The Krystal Big Burger is a new addition to the brand's menu that's being tested at 31 of its locations to provide diners with an alternative to its signature sliders. The burger, which is being temporarily referred to as the Big Burger, features a quarter-pound of 100% Angus beef patties along with two slices of American cheese, a tangy burger sauce and some crunchy pickle slices. Served on a potato bun, the burger offers a simple take on a classic that will provide diners with an alternative option to enjoy on their next visit.
The Krystal Big Burger is launching alongside a call to action for fans to encourage them to take to social media to help with giving the sandwich its official name ahead of a wider launch.
