Hamburger

Hamburger

The Hamburger costs $2.89 on its own (250 kcal), with combo prices from $6.77 to $7.97 depending on size.

This is BK’s most basic burger, a flame-grilled beef patty with pickles, yellow mustard, and ketchup on a sesame seed bun. No lettuce, no tomato, no mayo, just the core combination that’s stayed the same for decades.

It’s a good base if you want something quick and cheap, or you’d rather build your own order by adding toppings separately.

My Honest Take

At 250 kcal, this is about as light as a burger from BK gets, no cheese, no sauce beyond mustard and ketchup, nothing padding out the calorie count. The mustard is actually the standout here, most fast food burgers default to mayo, so the tangier flavor sets it apart from a typical single-patty burger elsewhere.

It’s a solid base if you want to build your own order, add cheese or bacon separately, or just want the cheapest way to get a hot flame-grilled patty without a lot of extras. Sodium (560mg) is also on the lower end compared to most of the specialty Whoppers covered elsewhere on this site.
