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 slow service, especially in the drive-thru, with some experiencing long wait times even when few cars were ahead.

I like whataburger. Their meat to bun to toppings ratio is on point, and for fast food it’s pretty tasty. Thought I have yet to get fast service there. I have a feeling they are understaffed at the times I have been. Still quicker than McDonalds is though.

We ordered $130 of food from this returning via DoorDash and received none of the 4 milkshakes we ordered, the drinks we ordered and received were 3/4 full. Food was thrown together and not made with care. I will be close tasting corporate.

This is currently the closest Whataburger to our home...about 35 miles. It's worth it (we moved here from Texas). This location has always been consistent...accurate order, fast service inside (and admittedly a bit slow outside drive thru), food hot and fresh.
Today was cold and wife wanted a hot coffee. That is more a breakfast drink, but they made a pot for her which was really appreciated. On the way out one of the young ladies asked if she needed it refilled and poured her a big cup for the way home...nice touch.

We ordered our food here and the employees gave it away TWICE to random people without checking.Honestly it feels that they are lazy, their service is slow and they are rude. I had better burgers at a different Whataburger, I personally don’t recommend it here.

Most of our experiences are pretty good here. This was the first time we used the drive though. When ordering all and any changes to the burgers were ignored or the employee was too knew or didn't care. The food is always good just disappointed in how things went through the drive through.
