Of the major burger chains, Burger King has by far the best burgers. They FAR outstrip McDonalds, and are better than Wendy's. At least BK burgers actually taste like a real burger.

Anyone that regularly eats at any fast food place is looking for a weight problem, probable diabetes, and an early death. But, for an occasional burger, Burger King is the 2nd best that I have found.

The absolute BEST in done by In -N - Out, but they are strictly a West Coast chain, in the States.

South America, next thing they will want to include coffee as part of the beverage. Amazon, along with that triple/triple I have a twisted ankle and I need to climb 10 flights of stairs 4 times today. Thanks

At least the lineup at 11PM would have a rhyme and reason in Crack Central.

I met Tim Horton when i was a kid (he was still a Leaf at the time).. at one of his outlets.. maybe his first one in Mississauga.. got his autograph. I think he might be turning in his grave to see this Canadian icon, that prided itself on its distinctly Canadian fare and identity, become an appendage of an American burger empire.. that has reduced its menu to that of the most formulaic and bland 'global' greasy spoon.

Tims has been American owned before.........






Wendy's has grown to more than 6,000 restaurants worldwide, with a reputation for fresh, high quality food, and fast and friendly service. In 1995, Wendy's merged with Tim Hortons but Wendy's sold the stock of Tim Horton's in 2006.


Despite maintaining its operational headquarters in Oakville, the spun-off holding company, Tim Hortons Inc., was initially incorporated in Delaware.


On 29 June 2009, Tim Hortons Inc. announced that, pending shareholder approval, the chain's operations would be reorganized under a new publicly traded company, also named "Tim Hortons Inc.", incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The change was being made primarily for tax purposes


On 28 September 2009, Tim Hortons Inc. announced it had completed the reorganization of its corporate structure to become a Canadian public company.

we only go to a fast food outlet about once or maybe twice a year, but if we do, it is burger king.

those double whoppers with cheese are delicious, with fries of course.

i always request very very little mayonaisse etc, don't like it runny and juicy, i like to actually

taste the foods in the burger, not messy sauces.

they make good coffee too, maybe they can improve tim horton's coffee, i don't like it at all.

[looks at watch] What time did it escape? (slaps knee, saunters away chuckling, damn that was easy)
Amazon Tea is not going to make the menu is it, unless the Smoke Houses on the Rez can do it as a tie to their ancient past and it brings in $850T per year (after taxes, nobody rides for free) and never, never land is via a combination of some really good stuff mixed by ancient Chinese if that will help and the only damage done is what you do to yourself. (with the appropriate waivers and those toys). Neeed more?

I agree with Coldstream that Tim Horton may well be rolling over in his grave but the fact is that he isn't the first and won't be the last. Times change and companies need to stay competitive. I understand they will remain separate entities and employees jobs are safe. Good on Timmy's.
