Although discontinued nationally in the US, the Rodeo Cheeseburger can still be found regionally in some locations as part of Burger King's value menu. It is also available in parts of Europe and South America.

In 2007, BK switched its barbecue sauce from Bulls-Eye to Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue sauce.cite web |url=http://www.bk.com/Nutrition/PDFs/regional_menu.pdf |title=US Regional Menu Nutritional Brochure |author=BKC publication |publisher=Burger King Holdings |date=October 2007 |accessdate=2007-10-27 |format=PDF ]
