Food Fight #1 - McDonalds vs Burger King
 


Welcome to The Mall's Food Fight! Each week a food product or restaurant will be pitted - eh, get it? *cough* food puns *cough* - against another food product or restaurant to see which will come out on top. Make sure to tell us below which you think is better and remember: don't just vote, expand on your answers! We want to know why you are so adamant with your answer (:

This week, we are pitting two of the biggest fast food burger joints out there against each other: McDonalds vs Burger King. Which will come out on top? Only YOU can help determine which is superior!

If you have a matchup that you would like to see, send me a VM or PM and if your matchup gets chosen then an emblem will be given out as a reward!

Without further ado:

Which restaurant is overall better: McDonalds or Burger King?

I love burger king, but I have to go with McDonald's. They often have better toys, and they're cheeseburgers are addictive. <3

Keiran April 7th, 2016 9:02 AM

I would never eat from either but I've heard literal horror stories (mostly about cleanliness and other health hazard related issues) about Burger King from people I know that have worked there, so I'm going to go with McDonalds. Except the McDonalds on Dorset.

Wicked3DS April 7th, 2016 9:06 AM

McDonald's just to piss Archy off has much better fries and burgers.

Margot April 7th, 2016 9:24 AM

I was never a fan of the char broiled burgers that BK made. Even their fries weren't that great. There have been lots of days while being a celiac that I wish I could indulge in a big Mac with fries. Also kudos to McDonald's Sweden for having gluten free burgers.

McDonald's, hands down.

Esper April 7th, 2016 9:37 AM

McDonald's has the better fries. The last time I ate at Burker King (which was a million years ago) they made soggy burgers and only so-so fries.

EC April 7th, 2016 9:41 AM

McDonald's. Their fries are good at truly any time of the day. 2AM? 2PM? Anytime.

Klippy April 7th, 2016 9:46 AM

If BK is selling their chicken fries, I'm all for BK. But they usually aren't. So McD!

Pebbles April 7th, 2016 10:36 AM

burgerking because they got swirl fries? whatever they are called~_~

OuterTsuchinoko April 7th, 2016 10:44 AM

McDonald's all the way. It's my favorite fast food place in general too. I like almost everything on the menu. Those fries and cheeseburger are delicious, I could eat them everyday. They have pretty good coffee as well. Oh man and those breakfast sausage burritos are addictive.

Skip Class April 7th, 2016 1:00 PM

Burger King because more BKs have drink dispensers that I can personally use than Maccas does. And then come back for a million refills.

... but then again Maccas has them self ordering machines so I don't have to be a social pleb to talk to people

http://s3-media2.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/CDUP1Z6mRdtG7QMOFVCw5A/348s.jpg

food's okay for both

I've never seen those machines before. I'd love to try ordering food on a machine one day be it Mickey D's or anywhere. The only cool thing I ever see in fast food places where I live are those fountain Coca-Cola machines with the touch screen that have like a thousand different flavors to pick from.

Belinda April 7th, 2016 7:25 PM

I always preferred Burger King as a kid. I honestly loved their fries and most of their food in comparison to McDonalds. I hardly eat at either fast food joint nowadays (Burger King is too far now ever since our local one was closed) though. But I'll have a Mcflurry like every two years lmao.

Sylphiel April 7th, 2016 7:31 PM

I have wanted to go to McDonald's before just because I wanted their fries...well, and some of their other things, but the fries were the deciding factor for me at the time I made the decision. I can't say that BK has anything that draws me in, so...McDonald's wins my vote.

(Although okay okay I haven't been to a BK in years, but seriously the main reason I went to BK before then was to basically "take a break from having McDonald's all the time", lol. Not really the most compelling of reasons.)

Sirfetch’d April 7th, 2016 7:47 PM

McScuse me. Burger King is better in almost every way. While I rarely eat at either, I much prefer going to BK and getting a tasty burger.

Sothis April 7th, 2016 8:27 PM

McDonalds, the Burger King here closed down lol

I don't go to either often. I prefer BKs burgers and fries but I love McDonalds Breakfast menu and that I actually will eat. Plus the King is terrifying in those ads.

