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.

- DADuncan Addison1 day ago4.0The burgers are very good and the fries were excellent. The service was fast and efficient. I would go back for more
- JHJeremey Henries5 days ago5.0Very good, first time at a what-a-burger. Really good fresh burgers, friendly staff came to check on myself and my wife while we were eating. We came during a lunch rush and they handled it well.
- DWDelbert WarnerMar 26, 20264.0I thought I'd check out this Whataburger to see what the hype is all about. The food was good, but nothing that special. The service was top notch. Other than that it was a typical busy fast food joint on a Sunday.
- BCBarry CMar 22, 20263.0We got a burger, two pieces of fried fish and coleslaw. The burger and coleslaw were quite nice. The fish was delicious. Would have been perfect if they had malt vinegar to go with the fish. Floors filthy. Customer service ok at best. Hope the new Whataburger on Center is better.
- TPThomara Powell-BrownMar 12, 20261.0Awful first experience — we will never go back. We waited about 15 minutes in the Whataburger drive-through for a small order: 3 milkshakes, 2 burgers, a 9-piece wing order, and 2 apple pies. When we finally got to the window, we were told they only had one apple pie available and it would be another 7 minutes for the second one. The fries were terrible. I’m not sure if they normally come without salt, but they were bland and honestly inedible. Unfortunately, when we got home we realized both burgers were wrong. I ordered a double jalapeño burger and a bacon cheeseburger, but we were given two plain original Whataburgers instead. The overall quality of the food was extremely disappointing. The apple pie had no flavor, and the wings (pictured) that cost $15.19 were very underwhelming. To make matters worse, the person at the drive-through told me the wings were “very good,” which made the experience even more disappointing once we tried them. The total for this order was $52.80, which is unacceptable for the quality and incorrect items we received. This was one of the worst fast-food experiences I’ve had. The quality and service at this Whataburger location were extremely disappointing. I would not recommend wasting your time or money here. I hope management sees this review and takes steps to improve the quality and accuracy of orders at this location.
