Burger King Hamburger
The Burger King Hamburger is a compact flame-grilled sandwich made with one beef patty, crunchy pickles, yellow mustard, and ketchup on a toasted sesame seed bun.
It is one of the simplest beef items on the Burger King US menu. Unlike the Cheeseburger, it does not include American cheese. It also leaves out the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and mayonnaise found on the Whopper Jr.
Current Burger King restaurant menus describe the Hamburger as a flame-grilled beef patty topped with pickles, yellow mustard, and ketchup on a toasted sesame seed bun. Burger King’s official U.S. newsroom also continues to list the Hamburger among its menu items.
