 years. When I went inside they showed no concern or urgency for this mistake and didn't even insist on a refund as I was asked " do you want a refund? " in a hesitant tone. I could get sick from this mistake and I felt completely disregarded. Never coming here again. read more

Came by to get my son some chicken fingers and fries before we start our day at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The food was hot and fresh. They have good customer service and the food was made pretty quickly. read more

I hate to pile on to bad reviews but it seems legit. I ordered the spicy nuggets and they were stale and rubbery. Seemed like it was microwaved. I think if they were fresh they would be crispy. Will I come back? Yes. Because I do like Burger King. But it will not likely be my first choice. read more

Really sucks when you can't use Drive thru cause you know the order will be wrong. P ordered 2 whopper jr, added onion rings. With ketchup and mustard. 1 burger came without Onions and the other without ketchup. Took 5 min to fix while I'm standing there l. Good luck to you King cause I'm finished with you. read more

Ordered breakfast- food was ice cold- no other customers, no lines, no reason. I returned the food to find the three employees standing around chatting- oblivious to how awful the food was they were pushing across their counter- this place will not be missed - because clearly it's close to closing. read more

Fresh ,fast , friendly all I want :) for a good meal after a long day at work .yummmmmmmmm

I don't know why anyone still comes here. There's literally a parking lot full of restaurants. I'm convinced there's just a machine back there They put McDonald's items in that make them 10x times worse sauces taste like water chicken shares It's DNA with cardboard. Please people find a different place if not for you then for me read more

Clean place and fast service. Had chicken fries with fries and the Food was well cooked and tasted good.

App not working. Store couldn't help me get a refund. I asked if I could place an order but the acting manager at 3:19pm on 8/15 said I'd need to wait for her to use the restroom before she could make my order. She held her hands up so I could examine them...super weird. read more

Burger King - Hours. - Burgers Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

Unlike the Costco in Santa CruZ I've never had any experiences here with the employees discriminating me or making me feel like I don't belong here. If you're craving a fast burger this is the go to for real and even though I drive a van I've never been told to leave or treated poorly due to my living conditions. read more

Ice tea is on menu but they don't offer it. All the tables inside were dirty and I asked if he could please wipe a table off, so he comes out and ask which one. We point to a table and he wipes the top, and starts to walk to the back, we ask to wipe seats also and he acts out out so he barely wipes the seat but not entirely . He walks to the back and does not wipe the other tables that are all dirty. We asked for cups of water and he wants to charge for the cups, so no free complimentary waters at this location or at least not with this manager. I do not recommend this place. Not friendly and dirty. read more

First off they didn't give me my card back back. I drove all the way to Capitola before I realized and called to see if it was left there. When I went in to get it back I didn't get an apology or anything. I totally get mistakes happen and I mention that. I wouldn't have written a post if I got any kind of apology for the inconvenience. Next the fries aren't salted!! When I went in I also mentioned that and they said they don't salt them because they got to many complaints the fries were too salty.... Then explained that the salt shaker puts out to much salt. If that's the case tell your guests that. Or how about put salt packets in the bag. Or how about actually watch how much salt you put in your fries... gosh very frustrating. Overall bad experience. Now I have to call my bank and block my card. Makes me think they took my cards info. I know they recently remodeled the store now they need to do it to the employees... SMH!! read more

Wanna get yelled at? Do you enjoy deals advertised on Television not being honored? Do you want to get sick after eating their food? Employees handling cash and your food at the same time? You've come to the right place! read more

The Service and Food is awful. The upgrade of the building doesn't do justice for the inside. I have only been here a handful of times only because it was "convenient" with every other drive thru being packed, this is bare to the bone empty usually. Very rude and sarcastic through the drive thru. And last time we went, they were pumping the septic so we had to leave. read more

Great service and kind staff! Very clean and sanitary facility. The food is great and I would definitely recommend this location. read more

