The Burger King Loaded Steakhouse Burger review
Jump to Comments
Do not, and I repeat do not, under any circumstances purchase a Loaded Steakhouse Burger from Burger King.
What does it taste like?
It tastes like a baked potato went out for a night on the town. He danced and drank all evening and stumbled home in the wee hours of the morning. With blood-shot eyes, he entered his apartment. His roommate, the steak burger, met him at the door. The sweaty baked potato promptly threw up all over him. Then a Burger King employee bound them together in a wrapper and put them on the menu.
I’m not kidding.

Sounds wonderful! Maybe not. That’s gross, dude.
I am cancelling my subscription to Journey Blog now.

This burger sounds fantastic. Thanks for your review, sorry your taste buds havent been calibrated. This burger tasted like Jesus made it at a cook out in heaven.

I haven’t tasted the splendor that is this burger yet, but I shall. When I do, you can be sure that the clouds will part and I will ascend into a blinding light of pure ecstasy. Granted, I’ll be dead from a massive heart attack, but hell, can’t blame me for wanting to burger down and throw up high-fives for christ.

SaneMan scarfed down one of those bad boy burgers. and barfed alot afterwards
March 31, 2008 at 11:24 am
SaneMan (he is a swell guy) said :It’s basically big flat #%*$ undercooked burger that looks like the barbeque rib sandwich I used to eat in junior high, then on top, theres’ fake onion bits and BBQ sauce, then on top of THAT there’s this vomit looking %$&@ thats supposed to be baked potato with “”REAALL”" bacon bits and chives.
It’s #@$%& gross, and I knew I shouldn’t have gotten it, but my curiousity always gets the best of me.
March 31, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Sorry for the editing, I got a few kids that read this.
But yeah, it’s nasty. Just nasty. I couldn’t even finish the whole thing. And if I can’t finish something, it has to be bad.
March 31, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Not sure what was up with mine… had a tiny piece of lettuce that was gone after the 2nd bite… no sauce on it… had to get some mayo and ketchup from the fridge. I had no idea what it was, just looked at the menu and saw a big picture and said “i want that” About halfway through eating it i was wondering why i was tasting mashed potatoes. Wasn’t sure if it was some goo coming out of those onion things or actual mashed potatoes.
Anyhow, I thought it was allright… it hit the spot. i probablly wouldnt buy another one, but i’m not big on BK and usually don’t go there if there is another option. I was just lazy today
March 31, 2008 at 7:56 pm
I don’t think the potato part would have been so bad if it actually tasted like real potatoes.
Oh well. Lesson learned. I’ll always keep separate my steak, hamburgers and baked potatoes.

April 6, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Oh my goodness. I purchased the regular steakhouse burger through the drive-thru, and they gave me this instead. If I wasn’t in a hurry, I would have turned around. The single-most disgusting piece of fast food I have ever ingested (I was surprisingly hungry). Ugh.
April 6, 2008 at 8:38 pm
And the sad thing is I loved Burger King before this. Not as much anymore.
April 15, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I think it depends all where you get it, you might just have some half-assed employees at your local burger king… I had one last night and; well… http://jlosh.wordpress.com/2008/04/14/the-burgerking-steakhouse-burger/

