About

Fast Food RestaurantBurger JointChicken RestaurantBreakfast RestaurantTake Out RestaurantAmerican Restaurant

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.

We have been coming to this establishment for sometime. The food hot, and fresh. Staff is friendly, and clean. I read through some reviews at the places we visit and there is always gonna be an "off or sidway" review anywhere. I have worked fast food and retail and ppl are harsh on the reviews. This establishment is one of the best ones in Springfield and continues to be since we have tried all a few times. This location is friendly and personable. The lady that seems to be the general manager is present and laughing with crew and guest. We will continue to make this our location to visit. Thank you for the great food and hospitality.

We always look forward to Whataburger however our experience at this location was not what we expected. The kind lady took our order and was very helpful when we asked if there was anymore sweet tea. She was also friendly when delivering our food. Our food quality was the main issue. My wife and I look forward to the Monterey Melt when its on the menu and expect it to be perfect for the almost $14 meal price. Both meals were room temp at best. The presentation was even worse. We did not ask for replacements as it took nearly 20 minutes to get our food to begin with. We will continue to visit our normal location(Republic Mo)hopefully this one gets their act together.

The food here always takes an enormous amount of time to get and is given to you with foods at different temperatures. The service is poor at best. They have a rude window girl named Cherish. Seriously should consider her as a back of line worker and not customer facing. After requests I was met with her slamming the window. Her condescending tone was very off putting. She was training someone and it was very clear in her "well I'm training so hold on " that she was not enjoying doing it. She then accused me of trying to get a free drink because they had not given it to me and she didn't remember it being on the receipt. Hense the well I'm training so hold on. I was asked to dig around for MY receipt as she apparently could not see what she had given me. Which working in fast food I'm aware that's untrue. After asking to speak to her manager her tone became even more gruff with me. The manager was great. I will not be supporting this location in the future. I will be taking this to corporate and leaving reviews where necessary. Sucks that one person such as Cherish can ruin everyone's time.
