Burger King Prices in Houston vs New York

A typical Whopper in Houston is $5.99; in New York it is $6.99. Those are city medians (84 restaurants against 12 restaurants), not one store standing in for the skyline. Same chain, two city medians, pickup prices from Burger King's own ordering system.

This page is the city, not a restaurant. Houston’s figure is the median pickup price across 84 Burger King restaurants we priced; New York’s is the median across 12. One expensive airport location cannot drag either city, and one cheap store cannot pretend to be it.

Inside Houston a Whopper runs $5.99 to $5.99 at most of those restaurants (middle 80%). Inside New York it runs $3.99 to $8.29 at most of those restaurants (middle 80%). The city-to-city gap on that item is $1.00 on the medians, which is a statement about the two cities, not about a single till in either one. A spread inside one city is why a state average hides half the story.

Typical overlapping menu in these two cities

Only items that show up at enough restaurants in both cities to publish a median. Sorted by the city-to-city gap, not by either city’s menu board.

Common in only one of these cities

Houston’s restaurants listed 44 comparable items often enough to publish a city median that New York did not. New York listed 1 that Houston did not. Those stay off the city-to-city table, because a median for a city that barely sells the item would be a fake number.

Common in Houston, not in the other city: Barq's, Large Barq's Root Beer, Medium Barq's Root Beer, Small Barq's Root Beer, Value Barqs Root Beer, Large Powerade, Medium Powerade, and Powerade®.

Common in New York, not in the other city: Strawberry Shake.

How to read this

Each price is the median pickup quote at the restaurants we priced in that city, not one celebrity store and not a mean pulled by an airport. Tax is not included. A gap of a few cents on one sandwich is noise; 262 overlapping items pointing the same way is a difference between the two cities.
