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.

    I usually go to the Athens Georgia location. Not very well maintained. I am in Columbia SC for work and visited this location tonight. It was amazing I met a Manager training for Raleigh as he was cleaning tables and talking to customers he told me that was the standard and all the management at this location held their team to it. Can see why he is training at this location!

    Short staffing created a significant wait on line. They have 2 lanes with no traffic plan to release cars that have received food before the cars ahead. I waited on line for over 25 minutes. Recieved my food but could not leave.

    Ordered breakfast thru the app. Waited 45 minutes for our food. Finally gave up and left. 15 minutes later got notification that our order would be”soon” be ready. Last time we will ever go to this place.

    I decided to give this location another try after almost a year. I had bad service previously. I tried multiple times to use a coupon on the app at the kiosk. I wouldn't redeem for the correct amount of money. I moved to the line for the counter with only one person in front of me. I waited about 10 minutes and decided to leave as the cashier never came back to the counter. This location has the worst service. Do not go here. Most fast food places on Killian have terrible service.

    Food is very good. Delicious burgers and the Honey Chicken Wings are great! But the service at this location is terrible. It takes a long time to even get acknowledged and then it takes forever to get your order, even if the place is empty.
