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.

    Clásico que nunca falla. Las hamburguesas vienen frescas, jugosas y con buen tamaño, justo como me gustan. El servicio fue rápido, el lugar estaba limpio y las papas… uff, adictivas. Perfecto para una comida rica y sin complicaciones.

    The young man at the counter must have had a long day. I didn't think he enjoyed his job or maybe he had a very rough day. The food was good and the young man who brought us our food was very nice.

    I’m only in this town for work and tonight was the second time I’ve been to this location in 2 weeks and both times standing at the online order pickup counter everybody working there straight up acts like I didn’t exist. Tonight after standing at the mobile order pickup counter for 10-20 minutes I waited in line just to tell the girl I had a mobile order simple salad and a drink so I get my salad from someone else finally, still waiting on my drink for another 10 minutes the girl at the counter standing there texting still acting like I’m not still standing there I ask is it going to be a while to get my drink and she just looks at me clueless even though it says it on the receipt that was taped to my bag and I also told the girl that bagged and handed me my salad that I also had a drink when she asked if that was everything then she just says oh ok and walks off to start wiping tables in the dining area. Worst Whataburger I’ve ever been to left without my food or drink so waste of money
