Burger King Million Dollar Whopper Reviews
Read my last BK review of the Addams Family Meal here.
Burger King’s Million Dollar Whopper Contest introduced three limited-edition Whopper flavors: the Mexican Street Corn Whopper, Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper, and Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper. As a fan of creative burger twists, I couldn’t wait to try them. Here’s how they stacked up.
Mexican Street Corn Whopper:
This burger has some nice elements but struggles with the same issue all Whoppers have—too much tomato. The oversized slices drown out the more delicate flavors, leaving the tortilla strips as the standout feature for their satisfying crunch. Unfortunately, the corn spread is flavorless, adding nothing to the experience. The spicy queso is mild, but I appreciated how its heat built up subtly at the end. It’s a decent burger, but not one I’d rush to order again. Rating: 5/10
Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper:
This one had potential, but the store forgot the pickle fries, which was disappointing since they’re a key ingredient. Despite this, the burger was flavorful. The briny and sour pickle ranch sauce brought bold dill and herbaceous notes, which I loved. The bacon added richness, though it wasn’t smoky, and the mild white cheese balanced the tanginess. While the flavors were good, the missing pickle fries held this one back. Rating: 4/10
Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper:
This was the clear winner for me. The maple bourbon BBQ sauce was excellent, offering a sweet blend of artificial maple and standard BBQ flavors. I couldn’t detect any bourbon, but that was fine since I’m not a fan of liquor flavors. The crispy onions and jalapeños added great texture and a touch of spice, while the bacon was rich, even if the sauce’s sweetness masked the candied flavor. Overall, this burger felt well-rounded and satisfying. Rating: 7/10
Service:
The service was efficient—I placed a mobile order and waited less than five minutes to receive my food. However, the missing pickle fries on the Fried Pickle Ranch Whopper was a letdown.
Final Thoughts: While the Maple Bourbon BBQ Whopper stood out, the others felt like missed opportunities. If you’re curious, they’re worth trying, but act fast—they’re only available for a limited time!
