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.
Customers frequently reported long wait times, especially in the drive-thru, with some waiting over 30 minutes for their orders.

Es el peor lugar para ir a ordenar, llevo 1 hora esperando mi orden y nada que me la dan, no sé porque son así, esto es imperdonable creo que en otras restaurantes de comida rápida, brindan mejor servicio.

I’ve never had a worse experience at a fast food restaurant, we ordered and paid for our food and was asked to pull forward waited 11 minutes and a lady came and asked us what we had ordered because they lost track of our order, I gave her our receipt and waited another 10 minutes before going in to find out they still needed to drop the chicken and wait 7 minutes to cook. I finally just asked for a refund as they offered no other resolution for their mistake giving our food to someone else and forgetting about us. The managers name was Kate at store number 1042

Food is amazing. The wait times are crazy. Ive payed and been waiting for my food in the drive-through for 35 min.
They are clearing the orders from their drive through system when the wait is long. In sure this is to pad their drive through times with corporate

I love Whataburger—it’s truly one of the best reasons I enjoy living here, and the food is always worth the stop. The staff at this location have consistently been polite, professional, and friendly, which I really appreciate. Well, I had to update from 4 stars to one, I get back to my office annd the tea is unsweet with absolutely no ice.. Unfortunately, the morning drive-thru service has been quite slow during my recent visits. I’ve had to leave without ordering before, and I had to leave again today—I can’t sit in the drive-thru all morning. I completely understand that mornings can be busy, and I don’t fault the employees at all—they’ve always handled things professionally. I’m hopeful this is something that can improve over time because I really enjoy coming here and would love to make this location part of my regular routine again.
