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.

    Today I couldn’t wait for dinner. My lady and I went to the drive in and I ordered a Sweet & Spicy, upsized with a coke. We get home and its a dried up messy chicken finger sandwich with cold fries. Of course this could happen at any fast food drive thru but This is a frequent occurrence at the Texas City WB. I had enough and had to post something this time. Make sure the kid takes your order right before moving forward. Check your food before driving off. Frustrating 🤦🏻‍♂️
