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.

- CMChase Mcintosh6 days ago4.0Fries were hot and well salted, love the gram crackers and milk with the kids meal. Chocolate shake was not what I'm used to but still good, just different. Good size portion on sauces for chicken bites.
- APAllen PratherNov 12, 20253.0Pass. If larger flavorless burgers are what you're into, then this is the place. Similar to Rush's, flat-top grilled and if you want flavor you'll need to add items like, bacon, grilled onions, etc. The fries were a good size, but a thicker crust than I prefer. Rush's is actually better here. They also have the kind of sweet tea where it's all sweet, but no tea. Overall just mediocre food. I dropped in on a Saturday afternoon and I can say the service was fine, not exceptional.
- CEChuck EvansNov 9, 20251.0After yesterday I will take my business elsewhere. Ordered online and waited 20 minutes past when the order was supposed to be ready. It was one combo meal. Employees very obviously don't care. They don't acknowledge guests when they walk in. Whataburger?? What a waste!!
- JGJanice GarrettNov 8, 20254.0Food probably would’ve been better if it wasn’t cold/ lukewarm. Long wait time. Came here on a late Friday night around 10pm. There was only one person waiting to place an order in front of me. After I placed my order, the line grew by about 3-4 people. The person who order after me order the same meal I order plus extras but somehow got their food first. I kept getting told my food is “about to come out” or it’s “right here” but the employee kept going back and forth. After having already waited like 20 mins. By the time I got my food it was lukewarm but I needed to get on the road.
- TLTerri LeeNov 3, 20252.0There is entirely too much playing at the first counter. Appeared to be employees who were not on the clock and possibly former employees more interested in chatting, then servicing customers. Only about 3 folks that were dining in, yet over 6 tables were all dirty and food on floor. This resulted in the 1st of many trips back to the counter to notify management. 2nd notification to management was the leaking liquid from a trash bag that was at the front counter and it was all over the floor, proposing a fall risk to guests and other staff. That liquid remained on the floor throughout my entire dine-in experience. My 3rd trip to the counter was due to order being incorrect and no sauces as requested initially. I proceeded to get our drinks from the fountain machine and noticed 4 cups filled with ice and drinks sitting on the drip tray, unattended, resulting in trip #4 to counter to alert management. and again complain about the no clean dining room tables, as I watched staff gather at the counter laughing loud and playing around. Disappointed in the entire experience and the lack of accountability of staff.
