You can take that back because i've eaten at both and BigWheel is nowhere near "twice as good" as Burger King, and i've eaten a lot of different burgers in my life (if you saw me in person you wouldn't question that ). The flame-broiled taste of a nice juicy whopper gives it a unique fresh-off-the-barbecue taste that is very hard to beat.
Have you eaten at both and compared prices?
I too love a good Whopper when I feel like a cheap, quick and tasty burger.
But there are times I will go to a more established place and order a burger and have no problem paying $15-20 for it if it stands up to fresh and solid ingredients.
Two VERY different hamburgers in taste and price. Very much enjoy both too.

Past 9 you get half-price burgers if you order a drink too, so that's a really good deal. We got there just at 9 and it started to fill up pretty fast, by the time we left it was totally full and there were people waiting for tables.
Also, different strokes etc..., but I don't get the praise for Burger King burgers, even if they're "flame broiled" (I guess their commercials work). Those are horrible, better than some other fast food places, but still horrible. In my opinion at least.

Except you guys have obviously never tried the bacon double cheeseburger at Bigwheel. Not just any bacon. We're talking' that THICK high quality, expensive stuff you only buy for Christmas breakfasts. I had one today and it was the best burger I've had in my life.
Seems you people still have some homework.
...if I ever get around to it. The one I had without bacon was pretty good just the way it was

You just said it yourself, they are better than some of the other fast food places. I don't think there was "praise" for Burger King as much as acceptable. I personally said I enjoy a GREAT hamburger and would be more than willing to pay top dollar for that at any establishment. However, if I want to eat at a fast food joint, not spend $15+ dollars that BK does curb that craving for me. Especially after a night of some wobbly pop.
I also enjoy the newer Angus Burgers from McD's. as well.
But NOTHING ever has topped a Lick's Homeburger with back bacon and extra Guk sauce. A chain primarily in Ontario, if not in entirely in that Province.

Worst hamburger i've ever had. Even worse than Ronnie's normal (gaines) burgers.

They made veggie patties from scratch that were really good. Looked at me sideways when I ordered a veggie burger with bacon

I had bacon on my burger today and must agree; it was excellent.
I got it to go as the dining area is just not that appealing, though. It didn't help that they seemed to have no heat today.
