The Burger King at 3627 Columbia Pike is currently one of few Burger King restaurants in the United States offering an experimental delivery service.
The Columbia Pike Burger King is offering delivery between 11:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. seven days a week, for a $2 delivery charge. The minimum order is $10 and tip is not included in the delivery charge. Customers in a limited delivery area around the restaurant can order burgers, fries, bottled drinks and other lunch/dinner items via a new “BK Delivers” website or by calling 855-OrderBk (855-673-3725).
Burger King has told national news outlets that it’s planning to expand the delivery trial to 16 U.S. locations by next week. The company’s delivery experiment is currently limited to restaurants in the D.C. area and a “Whopper Bar” concept restaurant in Miami Beach.
Burger King says the delivery service is being made possible by a “proprietary thermal packaging technology” the company has developed, which allows burgers to be delivered hot and fresh and fries to remain hot and crispy.
A sign outside the Columbia Pike Burger King indicates that the restaurant is still hiring delivery drivers.

BK should open some food trucks.
Gross.
Just as long as it’s not delivered by “The King.”
REALLY
Take that back. The King is a Legend.

The delivery fee and tip defeat the purpose of fast food? FREDTERP
Just curious: Why do you use all caps for your screen name? And why do you sign your screen name after every comment? Your screen name appears before your comment, so it’s kind of baffling.
I agree with FREDTERP. Fast food was invented to be cheap and fast. Not convenient. Not nutritional. I have no doubt folks will utilize the service, but I’d rather cook a burger on the grill at home first if I’m just sitting around. OVERGROWN BUSH
What if it’s delivered quickly? I’m not following how delivering and tips defeat the purpose of fast food. DANIEL
An increasingly rare FREDTERP sighting. Experts speculate that climate change and human settlement are squeezing the FREDTERP habitat. County board members will shortly take up a measure to designate Donaldson Run valley as a FERDTERP reserve, where FREDTERP will be free to live and, hopefully, multiply.
Tip is not included, South Arlington.
When I lived in Manhattan back in the ’90s, McDonalds started a delivery service. Your call went to a centralized call center and they forwarded the order to the McD’s nearest your address. I wonder how long that service lasted.
I see McDs delivery often overseas.
You are right Chuck. Most western fast food places delivery in the majority of overseas big cities. KFC, Taco Bill and Pizza Hut (owned by Pepsi) seem to have the biggest footprint overseas.
KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut are no longer owned by Pepsi. They were spun out years ago and are now under a parent called YUM! Brands. I kid you not. Stock ticker YUM.
Hey way was my post deleted about this only working if they stay open until 4 am for the drunk crowd?
correction, “why”
When I hear various politicians express concern about affordable housing disappearing along Columbia Pike, I wonder, why are there so many fast food joints and used car dealers and such taking up what should be valuable property that could be housing? If there was a street car, there wouldn’t be a Burger King that can’t get enough people to drive to it, so they need to send cars out to deliver their awful greasy food, clogging arteries of all kinds.
You under estimate the laziness of some…
or how high some people get
Just ordered 50 triple stackers and a diet coke!
god bless Form Based Code. it is saving Columbia Pike.
Splendid! Now I can sit on my a**, eat fast food, and get hugely fat. I don’t even have to walk to the restaurant anymore.
+1
Isn’t that true of ANY restaurant that delivers? Or if you drive to the restaurant?
Yes, but fast food puts on the pounds faster than something healthy. Too bad BK doesn’t deliver beer too.
I’m pretty sure the greasy pizza is just as bad as at the burgers.
Exactly. Maybe 2% of restaurants that deliver would fall under the category of “healthy.”
LOL!

I was stopped behind one of these delivery drivers yesterday at the Pike and Glebe at lunch hour, BK sign on the roof and all, and thought, They deliver? Back at work my coworker sent me the WaPo article and crowed about how fat he’s going to make himself now
why is that the pizza places required special use permits for delivery
but Giant, Burger King and the corner chinese place don’t?
Y’all, I gotta tell you about this WONDERFUL new Burger King delivery. If you ask, y’all can get yourselves a Whopper slathered in butter, Velveeta, and sour cream, then frozen, and then dipped in batter and fried in bacon grease.
The BK on Backlick Rd in Springfield has been delivering for months now. Why does the one on Columbia Pike get all the hype?
