I have visited this Burger King on a few occasions and the customer service doesn’t seem improve. The shift leader that served me didn’t greet me at the till or really acknowledge me. Another colleague was just sat on the counter. Very unprofessional. Won’t be going here again.

It is frustrating when the cashiers and the duty manager tell you their computers at the till are not working and you should order from their paying stations yet the paying stations don’t accept cash and blue light cards! So you tell them so and miraculously the computers start working! We’re not stupid when we go to the counter to pay as it’s not a first time eating here. It’s so frustrating as I had a bunch of people with learning disabilities that I was supporting and the back and forth with Burger King staff triggered their behaviour and it was so frustrating! And ended up spoiling our afternoon.

Food good, chips fresh, place clean… but… I was concerned… 3 young lads… one appeared to be finishing an item from the menu… Quietly minding their own business, when a member of staff appeared to tell them she needed to sort the table. They left without a murmur. Someone else then sat there without food. Seemed as if waiting for bus or lift. There were plenty of free tables, although they were as usual prematurely stacked with the chairs discouraging people from using. Some seating on other side, but no one wants strangers breathing down their necks. I appreciate the need to clean, but suggest you leave half the tables without chairs stacked. People pay for food, it’s reasonable that they wish to eat it without being hovered over. It’s very irritating. I am older & I felt sorry for these very well behaved teens.

Cheap food that fills a gap better than Maccys. Bit slow service and not keen on toilets for customers being locked but it is what it is Good fries though and liked doing my own drink so I could forego ice

Lamentablemente, a pesar de que el servicio y la comida eran buenos, no regresaríamos hasta que haya pasado la pandemia. Nadie limpia las mesas. Nadie gestiona el sistema unidireccional. Mala señalización. Mesas sentadas que están fuera de uso, pero no hay personal para administrarlas.

Excelente comida. Muy caliente, las papas más sabrosas. Limpio, asientos cómodos, personal agradable. La ubicación es la parte antigua de la ciudad frente a los autobuses.

I’ve always enjoyed a very occasional burger here but won’t bother anymore, was late morning and only a handful of tables occupied, ordered a regular cheeseburger meal with cappuccino coffee. The burger was lukewarm, the bun very dry and tasteless, chips had a nasty fishy taste which I can only think was due to the quality of the oil. BK certainly need to improve their standards to compete with the many alternative options in Reading.

The best thing about Burger King is the app to get the food for half the price. Get the app burger probably not worth the actual price

I went in on a whim - I've not had a BK burger in years. Now I know why. The staff were unfriendly, the automated order system incomprehensible, the condiment area was covered in some form of plastic and the whole place looked scruffy. The food - almost inedible. I ordered some kind of stakeburger which seemed to be made up of crumbs of something and I couldn't taste meat of any description. You've only yourself to blame you may say - and you'd be right. Not going to repeat it. Simply awful.

I have to admit I did not directly choose to use Burger King. Rather on one of my infrequent visits to Reading Town Centre I wanted to get a burger from the mobile burger van at the corner of Hosier Street (highly recommended). Anyway it was shut, hopefully they are still in business. So as a distress purchase I went into nearby Burger King. Ordered a Whopper Meal from the annoying touch screen stations. Despite not being busy my order showed as "being prepared" for the best part of 15 minutes. I don't know if they are competing for the title of the world's slowest fast food restaurant but if they are they are in with a good shot at picking up the title. When it did arrive the food was abysmal. I would have taken it back but I needed to be somewhere else in a hurry. The chips were bland with no salt, now that may be a health thing but serving them stone cold is definitely not. Likewise the burger was barely lukewarm. Overall a horrible experience and I ended up throwing most of it away. If for some masochistic reason you are driven to purchase a meal from here then my advise is to skip the ordering screens and order from a human. Whilst I was there 3 or 4 obvious "old hands" did this and got there order far quicker than me

You can see that staff are making a big sacrifice in serving you. Only me and 2 more customers and it took ages. One lady show up asking for a refund because she was wainting for 15 minutes, apparently the guy forgot. Shameless! I feel disgusted the was people are treated! Never again!

Next to Broad Street Mall, so centrally located. The food is well known and personally I favour it over the Clown. Better chips and tastier burgers. This branch can get busy and feels cramped. It has toilets and reasonable disabled access.

I visited here for lunch on a busy weekday. The restaurant was doing a brisk trade but there was seating available which I took advantage of. The BK product is somewhat predictable, but generally of a good standard and this one was no exception.

Vine aquí para el almuerzo después de una media hora de viaje en tren de Virginia water a la lectura. Me encantó, y así lo hizo la familia. Mi hermano y yo conseguimos una doble hamburguesa de queso y tocino mi padre dieron una gran cama King size. Encontramos algunos cupones en el tren y nos ayudaron a pagar también. El personal era extremadamente amable, lo recomendaría y volvería.

