The burger value meal wars are heating up, and hamburger lovers are here for it.

Burger King is set to launch a $5 value meal after reports indicated that McDonald’s was releasing one of its own.

Fast food chains are trying to attract more customers to their branches with difficult-to-resist deals, after restaurant-goers were turned off by the soaring cost of dining out, even at casual dining establishments.

Burger King to accelerate their value meal promo

Wendy’s has already unveiled its $3 breakfast meals, and is offering its Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for only one cent in honor of National Hamburger Day from May 28 to June 2. This came in the wake of reports that McDonald’s was moving to launch a $5 meal to lure back clients after their higher-than-industry price increases resulted in lower sales for the first quarter of the year.

Burger King has thrown its crown into the ring and intends to get a jump on McDonald’s meal deal, and has announced it is bringing back their $5 Your Way Meal. According to a report by USA Today, BK will release their offer before McDonald’s does. The Golden Arches chain reportedly intends to launch their promo in late June.
