Same chain. Each number is the median pickup price at the restaurants we priced in that state, not one city and not one till. About half of a chain’s price spread lives inside a single state, which is why this mode exists alongside City and Store.

A typical Whopper in North Carolina is $5.99; in California it is $7.89. Those are state medians across 217 restaurants and 459 restaurants, not two restaurants. Same chain, two state medians, pickup prices from Burger King's own ordering system.
This page is the state, not a city and not a store. North Carolina is the median across 217 priced restaurants; California is the median across 459. About half of a chain’s price spread lives inside one state, so a North Carolina-vs-California number is the middle of two wide ranges, not a promise about the restaurant on your corner.
City or Store mode is the right tool for a restaurant on your corner, or for whether Austin is cheaper than Dallas. This page answers the coarser argument people actually have: is North Carolina Burger King cheaper than California Burger King, typically?
North Carolina as of 26 September 2026 · California as of 26 September 2026

North Carolina listed 0 comparable items often enough to publish a state median that California did not. California listed 35 that North Carolina did not. Those stay off the state table rather than inventing a price for a state that barely sells them.
Common in California, not in the other state: Cheesy Bacon Tots, 4 Pc. Cheesy Bacon Tots, 8 Pc. Cheesy Bacon Tots, Small Plain Iced Coffee, Medium Plain Iced Coffee, Large Plain Iced Coffee, Large Minute Maid® Lemonade, and Medium Minute Maid® Lemonade.
Each price is the median pickup quote at the restaurants we priced in that state, not one city and not one store. Tax is not included. A gap of a few cents on one sandwich is noise; 240 overlapping items pointing the same way is a difference between the two states.
Compare a different pair of states with the picker at the top, or drop to City or Store mode when the argument is about a town or a specific Burger King, not the whole state. The price map colours every restaurant we have.
What this does not do yet. It does not match a Big Mac to a Whopper, and it does not hunt down the cheapest restaurant for a custom order. Those are next. This page is the state-grain question: two states, same chain, median overlapping menu, different typical prices.