Cuando salió finalmente la comida era horrible y las patatas fritas, la hamburguesa hamburguesa era un rollo de ciabatta de uno de hamburguesas!! promo He dicho que es normal que los bollos con la serie whoppers sirven?? El hombre dijo que se acabó!!! Me lo miraron y dijeron, así que poner cualquier pelea antigua de allí y no decirme!! Él simplemente se quedó con la boca abierta!! No siento no hay.

Yo estaba indignado por el comportamiento de un empleado llamado Wajid, era obvio que estaba bajo él para servir una mujer y me hizo esperar cuando había servido todos los hombres y no había nadie en la cola. Cuando finalmente me llaman él era brusco y desagradable. Me parece que si quieres Burger King a emplear a personas de fuera del Reino Unido, quien nuestros empleos para los jóvenes, entonces por favor por lo menos enseñar al personal de servicios al cliente. También me gustó que venden agua como extra que no estaba incluido con comida, pero él no nos molestamos en decir y, la verdad, no me quiere. El servicio es muy malo.

The staff seem either bored or about to cry. Cleanliness of the eating area leaves a lot to be desired - it seemed that the person cleaning was trying to save on cleaning solution: one spray onto one table was sufficient to do multiple tables.

I ate here not a hour ago, and I'm truly unimpressed! The service was slow, and the server struggled with basic English, I have no problem with a foreign work force but I'd rather they spoke English, the food was cold and didn't look anything like they do in the pictures! But that's expected with fast food!The price wasn't great but that's what you get for going to Burger king!

When we arrived, after a bit of looking around at the various menus and promotions around the store, we saw a tasty looking Aberdeen Angus burger choice, which we decided to get. However this was not on the main presented menu over the counter. And even when stating the exact name from the menu, the staff member didn't seem to understand what I meant. Even after saying exactly what we wanted, three times, the guy behind the counter still didn't understand what we were ordering as we weren't ordering "number one" off the menu. Easiest way to confuse any fast food outlet is to order what you want, not some option 1 off the menu.After we arrived, a few more people arrived, however when we arrived - just after school finishing time, there were no school kids in there. In fact the place was empty other than a couple of staff sweeping and mopping.My partner commented that the tables were not very clean, and my chair had split plastic on it, and that wasn't the only one either.My partner also noticed that a staff member was initially mopping the floor around the kitchen area, and then moved onto serving food after just a small wipe of her hands on a hand gel pump.The food was delivered to our table when it was cooked (microwaved?) and I enjoyed it as much as we could from a fast food franchise that is hugely overpriced, however my partner commented that her bun was stale. I must state that among fast food places, a certain golden arches give much more constant "quality", whereas BK can be more tasty, but sometimes not as good. If bacon is added, it should be able to be tasted,A little more TLC in this great town centre location would go a long way.

Been to this Burger King twice. Both times the burger buns didn't taste fresh. First time I had mozzarella sticks, which tasted dry and was chewy, like if they had been cooked once, got cold and then cooked again. Actually that's how all the food at this place tastes like. The employees seem very unmotivated. No one was happy. The place need to be redecorated. I hardly see any ppl there, which isn't a mystery. Worst Burger King I have been to. I usually like Burger King, but I am not going back to this Burger King. I would much rather go to mcD or KFC.

I just fancied a burger, well two, after a couple of pints and came across this fast food restaurant as I wandered around. It was a Wednesday night, about 9:30 and I was the only person in the place except the staff. I wasn't sure if this was a sign but I was hungry and just ordered. However, the food was piping hot and the place was clean.

The tall guy on blue shirt. No washing hands, no gloves, handles cash with the same hand and serves customers. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. On thing I don’t understand how much can a guy talk on there phones, the guy was middle age not like he was teenagers or early 20. Long time ago I went there, that time it was slim build guy with blue shirt, he ask for cash only, I gave him, he straight away put it in his pocket 😂😂. Honestly speaking food was alright, I think the oil was old, portion size is getting smaller and customer service is bad. I don’t think this place will get any better . I still remember I used to go this place there long time ago and it was good. Stop the flipping headphones and stop talking on phone when customer around. Stop eating on the counter. Next I see these guys I definitely make a complain to council for health and safety…

My wife got me cod and chips for my dinner, before I went off for my night shift. However the small portion that was broken in half to fit the big box, gave away that it wasn't cod. The fish flesh was light pink inside and definitely was not cod. Chips went cold very quickly and no flavour. Good job I have a big bag of sweets to take
