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 generally found the food to be delicious and fresh, although some reported issues with cold or poorly cooked items.

A Texas burger chain with products and customer service superior to most of the national chains. I always stop in when I'm in Texas. Coke products served here.

Food was as good as could be expected from a fast food chain. They had my meal almost ready when I walked in after ordering online just 5 minutes before. So they definitely get some service stars and they were polite. The only thing that was making was there cleanliness it was tables were rather dirty onlya few clean ones. So, if you have a spot you like to, or want to sit at you may have to wipe it down yourself. The trays were piling up on the trash can but the trash wasn't quite full yet. Overall I give this location about 3.9 Stars. Cleaned up it could get 5 Stars for the market they are in.
