Burger King’s about to be dethroned from its No. 2 slot in the burger chain hierarchy.

In the first shifting of U.S. burger rankings since 1969, Wendy’s is about to swipe that coveted spot from Burger King, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Still firmly in first place is McDonald’s.

"BK is really disgusting these days."

Agreed. The last time I went I mentioned to my wife that this was worse than dog food and I haven't gone since. Say what you will about the blandness of McDonalds, it's clean, predictable and fresh. And it doesn't stink when you open the carton.

Second that. Wendy’s has for a long time been superior to either King or the Clown. Too bad it’s so fattening. A crispy chicken sandwich with large fries and a Coke runs about 1 1/2 days worth of Weight Watchers total points.

This is a McDonald's McNugget before being molded and cooked.

They have been for years. New fries won’t bring me back. Many times in the past I’d order a “Whopper” which ended up tasting old, stale, and contrived. I don’t visit BK anymore and never will.

On a more positive note: If anyone of you know of Chick-Fil-A, they get my business here in my locale in NC, when I want fast-food. The restaurants are astoundingly clean, the staff cheerful and actually seem happy for your patronage, and the food is hot, flavorful and fresh. Pretty simple stuff. Oh, and if you walk in at lunch-rush and there’s 5 lines of 10 people each, you’ll have your food in less than 3 minutes.

They freakin’ rock.

Doesn’t speak well for the fast food chains if Wendy’s who can seemingly never ever get an order straight is better than BK now.

there are times when I drive past my local Burger King that the smell eminating far, far out from it makes me want to vomit.

I prefer a Hardee’s Thickburger when I can find a location.

Wendy’s new Fries are amazing. EASILY #2 if not #1 in the Fries wars. BK’s are garbage.

Every time I go to the King anymore, they love to screw up my order or the food is poorly cooked. I can see why people are not going there as much anymore. Plus i think Wendy's has better fries even though the square hamburgers still bug me after all these years.

It doesn’t get any better than Chick-fil-a. I second what that guy above said. I swear they must sprinkle cocaine on the chicken because it’s so damn addictive.

I never pass a Whataburger. That might be the reason I am overweight

They're fried in politically correct reptile fat.

BK puts wayyyyy to much salt on everything for my taste.
however if BK could introduce a large tasty coffee drink (sugar free) for around a $1.50 I would be there. Actually, if any place would introduce a laarge sugar free coffee drink for a $1.50 I would be there.
