In fact, I loved it so much that I decided to take one home for my husband, just in case he didn't approve of his New! Fresh! Angus Burger! Which he didn't. And damn if when I got home and watched with envious eyes as Justin unpacked his salad that there was not one, but two packages of croutons in the bag. Only, they weren't called croutons, but Parmesan toast. Personally, I would have called them Parkman Toast Chips, but that's just me. So I stole a bag from my husband's stash and ate them just on principle.
Overall my BK salad experience was a pleasurable one, if you are judging on taste alone. On the service end, they fail miserably. I mean, I'm not expecting white glove service, but I do expect that the people taking my order will be able to converse with me and won't smell like dead people.
The atmosphere gets an ok rating. Though my children have long passed the age of jumping into ball pits, and even though I find children who like to bang on windows in an effort to disturb me to be annoying little pissants, the presence of those play areas help me learn to appreciate that I no longer have to chase my kids through human-sized hamster tunnels when it's time to go home. I could have done without the sub zero temps, though.
Final say? Let Burger King toss your salad.

It's a damned shame Michele Catalano stopped writing for the site. Her restaurant review was so damned funny it was worth money....
Hmmmm....
If the cashiers at a Long Island BK stink like a locker room and refuse to talk English, I wonder about the Burger King in the St. Paul suburb that I used to manage.... It's been over six years, hey. America sure has gone down the tubes.
FLUSH!!!

Wow YOU are quite a snob despite mentioned earlier. I got halfway through this crap and realized this has nothing to do with salad more than it does with you explaining that your a snob.
Good job.

Burger King salad? I guess they are better than your average salad bar--so self-serving.

Good review, but the Cashier thing was something you should have of left out. But good review overall.
