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.
Missed this while living in Colorado but am now living here, will be a frequent customer.

I used to come to this location almost every night after work. About 6 months or so ago I moved to the other side of town and now I go to a different Whataburger.
I was on the timberland side of town this morning, so I placed an order hoping and praying that Nickie would be the drive through cashier.
Nickie goes above and beyond every single time I go to this Whataburger. She knows exactly who I am (I always place my order online). Today though, she even mentioned how she hasn’t seen me in awhile. She does an exceptional job and that’s not something that can be trained into someone. It’s just who she is.
I am the general manager of Schlotzsky’s and I know how hard it is to find great people like that. If I was the GM of this store, I would definitely be doing everything in my power to make sure that Nickie moved up the ladder in management real quick.
I can’t express enough how wonderful it was to get off work at night and go get my burger and Nickie was the one taking care of me. She can make any bad day better and that’s the purpose of being in food service. Sometimes people are having the worst days of their life and all they want is a burger and then to have someone like Nickie give that burger to them, makes it a million times better.
I wish there were more words I could say to fully express how perfect she is at her job but I’m sure that anyone who works with her or has even met her, knows how perfect she is.

I can’t give this place enough stars. I moved here over the summer and have tried every whataburger location in this county…none compare to this location. The employees are always kind, the food is fresh and it’s always a pleasure.
