Burger King

It seems a wee bit pointless to write a review for an immutable über business like Burger King — I mean who is going to take any notice? But hey, they shouldn’t be exempt from criticism on the grounds of familiarity or predictability!
Obviously we all know what’s coming when we go to BK or Maccas or places of their ilk which keep the proverbial wolf from the door when we are desperate! (Because you have to be really, really desperate don’t you?).
To be honest, in choosing between BK or Maccas I prefer the latter where I get a wrap or salad. The food at BK has an overcooked, rancid flavour to me — just sayin’.
My other half and my kids will eat the food — I don’t think I have actually bought a meal for myself but I sometimes pick at their fries or other greasy offerings and usually prefer to wait until I get home to satisfy my (far superior) discerning palate!
But I digress to the purpose of this review, critiquing this Pukekohe store in particular.
I have probably been to BK in Pukekohe 5 times since it opened, as a passenger in the drive-​thru. Every time they have got the order wrong. Every time! Whether it’s been omitting to include the onion rings or giving the wrong drink. What is wrong with the staff there? Are they deaf or feeble? How hard can it be to put the correct things into a bag? I know, I’m expecting a silk purse from a sow’s ear…
Yesterday was my most recent visit. Of course we made sure to check the food in the bag before leaving. And guess what? They gave us more than we had ordered! I remain gobsmacked.
I can’t give more than ²⁄₅ all round really.

Standard BK menu. Not the biggest outlet of this chain, but it’s great to have one in town.
