Burger King let me down.

you weren’t judging a book by its cover, you were judging a book by the previous books in the series and the quality of their author. totally fair and completely understandable.

I love how the Burger King employees got mad that he didn’t want a plain shitty chicken patty on a bun 😅😂

Revew brah has seemingly been let down a lot lately. I don’t even eat fast food, however, these videos usually make my day a little brighter… but I’m starting to wonder what we’re putting this man through.

When Review Brah begins to speak after only 1 bite, you know things are about to get real!

I’ve worked at a Burger King for about 5 years. The issue is most are understaffed, especially at night which create unhappy and stressed out employees causing unfriendly and slow service. Another issue is that they’ll make anyone who shows up on time a manager. It doesn’t matter if they’re manager material. The big bosses get paid for every manager they promote. Another issue is we don’t have trainers. When we get a new hire we basically throw them on board to learn themselves. They’re lucky if they get trained a day. Granted, I do my best to provide good customer service and quality food but overall, it’s a horrible company to work for and the few good employees don’t makeup for the bad.

Wow I can't believe people have to say "I hope" they get what they ordered when they go to a fast food restaurant. That's so ridiculous, getting the right order should not be determined by RNG.

When I was a teen, I used to love BKs original chicken sandwich and whopper w/cheese but man they've gotten so sloppy and inconsistent over the past 15+ years that I don't want to ever risk going there, only to get frustrated. Sad shame that they ruined this particular sandwich, yet again amongst other classic items. 😕

"They have some good items, they have some bad items...this one is not good." What a classy way of telling a sandwich to go to hell.

The world shakes whenever ReviewBrah doesn’t smile on the thumbnail

Once upon a time, the BK Original Chicken Sandwich was one of my favorite fast food products. It was spiced nicely, a nice pepper finish. It had lettuce and mayonaise perfectly applied. It was fried to a juicy, crunchy perfection. And, once upon a time, believe it or not, they CUT IT IN HALF ON THE BIAS. It was beautiful. Anymore, I think they just stick some mess of crap into the microwave and wrap it up and stuff in in a bag. Such a shame. Agreeing with Reviewbrah. Sad.

he's so sweet and genuine. i can't imagine someone being rude to him or upset at him. :/

Burger King is about 2 years from going bankrupt. Follow the trends.

I died when he held the sad looking fries up and said "Burger King's finest right there"

I worked at Burger King for 4 years though high school...I was eventually a shift manager....that was my pre-career work experience and I'll always be glad of it. .....a few thing: The original chicken sandwich is my favorite at burger king but when those patties have sat in the steam tray for anything longer than 5 minutes, it gets bad really fast. Any time I want one (which is rare...like once a year) - i actually go inside and I ask them to drop a new frozen chicken into the fryer for me and use that for my sandwich - i tell them "please don't give me one from the tray. i understand this will take an extra 3:30 and i'm willing to pay you an extra few dollars to make up the loss in productivity.".........and only once they said "okay" and then went ahead and tried to give me one from the steamer - they had it ready in 2 minutes and I told them there's no way they used a new chicken patty because it takes longer than that for it to even cook in the fryer and they argued with me but eventually made another one. Half of the other times, they'll just wait a few extra minutes and still hand me one from the steam tray and then half the time they'll actually make the chicken but they'll pull it out early (fail) - - they'll forget to put mayo on it (fail) or they'll pile three slices of cheese on it ( i like it with cheese and it's supposed to have one slice - cut in half and both pieces laid across the sandwich) - - so of the 10 or so times I've tried my best to get a correctly made chicken sandwich, I can remember receiving one. .....ONE.....and that was over five years ago. I really hate being that customer but Burger King has put a product out that doesn't fit it's own model of service: even when their own model is followed correctly, those chicken sandwiches should NEVER be on hold in the steamer. Back when I worked at B.K. in high school, my particular restaurant was pretty decent and their policy was to only serve fresh chicken and fish - - the burgers could be in the steamer for 20 minutes but the fried stuff had to be fresh because BK corporate's frozen fried products just would not hold up for than a few minutes. Additionally the buns are supposed to be dropped through this roller toaster (sometimes it's a gravity toaster and sometimes they just put it through on the broiler conveyer ) - but most Burger King stores I've visited just skip this step altogether and push out buns without toasting them at all. This is incorrect and I wish that the franchise quality control people would do a better job of making sure that stores are adhering to this. It makes a big difference. Portions also make a big difference. There is a specific amount of cheese that's supposed to go on the chicken sandwich (if it's asked for with cheese) but this is never adhered to. ........I like burger king a lot - but only when made correctly and most of the time it's not. It's the worst offender among the fast food franchises I've ever seen. Mcdonalds manages to put out a fairly consistent product - so does KFC - (pizza hut not so much) - - i don't think i've ever gotten a non-standard taco bell product.....why does Burger King continue to just let their employees do whatever?!?!? Whenever I want Burger King my biggest wish is just for them to let me behind the counter and make my own sandwich. I'd be very happy if I were able to eat an actual Burger King sandwich the way it's meant to be again - - - but I may never taste that glorious crispy and hot treat that is the original chicken sandwich again. . . .

