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 noted friendly and helpful staff, with specific praise for employees like Ashley and Mat, although there were also complaints about slow service and incorrect orders.

Super friendly staff which is half the battle these days. Fortunate for me the burger was also made to order and delicious. So, FIVE STAR all around. I did not eat inside so I have no reference on "atmosphere"

Got a honey bbq chicken strip sandwich and it had the smallest chicken tenders I’ve ever gotten. Didn’t even fill the bun, very disappointing. I Will definitely never visit this awful location again.

Nice place to go with our daughter who uses a wheelchair. I literally received an onion "ring" with two onion rings stuck together. There is a nice outdoor seating area beside a canal that is also wheelchair accessible.
