This Whopper might be the most hearty one yet.
Burger King has been skillfully creeping its way into being one of my favorite fast-food spots. Growing up, I opted for McDonald’s or White Castle instead. But in the last few years, the chain has been releasing some phenomenal meals that I simply cannot ignore. The Mexican street corn burger and pickle fries from 2024 really got me into Burger King. And the tropical SpongeBob menu from a few months ago was perfection. It seems coloring the bun really does make everything taste better.
But now, BK has dropped something immense: a brand-new Whopper that will have you wanting to visit on your lunch break, at dinner and maybe even again for a late-night snack.
What is the new Burger King Whopper?
It’s the Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper, and it was created by us. Continuing the successful “Whopper By You” series, the King has created the Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper from the creative input of all the Burger King lovers out there. It’s made with flame-grilled beef, golden onion rings, crispy bacon, mushrooms, melted Swiss cheese and creamy peppercorn aioli all stacked between two toasted sesame seed buns. It’s a thing of flavorful beauty.
What does the Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper taste like?
This Whopper is one hearty burger. The beef patty is tender and juicy. Combining the salty bacon with melted Swiss cheese and sauteed mushrooms amps up the smoky, umami flavors. I almost never opt for mushrooms on burgers, but they ended up being a top-tier texture addition. The peppercorn aioli added amazing moisture without becoming drippy.
If you’re a fan of the King’s famous onion rings, you’re in for a scrumptious surprise. Miniature onion rings blanket the top of this burger with a hefty crunch. A full bite of the fluffy bun, tender patty, crispy bacon, soft mushrooms and bite-sized onion rings made for a flavor experience I’ll surely go back for.
The only downside I might add is that this Whopper is a bit salty. Not enough to detract from the overall experience, but salty nonetheless.
How long will the Ultimate Steakhouse Whopper be available?
The Ultimate Steakhouse Burger is a limited-time offering at participating restaurants nationwide, so grab it before it leaves the King’s court.
