The world seemed like a better place when the biggest fast food chains were battling for the title of Top Dog. The McDonalds, Burger King and Taco Bell feud was at an all time high, but now, there are clear winners in the fight. Today we’re here to enlighten you on the cities with the most Taco Bell restaurants in the United States.

Before smartphones consumed an entire generation and screens took over society, you actually got to order your food from a real person. The inside of fast food chains were differentiated by the color schemes and decor used to sell the experience. You weren’t just buying tacos and a quesadilla, you were experiencing it.

Somewhere along the line all of the fast food chains seemed to morph together. The inside of restaurants started to feature a couple of grey tables and kiosks to order your food. You see some other chains like Burger King begin to die out and fade away. Was it because of the lack of quality service? We're not sure. Taco Bell adapted and changed, whether we like it or not, and started to come to the realization that Drive-Thru and express service was the golden charm.

The 10 Best Burger King Stores In Tampa Bay: Ranked

Burger King in 2023 just hits different than it did in the 90s and 2000s. Like many fast food chains today, you’re greeted by an automated kiosk and modern seating that's capable of crushing dreams. We still love the food at Burger King, so we decided to rank the best Tampa Bay Burger King stores based on customer reviews. This is what we found.

Anything seemed possible back when the “McDonalds VS. Burger King” showdown was in its peak form. If you grew up in the 90s and 00s, this fast food chain was off the charts. Sure, there was the everlasting scent of stank feet, but between the play places, Surge, and new menu items, you could truly ‘Have It Your Way’.  

Burger King isn't as popular as it once was, but if you’re looking to pick up one of those steamy burgers on sesame buns, thick cut fries, and an ice cold Surge, you’re in luck. There are exactly 20 locations left in the Tampa Bay area. The newly remodeled dining areas don’t bear a resemblance to the nostalgic feeling of the classic BK, but the food remains great.

How we determined the Tampa Burger King rankings:

We headed on over to https://www.bk.com/store-locator and typed in Tampa Bay. We wanted the search to include all of the locations within the Tampa Bay area. Next, we researched the amount of Google reviews each location had, their rating and looked into what people were saying. 

Remember, these are not our reviews, we took into account what real people were saying about these locations to give you an accurate look into your local BKs. Keep in mind that people love to complain so we’re taking the reviews with a grain of salt.

Here is our list of the 10 best Burger King stores in Tampa Bay.