Back in around 1995 these BK Italian Chicken Sandwiches were absolutely delicious! A crispy chicken patty, very zingy tomato-y marinara, and a quality melty mozzarella cheese. It tasted very premium comparatively to what else was available. I had one last time it was available late last year, the soggy shit-fest I endured was not the sandwich I remembered. A very sad day. Quality is something many companies don’t strive for anymore. -sigh-

He just advanced BK's bankruptcy by months. Subtly savage. He's a freaking beast.

BK executives watch with baited breath. The bite. The head shake. The down turned expression. The execs all burst into tears. They know what's coming. A secretary bursts in with a box of tissues. Many are openly wailing. Beating their heads against the desks. Two are wrestling to be first out the open window of the skyscraper. Stocks plummet. The king himself apologises on national TV before his ritual suicide. Reviewbrah's work is done

I had this in the late 80's, and didn't mind it too much -- but I rather preferred another version featuring the same patty & bun, except with American cheese, lettuce, tomato & mayo. That, at least, felt like a real sandwich.

Thank you for reviewing this. I remember several years ago having fond memories of this sandwich and how good it was. Well I had it not to long ago and I barely finished it. All I could taste was salt after every bite. I remember grimacing as I took a bite. If Burger King taught me one thing is… don’t count on nostalgia for thinking something will taste good!

The multiple disappointed head shakes while chewing the first bite were just amazing.

I really appreciate how he actually goes into details on why a particular food item doesn’t work instead of being like most food dudes on KZfaq and go “ew this food sucks”

Worked for Burger King when the food was yummy and I can agree that it is a shell of it's former self. It really seems like all the staff hate their life, and you do have to pray they get your order right every time you go.

I actually loved this sandwich but back when it was at BK before it was usually 2 for 4 or 2 for 5 so yea the new price point is nuts.

I feel you on this. All the Burger Kings around me are just absolutely awful. They somehow can do whoppers flawlessly... but they are INCAPABLE of anything chicken related. It's always burned and completely dry, even when they ask you to pull over to the side so they make it fresh. BK has no care in the world about quality or consistency.

I don`know but one thing`s for sure, nobody can ruin this man`s immaculate grace and style !!!!

I like the original chicken sandwich 'made like a Whopper' (lettuce, pickles, onion, cheese, tomato, and mayo- often I get extra lettuce and onion and pickles). I worked for a Burger King in the early 1980's here in Chicago that was owned by the Mob. They came in to check out the food this one day, along with a lot of their friends; several of these guys ordered chicken sandwiches, and I made them. They loved them so much that they made me the trainer for chicken and fish sandwiches for all their restaurants! Then they asked me to see what this one manager was doing and to let them know. I did. They gave me a lot of money, and the manager must have gotten fired because none of us ever saw him again. But I did ask one of the Mob guys and he replied, "ya know, some people just leave one day and no one know where they go - but they never come back".