Although the food is mostly good, the burgers are assembled poorly. The employees get your order wrong almost every time, and the inside bathroom stalls are disgusting. I would recommend this place if you're on the road looking for a late night snack. read more

I will give this please one star, but I really want to give it zero stars. For starters, my complete order was cold and incorrect. I ordered off of my app to use my points. When I arrived and told the cashier my name and order number, he verified everything and didn't give me even half of the order. Not recommending this place to anyone, at the end of the day it is just fast food . read more

I have been going to the Scotts Valley Burger King for years. Today (Saturday) I went by for a quick chicken sandwich and was told the only chicken sandwiches they serve are the "hand breaded". Even though they clearly have a grilled chicken sandwich as well as a lightly breaded chicken sandwich. I ordered the original chicken sandwich meal and was given the "hand breaded". There is so much batter, by the time I got to the chicken it was cold. I returned it and was treated very rudely. I simply drove away, giving the sandwich back to them, swearing never to return. Don't bother going to this restaurant on week-ends or after 4pm ever. The help are terrible and don't know there menu or care about their customers. read more

BEYOND Terrible Double Cheeseburgers! I ordered 4 double cheeseburgers to go and when I got home I found the burgers were very overcooked, dry and there was 1 piece of cheese instead of the normal 2 pieces on each burger, plus there was no ketchup or mustard on any. 2 of the double cheeseburgers had 2 pieces of meat (still overcooked) but another one had only 1 patty and the last burger had 1 and 1/2 patties!!! WTF??!! Disgusting and I could not even eat most of my "meal" if that's what you want to call it! I have been going to this BK for years and they used to be great! I don't know what has happened recently but I am not going back! Now I know why the lines are long at McDonalds all the time. I will be joining them! read more

UPDATE: I've been back to this BK twice since writing my review and the food and staff have improved *slightly*. Good help is hard to find, but I like to think that they are making an effort to improve. read more

I usually stop here to get my kids lunch on Friday afternoons, but lately I noticed the total of my order fluctuating 1$ to 3$ per order and I don't catch it until I'm looking at the receipt later. Today, the guy working the drive through was not only rude when taking our order, but also tried to tell me my total was exceptionally more than the listed menu prices for the food items. I work in food service myself, I know what the math was, and when I asked to clarify the price difference he became even more hostile and rude. I did not catch a name tag but he appeared to have Hand/face/neck tattoos. We absolutely will not be going back. read more

I've been a long time customer of this Burger King. The restaurant has been lately remodeled and re-opened a few weeks ago. The service is now atrocious. They now charge for extra onions on a burger! Burger King's mantra "have it your way" obviously went away with the remodeling. The window attendant was rude when I complained about not getting a discount for the removal of ketchup, mustard and pickles from my burger. The attendant replied "if you don't like paying for 'extras' don't fu***ng eat here! read more

"...special orders don't upset us." That's how the old theme song goes. Fast forward to the present...and you can ask for a special order but they just ignore them. I get it...it's fast food. BUT in this case the problem was a little extreme. Went in this morning to grab two breakfast burritos jrs without cheese. I tried this once before and they messed up the order and put cheese on it. With little expectation but hope eternal I place my order and repeat the "and no cheese please" to make sure. I get verbal confirmation... I drive up and have a confirmation about the no cheese (the guys says he doesn't like the yellow cheese too)...I get my order and drive off. Paranoia sets in...I open a burrito...and it looks like it was hit by tropical storm Cheeezita. I sigh...patience patience...BUT THIS IS MY BIRTHDAY...THIS WILL NOT STAND!! I WANT MY BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST!!! i can get a little worked up sometimes. I uturn and head back...walk in...tell the guy they have cheese on them. And I watch carefully as they make two more... 'yes' my internal dialogue goes 'take those crispy taters and just throw em on top'.... the bag is delivered... I walk out and start the car and start to drive...and open the burrito. these guys are masters of cheeez slight of hand...the burritos are covered in the evil yellow colloid!!!! Cheeeeeeezarated!!! I turn around ( again ) and park...walk in... say "I give up please give me a refund please". I walk out... Across town about 20 minutes later I drive through another BK and order two burritos without cheese. WONDER OF WONDER MIRACLE OF MIRACLES!!!! NO CHEESE ON THESE SUCKAHS!!! HAHAHAHAHA...oh wait...it's just burger king crap...why am I excited. Because folks...sometimes it aint the food...it's about the service. Sooooooo if you are looking to get a fix of fast food without frustration DON'T GO TO THE SCOTTS VALLEY BK Oh queso I'm done with the cheese ranting. get it...queso...cheese... (PA DUM CRASH!) read more

