I tasted Burger King’s new Quad Stacker – and the value is significantly better than the traditional cheeseburger

BURGER King’s four-patty burger is back and we have decided to give it a try to see how it stacks up compared to the other fast-food menu options.

In addition to the Quad Stacker, the fast-food chain has added double and triple varieties to the menu starting today nationwide.

The Quad Stacker was first introduced in 2006, but it was discontinued shortly after.

Each burger in the new lineup features American cheese, stacker sauce, bacon and a sesame bun.

Stacker sauce is said to be made out of mayonnaise, relish, mustard and ketchup.

On Thursday, we visited a local Burger King in Times Square, New York City, New York, and tasted four burger patties to see how it stacks up.

Here are our thoughts.

WHAT WE FIRST EXPECTED

First of all, we were anticipating the price to be quite high, considering the burger had four patties.

While prices vary by location, it costs $2.99 for a traditional cheeseburger – so we expected the price of the Quad Stacker to be at least north of $10.

Surprisingly, it was only $8.09 – so we'll take any win we can get in the era of high inflation.

That said, another thing we expected was for the Quad Stacker to be a lot bigger.

When we compared the Stacker to the traditional cheeseburger, it appeared to be layered on the same exact bun.

The calorie content was also much lower than expected at 810 calories.

THE REVIEW

After getting mixed vibes from our expectations, the taste test was relatively positive in our view.

The best way to sum it up was the ingredients are well balanced to maximize the flavor.

The cheese was nice and evenly melted between each patty and the taste of the sauce and bacon was on the sweeter side to take the burger to the next level.

The best comparison would be to Wendy’s Baconator sandwich, which features only two burger patties.

The biggest difference between the Quad Stacker and the Baconator is the burger quality.

The patties on the Baconator are a bit crispier and juicier in our view.

However, if you are a fan of Wendy’s popular sandwich, then you will likely have a favorable view of at least one of Burger King’s Stacker burgers.

But the price is certainly right on the Quad stacker.

Those who buy four traditional cheeseburgers will spend around $12 total – meaning you can save about $4 on the four-patty burger.

When considering price, taste and overall value, we rate the Quad Stacker an 8.1 out of 10.

At our local Burger King, the Double and the Triple Stacker were listed for $5.29 and $6.69 respectively.

But we recommend going with the Quad Stacker if you are craving four patties.
