Intro
Greetings, fellow dramatards . When Mr. Beast burgers first launched, I, like any other functioning adult, didn't give a shit. But ever since they announced he was planning to sue the dark kitchen he partnered with for this ventureβand in turn, they were suing him back βI developed this morbid curiosity to try them. Recently, with all the drama surrounding Mr. Beast, I decided that if I wanted to try them, it would be now or never, before this affront to all fast food finally goes where it belongs: the grave.
I'll try to keep this brief but informative .
Order
This was my order:
1 Beast Style Burger
1 Nashville Hot Chicken Tender Sandwich
1 Beast Style Fries
1 Chocolate Cookie
It's a lot of food , but worry not, I just wanted to get one of all my fast food favorites since I don't think I'll be ordering this shit ever again in my life . Hopefully, it'll be worth it to save half of each thing for tomorrow, rather than throwing it all out... and speaking of being worth it...
Price
I know prices might change depending on the region, so I will add a similar McDonald's order for comparison. On this order, I spent... $9.99 for a Beast Style Burger, $6.79 for the Beast Style Fries, $9.49 for the Chicken Sandwich, and $2.99 for the cookie. That is a grand total of...
$29.26!! (+ delivery fees)
That is fricking insane . For comparison, a similar McDonald's order would cost me $18.60 (Quarter Pounder: $5.95, McCrispy: $5.60, Basket of Fries: $4.05, 2 Cookies: $3.00).
Mr. Beast is 57.3% more expensive than Mickey D's .
Jesus. But I'm sure it'll be worth it, right?
The Food
It came wrapped up in this cute bag.
Something I found really cool were these safety seals which indicate if your delivery guy tried to steal some of your fries .
I gotta be honest, I love it. It's cute branding, and it made me feel like as long as the food is good, I didn't get THAT ripped off.
Taking out the items was easy, and they all came individually wrapped too. Another good thing .
I actually had to wait a good 15 minutes before starting to unwrap my meal since I got busy. Again, credit where credit is due, the food was still pretty hot when I got to it. Didn't even have to pop it into the microwave.
Now, the moment we've all been waiting for... how does it look?
Ok, two things immediately jump to mind:
This looks really good
This looks COMPLETELY different from what I saw on their menu and many social media posts .
I don't know if I got unlucky (or lucky ) or if they just gave up and now deliver whatever the frick the dark kitchen is making for themselves (as this comment wisely pointed out).
I guess I am a little disappointed that I won't get the raw meat burger experience I was promised . But enough sulking, let's give them a try.
TASTE
Beast Style Burger
To me, it looks really good... but does it taste good? ...
Yes! Well ... kind of . The patty is pretty tasty, the buns are good if nothing special, the cheese is not bad quality, which is always a risk with these types of ventures, and the mayo-ketchup ratio is good. I honestly can't find a single thing to complain about, other than there's nothing special about it .
It's not THE BEST burger I've had, but it's not bad. Here, I'll give a list of how other burgers compare in my mind, along with this one, so you can get a feel of my preferences:
Wendy's Baconator: 10/10. The absolute pinnacle of fast food. I love it, and I've never had a bad one.
Quarter Pounder: 8/10. Pretty good. Not as good as the Baconator, but a solid option that plays in its own field.
Burger King: No idea. It's trash, all of it.
Whataburger: 6/10. Not a fan. They are a little dry for my taste.
Now, what would I score this one? ...
Beast Style Burger: 7/10.
As I said, it's not bad at all, but really, even if you ignore the price (which is a big fricking if), it still gets outclassed by a Quarter Pounder. Overall, not a bad experience, but I'm pretty sure it's a far cry from what a lot of people got to taste.
The one thing that I guess is a constant are the ingredients, and this burger is condiment HEAVY. It has a good amount of mayonnaise , which I never add to my burgers. Despite it not being bad, the reality is that once you account for its price, it's just not worth it at all... let's see how everything else fares.
Nashville Hot Chicken Tender Sandwich
I'll be honest. This one looks a lot less impressive than the burger . It's just 2 pieces of chicken and some lettuce. I actually prefer chicken sandwiches to burgers, but it's rare for a burger chain to nail them. I usually order mine from Wingstop. Is this one even close to the supreme Wingstop Louisiana or Cajun sandwiches?
Nashville Hot Chicken Tender Sandwich: 5/10.
I'll explain my scoring system a little, to make my opinion on this one a bit clearer. Anything between 1 and 3 is something I would NOT EAT, even if freely available. A 4 I might consider if I'm starving and won't be able to eat anything else for a good 3 or 4 hours.
Between 5 and 6, you'll find all the things that I am willing to eat FOR FREE. Meaning that I would never, in a million years, order them for myself, but if I attend an event or someone's party and that's what they have, sure, whatever, it's better than nothing. This falls squarely there. It was extremely forgettable and a waste of money, if I'm honest. NEXT.
Beast Style Fries
These are weird . They're just regular fries but with caramelized onions, American cheese, pickles, mayo, ketchup, and mustard. Not bad, I guess, but again, really condiment heavy. To me, this just highlights how much this food was targeted for babies and little kids. No adult needs this much shit added to their fries to enjoy them .
Now, for the last part, dessert
Cookie
It was not even a fricking cookie. They gave me a brownie. EXTREMELY sugary, but not dry. 4/10.
That's it! I hope you enjoyed my food review c:
