    • I tried five cheeseburgers from Burger King, including the Whopper and the Bacon King.
    • I thought the Triple Whopper was less flavorful than some of the smaller, cheaper burgers.
    • The Whopper impressed me with its flame-grilled patty and classic cheeseburger toppings.

    I’ve been around the burger block, and Burger King’s cheesy, flame-grilled burgers consistently rank among my favorites.

    According to an original menu reported by Delish, Burger King has sold cheeseburgers since its inception in the 1950s, but exactly how the chain makes them has changed considerably.

    The chain started with simple broiled cheeseburgers, but now the Burger King menu includes cheeseburger melts, seven variations on its classic Whopper, chicken sandwiches, nuggets, fries, and more.

    To determine which Burger King burger reigns supreme, I compared five different cheeseburgers from the chain. I tried the classic Whopper with cheese, the Triple Whopper with cheese, a plain cheeseburger, a double cheeseburger, and the Bacon King.

    Here’s how the burgers ranked, from my least favorite to my favorite.

    My least favorite cheeseburger I tried was the chain’s classic plain cheeseburger.

    The cheeseburger from Burger King cost $2.79, excluding tax.

    The cheeseburger came with American cheese, pickles, ketchup, and mustard on a sesame-seed bun.

    The burger was extremely simple, but I was impressed by the generous serving of toppings. There was a hearty amount of condiments on the burger, and the cheese was thick and perfectly melted.

    The sesame-seed bun also added a lot of flavor, but this burger was just a little simple compared to the other burgers I tried.

    The flame-grilled burger had a grilled, smoky flavor that worked well with the ketchup and mustard.

    Not only was this burger flavorful, but it also provided the best value, priced at $2.79, which was the cheapest option among the cheeseburgers I tried.

    I enjoyed this burger a lot, but it could have been improved with an extra patty or more creative ingredients. At the end of the day, it was a basic fast-food cheeseburger.

    Next up was the chain’s double cheeseburger, which was a step up from the basic cheeseburger.

    It cost $4.09, excluding tax and fees.

    The double cheeseburger came with two of the chain’s beef patties, American cheese, pickles, mustard, and ketchup on a sesame-seed bun.

    Like the regular cheeseburger, there was a hearty serving of ketchup and mustard.

    The pickle slices were thick and crunchy, and I enjoyed the flavor of the bun.

    I thought this burger was certainly a step up from the regular cheeseburger. It packed the same grilled flavor and low price, but the extra patty made it even more flavorful and filling.

    The Triple Whopper with cheese landed squarely in the middle of my ranking.

    The burger cost me $11.49, excluding tax, making it the second-most expensive burger I tried.

    The Triple Whopper comes with three quarter-pound beef patties, one slice of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, mayonnaise, and ketchup.

    The burger patties had a deliciously smoky and savory flavor that gave the sandwich a freshly grilled taste. The lettuce and tomato slices tasted extremely fresh, and I liked the addition of mayonnaise.

    However, I thought this burger could have been improved with another slice of cheese between the layers of beef. The cheese’s flavor was lost amid all the meat and other toppings.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this burger and would certainly order it again — if I have the appetite for it.

    This burger was extremely filling, and I would struggle to eat it all, in addition to fries. However, if you have a big appetite or simply love Burger King’s beef, this might just be the burger for you.

    The burger was also significantly more expensive than the smaller cheeseburgers and the regular Whopper with cheese. However, I don’t think the higher price was worth it — the two extra patties were a hindrance, rather than an asset, to the burger.

    My second favorite burger was the Bacon King.

    It cost $11.29, excluding tax and fees, making it the most expensive burger I tried.

    The Bacon King comes with two quarter-pound beef patties, bacon, two slices of cheese, ketchup, and mayonnaise on a sesame-seed bun.

    The burger was swimming in mayonnaise and ketchup, but I didn’t mind.

    I like mayonnaise a lot, but I quickly noticed the generous amount spread on both the burger and the sesame-seed bun. If you’re not fond of mayo, you might consider customizing or skipping this burger.

    It was the most decadent, filling burger I tried.

    The slices of cheese were evenly layered over the burger patties, which had a distinct smoky taste.

    The perfectly crispy bacon added even more smoky flavor, and the cheese and condiments added a lot of moisture, which I felt the Triple Whopper lacked.

    My favorite Burger King burger — and one of my favorite fast-food burgers, period — is the Whopper with cheese.

    Burger King’s signature burger has been around since 1957, just four years after the chain opened. Back then, the Whopper cost 37 cents.

    It now costs $8.49, excluding tax and fees.

    A Whopper comes with a quarter-pound beef patty, pickles, onions, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayonnaise. I always add cheese for an extra 50 cents.

    Immediately, it was evident that this burger would be bursting with flavor. Thick layers of ketchup and mayo spilled from the sides of the burger, but the sizable sesame-seed bun kept all the ingredients together.

    I’m not surprised the chain’s signature burger is so famous — it was my favorite, by far.

    The cheese coated the burger patty, and the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions all tasted very fresh. They added a delicious crunch to the burger.

    Even though this burger is a classic, and perhaps not the most creative burger I tried, it was the most satisfying. I also thought it was a great value for the price, and I would definitely order it again and again.
