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.

- LRLenny RobinsonNov 9, 20251.0We waited in the drive through for 15 minutes and we finally drove away. When we were going past the drive up window someone was there.
- ALAlexs LyfeOct 25, 20252.0Less than satisfied. Entry: Tables weren't wiped down from previous diners, trash cans were overflowing and trays were stacked up. No tents at kiosk; so we made up our own number. We ordered burger combos with malts. We told Christina there were no order tents when we ordered but she assured us we would get our order. She was kind enough to get our malts but i noticed my DrPepper malt was runny.... Definitely not malt-like. The runniness of the malt was mentioned and shown to Christiana who responded with "thats how it comes out of the machine". Maybe, but looking at it you can see there must be a problem...maybe the temperature isnt cold enough but a malt shouldn't be runny. This looked more like a milk shake, not a malt. (Picture included) When our made up tent number was called out, i got up to get our meal which was in the process of being left at a different table. Luckily, our tray had just been set on the table and the other diners hadnt started eating our food. So much for getting our order... Finally got to the table and ready to eat... no ketchup and the burgers were not as ordered. No grilled onions on either burger, and no bacon on one. Fries were ok but not hot. The onion rings and the chocolate shake kinda saved one of the combos we ordered - which is why u earned 2 stars. To spend 30 bucks on lunch i expect at minimum, good service and hot food. We received neither. If we felt even the least bit taken care of, maybe a three star could have been squeezed out for this review, but not today. We will NOT RETURN.
- JMJorvy MammenOct 24, 20251.0Waited 20 minutes for 4 nuggets -part of the kids meal-that tasted like it was made at the Hardee’s that closed down on Atl Hwy- way over done and super hard- fries was bad- don’t have staff-? Don’t do drive thru - have someone wait for this long and eat this- can’t believe they wanted my kid to have this- Get a new manager that understands how fast foood drive thru works- whatanightmare is what it needs to be called!! Have fun waiting in line to all the guests waiting and waiting - food is yuck!!!
- CCCandice CantrellOct 23, 20254.0Everyone was friendly and helpful! They kept the tables and trash receptacles clean. Also, they had just brewed fresh tea, which was delicious 😋 My mom and I both had #2 meals; Their fries are my favorite! They now have coffee available (hot or iced), so that was the drink of my choice. It was filling. My daughter got the grilled cheese meal. Unfortunately, the bread was kinda burnt, so I ate it for her, but she enjoyed the fries, apple juice box, and graham crackers for her meal. The atmosphere was fine, music was kinda loud and could be turned down, but otherwise no other comments. I would like to thank the staff for their help. 😊 See you next time!
- RRROct 22, 20251.0This location never has anyone in the store to help you. Another thing I have noticed with this location is they like to close the lobby often to avoid helping customers, and to make it drive-through only. The management is poor at this location, and the food is often missing items.
