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.

Whataburger – Bandera Road, Leon Valley
This Whataburger has clearly been updated recently, and while I’ll always have a soft spot for the classic A-frame design, the new, more generic box-style building is clean, modern, and efficient. Nostalgia aside, the important part—the food—remains exactly what you expect.
I ordered the #5, and it was hot, fresh, and made just right. My wife went with the #7, and hers was equally spot-on. The burgers were flavorful, the fries were crisp, and everything tasted like the Whataburger we’ve loved for years.
Even though the look has changed, the quality hasn’t. If you’re craving a dependable, satisfying burger, this Bandera Road location still delivers.

Here’s the same review updated with that line, phrased strongly but still in a way that won’t get flagged as profanity/harassment:
I’m extremely disappointed with the “Breakfast Platter” I received from this Whataburger location. The menu photo shows a complete platter with properly portioned eggs, bacon, hash browns, and a biscuit. What I got instead looked sloppy, under-portioned, and thrown together, and it was missing key items. It was nothing like what I ordered or what’s advertised.
Honestly, it looked like someone’s leftover plate was dumped into a to-go container and handed to me. This wasn’t a small mistake—it was poor quality control and an incorrect order. I won’t be going back to this location, and I recommend people drive past it and choose a different one that actually cares about the quality and accuracy of what they’re serving.

Food is decent. Every time I order here there is always items missing. I gave this location a chance but everytime something is missing and fries are usually cold but there is times the fries are good. Wouldn’t recommend if you have a big order they will forget something.

Never have I had such rude behavior from Whataburger. I might as well went to McDonald’s. The awful and disgusting rudeness. And for nothing, because I asked for 2 separate containers of extra pickles. The worker acted as if it’s too much and completely ignored my request. Managers never greeted or welcomed me. Do better Whataburger and smile! You chose your job so give the customer service ppl deserve. What a shame

Kid at the drive through was in a obvious bad day. Started by handing our card to us with greasy gloved hands. Grease all over our card. Handled our drink with same greasy gloves from previous order – I let all that go. I asked for more spicy ketchup ( gave us 2 for a 3 person order) You would have thought I asked for something impossible. I made eye contact with him so, as to know I had his attention. I told him to have a good day, he ignored me and closed the window in my face. People have bad days, I get it but, if you are and you show it to customers, perhaps dont work in the service industry. Called the “manager” who didnt seem interested. “Ya, I’ll talk to him.” This family will no longer frequent this establishment. We are 0.3 miles away and all 3 burgers and fries were cold.

Sad that one manager can change the whole dynamics of this location Susan is always rude and very inconsiderate it’s hard to see this because it takes away from the goodness that the other managers do it doesn’t they just have a manager like that and I’m sure it’s not by choice of the managing partner Mr Allen he seems very particular about employees staff and managers he’s just the one that sticks out from the rest she just extremely rude and has no customer service skills whatsoever if I don’t understand why she’s in a position that she is and the only reason I hate to do this give the start of one rating for today is just for this visit because she’s the one I dealt with right now cuz I really hate to give this location a one-star rating cuz I don’t think they need it you need all the help they can get with customer service skills you have good managers in this location how’s everything below that’s not the the type of food that I’m used to eating at this restaurant the food normally really good but those fries are brown soggy and old as hell I don’t think she’s capable of handling a restaurant of this magnitude anyway just thought I would let you all know please don’t hold it against the tire restaurant. Is this every time I come in and she’s here on duty I’ll either leave and go somewhere else to eat or try not to interact with her at all ruins your day

This place is great for seniors! They offer a free small drink for free! It’s not a bad size either! The double meat cheese Jr. burger is perfect for me. Just enough to not feel too full.

I placed my first online order with Whataburger and as a first-time registrant, I got a free burger! I added a bunch of toppings like avocado, cheese, grilled onions, one more patty and grilled jalapeños. I also got a large onion rings, a vanilla iced coffee, and a brownie.
When I arrived to pick up my order, a lady handed it to me. At first, I thought the drink was Coke so I asked if it was my iced vanilla coffee. She wasn’t rude or anything but didn’t explain. It would’ve been nice if she confirmed it was the right drink instead of just saying my name.
As for the food, the brownie was disappointing. It lacked that sweet rich chocolate flavor. The onion rings were just okay, not something I’d order again. I was too hungry to double check the burger toppings but I did notice they only gave me two spicy ketchups when I asked for three.
The biggest surprise? Even with a “free” burger, my total came out to $17.23 because of all the add ons. Whataburger is definitely on the pricey side!
Overall, it was a mixed experience. The customization options are great but the small details (like confirming the drink or getting the order right) could be improved.

Today I ordered a large frosted berry, manager takes the order and goes back I’m assuming to make it. A staff member hands a frosted berry to another customer, I asked about my large one and she mumbled something, comes back with a small one. I said I ordered a large and she said they ran out of large cups. Manager comes up and says have you been helped? I explained what happened she tells them to make me a large but tells the girl to throw out the small one, I asked instead of throwing it out can I pay for it assuming she would not charge me full price since it would have been thrown out. Lo and behold I now have paid $4.32 for the original large and $3.99 for the regular that she planned on throwing out. Most expensive frosted berry. Lesson learned, I do doordash pick ups here that’s why I was there to begin with and as before the lack of customer service is overwhelming not only from staff but management.

Ordered almost $70 worth of food. Everything was trash. All the meals were wrong. We got a chicken strip box and the amount of gravy given didn’t even fill up a quarter of that little cup. This place is trash, dont waste your money. The fries damn near broke my teeth. So hard and stale. I dont get it. You think as busy as they were they would have fresh fries cycling in and out…nope those fries had to have been some of the worst I’ve ever tried. Never spending my money here again!
