Available for a limited time, the new burger features two flame-grilled beef patties, American cheese, fried onions, and a "creamy cheesy sauce" on a toasted hoagie-style bun. The chain offered something similar but with a long chicken patty in the past.

Like previous limited-time variations on the Extra Long Cheeseburger, the Extra Long Philly Cheeseburger has been added to the chain's 2 for $5 Mix & Match deal

I will go buy one of those plain, no cheese, with lettuce, tomato, onion, and friend onions in a heartbeat.

Welp, that escalated quickly

Nnnnnah.

Who was the brainchild that decided to try swapping out the chicken sandwich's patty out with burger meat? Deserves a medal.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Why does that look good tho

 

[PR_rambo]

An affront to Cheesteak connoisseurs everywhere.

 

[johnny_park]

They use the whopper jr patties...so basically it has very little meat.

 

[Dereck]

That actually looks fine, fine enough for me to try it.

Or a prison sentence

 

[kess]

Wat the unfresh hell

 

[WickedCobra03]

Are these extra long burgers a thing? Like are they actually popular with the kids? I have not been to a burger king in like 5 years, and I just had an old fashioned whopper.

 

[the_batman]

that is stupid. it's just a really long burger.

 

[Premium Quality]

I'll pass. Just looking at the pic I get an "It's ok"-vibe. Which isn't bad, but not good either.

 

[natsuyasumi]

that is stupid. it's just a really long burger.

Yes but it has proprietary cheese liquid. Get hype

 

[RangersFan]

It's Burger King...hard pass...

 

[Moonlight]

Already know how this is gonna go down:

10% Done: "Hey, this is pretty good."
30% Done: "Hmm, this isn't going down great."
50% Done: "i think i've made a mistake"
55% Done: "i've made a huge mistake"
70% Done: "this is the worst mistake I've ever made"
80% Done: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
100% Done: "maybe I'll order this again later"

 

[XiaNaphryz]

It's actually just two burger patties side-by-side.

 

[Undefined]

The article didnt seem to mention at which Burger King Locations? Is it only in the US, or does Canada have this too?

 

[jiggle]

Does it have the girth to go with the long meat?

Not their first go round with the idea. They've offered extra long Cheeseburgers, and BBQ Burgers.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Sooo what exactly is Philly about this?

 

[Big Blue]

The nutritional facts aren't as bad I thought they would be.

 

[zsswimmer]

Does it have to girth to go with the long meat?

Hey its not the size of the sandwich it's how well it penetrates your oral cavity

 

[- J - D -]

that is stupid. it's just a really long burger.

It's not stupid. They are secretly appealing to our latent feelings of inadequacy.

 

[bigosc2k]

Sooo what exactly is Philly about this?

It will disappoint you like the Philly sports team.

 

[norm9]

BK's long Chicken sandwiches are better than McD's crummy round chicken sandwiches.

 

[Dennis]

Only 520 calories? Must be tiny.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Sooo what exactly is Philly about this?

It thinks Sam Bradford is an NFL QB.

 

[Tom Nook]

 

[BigAT]

Sooo what exactly is Philly about this?

The burger shouts racial slurs at you.

 

[Goro Majima]

Sooo what exactly is Philly about this?

You get batteries thrown at you at the counter when you order it

 

[Kusagari]

Do people seriously buy these extra long burgers? Never seen anyone eating them

 

[Bread]

Sooo what exactly is Philly about this?

You're right, this burger needs to generate much more shame before it can be compared to Philly.

 

[Liquidsnake]

1020mg sodium?
My god.

Why does it have to be so much|?

 

[jello44]

Sooo what exactly is Philly about this?

Everyone calls it a "Philly" because they are plebs.

It will suck anyway.

 

[rpmurphy]

Philly residents please affirm if this Philly cheeseburger is truly "Extra Long"

 

[Surface of Me]

I tried an "extra long" cheeseburger once from BK. It's basically like someone took apart a McDouble and put the patties side by side, on a bun that is too large for them. Would not reccomend.

 

[Your Entertainer]

Looks like too much bun to meat ratio

No thanks

 

[Robdraggoo]

Chedder? On a phili.

No thanks. If i want a phoney phili ill go to subway thank you very much

Yeah, I had the extra long BBQ cheeseburger, and it was basically like eating two rodeo burgers, only more expensive. Rodeo burgers are $1, and it was $2.70.

 

[ReAxion]

when a cheesesteak goes wrong, it's really bad. i'd try a free sample tho.

 

[Freshmaker]

It doesn't use a long beef patty. It uses two small beef patties. It's a glorified jr double cheeseburger.

 

[mackattk]

If you guys don't know the magic that is the coupon on the back of the receipt, get on it. Best deal in fast food hands down.

I splurged the extra 40 cents on cheese, otherwise it would have been something like $2.83 after tax.

 

[Poodlestrike]

These things have too much bread. At least the extra-long cheeseburger they've got now does.

 

[SeanC]

Philly Cheeseburger?

Is Philly known for their cheeseburgers? Cheesesteaks absolutely, but what is a Philly Cheeseburger? Is it made of white bread and tears of Eagles fans?

 

[Phu]

I might actually try this if I get the chance [probably not going out specifically for this].
