Its mushroom flavor is definitely strong. It made my mouth taste like I just tried to get rid of a bag of psychedelic mushrooms by eating them while cops break into my bathroom, which has a toilet clogged from trying to flush my weed stash, hence the reason why I&#8217;m eating all those mushrooms. But what makes this burger the least appealing of the three is the Griller sauce. I have no idea what Griller sauce is, but whatever it is, it makes the burger a bit too salty. It&#8217;s as if I&#8217;m French kissing a mermaid.<\/p>\n<p><b>Update:<\/b> The new BK Chef&#8217;s Choice Burger also has the same sauce and I enjoyed it, so it&#8217;s pretty much the mushrooms that ruin this burger. Sorry, grill sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Because my mind is like the World Book Encyclopedia of fast food, the first thing I noticed about the Deluxe and Western BBQ BK Toppers is that they both have ingredients similar to past Burger King burgers. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grubgrade.com\/2011\/10\/09\/review-bk-toppers-from-burger-king\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As Grub Grade points out in their review<\/a>, the Western BBQ BK Topper is basically <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grubgrade.com\/2011\/08\/01\/fast-food-review-rodeo-cheeseburger-from-burger-king\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Burger King Rodeo Cheeseburger<\/a>.  As for the Deluxe BK Topper, it sounds like a smaller version of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_Burger_King_products#BK_Big_King\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the discontinued BK Big King<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/6228970184\/\" title=\"Western BBQ BK Topper by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6093\/6228970184_ee9b0ef36a.jpg?resize=500%2C374\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" alt=\"Western BBQ BK Topper\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Anyhoo, unlike the Mushroom and Swiss BK Topper, both the Deluxe and Western BBQ BK Toppers were worth the $2.49 I paid for each of them. So it&#8217;ll be worth the $1.99 you&#8217;ll probably pay because you don&#8217;t live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. <\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy the tangy, Thousand Island dressing flavor of a Big Mac, you&#8217;ll like the Deluxe BK Topper. The pickles and onions are larger than what you&#8217;ll find in a Big Mac, but it&#8217;s almost as messy as a Big Mac. It&#8217;s a tasty burger, but I have to say the Western BBQ BK Topper tops it. (Tops. Get it? I. Am. Lame.)<\/p>\n<p>The BBQ sauce sets the Western BBQ BK Topper apart from the others. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrn.com\/article\/burger-king-debuts-new-cheeseburger-line?ad=food-and-beverage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this article<\/a>, Burger King is using Sweet Baby Ray&#8217;s Spicy BBQ sauce. While tasty, I wouldn&#8217;t consider the sauce to be spicy hot. However, the sauce&#8217;s flavor made me wish it came in Costco-sized tubs so that I could dunk the Mushroom and Swiss BK Topper into it to make it taste better. The onion rings gave the burger a little crunch and a bit of onion flavor that complimented the beef patty and BBQ sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the BK Toppers are a pleasant addition to the Burger King menu. Well, the Deluxe and Western BBQ ones, but two out of three ain&#8217;t bad.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/6228446351\/\" title=\"BK Toppers Innards by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6093\/6228446351_488dc72a1c.jpg?resize=500%2C374\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" alt=\"BK Toppers Innards\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; <b>Deluxe<\/b> &#8211; 420 calories, 26 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol, 820 milligrams of sodium, 30 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of sugar, 15 grams of protein. <b>Mushroom and Swiss<\/b> &#8211; 410 calories, 27 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol, 850 milligrams of sodium, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of sugar, 16 grams of protein. <b>Western BBQ<\/b> &#8211; 400 calories, 23 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 50 milligrams of cholesterol, 720 milligrams of sodium, 39 grams of carbohydrates, 10 grams of sugar, 16 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> REVIEW: BK Toppers (Deluxe, Mushroom and Swiss, &#038; Western BBQ)<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $2.49 each<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> N\/A<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Burger King<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10 (Deluxe)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 4 out of 10 (Mushroom and Swiss)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10 (Western BBQ)<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Western BBQ BK Topper is damn tasty.