I haven't had one of these in a long time but I remember liking them. You have to go into it expecting a McChicken type patty though. With all of the good chicken sandwiches today, I see how this could be a colossal disappointment to others.

To be honest I can’t watch anyone else do food reviews but reportoftheweek, he has so much passion for his work that it genuinely attracts me to watch the video, not only that but his reviews are so authentic, he has absolutely no bias in his statements and he’s a true gentleman. I find that admirable.

Low-quality chicken for sure. The salt is there to help hide that. I remember when this was first offered in 1979, back when I was a kid. I was so excited to try it because it looked delicious from the adverts. The first one I ever got was a lesson in advertising vs. reality: The textures in the patty were so unpleasant that I not only have never wanted this sandwich again, I avoided any sort of chicken sandwich for several years afterwards, because even the thought of such made me want to gag.

This man’s videos are so genuine and honest!! You could put his videos on auto play, walk away and just listen.

Thanks for your reviews man, I appreciate you. Sometimes my only options to eat are fast food when I work far away from home or on a business trip. I work at Fanuc Robotics in metro Detroit but now I have my platoon of men with me in Arlington Texas.

Funny how you were describing my nearby Burger King almost perfectly. I swear the only cars I see parked there are for the three employees

You're like the Bob Ross of fast food reviews. A little odd/eccentric, relaxing and I can't seem to stop watching!

I totally agree with this review. I bought one a few weeks ago when they rereleased it. It was gross! It was very salty. It barely had any sauce on it. The cheese didn't seem like real cheese. It was hardly melted and tasted like I was eating soft plastic. They were actually good many, many years ago. However, I will never buy this again. I even sent a complaint on their web site and I never heard back from them.

I think when marinara sits in its warming container too long it loses a lot of moisture from steam and gets a bad, salty taste as well as probably being oversalted in the first place since its fast food.

How Burger King remains in business is a true marvel in the fast-food industry. It is not just your area that the Bus are trash they are the worst spots almost everywhere they are located. Company is poorly ran to say the very least.

I respect the fact that he took a big second bite, even though he didn't like the first.

I used to make that sandwich back in the day. It was good long ago, as was everything at Burger King, which has been destroyed by various new owners over the years. That thing you are showing us, Review Brah, is a monstrosity.

The despair in his face when he sipped from the chalice 😆🤣

I was considering ordering this, but its $5.50, when you can just get 2 Original chicken sandwiches and 2 small fries for $4.99 on the app. Crazy that some marinara and cheese can drive the price up.

The two Burger King ‘restaurants’ here in McKinney, TX are absolutely horrendous. The few times I have eaten there, the food has been absolutely cold, cheese not melted, drinks flat and zero service. I have complained and have never received a response. It serves them right if they fail and go under.

Spot on!.. I purchased a chicken sandwich from BK in the early 80s and it was also way to salty I couldn't eat it. Fast forward 40 years and I thought I may try this sandwich, until the horror of my previous experience changed my mind. It's bad if you can go 40 years and you still won't try it again. 🙂

Just the "mmm...mmm..." After the bite 😂😂

" I have two burger Kings near me. Both of them are awful" Same goes for the rest of them, my guy

If I was a fast food executive (and thank God I am not), I would contact every single franchise and say to every single manager, "If a guy in a suit who sounds like a Kennedy places an order, you drop EVERYTHING and make sure that order is correct, fresh, and delicious! Your jobs depend upon it!"

"...you know it's just so overdone it's to the point i don't even want this in my mouth anymore..." I DIED LAUGHING LOL - Review Brah for the win!

I would love a whole episode of you breaking down your experiences at these BK’s. I’m sure It’s frustrating but you had me cracking up 😂

I used to love BK back in like 2007. The dollar double cheeseburger era was peak BK. I especially liked their fries, which were light, crisp, good flavor. Then they changed the recipe and now they're doughy, mushy, usually lukewarm. The burger and the chicken patties just taste strange. Just a feel bad experience all around.

