Assessment: Burger King – Philly Soften


Side view of Burger King's Philly Melt.

Burger King’s Philly Soften options two flame-grilled Whopper Jr. patties (for a complete of 1 / 4 of a pound previous to cooking), flame-grilled peppers and onions, Swiss cheese, and Savory Royal Sauce, served on two slices of toasted bread.

The burger/sandwich price me $5.99.

Given it is the identical width as a Whopper Jr. however is barely taller, the Philly Soften (and the entire Soften line) is a reasonably small burger that you would be able to simply maintain and eat in a single hand.

Burger King's Philly Melt opened up.

Toast is a type of issues that nearly by no means seems properly from a quick meals chain. It is solely ever crispy should you lucked out and acquired a bit that got here straight out of the toaster. That did not occur right here, and the toasted floor was only a skinny chewy pores and skin on every toast spherical.

The cheese was properly melted into a wonderful, gooey mess. It was creamy however in any other case very gentle.

The meat was moist and considerably coarse. It is usually hit-or-miss in my expertise however there was a little bit of flame-grilled char taste this time (though the charred veggies may need contributed to this), which is at all times good. The meat-to-bun ratio was nearly one-to-one and delivered meat and cheese in each chew.

The peppers and onions had been cooked by means of and gentle. The onions added a little bit of sweetness.

The Savory Royal Sauce appeared to be a mayo-based sauce that added an additional hit of umami together with a tangy factor.

The issue with the Philly Soften is that it is dear for what you get. At my native Burger King, Burger King’s Double Cheeseburger prices $3.49, whereas a Bacon Double Cheeseburger prices $4.39. Each include the identical beef patties because the Philly Soften. The primary variations within the Soften are toast as a substitute of a bun, Swiss cheese as a substitute of American cheese, Savory Royal Sauce as a substitute of ketchup and mustard, and peppers and onions as a substitute of pickles. That quantities to an additional $2.50 (a 70% value enhance) for toast plus flame-grilled peppers and onions. $4 could be a way more acceptable value.