BK Loaded Steakhouse Burger is gross! I tried it mainly today because I had a Buy One Get One Free Coupon and figured why not. But even after paying $4.39 for two of them using the coupon, I wish I didn’t buy it and want my money back. I couldn’t even finish my FIRST burger for lunch. And here I am reading the terrible reviews on this sandwich online and trying to finish up my SECOND burger for dinner (hey, I was raised to not waste food and money!)…and it’s somehow a little better. Maybe the fake mashed potatoes morphs into something different after six hours of sitting in the fridge(Like Italian Food). SUM IT UP: DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY EVEN WITH A COUPON!
April 17, 2008 at 12:24 pm
this thing was a huge waste on burger kings part, unless i almost think it was on purpose, to pull in fast money and discontinue it, its terrible. BK normally has decent stuff but this makes the mc donalds ripwich look great. It sounds like it will be good but it taste really crappy, ONLY due to the fact they use very cheap tasting rib meat, SCHOOL QUALITY, its not tasty by any means, I felt a little sick after eating it, BTW mine had grissle in it.
If they used their normal angus burger patty it would have been good.
April 18, 2008 at 8:39 am
I’ll probably NOT buy one - but I read through all the posts here and wondered, WHY am I reading reviews of Burger King burgers when I have so many other things that need to be done…
I find myself doing the things that I know I shouldn’t and not doing the things that I know should…but I’m working on it…
April 18, 2008 at 8:51 am
Brandon,
At least you aren’t the only one. I’ve written almost 1,000 posts here and the friggin’ burger review has more views and gets more traffic than anything else.
April 21, 2008 at 7:56 am
I didn’t think it was that bad!!! You obviously are a fussy eater.
April 21, 2008 at 11:22 am
Actually I’m an incredibly picky eater. Except when it comes to fast food. If it’s a burger joint, I’ll most likely eat anything on the menu.
In fact, on paper the Steakhouse burger is tailor made for me. In reality, though….not so much.
April 22, 2008 at 7:01 am
Yeah, I see what you’re saying Chad. The burgers never seem to look like what they do in the pictures. They are just a flattened piece of slop by the time we get them.
The funny thing is, I never write on blogs and the one I decide to is about disappointments on a burger!! Its fun sharing though, thanks Chad.
April 22, 2008 at 7:03 am
Thanks for joining the conversation. It’s what makes this whole thing fun.
April 22, 2008 at 10:12 am
Against all warning, I tried this burger…
It was fantastic. I don’t understand the complaints! I felt like God himself was smiling down upon me while I ate this masterpiece.
Funny post/comments
April 22, 2008 at 10:21 am
I’m glad you enjoyed it Bill, don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it too and I love my fast foods.
April 22, 2008 at 10:31 am
Obviously someone liked it. Otherwise they’d have pulled it by now due to poor sales.
I’m vaguely tempted to try another one.
My stomach just did a somersault. Temptation ended.
Thanks for stopping by.
April 29, 2008 at 11:22 pm
I thought it was good, not what I was expecting though. In reality, this burger is a pretty risky move on BK’s part, being that it’s such a departure from the norm in the fast food industry. So props to BK on being creative, but the problem with being risky is that some people will like it, and some won’t.
April 29, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Slogging my way thru one right now…
Scraped the spuds off to the side, salted ‘em up and they’re ok like that (or at least edible). On the burger itself, not so much.
The burger itself is a da– hockey puck.
Not impressed.
First and last one I ever have.
May 1, 2008 at 6:42 pm
I found that if you pour on quite a bit more A-1 sauce and scrape off the patato poop, it’s still rough to swallow.
May 2, 2008 at 11:47 am
nasty. thats all I can say. fake nasty flat meat thing. (cant even call it a burger)
May 3, 2008 at 2:54 pm
The fully loaded steakhouse burger was probably the best burger I’ve ever had from a fast food joint. This tasted like a steak dinner on a bun. WHAT BURGER FROM A FAST FOOD PLACE ISNT FAKE NASTY MEAT?!?! You people need to realize that you’re eating at a fast food restaurant, not some gourmet place, not even Fuddruckers. Its not gonna be filet mignon and they’re not gonna bake their own potatoes in the back.
May 4, 2008 at 3:13 pm
My wife & I had a coupon for the Buy 1 get one.. After eating it, we had to look it up & find out what others had to say. The initial review of the baked potato & his roommate was right on. 5 hours later, three shots of Pepto, 4 rolaids, and a 1/2 gallon of h20, & my stomach still feels like %#$@! This is the worst tasting piece of garbage I have ever eaten, & I have eaten a lot of crap. Boycott the Steakhouse #@$%house Burger! It’s worse than Al Quida!
May 10, 2008 at 12:54 pm
THIS BURGER TASTES LIKE GOD
DEADLY, ARTERY CLOGGING GOD
June 9, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Loved it. It started with a lingual/tastebud foreplay and ended with an intense gastric orgasm.
June 12, 2008 at 7:35 pm
I got food-poisoning from this demon. Not an hour went by for over 3 days where I wasn’t in the bathroom. I woke up one morning drenched in sweat. Seriously, my shirt had not one dry spot on it. Is this thing supposed to be cooked less or something? Funny though, my large friend had the other one and she was alright. Good for her to take care of me for the 4 days though.
June 18, 2008 at 8:52 am
lol! That’s awesome… I’m tempted to try it now.
June 18, 2008 at 9:07 am
Don’t do it. You have been warned.
June 20, 2008 at 8:39 pm
I hated the loaded one, but I love the regular steakhouse burger. You know, the one WITHOUT the undercooked spuds? I’m eating one right now, and it’s delish. That and a cold root beer really hits the spot.
June 25, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Oh my goodness, I had one today. I can’t believe I ate that whole thing. And it wasn’t even good with those crispy onion ring crumb things on it. Ugh. I may never recover.
June 25, 2008 at 5:10 pm
[...] Ugh. I should NEVER have eaten that whole thing. It’s like telling my body, “you know those 2 and a half miles you walked this morning? Just ignore that because I’m going to stuff down this entire burger which must have at least 4000 calories.” Burp. I have to kind of agree with this review here. [...]
June 29, 2008 at 9:47 pm
I got one today and it was horrible. For one, it was smashed down to around an inch thick. Two, the patty was like beef jerky, and this after waiting for longer than usual at the drive thru window, which in itself is no big deal but you would think it would mean a fresh burger. I know I will never order another.
July 1, 2008 at 2:42 pm
This was the best burger other than the whopper I’ve tasted from BK! It really hits the spot and it tastes great! Bacon, chives, potatos, steak, A1 steak sauce…Really good…And I ate the whole thing! It was huge!
HUGE!
July 1, 2008 at 11:44 pm
Just had one. I thought it was pretty good. I was curious to see the specs…