As soon as I saw the title, I knew what it was going to be. The sandwich itself isn't bad, but almost every time I've ordered it - from multiple locations even - they've messed it up. This sandwich single-handedly turned me off of Burger King permanently. And every time I've gone along with a friend to pick them up something there, my stance has only been reinforced. The staff is always unfriendly and unhelpful, and the food is just straight-up low quality. Burger King is F-tier.

Had the same issue with the Jack in the Box double Cluck fried chicken sandwich. Cheese has tons of salt. When I cook with cheese I reduce salt by at least 1/2.

Crazy how I feel the exact same way as him in regards to feeling like I have the worst BK next to where I live.

“Burger King is like the opposite of Midas’s touch, where it turns everything to not gold, but garbage.” -paraphrased from a wise voice

That happened to me recently at a Subway. Got there after placing an online order, and heard an Artist tell another customer "We only have wheat bread. Our truck is late." They also replaced my mozzarella with American without notifying me, and I think they were out of a few other toppings as well. My dad wanted some kind of Melt, but they didn't have those (again, I wasn't notified) and the receipt just said "MELT - sub" so it had the ingredients on a normal 6-inch sub.

epic!! love your reviews -- they're spot on, and the delivery is fantastic. don't change a thing!

There was a point in time where I would go to this local BK every Saturday and Sunday. I did this because they'd stop serving Breakfast at 10: 30 am unlike McDonald's, which stopped at 11 during the weekends, and my lunch break is during that time (I also don't like fast food breakfasts much). I can't remember what it was that made me stop going, but eventually I just had enough. Stopped going there and instead went to McDonald's and stomached their breakfast or to a Wendy's that was slightly further away. At one point I forgot why I stopped going there (and honestly still don't remember). Well, the Mcdonalds I went to was closed due to construction and Wendy's is way on the other side of town. So I went to the BK again. Usually I'd get their apple pie, but apparently they were out of them for some reason. They just came out with their new attempt at a chicken sandwich, so I gave that a shot. It was revolting. So bad I nearly puked in my car, no shit. Whatever that gross sauce they served it with??? It was caked in the shit and just tasted WRONG. I detest food waste, so I desperately scraped it all off with a knife and ate the chicken patty plain. I never fucking went there again after that, and you honestly couldn't pay me to if you offered it for fucking free. I forgot what turned me off the first time, but I WON'T forget that last time, for sure!

I don't even know how the BK in my town is still open. There's never anyone there because it's horrible. Meanwhile the McD's across the road from it runs two full drive-thru lanes all day long. The last time I tried to go to the BK drive-thru at around 9pm, I drove off after several minutes because nobody wanted to take my order. I saw two "employees" inside as I drove off, and they were both watching me, one of them kinda half-crouched behind the counter lol... So yeah RIP BK.

For someone who reviews mostly specialty items at fast food places, saying that something is the one of the saltiest things they’ve ever tasted is definitely saying something.

i know this is an old video but, the title made my day... so funny! Btw, you're the best, man!

🤣 the disappointment on his face! 🤣 Lol! 🤣🤣

I remember being a member of the "Burger King Kids club," back in the late 80's early 90's. The food use to be good, and was my favorite burger joint, as a kid. Ahh times have change.

We have had nothing but bad experiences with BK, I thought it was just my family. thank you for letting us know that it's not just us :)

Grease stains for good luck 🤣 I started laughing after that one

the thumbnail shots are so genuine

I remember the three chicken sandwiches from the early 90's. The Italian, the French (basically cordon bleu) and the American. They were pretty good back in the day.

Burger King owes our king an apology

That sip of water was the review right there. You knew what was comin' next.

You’re so sweet. I appreciate you and these videos.

13:35 "As one would say, casually--this ain't it."

This sandwich was excellent when it was first released. Piping hot, stretchy cheese, and just enough marinara. Sucks it's so bad now :(

Thankfully they’ve updated 3 out of 4 of our burger kings.. I went inside the one that’s not refurbished and it’s.. something! Condemnable.. holes in the seats, ceilings dripping, half of the bathroom door is gone and parts of the wall! And it’s a 30 min wait for just a few items. I timed it.. I never went back.

