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.

Today I saw packets in there just like I asked for and I was so excited!
….thanks SO much for all the ketchup. That will taste horrible on a taquito.
I’ve been here many times, and it is clean inside and outside. I’ve included a photo of one of the managers instructing the landscapers to make sure that they removed an ant hill as proof of their dedication to cleanliness outside of their store.
I mainly do curbside pick up because my office is across the street. My experiences have been consistently, fast accurate, cold drinks (with carbonation for the soda) and hot food.
It is an overall great experience. I’d recommend this location and we’ll be back.
My girlfriend and I ordered like we always do. I paid around $30 for our food. I ordered my Bacon Wrangler with no pickles and an extra patty (three patties total). She ordered hers regular, with pickles and the standard two patties.
The first red flag was the excessively long wait time for just two burgers and fries. After waiting that long, the fries came out barely warm, which already didn’t make sense. Still, I tried to stay patient.
But then we checked the burgers — and both orders were completely wrong. They gave us two regular burgers with two patties and pickles… exactly like my girlfriend’s order. Mine was supposed to be three patties and no pickles, and they didn’t get a single part right. So I went to get it corrected.
To remake it, they took another 10 minutes… for one burger. My patience was already running out at this point.
When they finally brought the replacement, I opened it and, yes, the three patties were there — but again, they missed something as basic and essential as the bacon.
How do you mess up a Bacon Wrangler twice?
How does a burger literally named Bacon Wrangler come out without bacon?
At that point, I went to the front visibly frustrated. The cashier who helped me was nervous, but again, he was not the issue.
The manager was.
She walked up to me with an attitude that was aggressive, rude, and completely unprofessional, asking me what the problem was “this time.” Already annoyed, I explained very clearly:
“It’s a Bacon Wrangler. Bacon.”
I emphasized Bacon because apparently that was the part everyone kept ignoring.
Instead of apologizing or taking responsibility, she acted confused, then said, “Oh, they didn’t put bacon? Okay, I’ll get you some.”
And the “solution” she offered was honestly insulting:
She brought out cold bacon, opened my burger — which had only one small bite because I was checking it — and threw the bacon on top, without even considering fixing the burger properly or remaking it like any respectful restaurant would do after messing up twice.
After everything — the long wait, cold fries, two incorrect burgers, missing ingredients, and a manager with zero professionalism — I walked out extremely upset.
This is not what I expect from Whataburger. Not even close.
The only good part of this entire visit was the cashier, Christopher.
He was attentive, respectful, and genuinely tried to help. His service was the only reason this experience wasn’t even worse.
But overall, the visit was unacceptable.
If this is how customers get treated after paying $30 for a simple meal, and after the kitchen messes up multiple times, then this location seriously needs retraining — starting with customer service and attention to detail.
This was the first plate I got to visit on my arrival to Houston. I ordered a jalapeño and cheese burger, just the burger, but they made it into a meal and chaffed me for that, making the drink a Sprite. The burger itself was fine, pretty standard, somewhat large
