OK, I tried the sandwich this morning. I don't like it that much. The waffle bottom/top isn't particularly sweet, the bacon is a bit too salty, and the whole thing is lacking in flavor.
I much prefer the McGriddle from McD, and the Croissanwich from BK ("real" food is better than all fast food options, but that's a different matter). I had a caramel coffee afterward, which I've had before and is pretty good (not new, though).

If I order food from DD in the future, I'll stick with the flatbread sandwiches or the pizzas.

23 grams of fat, 200mg cholest (67%), 1000mg sodium (42%). Lacking in flavor?

And of course there's no DDs here.

You obviously have not had a McGriddle

McGriddle is crap. McMuffin is so much better.

Holla

Bacon and Egg McMuffin FTW.

this sandwich is fail simply because California has no Dunkin' Donuts, if it doesn't exist in California it doesn't matter.

A pattern I do not plan on breaking.
If I don't like syrup on my eggs and sausage when I'm just having a regular breakfast, why would it be any different in sandwich form?

i dotn like mc-anything but syrup with waffles/pancakes bacon/sausage is great. you suck!

It's the sweet + savory + salty combo. Which is why teriyaki beef jerky = awesomeness.

Krispy Kreme makes a much better donut. Dunkin Donuts are like heavy greasy concrete in comparison.

most of the KK's in my area are long gone. And they don't have a sandwich with bacon or sausage on it to my knowledge.

I tried it this morning and it was a let down :(

The McGriddle from McDonalds taste better IMO.

It wasn't very flavorful, was kind of dry and was pretty small also.

I think I'll stick with the bagel breakfast sandwiches.

That was pretty much my reaction, too.

Me too. KK is nasty, the smell when I drive by, ugh, makes me wanna puke. They also put 5 metric tons of glaze on their tiny POS donuts.

Darn. I was planning on trying one out tomorrow. I'll try and keep an open mind. :p
