Since 1950, Whataburger has proudly served a bigger, better burger. It all started when a young entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson had a bold idea: to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold, and so good that after a single bite customers couldn't help but exclaim, “What a burger!” He named his humble burger stand in Corpus Christi, Texas, “Whataburger.” Over six decades later, we're still family owned and operated. Each and every Whataburger® is still made to order. We still use 100% pure beef and serve it on a big, toasted five-inch bun. And now, as we proudly serve burgers, chicken, salads and breakfast at more than 800 Whataburger locations across the country, that first burger stand is still close to our hearts.

- GFGiermo FlandopolisFeb 20, 20265.0This was the most amazing whataburger experience I’ve ever had! I went through the drive-through, ordered my shake, and the lady who Took my order was so kind! Her name was Lily, and some of the other people were David, Hayden, zoriyah, Trayveon, Grady, and Callie. All of them were so kind to me, and I will surely return soon!
- DCDeborah CappsFeb 10, 20265.0We stopped here every time we travel south of Nashville TN. It is always clean and food fully meets all expectations of my favorite fastfood chain. The Athens, AL location has great staff - always friendly and thoughtful. Shout-out to Carli who greeted us and took our food order. A minute or so after I ordered the grilled chicken meal, she came to tell me they were cooking my chicken fresh. Our order would be ready in about 7 minutes. I appreciated the update. She also quickly replaced the rootbeer canister for me, though I know she and the rest of the staff were busy. Food came out in about 5 minutes. Our entire order was fresh and hot, made just the way we requested. Shout-out to the kitchen for timing everything perfectly!
