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.
Many customers praised the friendly and attentive staff, highlighting specific employees for their exceptional service.

Phenomenal service, absolutely exquisite customer service, beautifully clean atmosphere that takes your breath away. Minerna helped a ton with getting my order situated and runs a tight ship. Cannot recommend this location enough.

Food was okay. Ice machine was broken so we had to wait at the counter for drinks. Food was good. Employees were ready to close the lobby and made us feel rushed. We got there around 4:30 and they closed at 6:00
