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.

    I literally order the picture on the menu. A number 1, no additions, no deletions. Not only that, it was an app order, literally spelled out in black and white. The tag on the bag literally said 1 -WB. When I got home and opened the bag, did I have a number 1? Nope. I had a single patty, grilled onions, sweet and spicy sauce. Nothing remotely close to the number 1. I appreciate fast food, but does it have to be so fast that you can't even get the absolute original menu item correct. And the price... when you're picking up food through a windiw for more than the price at a sit down restaurant... c'mon, give me some effort. They were not understaffed and they were not too busy. I saw plenty of employees and the line was not wrapped around the corner. I'm not sure what the excuse was this time, but I'm sure someone has one.

    They are so busy, because they are so busy they are rude. I told them they were out of both teas and they said we don't have time right now to fill them.