The loaded steakhouse burger is the best fast food item I have eaten in my entire life. You must be a tofu munching, tree hugging hippy. Quit blogging and go have a cobb salad.
July 10, 2008 at 8:01 am
That’s pretty funny considering I eat more hamburgers than most people I know. Just not this one ever again.
July 11, 2008 at 2:30 pm
IT’S PURELY NASTY.
I THREW IT AWAY AFTER A SEVERAL BITES.
NOT RECOMMENDED.
July 15, 2008 at 7:56 pm
HOW IS THE REGULAR STEAKHOUSE BURGER WITH THE A1 STEAK SAUCE??
July 15, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Alright. I got sucked in to the new steakhouse burger by watching the advertisement during the all star game.. I am eating it now… Yeah, it doesnt look like it does on the commerial (which will soon be false advertising once i pass the bar), but the burger is damn good.. So shutup everyone and take a bite.. Shame on local buger kings for making it look gross, but shame on you asses for saying its gross.

July 16, 2008 at 12:51 pm
wtf are the little flakes its got if you buy the loaded version seems like a fail to me might as well eat this thing…
July 16, 2008 at 1:02 pm
I think those are supposed to be potatoes. That’s the “loaded” part. Eat it at your own risk.
July 20, 2008 at 6:03 pm
No one should be surprised. Burger King is notorious, at least among my circle of friends, for “tasting cheap”, cheap, tangy tasting meat. Or, as a friend put it, “It’s like eating the King’s ass.”
They talk a big game, and have good looking burgers in the commercials, but they almost always disappoint. The only thing “Angus” about their meat is that the cow *might* have been named Angus.
July 21, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Had one today, just because BK is close to my work, and I was bored with my usual chicken sandwich. Sounded good.
And actually, I liked the crunchy onions and the other stuff. But I’d like it WAY better at half the size, and less of the goopy stuff on top. A Whopper JR sized burger with the onions and much lighter on the potato stuff would have actually been good. As it was, I ate half, and now I never want to see one again.
July 21, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Due to the poor service in every Burger King I’ve ever entered in Orlando, I’ve been on a BK BoyKott for about two years. I broke it only once to try their Omelette Sandwich, which was only “enormous” as an insult to THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY (and my arteries). But then I saw those posters go up and couldn’t believe it. The whole concept just sounded wrong. Those cooks in the BK test kitchen must be smoking some serious crippy to have come up with this fast food freakshow of a sandwich. Obviously, I found the thing inedible, but what bothered me most was their promoting it as a burger topped with a stuffed baked potato. Spreading a layer of instant mashed potatoes on top of cheese and bacon slices does not replicate the taste or texture of a hand-scooped, hand-mixed, twice-baked tater. And I didn’t detect any sour cream in the mix either, a crucial mistake. Absolutely terrible. What this Abominable Burger of the Idahoans reminded me of most were the gross-out concoctions me and my friends used to come up with during grammar school lunchtime. Things like dipping pizza into chocolate milk, spreading mustard on an ice cream sandwich and, come to think of it, putting instant mashed potatoes on a hamburger! Too bad we eight-year-olds didn’t know about copyright protection back then. Anyhow, back to the BK BK.
