Tip: Collect Royal Perks points towards free food and drinks.
Markham is graced with a single Burger King restaurant. What about Scarborough? It has eight.
You know what's weird to me? This Burger King on Nugget Avenue is a part of a combo store with Tim Hortons.
This Burger King used to be a Wendy's. You often see Wendy's and Timmy's together under one roof in the greater Toronto area. Burger King is different!
When I worked in Scarborough, my colleagues and I would come to Wendy's for lunch. I wasn't interested in Timmy's, which has endured. Sadly, the Wendy's didn't make it.
I frankly don't know when the change happened. I decided to grab some dinner at Burger King after work on Friday.
I ordered online and earned Royal Perks points thanks to these items:
- Whopper
- Onion rings
- Medium Diet Coke
I got this combo for $10.99 through an online deal. The onion rings were extra. I'm sad that Half-sies (half fries and half onion rings) are no longer available ever since Burger King made improvements to how some food items taste. It was the best of both worlds without breaking the bank.
I paid online. I then took my time driving over to this eatery. I took Markham Road southbound and made a right turn into the parking lots.
Some things don't change. There was a semi-trailer truck parked off to the side before the entrance to this parking lot. It felt so familiar from eons ago.
The signage was straightforward heading to the drive-thru. At the speaker, I let the man on the other end know that I had an order under my name. He immediately said to come on over to the pickup window.
Service was super prompt and friendly. I got my food and drink. I thanked this man and wished him a great day. He reciprocated.
What I don't like about this drive-thru is leaving it. I was immediately going into the traffic flow of the Timmy's drive-thru. It was a bit crazy. Luckily, a man how was heading over there stopped and let me leave.
I ended up parking in the lot by backing into a spot. I needed to place an order at Timmy's. I also needed to put my food in my insulated bag. The paper bag had my first name on it. It was cute and practical.
After I was done visiting both parts of this combo store, I headed home. I then had dinner.
I love the improved Whopper. It's so good. You still get the flame-broiled beef patty. The tomatoes, pickles, and tomatoes taste fresh. The bun is excellent. Yum!
The onion rings are different. They are larger and crispier. I'm so glad that I finally tried these improved rings.
My Diet Coke was cold and hit the spot. It washed all my food down.
I liked reliving memories and starting some new ones at this Burger King. The drive-thru is a hazard and is scary. Otherwise, it's a solid eatery.
