McDonalds and Burger King are two of the biggest international fast food chains in the world. They both specialize in serving signature items like hamburgers, french fries, soda, and milkshakes, although other choices like salad and desserts are offered as well.

This page is dedicated to deciding which restaurant chain is better, and why. We'd love to hear your opinion, so feel free to join in our McDonalds versus Burger King discussion below and share your thoughts. McD's or BK, which one has better food?

McDonalds

McDonalds Golden ArchesThe first restaurant of the company was opened in San Bernardino, California in 1940 by two McDonald's brothers who practically invented fast food. These days McDonald's is found in 119 countries and serves over 58 million people a day (source). They mostly sell hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, French fries, soft drinks and desserts. In response to criticism about their menu, McDonald's also started offering more healthy choices like various salads.

McDonalds, simply for the fact that they have better french fries!

resabi says:

McDonald's is the sentimental favorite and usual choice, even though the Burger King burgers might be better. Can't beat McDonald's breakfast or fries. Or hazelnut coffee...

Burger King is better!

laquaje says:

mc.donalds sucks

darkprinceofjazz says:

Overall Burger King is better, It's all about the burgers, I don't think it's even close, but Burger King had terrible fries, I wish I could combine the 2, Both are inconsistent Drive-thru wise, McDonald's has a better breakfast, and good salads. But the Whopper tastes 10 times better than any of McDonald's burgers.

cffutah says:

BK tastes better.

big brown says:

nnaij says:

I love the whopper with black pepper sauce!

Jack2205 says:

Burger King's grilled food is better, and their breakfast is better.

    Personally, I prefer Burger King. Their burgers are just better but McDonalds has better fries. Against the two though, Checkers wins out with the 2 for $3 deal.

    enjoyed the clash between one and the other.

    I think it's a tossup. They both have items that are good. Nice lens!

    I just cannot choose between the two. Both Burger King and Mcdonalds have their good qualities and unique style of tossing out an amazing array of fast food. I'll have to check them both out again I guess...maybe that will help me decide ;)

    I have to say McDonalds, although I don't often eat there, I do prefer it over Burger King...although I can't say why. I wrote a lens on a great fast food-ish place called Chipotle. I think it trumps both (although McDonalds is definitely more iconic). Check it out: http://www.squidoo.com/chipotle-mexican-grill2
