One of the nicer looking BK ( meaning there is no homeless people trolling around asking for money ). They have an upstairs with additional seating near the cashier in the back which is a bit obstructed from view. I came here recently with my coworker for lunch and it wasn't very busy. They had someone directing people where to go but honestly, there were 5 people who were just waiting for their food. That guy would have been more useful in the back making the food. Our cashier was super nice and polite ( must be the first day on the job 😛 ). The food took a decent amount of time and it was meh. The sandwiches were super salty and tasted…different. I might go back again but not for a while.
I have mixed reviews about this new Burger King location.
What I like about this location is the 2nd floor seating. It's very hip and modern, and not to mention, clean. There's also a bit of a view of the street and people walking by, which is nice. However, the 1st floor is a total mess. It's cramped and noisy. I wish there was a way to go straight to the 2nd floor and order from there.
As far as the food, it's typical Burger King, so dont' expect any more, or any less.
Bizarre. First BK I've ever been to with table service. Grab a number sign, put it on your table- a runner brings up the food, and someone puts your bag on a serving tray with dipping ketchup, and even mayo options. Its cool and I appreciate the fact they've hired so many people (5 upstairs) for just maybe 20 tables, but seems over the top. Less can be more in this case. Nonetheless, food was well prepped and prices are in line with midtown manhattan.
Yes, this is a Burger King – but considering the location, this is a surprisingly good Burger King.
Wandering around for a quick and cheap meal (yes, "cheap" in Manhattan is hard to come by), we decided to just do Burger King because it didn't look as crowded as other locations in this area.
Upon walking in, there was limited seating and only single counter areas – but we soon realized there was a second floor to spread to, so we ordered. The staff was surprisingly pleasant which you don't find too often in Manhattan and in fast food locations in general. We ordered our meal and paid the high end for it (we already knew we'd be overpaying). There was a "security" guard down there who likes to stare a lot, but whatever floats his boat.
We went upstairs after we got our food and noticed how clean it was. There was more than enough room to spread around to and a few decent window areas. There is a 30 minute limit to which you can sit and eat, but that's understandable considering the location. Twice during our time up there, the guy who cleans wiped the tables and cleaned the bathrooms – something you hardly ever see anywhere else. The food was typical Burger King of course, but it's still better than McDonald's…..slightly.
So, if you're in the area and want a quick fix for a meal, this is not a bad location at all. Considering that I've been to several stand alone Burger Kings in the past, this was pretty much better than them and that is really saying something.
Where am I? Did I fall into some rip in the time-space continuum when I crossed 7th Avenue? Or am I really having a nice meal, waiter service included, at a Burger King in Midtown?
Oh my goodness! I felt like I was in a full-service restaurant with waiter service. I was motioned upstairs with my receipt, saying that my food would be brought to me. It took me a few times to realize they wanted me to wait up there (I kept saying, "I don't have my food yet!")
When I got upstairs, I was met with a smiling army of workers who greeted me, walked me to my seat, introduced me to my tablemate (it was lunch time, and we were each a party of 1, so they needed to conserve space). They brought my food out, checked on me, and thanked me as I left.
This was my first visit to BK in over 6 months. I don't visit often because nothing about the experience stands out, except for the usual lingering guilt about eating fast food. But because of the "BK Experience," you've landed back on my mind as a viable lunch option, and I am sure to return very soon (and recommend the experience to anyone who'll listen!). Please keep this option available at this location!
