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.

    This whataburger is the best one by far! The staff is so nice, and the manager Ryan is great! I had ordered my burger with no mayo, and when I received it, there was mayo on it. Ryan was very apologetic, and got it fixed ASAP.

    The experience here SUCKED!!! I live out of state and stopped for a simple chicken sandwich. I requested no mustard. They remade the sandwich and sent me out the door with a sandwich that had mustard on it. Now im headed home with no dinner. People here cant follow directions. Simple directions at that. Just dont even go here. They suck!!
