You see, I&#8217;m not sure if the extra meat enhances the burger&#8217;s flavor, nor does it stand out. I know there was some brisket on my burger because it&#8217;s hard to miss the wet cat hair-looking blob, but it doesn&#8217;t add anything. Instead, I tasted a lot of the familiar Whopper flavors \u2014 the flame grilled patty, cheese, tomato, and pickles. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bkrisketwho3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-71131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bkrisketwho3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bkrisketwho3.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bkrisketwho3.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bkrisketwho3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The barbecue sauce seems to do most of the heavy lifting to bring BBQ brisket to mind rather than the actual meat. I mostly taste a Whopper with a different barbecue sauce than previous BBQ Whoppers, but that tangy, sweet, and smoky condiment makes this worth trying. So much so that I probably would have enjoyed this even without the brisket. But it&#8217;s not just the sauce that makes this taste great; the tomato&#8217;s acidity, the pickle&#8217;s sour kick, and the American cheese all complement the barbecue sauce. <\/p>\n<p>Another ingredient that gets lost is the crispy onions. They might not have been the best choice to include because the BBQ sauce made them sauce-logged, so there was no crispiness. Also, much like the brisket, their flavor isn&#8217;t noticeable. Instead, I wished it came with BK&#8217;s onion rings, which would have helped with the texture and taste.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bkrisketwho4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-71132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bkrisketwho4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bkrisketwho4.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bkrisketwho4.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bkrisketwho4.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I should also note that Burger King is offering a Whopper Jr. version of this, marking the first time the chain has rolled out a limited time Whopper in a smaller and more affordable size.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t regret trying Burger King&#8217;s BBQ Brisket Whopper, but if you&#8217;re going into this thinking brisket, you&#8217;re going to be as brisk-appointed as much as you&#8217;re disappointed with me for using the word &#8220;brisk-appointed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $10.19*<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 1010 calories, 65 grams of fat, 17 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 140 milligrams of cholesterol, 1810 milligrams of sodium, 70 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 19 grams of sugar, and 44 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here.
