Burger King in Braintree - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stopped off here for lunch. I love Burger King usually but this place is something else. On entering the place is grubby with dirty floors, definitely not keeping on top of cleaning. We ordered from the self service screens and was going to eat in. As we approached the counter to wait there was an awful smell. My son and I went to the respective toilets. The stench of urine coming from the men’s was eye watering, my son’s description was they are absolutely grim. The ladies not much better. Very smelly and unclean. Dirty basins and hand dryers that do not work. When we came out we all made the decision not to eat in as we couldn’t get the awful smell out of our noses, so we went and ate in the car. The food was the usual from BK and actually alright, shame about the environment.

Filthy and toilets stink, worst services I’ve ever seen. Rubbish all over the floor and dirty tables. 10/10. Would go back again though for a laugh

The only way to order is on the screens now. Leaves a whole load of people milling around waiting for their order. Might as well do what McDonalds do and bring it to the table.

Our first ever stop at a Burger King. The young lady serving us was very friendly, smiley and welcoming. We sat down and saw that the floor was covered with rubbish, uneaten food and general mess. There was no soap in the ladies loo and the hand dryers didn't work. It was the same in the mens. It was a very unhygienic unsatisfactory experience. I pointed out the problems to the Manager Grant. He gave monosyllabic answers and after some persuading put more soap in the ladies. He seemed uninterested. It was after this that I discovered the same situation in the mens' loo. Is representative of how Burger King run their food business? A totally unsatisfactory experience.

What dirty filthy disgusting place. Couldn't belive they are allowed to serve food to the paying public. Wouldn't let a dog eat in that place. We walked out.

No staff to take orders and just two terminals making long queues just to order food. It's supposed to be fast food but its anything but

Great place for a takeaway! The time we went was towards the end of the day, but place was messy and tables not cleaned! Apart from that any standard Burger King! Nothing special. The new Fanta slushy was very nice! Reccomend a try

A well, placed restaurant after a long drive. Sadly, the tables were not clean regularly, and spillages were not deltwith, but i feel this is more of an issue for people using the restaurant. Clean up after yourselves.

Burger King burgers are great. The place itself was filthy, despite very few customers. The staff all looked miserable as hell.

Clean and presentable, grant and team are brilliant. From the friendly mechanic😁

Very unclean. Food was OK, but the table area and serving area were covered in surplus fries and bits of lettuce. Very grubby.

Not the best Burger King but needs must when you are on the motorway. Never have enough staff, and the staff always seem new. Food is always mediocre, and the restaurant shuts far too early. Overall only use if you absolutely need too.

Dirty Disgusting place, we felt like we were going to catch something in there. It's clear they simply don't clean at all. Going to report this to burger king head office.

Very dirty restaurant rubbish everywhere and floors were very dirty, toilets were dirty and tables not cleared or cleaned.

Prefer BK to the big yellow M. Food did not disappoint. Big let down was the restaurant was filthy food and crumbs over the floors bin overflowing and toilets grim.

Food is OK but whole place seems dirty and the toilets stink

Probably the worst service station I have ever been to. Mess everywhere. Toilets were disgusting, nappies over flowing into the floor. Stop elsewhere.

Disgusting, dirt everywhere got a bottle of Coke and left as wouldn’t eat from here it was so dirty. Toilets are gross 🤢

Average food and a long wait for fast food

Charlie was really helpful polite and efficient in processing a complicated order. Really nice guy and a credit to the restaurant..

Good food, came quickly, shame about the venue being so messy .

Toilets were out of order, not very clean or welcoming visually

We stopped here around 8pm on a bank holiday Friday. It was fairly busy when we arrived but died down quickly. Food was fine - standard. However, The seating area was a such a mess - food and litter all over the floors, sticky tables, a maze of chairs. It hadn’t been cleaned in hours. The toilets were even worse. I’m not squeamish but what i saw in the far right cubicle I can never unsee. It will haunt my dreams. Partner said the men’s was awful too. Surely this is a health violation

Road trip food, very average, lame service too

Toilet were not up to much. The hand dryer didn't work

Absolutely disgusting!!! Filthy toilets and floors. Bins full. Outside area full of litter.

I used to love burger king... food is now just tasteless garbage. Staff we OK but food just awful

Need to clean tables and floor .

Always happy smiling people who serve the food, fast efficient service, food hot and accurate with what's ordered, modern touch screen ordering system, large seating area provided, sizable car parking for families, conveniently connected Travel Lodge/Esso service station, highly recommended - PERFECT 🌞

We stop there on the way back from the Isle of white. We were hungry. Went in my two boys had a meal each. It come to £35 Very expensive I had four sausage roll from Greggs.£4.50 They were lovely. Happy staff clean tidy. It was ok. Burger king well chairs and tables with dirty. The floor was dirty. Went to the bathroom to wash my hands. It was disgusting. It smelt it needed washing the sinks had urine and it's not body fluids in absolutely disgusting. Looks like a dirty drive for it. Been in there and shaved in the mirror and left it all in the sink. Won't go back again. I'll give it a 2 out of 10,

Chips were cold, burger was warm. Not the best

I would recommend take away rather than eat in based on how it looked today, and more so, how it smelt it certain areas. It wasn't busy so I don't know who the responsibility is. it is was filthy in the seating areas and I could smell the toilets far before I walked through the door to them.

