Sweeped the steaks at Burger King

Burger King is one of the most popular food chains not just here in Manila but all over the map. They're known for their great hamburgers, most specifically for their Whopper which according to my research sells second most to McDonald's Big Mac. However, this entry is NOT about Burger King's Whopper but its other more popular creation, the Classic Steakhouse Burger.

Just this afternoon, Toby and I were set to meet and have our very late lunch date together. We were supposed to eat at McDonald's Filinvest but upon my suggestion, we decided to go to Burger King Marcos Highway instead which was only a few meters away.

At the store, looking over the menu, we came across something called the Classic Steakhouse Burger. That wasn't the first time I've actually heard of it since lately I've been doing some online research on Burger King and their entrée.

Inspired from our last trip at Jollibee, I wanted to try something new and different again. Hence I thought to browse Burger King's selection and stumbled upon the Classic Steakhouse Burger. Based from the reviews and articles I've read about it, the burger seemed promising. I also thought that Toby might like this since he's a big fan of steaks. Besides, I was already getting tired of the promo burger meals that we usually get whenever we dine at Burger King.


Convinced with my request, Toby placed two orders on their Classic Steakhouse Burger along with my ever favorite apple juice and some onion rings. This was actually my first time to try their onion rings.

Initially, I was a bit hesitant to ask Toby to order it for us because of my traumatic onion ring-experience way back 6th grade when I had eaten a bag of nasty onion rings which I bought during the school fair. Ever since, I've always been cautious of it. But earlier was like my redeeming moment, from what I thought to be something sickening was now one of my most enjoyed snack. Burger King's Onion Rings were amazing!

But enough about that, lets move on to the burger. First of all, the Steakhouse Burger is more expensive than many of the other items on the menu, but Burger King justifies it by claiming that it is a higher-grade meat and it is of good size.

Well, they are right on both accounts. This burger does not taste like your typical burger from Burger King. Though, overall, I think that they truly have excellent burgers simply because they put an effort to make it healthier by flame-broiling their patties. Speaking of patties, if you compare Burger King's Angus Beef Classic Steakhouse to other burger joints who offer the same kind of meat; theirs is cheaper by a whole lot. Awesome, right?


I was quite pleased with the tender and juicy meat, and I was impressed with the thickness and size of it, too. I also loved the deliciously crunchy fried onions that came on top of the burger! Yum! Also on the burger were cheese, mayonnaise, tomato and lettuce – the poor bun could barely hold it all! This sandwich, quite frankly, overflows a little too easily because there is just so much on it. I gladly ate the entire Steakhouse in minutes.

On the other hand, Toby had a lot of complaints with his burger. I guess he just didn't think it was worth the steep price. Oh well.


Minus Toby's unwelcoming attitude and the argument we had before eating, I can say I've enjoyed the stay and the meal at Burger King. It was definitely something different, well the food at least. So, if you're in search of a burger fit for a king, I definitely recommend that you give BK’s Classic Steakhouse Burger a try!
