Have you ever heard the term "hole in the wall"? Well, Hamburger King is definitely that. If you blink while driving on this busy street and are not familiar with the area, you will miss it. The parking lot horrible, and we had to park across the road, which felt a little dangerous.

We heard many people in the city brag about this place, so my husband and I decided to drop by and grab a couple of burgers. If you are not a fan of small spaces and crowds, this is not the place for you. They were very busy, and the wait time was about 20-25 minutes. We went after lunchtime.

Have you ever heard of place that sells burgers without fries? Hamburger King does not offer fries, unfortunately. My husband mentioned that they had chips and some other options. This factor made me deduct from my review. I felt the prices were a little steep for just a burger. We paid almost $20 for two burgers.

When I saw the bag, it reminded me of a small store in my hometown that sold food. The food would be so good.

 

Although I was a little disappointed by the location and prices, the burgers were good. The burger wasn't a frozen patty; it was fresh beef, but it was seasoned to my liking.

Drum roll, please, for the tally: 4.0 out of 5 stars. I didn't like that I had to get fries from somewhere else. The location was not the best, and the prices were high.

Would I recommend it? Yes. I think everyone should give them a try. If you are like my son and don't care about sides with your burger, then this place would be great. You may want to get yourself a drink because the burgers are a decent size. Be mindful that the restaurant is only open Monday-Friday, 7 A.M-2:30 P.M. They are not open on weekends, and they only accept cash They do have an ATM machine.