Logan April 8th, 2016 1:12 AM

Agree with Moon

Mana April 8th, 2016 1:57 AM

UK fast food must be consistent :c agreeing with Moon and Hashtag completely here haha.

ALTHOUGH I had an obsession on BK's chicken pops when I was younger. Those were good too :c. Close call but McD wins by a hair.

Hikamaru April 8th, 2016 3:53 AM

BK became a relic of the past, so I automatically have to vote for McDonald's.

Judge Mandolore Shepard April 8th, 2016 7:17 AM

When it comes to McDonalds vs Burger King, I have to go with McDonalds. For one thing, I don't like the fries at Burger King, but I like the fries at McDonalds. Plus I have also eaten at McDonalds more times than I have eaten at Burger King.

Cay April 8th, 2016 7:35 AM

BOOI McDonalds takes it for me. Gotta have me a good shamrock shake. their mcflurries are amazing too. havent had BK in a while tho =/

I think my vote for McDonalds will be for their breakfast menu too. I pretty much either choose their Deluxe breakfast or McMuffin sausage, lol.

McDonalds! ^^ Despite the existence of the SuperSize Me movie and all the flak that McDonald's gets in regards to consumers "eating healthy", their fries are (usually) amazing, and their hamburgers and McChicken sandwiches are just terrific..! I haven't eaten Burger King in quite a while, although the last time I had the fries there, they just didn't taste like the superior McDonald's fries (which have essentially tasted great for me for the longest time).. McDonald's also has an iconic Happy Meal design (except the containers with the creepy eye imagery) as well as iconic mascots (although Ronald McDonald and friends seems to be somewhat diminishing in prominence, moreso the guys like Hamburglar and such), although the "Burger King's literal Burger King" campaign was freaky yet hilarious. {XD} I think McDonald's has funnier/more memorable commercials, though, and their iconography, coloration, and uniform scheme is very distinct, in my opinion (plus the "Mickey D's" nickname and the classic golden arches!). Oh, and the good McDonald's food aromas! {<3} Although, I'm glad that both restaurant chains (McDonald's and Burger King) have fielded Pokemon-related toys at least once! Although Burger King still disappointed me with those "Game Boy" toys that I thought was a real functional Game Boy. ;-; Ooh, and I remember this Sonic the Hedgehog-related mini handheld that was nice..

...Although, I'm really hoping that McDonald's institutes "all-day fries and hamburgers" at some point.. How are we gonna have "all-day breakfast" when the restaurant essentially got its start from (and is known for) fries and hamburgers? -_-

.And I've really wanted to try those Burger King chicken fries for a while, now.. :< Oh, and that team-up of Burger King with Cinnabon was just stunning; if McDonald's partnered with Cinnabon, my great food dreams could come true.. <3

{XD} Those self-ordering kiosks are interesting! I like actually talking to cashiers for the order, though; it just wouldn't feel the same otherwise.. XD

Winter April 9th, 2016 5:10 AM

Burger King? People still go there?

killer-curry April 9th, 2016 6:53 AM

Because the nearest outlet for McDonald is 10 kilometer away and no burger king outlets anymore here,

McDonald is the only choice I have. Seriously, fast food is more like a luxurious thing for me.

Firox April 9th, 2016 7:31 AM

I rarely go to any of the two anymore
(years for both)
I always liked BK better - the fries, the onion rings, the cheeseburgers, and even their breakfast items

I used to live for those McMuffins. The texture of everything in them tastes artificial and delicious to me at the same time.

I go occasionally for those rare times when I am tired of McDonald's fries. Last order of fries I got from them made me want to give up french fries from there forever though, they were so badly done.

Their Satisfries were great though. Shame they didn't sell well enough to keep around.

chellie88 April 9th, 2016 4:27 PM

Whenever I have a sweet tooth (or inexpensive coffee craving), I go to McDonald's. Also, the McGriddles are amazing there.

Winter April 9th, 2016 5:32 PM

Burger King is just so horrible here and in the countries I have traveled to that I am just surprised that people still eat there. Wow.

It's good to know Burger King sucks all around the world. The only thing I really liked were the chicken fries and I had them like twice. Oh and when I was a kid I used to love their chicken tenders, but I don't think they make them anymore.

