They should keep it as it is and just clean it up and make an 80s-themed fast food/diner style restaurant. I'd go there.

Where did they hire that guy reporting😭😭😭😭

Dude reporting is a trip... 😂

How much coke did this guy rip before this😂

Just did some quick research. This restaurant opened in 1987 and closed in 2009.

Clearly from the soda fountain this place was in operation in the early 2000's. They're acting like they just uncovered Pompeii 😄

The reporter is like 90's era Tom Arnold.

It was open as recently as 2012. It hasn't been "closed since the 80's". And that BK interior design is from the late 90's, not the 80's.

I ate at this Burger King many times. The last time I remember it being open was the early 2000s. While it may not have been updated since the 80s, it def was open 20 years ago. I was there.

I used to eat there with my sister when we were kids. I can confirm nothing has changed.

Is the reporter tripping? wow the guy is on something, hitting evrything, 100 miles per hour.. come on

This reporter helped himself to some "80s" prior to the taping hahaha

If you look at the soda machine you will see that the stickers are new logos so they were still operating that place recently.

I love that reporters energy 😂 bring him back

At around 2:15, the camera hones in on the Heat Chute Chart, you can see a date of Monday, December 1, 2008 in the upper right-hand corner, so it looks like this particular Burger King was open until at least then.

That abandoned Burger King is quite a classic from way back when. My, how times have changed over the years!

Part of me feels like we're in a completely different universe, and that Burger King is the only evidence we have that the era is over.

This guy thinks the only thing else to come out of the 80's besides saved by the bell artwork was Duran Duran and somehow he equates them to being similar. His manic excitement is fascinating.

Bruh, they just hiring anyone 😂

Man I wanna fire that kitchen up and start serving Whoppers! I worked for BK in the 90s when I was in HS and college (in Indiana). This is nearly the same layout and equipment of my store. Everything looks to be in great shape for the age and time spent sealed up.

This reporter is a treasure

This exact burger king setup was in Crossroads mall in San Antonio, on one side was a woolworths and the other a bookstore. I used to eat there around 1989.

that ancient-ass onion ring

This guy is hilarious on his reporting! lol Reminds me of some guys I used to work with from Santa Cruz, CA

I grew up 15 to 20 mins from that mall I ate and that burger king they closed it in 2009 but it was in operation since the 80s when it was built up in till 2009 when they shut it down I forget why they did but when it was open it was jumping there food was good the staff was very friendly I have so many memories of that place I was in high school when it was still open me and my friends always use to meet up there on a Friday or Saturday night grab a bit to eat sit and talk no cellphone no text no apps etc etc how I miss that era of life times were so much simpler it's the last peace of my childhood memories I have I remember were me and my friends sat all the time there it sucks they wanna tear it down it should be considered a land mark hell if they gave tours you make a killing.

I worked at a Burger King in the 80's, during college. It was in Neenah, WI. All the stuff in this kitchen here looks exactly as I remember it! 😊

I love this reporter and how he's tweaking out

They try to make it sound like this BK has been shuttered since the 80"s. Which isn't the case. I lived in the area from the early 2000's to the mid 2000's and this BK was still in operation then.

A prefect example why a reporter should not drink while on the job!

I was born when they made that onion ring.

I really miss the old Taco Bell interiors. They were pretty similar in design.

There is no way that burger king is from 40 years ago. The labels on the soda machine are from like the late 1990’s-early 2000’s.

I have eaten at that burger King numerous times in my youth

This is how Burger King still needs to be set up, with the Flame Broiler at the start of the prep line

The reporter is next level 😂 he looks like a who from the Grinch stole Christmas

This reporter is awesome

This is the coolest reporting about a Burger King, that I’ve ever heard in my entire life

Looking at the logos on the drink dispensers, this place closed a lot more recently than the 1980's. Still cool though.

How much coke did that guy snort before the cameras started rolling 🤣💀

Bring it back to life!

The Burger King near me went out of business a while ago. I remember going to it when I was in middle school. The Burger King building now is still standing but there’s weeds (plants 🌱) growing around it and the building looks shambles. No one has touched that building since, is the Burger King chain going out of business around the world? Let me know what the Burger King looks like where you are.

Burger King should reopen that location immediately...I'd LOVE going there.

Burger King corporate should really lease it again and reopen it as an 80's themed location, even down to reprinting the 80's themed paper bags and burger wrappers, and uniforms too! Would be a fun nostalgia themed trip, I bet they'd have enough business to make it viable, but a franchisee won't have the funds to go as far as reprinting old designs of paper goods, would have to be a corporate venture.

Probably would make the best burgers there with those vintage flame broilers.

This had to of closed up in the late 90s early 2000s from the looks of the stickers on the foundtan soda machine. That sprite logo is definitely 90s Era.

Look up the Burger King on Governors island, NY. The island is no longer a military base but it was the ONLY BK to sell pizza , burgers and beer. I used to live on the island in the 80's.

