Burger King, a big contributor into me gaining weight when I was younger. I used to like it but now that I'm smart enough to know what's good for you and what isn't I don't like fast food restaurants at all. If you're trying to not get fat don't go there, unless you there once every 3-4 months then I guess it's good. Their burgers are OK, fries suck compared to McDonalds and Chicken sandwiches don't even stand a chance against Chick Fil'A's

You know I can't really say because it might be very different than here. Also we live in the land of plenty. So, we take fast food joints for granted. If I was 18 and was told I couldn't have a Big Mac or a Whopper with cheese ever again, I swear I'd panic. Anyway, give it a go. I suggest a Whopper with cheese, Onion rings, or Chicken Fries.

Burger King and Wendy's are probably the best chain, fast-food, burger joints.  Far above McDonald's and Jack-in-the-box.  Better than DairyQueen.  Slightly better than 5 Guys.  Slightly worse than Burgerville. 

But nothing beats the local "mom and pop" burger joints.

I wouldn't go with "divine" ... but at least BK and Wendy's make it obvious they put lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions on. You can see/taste them.

As I said - if you want "the best" burgers/fries/etc ... it's generally better to go to a local "mom and pop" restaurant. They're usually worth the extra time and expense, over any "fast food" restaurant.

From experience, American fast food places tastes better in other countries. Not only that. They taste quite different. I really like the Mcdonalds in Japan and the KFC Vietnam. Take whatever you can from that.