I just went to the SV Burger King for a veggie no meat burger. When I got home I had a cold bun with lettuce two slices of onion and three pickles. Who sells something like this for $9. When I called they said this is their vegetarian sandwich and I should have ordered the impossible burger. Obviously that wasn't clear. I am pissed and won't be returning they. Be careful. This doesn't even earn ONE star but I oddly enough they don't allow you to do that. read more

Wow this place has gone down hill. Waiting 5 mins at the drive thru with no response. "Hello? Helloooo?" Not a single person was inside eating and nobody else in the drive thru line. What are the workers doing inside? It took over 20 mins to get 4 burgers. I could have made burgers from scratch faster than that. Unapologetically slow, workers don't care at all. I think they are laundering money or running a drug operation or something but they certainly are not in the fast food business. read more

I have never been to a burger King in my laif. and fortunately I've only been here one time. burger King in general is a disappointment to the food industry. r they even serve safe?? like if I need a quick munchy I get it, it's an option. but other establishments exist such as taco Bell. the staff are VERY kind, trust me. the trash cans give me that art deco feeling, I like it. just hoping badland comes to save us by eating all the chicken!! this is a good place with some hairy drinks. oh no hair actually. yummy. why did he upsell me to a large drink tho. like I'm poooooor. lel. haha read more

Burger King - Burgers Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

Skip it. This was one of the rare moments when I was having a day where I was so busy, so on the go, away from home and so starving that I caved and went to a drive-thru to seek food. I was on the road before I discovered how horrible the food was. The fries tasted like old fish and the burger patty was cold (maybe 3 minutes after I had pulled away from the drive-thru window). Even the soda tasted funny. This meal ended up in the trash because I didn't want to risk food poisoning. On the bright side, this food was such horrible garbage that I won't want to attempt to eat fast food for a very, very, very long time. read more

I'm so done with this BK. They screwed up my order for the last time today. My 6 cheeseburgers were missing the cheese! And one of my bacon cheeseburgers was missing not only the cheese, but the bacon too! After a hard day at work, I was looking forward to my fast food feast, but I was SO disappointed when I got home....I tried calling the phone number....it's a fax. Wtf Burger King!! ¡ Adios! read more

I find this to be a fairly typical BK. I usually visit the drive-thru. While I like BK food in general, their prices tend to be a little high. I'm more likely to visit this BK (local to me) when coupons are in effect. The only comment I have specific to *this* BK is that while they get all other aspects of your order correct, they HAVE THIS REALLY ANNOYING TENDENCY TO IGNORE YOUR REQUEST FOR NO ICE IN YOUR DRINK. It must be some kind of franchise policy -- it's happened to me too often here for it to be a simple mistake. FIE, BK! BE YE NOT KNAVISH! "NO ICE" MEANS "NO ICE!" read more

See all

These guys would have to work hard at being worse - terrible manners, rude and messed up my order - if you are the owner you had better check your crew otherwise soon you will not be in business. I ordered a whopper low carb wrap wrapped in lettuce and this is what I got - see photo. What a bunch of knuckleheads. read more

Burger King - This is supposed to be a low-carb burger - Burgers Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

Lot of fast food options in this stretch. I pick this one over Taco Bell and Subway.

