Burger King’s Rib Sandwich is their latest introduction of new sandwiches to help bring new life to their stores. Over the past year, Burger King has done a good job of introducing new sandwiches that look interesting and seem like they would do well for them like the Wisconsin White Cheddar Whopper and the Philly Chicken Sandwich. Unfortunately, Burger King falls down when it comes to execution. Many of the stores still look old and tired.  They need to do more to get the quality up at the store level so we can enjoy the great offerings that they have worked so hard to create and promote.

The Burger King Rib Sandwich is trying to follow the McDonald’s success of only offering the McRib for a limited time each year. Burger King is trying the same philosophy to build buzz around its Rib Sandwich by only offering the Rib Sandwich on their Summer Menu. Simply just called “Rib Sandwich” there is very little originality in the name, concept or how it is being promoted.

To try the Rib Sandwich I went to the Burger King at 6780 North Durango Drive in Las Vegas Nevada 89149. I ordered my sandwich in drive thru. I went at lunchtime and the drive thru line was busy but service was fast and the person at the window was friendly. I was served a hot and fresh Rib Sandwich and fries. So far, I am having a very pleasant experience at this Burger King location.

Burger King’s Rib Sandwich

Even though I have had several bad experiences as of late at Burger King, I want this sandwich to be good. First, the sandwich looks smaller than I expected. However, when I check it for size against the McRib they are both about the same size by weight, 7.2 ounces for the Rib Sandwich vs. 7.3 ounces for the McRib. I guess the shape of the McRib must make it look bigger. The first plus for the Rib Sandwich is that the toasted artisan style bun is very good. The bun is soft and slightly sweet. Somewhat similar to the bun used at Arby’s for their new King’s Hawaiian Roast Beef & Swiss. The bun for the Rib Sandwich held together well and tasted fresh. The next plus is the tangy BBQ Sauce. The BBQ Sauce was very good and combined the sweet with tangy to provide good flavor to the Rib Sandwich. The crispy bread and butter pickles were also a great addition that added a little crispiness to this sandwich. I left the Boneless Rib Patty to last because it was ok, but not great considering the rest of the sandwich. The charring on the patty was a welcome addition and did add a good flavor to the patty. The only problem I had with the Rib Patty was its taste. As I said, it was ok but it tasted like the processed meat patties you get in those old school TV dinners. It tastes kind of like meat but you are not sure what kind of meat.

McDonald’s McRib

I am a fan of the McDonald’s McRib. Whenever the McRib comes back, I must have one. I like everything about the McRib, from the tart pickles to the slivered onions. I like the hoagie style bun, the BBQ Sauce that McDonald’s uses and of course, I like the Pork Patty. Everything in the McRib comes together to bring sweet, tart, texture and taste to life.

Summary

From a taste perspective, I say that the McDonald’s McRib wins out but only because of the Pork Patty. All the other ingredients on the Burger King Rib Sandwich are better tasting then the McDonald’s McRib. If you like the McRib, go ahead and try Burger King’s version. You may not have the same issue I had with the pork patty. Comparing Nutrition for these two sandwiches the McRib comes out slightly ahead. However, neither Rib Sandwich is very healthy. I would say that the McDonald’s McRib is in no danger of being dethroned by Burger King’s Rib Sandwich any time soon.
