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.

    Understaffed, very slow especially the late night breakfast. Consistently waited over 30 minutes on multiple occasions. Will be taking my Whataburger business across town.

    We came in at 5am, very late and had 3 separate orders. The woman taking our order did not mind one bit, and was open to giving suggestions to our orders and even saved us money on some of them. She recommended incredible food and drinks with impeccable service. Made my entire week. Do not sleep on this Whataburger it is incredible!!

    Absolutely amazing service! The lady at the window who i assume to be the manger was the best. It was a 5am order and she did the best costumer service i’ve ever received especially being this late at night!

    I tell you I don't understand why these people are so mad. I'm not sure if the owners treat them bad, or if they just hate their lives. The food is really good but every time you go in unless certain people there the customer service is absolutely terrible. It seems like they're mad every time I come in to order, I won't Go back that's for sure.

    Went in on halloween night. Ordered two of the whataburger combo with cheese. Got sweet tea for myself, Dr. Pepper for my girl. Carried it home. When we sat to eat, my fries were so stale I swore they had been sitting up there longer than need be. I tried my burger. It too was cold. The meal was not up to par. My girl said it was embarrassing with her being a native Texan. If this is the best you can offer, then I wont be back. I will give you that being short staffed could have been an issue.
