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.

This Whataburger is the best location in the area! My husband and I drive 15 minutes further than the one closest to us (off exit 16) just to go to this location. All the workers are kind and we get our food in a timely manner. Food is always hot and fresh! I love their grilled chicken sandwich meal. Whoever is running this location is doing a great job. I love my hometown Whataburger. ❤️

Finally I got to try the revered whataburger. I ordered a small strawberry shake, small fries, and their normal Whataburger.
The best part ? Their shakes for a fast food joint pretty good ! Thick and not overly sweet (it’s sweet) but doesn’t taste like a McDonald’s medicine strawberry shake. So that’s the kudos, the fries came out hot and were definitely decent.
The bad?
The star of the show , burger it’s without a doubt the most bland burger I’ve had at any place so far. It’s a rather thin paddy , the bread needs to be toasted as it’s way to “chewy” it was of putting. I took two bites and spit the second bite out.
If this this the “best” burger in town , we are definitely doomed. Well conclusion? Overhyped and definitely nothing I would ever want to try again .

I absolutely LOVE this Whataburger location. My son is on the Spectrum And the staff is always so kind and patient with my son. We can’t dine everywhere, but at Lanier Island location we are always welcome. They know us by name, and that is priceless. Thank you to the team that always make me and my son feel special! Hugs !!!

Nice and clean, kiosk to order is great (not as intuitive as others) but welcomed. Food was fresh and accurate to our specifics. We all enjoyed them. Jalapeno’s added to the flavor over just pure heat. Apple pie was delicious and the shake too. Definitely coming back!

I lived on the West Coast when I was younger and ate at places that aren’t represented out here that much, including Whataburger. The new stores are awesome, and so is the food!!! I don’t remember the Whataburger of my childhood even tasting this good. For a fast food burger, you ain’t getting much better than this. Their boneless wing sauce on the tenders packs some good heat, and their spicy chicken sandwich blows Wendy’s out of the water. Go ahead, indulge. The food is good and the service was great..I also got a milkshake cuz I’m an adult, and I do what I want

Just hoping that this first time ever experience is maintained in any future visits!
A still brand new location with trainers on hand, was very fresh, clean, bright, and energetic. Responses of “Heard!” from the crew as instructions were being issued were resounding. Explanations to crew about actions they were performing incorrectly were given out of sight of customers, with trainers asking the new employees to please come with them to discuss. Start up locations often jump from the gate running full out, so it will be interesting to see how service fares once some time has passed.
Our cashier/server was named Terri and was as sweet as could be. We had tried to use the Whataburger App to order ahead, but we could not make the modifications we wanted with it. As we had heard so much about Whatabuger’s famous reputation for customizable orders, we decided to come inside and ask about what we were trying to do.
Terri assured us that, while she did not know how to do what we were asking, it was certainly something that could be done, and asked a trainer for her help. Great job! We got to ditch the bun my wife’s breakfast sandwich was on and got Texas Toast instead! Yes! And she loved it!
The breakfast taquito was good… but I wish I’d gotten one of the sandwiches instead.
Hashbrowns were hit and miss… some very fresh and crispy (and therefore delicious) and some not so much…
The coffee was very good with no complaints at all.
Will update with burgers the next time through!

Our Whataburger experience was pretty good. For the quality of burger it is a decent price but more expensive than a normal fast food burger.
This is a really good spot if you’re feeling a little bit more quality than Wendy’s for lunch or dinner.

First off I would like to say its hard to find a good Whataburger with so many opening here in Georgia. This one in particular has been the best one I’ve been too. Service off the rip was great. The lady who took our order was polite and very helpful. Food came out pretty quickly and was right on the money with no mistakes. This just became my main Whataburger no doubt. 10/10 experience.

First time eating here and it wasn’t a good experience. The fries are nasty and they didn’t even toss the wings in buffalo sauce they just plopped some on two nuggets. The chicken is good quality tho that’s the only reason I’m giving 3 starts