I WANT TO GO PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THAT PLACE ! 😭😍😍😍

The reporter is giving me”Tweaking on cocaine”vibes…🤣🤣

I like Hank's reporting style

HANK .YOU NEED TO CHECK THAT REGISTER. BECAUSE I NEED MY MONEY .

I was on vacation in 2012 for a week and ate there several times.

I ate at this Burger King back in the 90s, at least once or twice. I grew up just over the Delaware line in Kennett Square, PA. The Concord Mall was the mall for me growing up. I wish the old Arcade was still intact. Spent a butt load of quarters in that place. I haven't been in Concord Mall for years, I live in NYC now, but they used to have a pet store that I would make sure I cruised past with a date so she could oh and ah at the cute puppies.

Dude I live in a very backward hick part of New York state and places looked like this around here until like 5-10 years ago.. come to think of it I think Wendy's still might..

It's definitely bigger than most fast food restaurants of today

Nowadays every single fast food place that gets a new popup looks like the inside of a hospital. This guy is def on something though, not that I can hate him for it though because he's probably just going on a trip.

Oh look, a vintage death food restaurant.

From the looks of the soda logos, this place looks like it was still open in the 2000s.

This is probably the only burger king where you still have a chance of getting decent, tasty food in 2023

I worked for BK back in the 80's - that's exactly as the store I worked in looked (layout was a bit different) - I used to HATE polishing the brass rails - I wouldn't surprised if there was a can of Brasso in the back... If I remember correctly where the "artwork" was those could be replaced with posters of whatever was new like "Burger Buddies" or the new "Chicken Tenders" (my favorite).

Duude brahs, this radical joint is buzzing my man. What revolution are we in dudes? I got knocked out at a Duran Duran concert, just woke up.

Well, it may have been abandoned for some years, but somebody is certainly maintaining it, or it would be thick with dust/grease etc.

The ceiling fan has been running for 40 years. True story..

The flip ook thing the camera man zoomed in on clearly shows Monday October 2008 on the top right. So it's been closed since then. Not closed since 1983.

This is a news channel?! 😆 They are so unorganized and jumpy!

That looks like every Shipley donut place here in Houston. 40 year old decor to save a penny. The local Burger King looked the same, until it closes 2 years ago.

greatest reporter I ever seen in my life HAHAHA

"I will eat that on the air." subbed for this future video

This guy loves his Duran Duran and whoppers

I think that’s 90’s BK , the soda fountains are the tell, and no way that onion ring is 40 years old, if so BK uses a lot of preservatives lol

This guy is channeling his inner Bruce Almighty

the reporter is funny AF, this dude is a legend

So many childhood memories there. Also this was more early 2000s/late 1990s than 1980s

duran duran guy is skeeted lmfao

I love that reporter.

3:04 That's an onion ring from back when the onion rings were good. Not the crap that they have today. That's a fucking national treasure

The Burger King was literally remodeled in 2002. I remember it. And I think it was only opened in 1987. Its hardly ancient.

If they ruin that space with another store I'm going to be 😡they could just keep that space for memory and I guarantee it will be a big hit to take a trip back in time like WOW

It's identical to the Burger King I worked in when I was a kid. the only difference we had a drive-thru, and a playground. The office and everything else is identical. Tulsa Oklahoma. 61st and Garnett.

The sprite logo on the soda machine was in use from 2006 to 2008 so it definitely wasn’t closed up in the 80s. Probably during the recession in 2008.

Need to go back to these styles and the way things were. They would make more money just on nostalgia alone.

the anchor in the beginning sounded so bothered that they had to report on this

Scary part is that the fried onion ring looks fresh.

Two tables facing the trash cans. Nice.

How much drugs did the Reporter have? 😂

Neat "time capsule" they found! It would be cool to do an 80's themed restaurant - maybe add in a "Stranger Things" vibe to it...

Awesome. It's a thing of beauty already to come alive again. Like Falconia.

A lot of Wendies still looked like this before the pandemic

This guy is something else

He sounded so bummed out when they disrupted his fryer bit.

The reporter talked over the guy he must love hearing himself talk

I worked for KB Toys from 1996-1999. My store was at Christiana Mall. Around 1999, the Christiana store temporarily closed for remodel and I went up to the KB in Concord Mall. I went to this Burger King for lunch several times while temporarily working at that mall. Not sure how far into this century it made it to but it was open and pretty active in 1999.

There's an old Burger King in Northridge, CA on Reseda Blvd. I haven't been there in a couple years, but the last time I went it looked kind of like that. Some franchises for one reason or another just don't remodel.

Oh yeah, I remember the gold bars, the chairs, the brick floors. New ones are great too, but this takes me back!

Is this reporter high, he is a trip... 🤣

this looks very similar to the Burger King across town before the first renovation in the early 90s. Very retro look that that they had back then. Then they updated it and it changed sometime after about 1993ish or so and it was much more modern.

Dude the BK by my house. Still looked like this like five years ago.

Vintage? But it looks like how fast food places always do? Somehow, this abandoned one is better than the ones where I live that are open. It's not even falling apart!

Omg passed this every week never knew

A REAL flame broiled whopper would be great! Not that strange tasting thing they serve now.

When life was much safer