Stopped as daughters needed the toilet but looked clean and busy

Staff are brilliant and really helpful. Food was hot and very tasty. Knocks spots off of mcdonalds

You can get cheeseburger meal £5odd in there it's usually 8odd everywhere gets the 👍from me

Food was fresh and hot and nice

This is a very run down/ probably well used location but no one cleans up by the looks of it. Wouldn't bother stopping there again unless I really, really had too. I would feel embarrassed to work there.

Just filthy looking and puts you right off even thinking of eating...if the toilets are anything to go by then I really question the hygiene standards.

This is restaurant is very clean and nice

Pulled in for a pit stop had the hamburger chips n drink for a fiver burger was small but very tasty and the chezzy chips was good for a fiver how can you go wrong when if you have a whopper it's that on its own

It's ok to have a break here. Not best...

Unlike MacDonalds, all our food was hot, tasty & filling.

Only place there I could eat as they do not use RAPESEED OIL

A filthy dirty restaurant with staff who stood around chatting whilst tables and floor were covered in packaging and food. No toilets as flooded. Needs a visit from head office.

Only stopped to use the loo!! Which was very clean .

very disappointing visit. The restaurant was really dirty and the service was substandard. We won't be going back.

Food was usual quality for a Burger King but the restaurant and toilet was very dirty …disappointing.

Terrible place, tables all dirty, floor dirty, tables and chairs all in a mess, no serviettes...never stopping there again.

Wrong order given, absolutely filthy and food and hygiene need to visit this establishment urgently!! Food on floor not one area clean. No gloves being worn or washing of hands after touch frozen burgers! Disgusting place and shouldn’t be allowed to be open and serving the public!

Just poor from the moment you walk through the door .... customer service awful .... discourteous, disinterested staff; very slow service; toilets and a positive health hazard and is the general lack of cleanliness...... and the only exit door only opens inward, which i pretty sure is a fire safety breach. Without a doubt the worst BK experience I've ever had ..... BK really need to make a spot visit .... as should the HSE, the hygiene is that poor!!!

The food was nice(maybe a touch salty, could be personal preference though) and the service was friendly and speedy.

young girl who serve customers on Sunday morning was rude.

Nice little place,and Greg's attached

Slow service. Dirty tables. There's a poster saying they give a toy with junior meal but they didn't have any. Dirty toilets, only disabled available, females broken.

Pulled off A12 ,middle of a serious downpour. Cappuccino hit the spot. The whopper burger was substantial with fresh salad & really tasty. The restaurant is adjacent to a petrol station & co shares it's site with a Greggs , so there are options but for the long haul BK is a winner. Staff are keen, friendly. Late afternoon,it wasn't busy, but it's clean - practical.Good parking , so you can chillax for a bit. I thought price was high, but it is a man sized portion. Good quality beef too. Ideal for families with kids needing a good meal.

Burger king menu very good food but the service area seating dirty and the toilets very dirty and unhygienic

Only stopped for a toilet break and the toilets were disgusting, only one was working and the whole area was filthy

Dirty and unkept. Filthy car park, far too many deep potholes. Considering the profit these places must make, try reinvesting a bit in the infrastructure

Good place to stop for a quick snack it does have Greg's as well

I've put this rating as I didn't call in burger King the toilets where disgusting that's all I stopped for was a wee

Slow 🐌 Food: It was cold and uncooked. 🐔 chicken burger made of "pasta meat" : horrible 🍟 fries a joke!

Went into Greg's for a coffee,just a quick pitstop...... Hampshire to Suffolk!!

Customer service was poor and food was not very nice

I have been to lots of Burger Kings all over the country and this one is far the worst I have been to. The staff are arguing with each other. They always let you stand there for 10-15 mins before being served. The food is really bad too. I will not eat here again.

Food is what it is but service was worst ever. Had three people working and made one order at a time which took ages and I'm sure I could have made the meals myself quicker, which the burgers are already pre-made so not sure what took 20min wait. And the cost is stupid now days.

After using the toilets, (which where filthiest I've seen in a while) there no change I'd buy any food. 🤢

Very friendly staff with good clean facilities and fast service!

If coming from London/Chelmsford way this is the first service station alongside the A12. I would recommend take away rather than eat in based on how it looked today, and more so, how it smelt it certain areas. It wasn't busy so I don't know who the responsibility lies with as Burger King and Greggs are both housed in the same building under the EG group brand but it is was filthy in the seating areas and I could smell the toilets far before I walked through the door to them. The smell was emanating out towards the Greggs which put me off buying anything from there due to the pungent smell of urine. The positives were the staff were pleasant, the food was prepared well and tasted nice but the environment was horrible.

Parking is limited as the varpark is very small

Lovely burger. Filthy tables, table legs, and floor. Young serve staff, no adults managing them. The two men working ceaselessly in the kitchen, the three serve staff having a great time chatting with the Greggs staff.

