"I just want to take the time to say that I am a Loyal & Happy Customer with The Burger Den.Presentation, Food Quality, and Delivery have ALWAYS been SUPERIOR.My orders have ALWAYS been correct. If I had any complaints it would be that IN OCCASION when I order a Chicken Sandwich l can say that it has been fried in overly used oil, but I can overlook that because usually my orders are late night/ early morning, and I am a French fry fanatic, I would love more fries lol 😋 I absolutely LOVE that fact that my orders are always correct due to the fact that I do not in ANY WAY CONSUME MAYONNAISE in any way shape or form. I have NEVER had an issue with that when ordering from The Burger Den. Please keep up your EXCEPTIONAL pride in your business and your CUSTOMERS. Dion"

"Chicken nuggets are like the kind that you get from Burger King or the frozen food section of your local grocery store. From the picture of the nuggets, they looked as though they may have been 100% all white meat chicken nuggets. They were tough and rubbery. I'm not happy about this. Also, the Diet Coke that I received was caffeine free. I thought that it would be the regular Diet Coke with caffeine but it was not. I'm disappointed.