Christopher is the best worker there he was very nice and probably the best worker out there he has a wonderful attitude and makes Burger King a better place to eat at read more

Food is fresh clean and fast. But the first time I came ((just moved into Ben Lomond hi)) they forgot ketchup on my whopper, the second time I came they acted a little off when I said add ketchup to my whooper... saying it comes with ketchup... I said okay but you guys forgot it last time then... and anyway they forgot my entire whopper this time and none of the whopper juniors had ketchup.... We got packets in the bag.... But anyway the cashier said it already comes on it... but clearly not lol. Really bothered that my entire whopper was missing.... I guess I'll just have to check slower.... I'll be the customer that rolls up my window to check my food carefully before I pull away.. I know corporate trains them to like glare at us when we check but oh well. I'm not paying for a whole burger again just to get home and find everyone's food but mine . things like this happen just saying check ur bag neeeighbors read more

The worst...check you orders...1 marina sauce for 8 cheese sticks. Called they confirmed that is correct. Can we get a Five Guys in Scotts Valley and ditch BK read more

I only came here because my van fits in the drive thru. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a coke because I was in a hurry. I started eating right away and the burger was lukewarm and the cheese was ice cold. I should have thrown it away, but I ate it. By the time I got to the Summit, definitely had food poisoning. Just like most of the reviews, stay away from this place. Tried calling, but no answer. read more

I made an order online from this place they took my money out. I went there to the drive-through to pick it up. They had two blockers in the drive-through and the front door was locked. I walked around the drive up window, and there was three people in there and they said they had to close it down for a half hour for their lunch because they only get paid $15 an hour but it only takes one cook and one person to give you your order so I'm not sure why they closed their business down for a half hour, but I don't think the management or the owner knows what they're doing but they're ruining your business. It was a Sunday during the Academy Awards it was at 7 o'clock. They wanted me to wait outside for a half hour before they would give me my food that's in real bad business they don't have to close the whole store down and take lunch and complain about their job. They're only getting paid $15 an hour their choice to work there. read more

To begin with - I don't eat fast food very often. I don't like French Fries and I never eat sausage or bacon. That said, I prefer Burger King foods over the vastly more popular (in my area) McDonald's foods. Today, I decided to walk in for breakfast and try their pancakes and eggs. All I wanted was pancakes, eggs and coffee. I looked at the menu on the wall and there is this Ultimate Platter with way too much food, but it includes my 3 items. Below I saw the pancake and sausage platter. There is NO pancake and eggs platter. I noted that is something I have easily gotten at McDonald's many times (but I don't like their pancakes). My order was simple. "I would like pancakes and eggs." Blank stare from staffer. She can't figure out what to do or maybe she doesn't understand English? Then I offer, "How about the Pancake and Sausage Platter, but with eggs instead of sausage?". She gets her manager. I tell him the same thing and he repeats, "Oh, you want to take off the sausage and add eggs!" I said yes. The staffer punches in the order and I add, "And I would like a small coffee". She punches something in and says it will be 19 cents extra for the eggs. I am curious why eggs are more than sausage, but whatever. I did not look at my receipt until after the meal came out to see that I was charged for the Ultimate Breakfast Platter $5.19 (which normally includes sausage, eggs and coffee along with the pancakes, hash browns and a biscuit), .19 for the eggs and $1.00 for coffee. Total $5.95. What I get is the Ultimate Breakfast Platter with everything except sausage. So I paid more to get less food because I did not want sausage AND I got the extra food I said I did not want. On the positive side: Their pancakes and eggs taste yummy and I definitely like your pancakes better than those served at McDs. BURGER KING WEBSITE CHECK: I see you do not offer eggs as a side at any of your restaurants. Pancakes, Hash Browns and Sausage are sides you can order separately. Why not the extremely nutritious egg? Is there some kind of egg shortage going on? If I could order eggs as a side I would come back and get sides of Pancakes and Eggs without a hassle, right? PLEASE ADD EGGS as a side we can order. It appears that your employees do not understand substitutions. I thought it was such a simple request! :( Irritated, in Scotts Valley, CA read more
