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.
Circa-1950 fast-food chain for counter-serve burgers, some stacked with multiple patties.

One of the best Whataburger staffs I’ve experienced. Food was quick and delicious. Appreciated the kindness and friendliness of the staff, especially how they treated the elderly man ordering behind me with respect and support.

Ordered a spicy chicken sandwich asked for it plain it wasn’t asked for a hamburger with cheese pickles lettuce and ketchup they literally gave me a patty between two buns and what looked like ketchup but was chunky forgot to give us our drinks fries were cold and hard …. never going back!!!!! Not to mention there were plenty of workers not sure how they could have gotten it wrong

The food and workers here are amazing! I unfortunately contracted light food poisoning from the soda (Dr.Pepper), from the drive thru. It gave me a bad stomach ache, almost immediately. I then caught a fever and diarrhea.
Please consider cleaning the soda machines.

To say I’m beyond ticked off is a understatement, I did take out placed my order said it was going to be ready at the latest 8:11, waited until 8:11 then got there and told them my name for the order, 20 minutes later they finally checked and said oh its been here the whole time, cool now I’m late for what I am doing and now my food is cold and get this not even all there, the fries were so old and cold they became rubber, the onlything warm was the gravy. I remember why I stopped coming to this location.

Look I used to love this place but now it sucks actually, im not some bot, I almost got sick because of one burger it really sucks, because afternoon you eat you feel sick for like 20 minutes, I didn’t eat a whole lot of food just one single burger. This is honestly disappointing

Loud rap music from the kitchen greeted us as we walked in the doors of this small town establishment. When we stepped to the counter to order (we were not greeted), the girl behind the register acted like she had no idea what she was doing. (We hope to assume that it was her first day on the job). We finished placing our order for 4 (in which she had to stop us multiple times to ask for help with the register), and stepped aside to wait for our drink cups. When none were given, I asked for them. The girl who had taken our order, looked puzzled, handed me 1 cup, and then acted like she couldnt give us any more cups. She went to ask for help in the back. Another woman came forward looking puzzled, asked if we had ordered food as well, and then went back toward the kitchen- still without handing us the 3 cups we were waiting for. 5-10 minutes later, the original girl came back with milkshakes in hand (which we had ordered) but still no drink cups. I asked for drink cups again, to which she promptly went behind the counter, and pulled 3 cups and handed them to us.
Our to-go food was delivered after about 15 minutes, and we went to the car. Upon passing out food in the car, found that the chicken sandwich I had ordered without mayo was completely void of any veggies or dressing. I went back in with the sandwich in hand and was met with a different person behind the register. As I explained that my sandwich was incorrect, he either couldn’t understand that I wanted a chicken sandwich with no mayo, or he couldn’t hear me over the loud music still coming from the kitchen.
He eventually understood, and brought me a new sandwich a few minutes later.
On a good note, once we finally received our correct, complete order…our food was tasty.
However, we will not be returning.

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Whataburger, and this location truly goes above and beyond! Visiting town for the first time, we knew we had to try this Southern favorite we’d heard so much about and wow, it did not disappoint!
The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service? Simply outstanding! The two team members who helped us were beyond amazing. so kind and full of Southern hospitality. When we mentioned it was our first visit, they not only guided us through the menu but also surprised us with a thoughtful welcome gift, including stickers, coupons, and the sweetest well wishes. The sweet young cashier Aaron and her lovely coworker.
It’s rare to find this level of kindness and genuine care, and it made our experience unforgettable. If you’re in town, do yourself a favor and stop by this Whataburger. You’ll be met with fantastic food and even better people.
Sending love and best wishes all the way from Denmark. thank you for making our visit so special!

First of all, let me just say that I am from California, and was sure that their burger was going to be just as average as the rest. I was wrong!
I went into the location unsure of what to get and the manager suggested this Monterey melt (cheeseburger), after verifying that I liked spicy food. She then paid for my meal and gave me a backpack with a keychain and cup. Ok, I almost cried! What a sweetheart!!!
This sandwich is not one that I would have ordered on my own, but glad I took the advice because wow! it was amazing! I have not tasted a burger like it.
Today, I received great customer service, food and hospitality. Thank you!!!!
