''At Burger King, the hamburgers are very
similar to McDonald’s,except they are
slightly smaller and contain less fat.'' Why '' similar to McDonald's'' is a falty comparison if 's indicates hamburgers of McDonald?

Except that the name of the company is "McDonald's", so it sould be McDonald's'. In order to avoid such messy writing, you could say "Similar to those at McDonald's".
