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.

I tend to make stops here for a quick lunch while traveling through Texas. Fries and burgers always come out nice and fresh, fast and easy service per usual and can vary depending on how busy, but overall a friendly and warm environment with a great working crew. Crew is polite, respectful, and will reciprocate with great energy.

Very disappointing experience. I waited in line for 9 minutes while employees were more focused on discussing Instagram likes and followers than taking orders. Customers’ time clearly wasn’t a priority. I ended up leaving without ordering and won’t be coming back. On another note the girl running the drive thru window was nice and efficient. Was helped at the speaker immediately and had my food in 4 min

10/10 experience. This is the cleanest Whataburger and quite possibly the cleanest restaurant we’ve ever been to. Sparkling clean. Super friendly service. Brian was so friendly and didn’t stop cleaning the whole time we were there. They were so kind to our kids at the counter and gave them coloring sheets. Food was hot, quick, and good. We WILL be returning. Thank you for the great experience. Brian, if you can see this, thank you for taking such pride in your work.

Its a shame u cant even get a complete order of fries just because u ask for the fries with no salt. This is what I recieved half filled because i asked for no salt which is also the reason I ordered a small fry because I knew i wouldnt even get a whole large fry because of the request. Im paying for it so why is such a hassle when u ask for fries no salt for something I spent my money on to be complete and no half ass filled.

Absolutely fantastic atmosphere! Greeted with smiles even at almost 9pm! Our cashier Axel was absolutely fabulous super kind and helpful such a respectful young man! Food came out hot and fresh and the fries straight out the fryer piping hot the meal was amazing!! The manager Alice Melish has an absolutely amazing work ethic and such a wonderful crew you can tell she has the skill to keep everything organized, clean and in order! This is my new review I wanted to replace because wow what a difference! Absolutely deserve the recovery!

Food taste and quality is inconsistent. Cost….crazy. Yesterday, I ordered the chicken fajita taco. It was $12 (med combo) and the taco was smaller than the breakfast taquito. The employee was bringing the food out, stops and said, “Do you want fresh fries?”
In my head, I thought,” Nope, I prefer them to have the consistency of a lawn dart, thanks….”
What my mouth doesn’t say, my face definitely does and no sooner were the words out when and they turned around and went and made french fries.
And please, for the love of God, fix the radio, so that more than five songs play in a rotation. I was in there for approximately 30 to 40 minutes and this is no exaggeration, I heard getting jiggy with it by Will Smith five times.
The staff was having conversations that I cannot even put suggestions on the topic of on here.

Visited on 2.2.205. I have stopped at numerous Whataburger locations in my travels across Texas, and this one is by far the BEST. The Chicken strips were fried to perfection, the French fries were fresh, the white gravy was thick and creamy, and the Texas toast was excellent. The Strawberry Shake was blended to the correct thickness, and Monique was awesome working the register. I will definitely make it a point to eat at this Whataburger again when I travel through Sweetwater. BRAVO to the staff that was working around 6pm!!!

Whataburger has been my go to for over 40 years. I was on a long 9 hour journey today when I made a pit stop at this Whataburger in Sweetwater, Texas. Located off of I-20, this location was at the perfect place so that I can pick up some coffee and some breakfast. I drove up to an empty drive thru around roughly 4am CST and placed my order…a large cup of coffee with 2 Splenda and two creams and 3 chorizo and egg breakfast taquitos. My total was around 18 bucks or so. I figured i’d eat these along my trip down to McAllen, Texas. When I got to the drive thru, the window opened and was told that Chorizo and egg taquitos were not served at that location. I was stunned. I thought all Whataburgers served them. I politely told them no problem, but I will take the coffee. Let face it… I needed the coffee. They asked, oh so you dont want the taquitos then? I answered well no… I asked for chorizo and egg and you just informed me that your location does not serve that.
Well, it took anywhere between 5-7 minutes for my cup of coffee. They gave me the coffee on the house because of the wait. I tasted it and coffee was black. I should have asked again for the 2 Splenda and 2 creams. It will be a while before I stop at this Whataburger located off of I 20 in Sweetwater, Texas again.

Hands full of burger at the moment. But! Hands down! The best Whataburger I’ve ever been to. It’s so clean here. The food was piping hot and perfect. So good! Great staff. I don’t live in Sweetwater. But if I’m driving through here again I’m coming here. I ordered my favorite burger and it’s the best I’ve ever had. It’s 2:50pm. Give kiddos to who ever is working the grill today.

It was swamped with 2 teams of football players and cheerleaders, fans and the drive in was swamped.
They handled it well.
It took 45 minutes to get our food. That is not a complaimt.
It was hot and fresh.
Great job on handling their business professionally.
