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.

I went ahead and decided I wanted to go to whataburger today, and I was greeted by the kindest employee. I believe his name was Alexander. When I walked in, he smiled and welcomed me into the restaurant. I told him I wasn’t ready to order yet and I needed a minute and he completely understood and patiently waited until I was ready. The entire time I was deciding he had a bright smile on his face and when I told him I was ready he took my order and had the utmost respect towards me. When I had completed my order, he politely handed me the number and told me to take a seat. When my order was ready, he came and gave me my food and made sure I had everything I needed, like ketchups, my drink, and once he left he told me to have a wonderful day and let him know if he needs anything. What a great guy!

Went to the restaurant on 02/27/2026 at 4:49PM. Waited for approximately 5 minutes before anyone came to counter to take my order, I gave the order precisely as I wanted it prepared. We waited approximately 15 minutes for the order to be prepared, upon receiving the order, one of the burger’s did not have cheese as had been ordered. When it was brought to their attention, I was advised that I had not paid for the cheese on burger, even though I ordered it when I placed the order. I was advised I would need to pay the $0.65 for the cheese, which I did. They took the original burger to put cheese on it and, after approximately 10 minutes the burger was returned to me. I had specified that I wanted mayonnaise and no mustard. I also requested that onions not be on the burger. When the burger was returned to me, not only did it have mustard and no mayonnaise, but it also had an excessive amount of chopped onions. While I was waiting for my wife’s burger, my burger and fries had gotten cold. The restaurant only had approximately 8 customers at the time of our visit. The personnel were condenscending toward me.
I have been a very loyal customer of this restaurant since it opened, but I will have second thoughts before returning.

Do better all the flies in the restaurant and on the wall. Do better. I spoke with the manager Mr Diaz he was no help. He cared less and did not even seem to care.

Hey Whataburger in Allen, TX—We went through the drive thru for burgers, fries & malts. Total $51.00. Food was ok but the malts all had pieces of styrofoam mixed in. WTH? Are you trying to gag or poison people? I suggest everyone skip the shakes & malts or check what you’re drinking.

I’ve eaten at numerous Whataburger locations in the past several years. This is my 1st time here. Ixchel’s brother took my order. He answered all my questions, and helped me with getting the app special which was a free Pico de Gallo burger with purchase of medium drink & medium fries. No problem substituting medium onion rings for the fries, toasting the buns on both sides, and adding lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles on the side. I also earned 3X / TRIPLE app points today, June 19, for Juneteenth. Jasmine also helped me. L. Shepard is the Manager at this location. Everyone here was very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. Excellent customer service! Everything was delicious!

As someone who literally works at a whataburger down the street, i’m surprised this was served to me, this isn’t a chicken strip this is a chicken bite that was purposely given to me on an online order probably to save the store money! Will never return, had some great service here and there but this is ridiculous to pay $4 and people try to rip you off for a chicken strip…wasn’t even busy there is no excuses.

I didn’t know coming at midnight meant l’d get such poor service. First, the lady on the intercom could barely hear me. Then, at the window, I was greeted by Miss Octavia, who showed zero customer service skills.
She gave me only half my order, and when l asked about the missing items, she said, “Give the bag back” as if I was lying, then added,
“Well, I don’t make the bags.” So if I
hadn’t checked, I would ve been out of luck.
At that point, I got out of my car because the interaction felt completely unnecessary and disrespectful. Kudos to the manager (a Hispanic gentleman) who stepped in and fixed the issue, placing each meal in separate bags like Whataburger normally does.
My wife thinks maybe the employee was having a bad day, but that’s still no excuse to disrespect customers and mess up orders. Unfortunately, the experience completely killed my appetite. For the record, I ordered 2 meals and 2 kids’ meals.

The food was good, but the service was sub par. I asked for a large drink and a small fry and got a large fry. Not a big deal. I asked for a sweet tea, since they don’t leave it out when it gets late, and he gave me an unsweet tea. He ultimately got me the right one, but still annoying.

They don’t brag about it much, but years ago there was a survey to discover how each Whatabburger placed. Of all the (iirc) 558 participating Whataburgers, this one placed 14th. It is consistently, one of the best. Many of the old staff that gave it it’s glowing reviews, sterling reputation, and just perfect everything have retired or moved on, but the current staff ain’t no slouch.
It’s not as good as it used to be, but it’s 97% as good as they used to be. If they did a new survey I’m sure they’d rank in the top 30.
