This is a pretty decent small fast-food burger. Keep in mind that it is pretty small, but really not much difference than most of the other fast-food restaurants. At $1 it's actually a pretty good deal, but you might want to think about ordering two or getting a different larger sandwich altogether. (I prefer Hardees thickburgers when it comes to amount of meat for the money.) From a taste standpoint, it is pretty good. Buyer beware on the pricing if you get it as part of a combo meal (see below).
There has been a lot of controversy lately about this burger being sold for $1. BK headquarters want the franchieses to sell it for $1. The franchieses say that they lose money at that price. Just note that some Burger King restaurants are handling this situation by upping the price considerably when ordering it as part of a combo meal. Here's my last experience.....
I went to Burger King the other night and ordered the Double Cheeseburger combo meal. It included the double cheeseburger, small fries, and small drink and cost $3.79 before tax. Interestingly, as I waited for my food, I noticed that double cheeseburger, small fries, and small drink (16 oz.) each cost $1.00 on their BK value menu. I also noticed that the price for all the other combo meals (adds a small fries and small drink) were exactly $2.00 more than the cost of just the sandwich alone. Apparently, if I had purchased the double cheeseburger, small fries, and a small drink instead of the double cheeseburger combo meal, it would have only cost me $3.00 instead of the $3.79 that I paid.
I didn't make a fuss since it was still a fair price (and mighty tasty too) at $3.79 but if I had done it again, I would have ordered each item separately, got the same food, and kept the extra $.79 plus tax in my pocket.
