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 long wait times for orders, especially during busy hours, with some experiencing delays of 20 minutes or more.

They get a little busy but they're always friendly and fast (well as fast as any Whataburger). They also seem to care about the people working there and the community.

The blackberry Dr pepper is delicious, the only observation is that when it's crowded the staff gets a little bit confused but always friendly, so, just be patient. The burgers are always good