Apart from food quality horror stories, their food is more expensive yet smaller in portion than McDonalds. Yet another point deducted.

Probably more expensive since no one eats there and they have to make up for the loss. Lol

El Héroe Oscuro April 9th, 2016 6:56 PM

Honestly I think the Burger King chicken fries are overrated. My girlfriend is obsessed with them but I never really understood the hype around them (shhhhh don't tell her I said that.)

I don't know what it is about them, but their great. Maybe it's the funny commercial that makes people like them more and the box design. I just wish more came in the box, they can fit way more than they do.

Maybe I just got a bad batch of it. That's my one issue with Burger King. I think their burgers are superior but their fries are overall very hit and miss with me because they are sometimes cold and flimsy.

That's why I love McDonald's so much, I don't think I've ever had a bad batch of fries from them. And whenever they are flimsy it's because I took too long to eat them which is why they are always the first thing I eat now. For some reason all the other fast food places never have consistent fry quality and I hate that. I especially hate KFC potato wedges when they have been sitting out for a while. They are soggy and have no crisp to them at all, yet when you get them fresh made they are wonderful. Sucks that most of the time when I do get the potato wedges they are crap.

Nick April 10th, 2016 8:12 AM

I have a soft spot in my heart for Burger King.

Fun fact: It's where my parents met.

When I used to go to McDonalds, I would always get fries that were clearly reheated. Some were super hard. Some were cold. It was terrible.

Centipede Chan April 10th, 2016 8:18 AM

McDonalds for life <3 (although life won't be long if I keep eating it >~> )

Burger King does have good chicken related food though. Chicken fries and tenders are amazing from them. But McDonalds has fries, McChickens, cheeseburgers, and whatever else I can't think of right now that I love from there.

RegalSin April 10th, 2016 10:15 AM

They both taste like garbage. However Burger King have the higher quality in my opinion. Mcdonalds have a nice taste but leaves you with a negative feeling afterwards. Also Mcdonalds fries seems to never age or die which is unnatural. Burger King at first taste terrible but within time it gets better. However the winner is clearly Wendys and White Castle. Those oily little WC burgers with Churches Chicken and Onion Rings alongside Wendys big classic burgers and big fries. Nothing else is better then Wendys and White Castle. Only bonus about BK and MC is the little toys. Toys for lower-income children.

Qibli April 12th, 2016 8:14 PM

McD:
  • Good for it's fries
  • Has Mcnugger
  • Mcflurry is good
  • Has McFlitter (Fish)
Burger King:
  • Good grilled style burger
  • Variety of burger menu
  • Signature Whooper
  • Customized the burger you want (Have it your way)


but I go for burger king they're burger are the bomb.

This is the truth, why it isn't an option in the poll? They sell cheap fast food so what else than crap you would get there. The toys are just an evil plot to get kids drag their parents there to eat crap and get fat.

Crystal Berry April 13th, 2016 2:38 AM

Tbh I don't know since I haven't had many menu-exclusive items. I don't particularly care for McDonalds' super thin fries though. I like them thicker and less salty.

EC April 13th, 2016 5:53 PM

Food Fight #2 is gonna be Pepsi/Coke, right?

ShinyUmbreon189 April 13th, 2016 6:18 PM

They both suck but McD beats BK. Their fries are better and I've grown to like their burgers more. Plus their McDanks (Mc Double and Mc Chicken combined) is amazing drunk so that automatically gets the win. BK is seriously too expensive for the quality. They're expensive as Wendy's and Wendy's is better than both combined.

Palamon April 13th, 2016 8:26 PM

Well, neither are really that good to begin with. =/ McDonalds gives me indigestion, and Burger King makes me nauseous, but if I had to choose, McDonalds takes the cake because their Happy Meal toys are partsway decent.

Leviathan April 14th, 2016 5:05 AM

Dawhhh, Burger King is falling behind. </3 Agh, I want to like both but usually whenever I go into McDonalds around here the service is poor. Stuff comes out cold, you have to hang around for 20 minutes just to get a milkshake, staff is rude, etc etc. But that improved I might like it more.

For now though I'm with Team Burger King. Overall better service, and I love them Chicken Royales.
