Burger King Review

Never coming to SA:

While it's not a thing here in the US, Burger King is celebrating Christmas this year with special holiday menus in a few countries across Europe including the UK, Spain, and Italy.

In Spain, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, and Italy, Burger King is celebrating with the Cheesemas menu, centered around, you guessed it, cheese.

Standard on the menu this year is a new Belgian waffle, with soft serve plus chocolate or caramel syrup, and Emmental (Swiss) Cheese Bites, but the sandwiches/burgers vary depending on the country.

In Spain and Italy, Cheesemas is fairly tame with the standard bacon, extra American cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and tomatoes with chicken or a beef patty. Because it's a Christmas-themed menu, they've taken to calling the beef version, "Santa," and the chicken version, "Claus."

Not ever:

Over in the UK, Cheesemas is replaced with Winter Whopperland, but you can still get the Belgian waffles and Emmental Cheese Bites. The menu also adds Criss Cut Fries.

The Winter Whopperland menu features two Whoppers and a Tendercrisp chicken sandwich.

The Winter Whopper is a standard Whopper with the addition of criss cut fries and curry sauce.

The Smokey Mountain Whopper also includes criss cut fries but also bacon and barbecue sauce.

Finally, the Tendercrisp Magic comes with a Tendercrisp chicken filet, lettuce, mayo, cheese, bacon, and caramelized onions.

So the ads are all over the gautrain station and on 2 billboards on Rivonia rd saying BK opens on 1-2-14. Still no news on where though.
 
sigh ... got bored with the menu very fast ... any idea when they gonn add some new menu items?
 
Interesting, there is store space next to the Musica where the old Exclusive Books and Seattle coffee used to be. Then that whole new section behind the hotel that's completely dead.
 
I see Burger King has increased the pricing on all their menu items. :(
 
Not really. Not in the existing locations. The BK in Tygervalley is no more busy than KFC/McD most of the time.
CBD and Cavendish seemed to be plenty busy in days gone by. I don't know how it is lately. Not worth standing in those long queues.
 
Is there anyone that goes to Zevenwacht Mall often? Please update us when the BK opens there!

I was just at the Cavendish one. No queue whatsoever, walk in and order. Still took them 20 minutes to make my burger though.