I used to love this sandwich and was mad when they took it away. I saw they brought it back and got one last week. It totally sucked. barely any sauce and the cheese tasted like the cheapest stuff at the store.

Seeing this and Daym Drops' review on the sandwich has proven to me what I should have known all along. The best chicken parm sandwiches can truly be enjoyed by doing one of two things: 1) Supporting your local mom-and-pop pizzeria or Italian restaurant that ISN'T Olive Garden. 2) MAKE. ONE. YOURSELF!

i started watching you because of the memes and i just find it funny in the beggining, but you actualy seem like a very genuine and down to earth person, i really enjoy your videos, keep it up

I remember making these when I worked in BK in high school. It never was a big seller when I worked there

I think these sandwiches really hit their peak when there were four of them and they were known as the "International Chicken Sandwiches." I tried one the other day for nostalgia, but all I really got out of it was a sandwich so dry I had to add mayonnaise to it. Plus, I think these sandwiches shrank, they use to seem so large. Made me feel I was not getting my moneys worth. Thank you for the review.

I liked Burger King as a kid but by the time I was an adult they had gone bad and now all 3 Burger King locations in my area are long out of business. I don't even know of an existing Burger King any more and that's probably a good thing.

Lmao that title is awesome

Great video as always. Yeah, I've got one BK in the area that I trust to be decent.

I haven’t had Burger King in like 15 years

This dude can review a paper clip and make it sound so exciting and intriguing.

This dude was born for this. Love your content my man@

In Australia BK is named Hungry Jacks. Sucks just as much. They recently stopped providing straws.

the world ends when his disapointment is unmesurable and his day is ruined.

average person's idea of italian food: >pizza >pasta >mozzarella >bolognese burger king's idea of italian food: >salt

At first I was glad they brought it back and tried it, and then I realized that I didn't really care for it. I love a good Chicken Parm (it's not even called that at BK) but it's so bland. :P The sauce and cheese have no flavor. I haven't gotten it again since its return.

Great review! I have gotten wretchedly bad food at Burger King on a few past occasions, and after that I gave up on them.

When this was on the menu about 10-12 years ago I really liked it, It tasted like a chicken parm sandwich. Now I'm afraid to try it out.

It's honestly the only reason I go to Burger King! Everything they make is garbage and sometimes (like yesterday) I just crave terrible food. They never fail to disappoint!

He almost broke near the start 😂😂😂

👍I remember going to my first BK back in the late 60’s, it was awesome. Since then they have been on a downhill slide.

It’s like a chicken pizza told its parents that it now identifies as a sandwich.

I used to love Burger King. I would have put the Whopper up against any fast food burger. BUT they have really gone downhill over the past few years. The Whopper itself is a disappointment nowadays. It's sad to see them decline and not seem to even care. Wake up Burger King!!!

The Chicken Parmesan sandwich was what Burger King originally released in the 1980s. It was basically the same thing as this. At the time, BK also offered a Ham and Cheese sandwich, a Hot Roast Beef sandwich, the basic Chicken Sandwich and this "Italian" Chicken sandwich. The Hot Roast Beef came with horse radish sauce as a condiment.

There was a BK at the end of the block from my college apartment. I used to absolutely house these things way too often twenty years ago when it was a regular menu item. Of course back then they had a good amount of sauce and melty cheese and were freaking delicious. This is sad.

I feel like every item from BK tastes way too salty or like old used frying oil, everything tastes the same too. I don’t understand how it can be my brother’s favorite fast food chain

Tbh I'm surprised BK is still in business they've had such low quality crap for so long.

Well, Mr. Report Of The Week the fact of the matter is that things are in such a sad disarray, and this just reflects upon the sad times that we're living in...💯✔

Just subbed after watching this and a few other vids. In the 80's I was at a burger king and ordered the same thing. My sandwich had a big inedible rubbery thing that ran through the whole patty, it looked like a whole chicken neck lol. I carried it up to the counter dangling it like a rubber band and asked for a refund.
