No, but I sure hope they don't close it. When we're down for the car shows that's where we always grab lunch cause there isn't a whole lot close to the inlet that's reasonable. We tried Boog Powells but didn't care for it at all. Hope it doesn't leave, but in this economy, who knows?

You know, that would be such a mistake to lose that one. Younger kids who go to the inlet for rides and games withe their parents are familiar with Burger King and know they can get something to eat there, whereas they aren't going to recognize Boog Powells or Thrashers or Dough Rollers when they want to eat. Same with teens. And not all families can afford to eat at the higher priced places all the time. That sucks if they aren't there anymore. Another mistake for OC. They just keep adding up.

on my 6 hr ride - I pass a lot of Burger Kings, between here and the beach (and to the best of my memory never stopped at one yet)... when I'm in OC I want to eat the local fare.
That's one business on the boards they could close & wouldn't bother me a bit. Matter of fact shutting down a national chain like that might actually help a locally run burger place like Hammerheads.

I read several months ago (Coastal Dispatch?) that the Burger King on the end of the BW was closing. It sounded like B King decided not to renew their lease on the building. Something new is going in there, but I don't recall what it is. I'll see if I can find the article.

I stopped there with the kids two summers ago (sorry terp, but sometimes, you just can't wait for service at a sit-down place with a 5 and 2 year-old) and I must say that it was one of the most digusting experiences I have had in OC. It was old, dirty, and had poor service, but it was air-conditioned, which was nice. I am glad to see it go, and I agree that it would be great to see something local go in there. Even something regional, like Five Guys. Bethany has a Five Guys, and they are the best burgers in the world.
When I visited OC just before Xmas, I noticed the Burger King on the Boardwalk was missing all of it's logos and the inside looked pretty torn up.
I was thinking that they were modernizing that particular BK, since it is probably the last Burger King in the country to still have the old logo.
Does anybody have the scoop on this?
