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.
We stopped in for a late dinner on our vacation to Florida. The staff was very friendly and the place was absolutely spotless. I was impressed. And the food is made right there after you order it and comes out nice and hot.

Well ran operation, the cashier got a little upset with me and one of the times I went there, it took a good while to get my food even though people that ordered after me got their food first. The manager is a good upstanding person and I like their food a lot

I ordered three regular hamburgers to go. She looked me in the eye and I said no added onions. I waited 15 minutes and got three hamburgers, full of onions. Entry-level jobs and she was a manager. No wonder the inside was empty. What a shame.

While the food was good it was too expensive for what it was. The main problem was waiting 30+ for "fast" food. After awhile an associate asked us for our receipt which the kiosk didn't give us. After another 5 minutes I checked in thinking maybe our order didn't go through and after everyone else in the restaurant even those after us had been served and was told since it was a large order it was going to take awhile. We are a family of five but three of our meals were Whatameals and two families of four that ordered after us were served and one was done before we even had food. After that two of the kids meals were wrong. Super disappointing first experience very doubtful there will be a second.
