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.

    The standard is kept high for the Original Whataburger! The menu can be modified, within reason, to how you prefer your food served. Many Whataburger favorites uphold the high standards of the restaurant chain. The staff is friendly and courteous and seem like they actually enjoy their jobs. If you are bringing someone to their first Whataburger experience, this location is definitely a must!

    I was close to this Whataburger and decided to try it; instead of going my favorite one. My hashbrowns and breakfast bowl were cold (so much for making it after you order it; as their commercials, always say). Dalia B, at the drive-through was very rude; after I paid, she didn’t even ask me if I wanted my receipt, just handed me my card back and as I was asking her for my receipt, she shut the window on me. I waited for her to come back to the window and when she opened it, I asked her for my receipt and very rudely and condescending; “she said have a nice day,” as she handed me my receipt, shutting the window as fast as she could afterwards. I will not be coming back to this location.

    I wasn't going to say anything until reading the other reviews, but I have had similar experience where I've had to go back twice for simple orders where I was missing 3 things. And not only that, but did they ignore my order. No pickles, I am allergic to pickles, and you deliberately ignored that what would you have done if I sat there and took a bite out of that sandwich and ended up in the hospital because of it. Definitely , will never be eating at whataburger again

    I have to agree with the rest of the lowest reviews, I had the same experience with drive thru the other night. Took my granddaughter after she got out of work to get a chicken tenders meal. There were two cars in front of us, the one in front was given their order but the one in front of that one was still waiting. They must have been waiting there for awhile because they were already waiting when we got there. Drive thru asked me to move forward so they could help the other customers behind me. Four other cars came and went behind us and still no order for my granddaughter. When the employee finally came out with the order I told him, really it took 25 minutes to make 3 chicken tenders. He then said it's fresh, so what was he saying, that everything else they make at that place is old food. I then asked for the manager because we didn't get our receipt so we could do a review. The manager then came out and handed me the receipt and said I'm sorry in which I replied no your not. If she had been sorry she could have given my granddaughter her money back and had her keep the meal. I spoken to other friends who have mentioned that they won't go to that Whataburger because they have had similar experiences of waiting to long or getting the wrong order. Whataburger has gone downhill ever since the family sold the company. When it comes down to it is that companies don't care anymore about how many customers receive bad service as long as they are making money from the rest of the people who don't mind getting bad service. What these businesses have to understand is that they should expect customers to get angry if they give bad service.
