Burger King is letting customers have it their way.<\/p>\n

After 15 long years, the beloved fast food chain is answering customers\u2019 prayers by bringing back a fan-favorite menu item \u2014 the crown nuggets. <\/p>\n

Beginning Tuesday, the on-theme bites will be offered on both the kids\u2019 and regular menus. <\/p>\n

For kiddos, the crispy fried goodness will come with a side of fries, apple juice, a 4-pack of Crayola crayons, a crown to color and a meal bag \u2014 while supplies last \u2014 thanks to the chain\u2019s recent partnership with Crayola.<\/p>\n

Adults who want to join in on the nugget fun can order either a $3.99 King Jr meal, beginning June 9, while supplies last, which includes a side and drink or just the 8-piece nuggets. <\/p>\n

Once this menu addition was announced, some BK customers couldn\u2019t help but share their excitement online, while others bashed the nuggets, claiming Burger King isn\u2019t following the same formula they did 15 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI miss them so much,\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 it\u2019s legit the current nugget formula in crown form. These are NOT the OG crown nuggets from 15 years ago,\u201d one disappointed customer quipped.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese were the best back in 2005, but I\u2019m afraid now they\u2019ll be the same shitty BK nuggies we currently have, just in the nostalgic shape,\u201d another chimed in, agreeing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as they taste like the original, I\u2019m elated,\u201d read a comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so back,\u201d chimed in someone else.<\/p>\n

And while one Reddit user had low expectations for the crown nuggets, \u201cWon\u2019t taste the same probably,\u201d another shot down the criticism, remaining hopeful, \u201cI bet they\u2019ll taste better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regardless of whether the nuggets are just as good as they were in 2011, it\u2019s safe to say 2026 has been a big year of change for BK.<\/p>\n

Several months back, the chain made changes to its Whopper for the first time in a decade.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

After listening to customer complaints, in February, Burger King announced its new burger would include a \u201cmore premium, better tasting bun\u201d and a box for the sandwich to be served in.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past several years, we\u2019ve focused on strengthening our operations and modernizing our restaurants to build a more consistent foundation across the system,\u201d Burger King US and Canada President Tom Curtis said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging that the Whopper is a menu staple for the fast food chain, Curtis pointed out that the brand didn\u2019t \u201cset out to reinvent it\u201d but instead \u201celevated it based on direct Guest feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t great timing for Burger King, as the chain\u2019s major competitor, McDonald\u2019s, debuted a new Big Arch burger right around the same time, leaving fast food fans torn.<\/p>\n