Being a fast food doesn't mean you don't have to clean bathrooms and tables :)

Generic roadside Burger King. Nothing special. It was 8pm and most of the indoor seating was closed.

overall good and good that the greggs and burger king are joint but your toilets are so smelly enough to put someone off going

Used these services when it used to be a Little Chef years back, and would love it converted back, now it's just a run of the mill services where pasties, burgers and pies are there for you to chomp on, clean toilets and restaurant area, has zero atmosphere so if you enjoy this there is uncomfortable chairs and tables to sit at for you.

,,Atom" lepukkant és a környezete is.

Place is FILTHY … food everywhere doesn’t look like it been cleaned in ages , staff not that friendly was more interesting in all having a laugh out the back..

I went in and saw a huge quee to use the ordering screens, so walked straight up to the counter and get served immediately. The food was as good as any burger king, so nothing really special. Just some sustenance for a long journey.

We came here to get breakfast from Greggs on our way to a Rock n Roll weekend. The service was good and the food we had was tasty!

Usual fantastic food but seriously bad atmosphere. Like they were doing you a favour by being there. But altogether a beautiful meal.

Good stop off. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was hot and quick.

Staff were friendly the restaurant is just very dirty and the food is much worse compared to other restaurants

Actually, it's a joint Burger King / Greggs, we used the Greggs. Great food, AMAZING flat white coffee, plus it's inside the petrol garage car park, so everything you need all in one place! Highly recommended +++++

There is a terrible smell throughout the building. Everywhere Customer service is hopeless. Rubbish all around. The food is terrible.

The toilets can be smelt throughout the building. The people cooking need to be reminded that the customers can see them picking stuff out of the chips.

The food made kids and I feel sick. Shocking 🤯. How Can you you get cheese chips so wrong. Loaded fries with cheese was gross like someone had comited yellow sick on chips. Manager was lovely she needs a proper promotion as the stuff she had to put up with from customers and staff .. Great service regardless of food.

Had gregs coffee on way up to Ipswich track, staff from burger King and gregs really help full toilets where clean and a nice chilled refreshing break , excellent late

The most disgusting toilets, ladies and gents we have ever seen. Was going to eat but decided to just have a coffee. Considering 2 food outlets here I would have expected someone to do something. Definitely won't stop again.

Not great. The toilets were absolutely disgusting and smelt terrible. Food took an age despite being empty and was only luke warm. Personally I would avoid and wait until Ipswich for a better toilet and culneraly experience.

Too small for it's own good. A very busy services with a greggs and a burger king sharing a very limited seated area. Good place for a pit stop but but if a delay in service and finding seats.

Service was slow, and I found a chicken nugget in my chilli cheese bites. Would not recommend.

We were the only people there and waited far too long for our meal. Also expensive. The burgers were nice though.

After travelling for almost 3 hours, we stopped here, hoping for a coffee and toilet break. This place is disgusting, rubbish everywhere, and most of it blocked off by chairs. The whole place smelled of pee. We had to use the baby change in the disabled but before we could use it we had to wipe it down first. We won't be using these services again. We never stayed to get a coffee.

We didn't eat here. The restaurant was filthy. Rubbish everywhere. Sticky tables. The Burger King staff were arguing with the Greggs staff. Toilets were filthy and smelt of puke. Decided to buy some bottled water as was safest option and leave.

Stopped there for a coffee, a flat white. It was disgusting. I may as well have got a Costa coffee at the garage next door.

Food was cold, burger tasted a day old and cold, bun tasted musty as if stored incorrectly, onion tasted of cleaner. We both binned half our meal as it was horrible. Do not eat here.

Ordering stations didnt work. No soft drinks. No chicken nuggets unless bought as a meal?? Could only pay cash. Rubbish and unapologetic staff.

The location is absolutely awful, food ok but the site leaves a lot to be desired.

Popped in on the off chance it was open, and it was. Served by 2 chaps who couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Food was cooked to order and was the better for it.The journey here is a 28 mile round trip, but that is favourable to the inaccessible Chelmsford store that is run by teens and incompetence. Well worth the drive and the fuel. Happened to be passing so popped in for a quick bite. Service is not as good and food has got worse for it. Burger buns were very dry and stale, chilli cheese bites not very hot and a bit claggy and no salt on the chips. More than a little disappointed it must be said. Still, it's better than the Chelmsford store, which surely cannot plummet any further into levels of crapness, how it's still trading is a mystery to me.

Ordered double whopper and received two buns and two cutlets only. Staff explained that any other ingredients(cheese, salad) should be ordered separately which makes no sense. Ordered double cheeseburger with bacon and received no cheese and no bacon. Great disappointment

No atmosphere as it was almost empty. Service was ok but staff could do with some smile training. Tables and chairs etc. nice and clean but floors a mess. Possibly worst I've ever seen in a Buger King. Food very good as usual. Not great services on the A12 but we know from regular journeys that this is 57 miles from home and a good place to stop.
