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.

After arriving at 12:02p and checking in to spot #2 (directly in front of the store)….I waited. and waited….and then waited some more.
Finally at 12:15 I went inside, to find my cold hamburger and fries and partially melted milkshake waiting on the shelf.
The employee at the front counter stammered and blamed the back-of-house staff for clearing the status of my order, or something like that.
I think I’ll try another restaurant next time for lunch.
No. She forgot and when im still there 5 minutes later exclaims at the cashier that she told her to get me the gravy before. (She didnt actually tell her that once) The 2nd cashier that took my gravy order comes over and hands me 2 ramekins of gravy, one that I ordered the 2nd time but the first one should have been bigger since it came in a side meal. At that point i just left and despite living 5 minutes away, got home to half cold food.
I’m very patient and I didn’t cause a fuss, but that shift was terribly executed, I could visible see about 8 people in their kitchen alone when I arrived and were busy plus 2 people in the front but only one cashier running the line. The manager/shift i assume was in charge had to apologize to plenty of people before my order because the kitchen kept losing tickets or messing them up so I wasnt too surprised when that happened to mine. I don’t know if they need more people or what, but I can definitely tell you they need a better leader, because while she kept up an okay attitude she didn’t know how to properly manage her staff, talk to customers or the situations. The floors were also visibly dirty and once it slowed lots of the staff were sent home but the place remained dirty.
The burger was also completely squished down since it had been improperly packed, and of course cold. Also I ordered 2 Jalapeño biscuits, one alone and one with gravy, but instead they gave me an egg sandwhich with the biscuits rather than what I wanted. Honestly what was the point of grabbing the receipt if it wasn’t going to be read.
I did go back after sitting down to eat and seeing the state of my food and ask to speak to the manager, a woman named Abbie. She had not been the one I had seen previously. I explained I just wanted my entire order remade because it was cold, wrong, and squished. She asks for my receipt and i explained they took my receipt when they lost my ticket.
She writes down my order and goes to give it to the kitchen.
Now is when I hear the shift? From earlier who i assume is working the kitchen, because the manager Abbie tells her about my situation.
Now someone has to clearly explain to her that she speaks very loudly and that sound travels when you don’t have a door heading to the kitchen, because she asks Abbie was what was wrong she loudly exclaims that the food wasn’t cold she has made it like right away. Then Abbie explains about the biscuit and she does admit that was her mistake, but the whole interaction was very immature and frankly disrespectful especially since she could be heard.
When was finally serviced, I did not receive apology for having to wait so long(simply being ignored). Cherry on top all that wait and my order was still wrong! Don’t even confront them about it because there was another line of customers that were again ignored like I was just waiting to be served ……
