Whataburger

waited 40 minutes The old rude woman, Barbara took my order. There were only 3 people waiting ahead of me.... after 20 minutes of waiting, i went to the counter and asked where my food was. Then after 30 ...minutes i asked where my food was and Barbara said she called my number and i picked it up. She gave my food to someone else because she did not check his order ticket. I told her she may have called my number but it was not me who picked it up. The cook then said he would recook my order. It was ready 10 minutes later. No apologies of any kind... This rude woman Barbara is a female slow joe biden...You need to get rid of her...she is bad for customer service and business. She is just an evil sour old woman...ack !

Other than the rude old woman, this is a great place under the new ownership...and the other employees are great...

My wife and I stop by here once a week for good tasting made to order burger, fries and Pepsi. Simple no frills but hot and tasty food. Been here long time. Nostalgic

I love What-​A-​Burger. My parents have been coming here since their youth as well. So has my grandma for that matter!
I love this place, the staff is nice and almost everything is done by hand. As you order if you want a hamburger (no cheese) for example, call it a «What a burger» if you want everything on it say you want it «all the way». If you want cheese on that its a «cheeseburger all the way». It’s their system and you pick it up after a visit or two. They write down your order by hand and give you a sticky note with your order number and the women working in the back are visibly grilling the patties and assembling your food. The food is worth the wait and while you wait you may happen to notice how long they’ve been around by the old pictures on the wall. They do not have indoor seating but they do have outdoor picnic tables in the back. This place is an old fashioned burger joint. A gem like so few that are still around today, I treasure this place.
Now let me talk about the food! The burgers are good quality, greasy, delicious and are a good size for the cost. It can not be compared to a fast food chains like McDonald’s or Wendy’s and etc

I really liked the simplicity of this place! It’s definitely nothing fancy, but the food and service is awesome. You’ll have to take your food with you or eat in your car as there’s no where to sit and eat, but when you’re on the go that works just fine :)
I posted the menu photo so you guys can see how much they are :)

I haven’t eaten here in about two years, since prior to going gluten free. I did like the food, though. I lived in Orlando, Florida and went to the Whataburger on John Young Parkway with my husband at least once a week. We always ordered the barbecue bacon burger (#5) and a pie. I remember how the staff would sing and dance as they went about their work, it was almost comical.
This is not that. It is an old, tiny, cramped building with no tables inside to speak of. You place your order to the staff, who is behind glass. Some are friendly, some are not. What is interesting is that many of them have worked there for 40+ years (Whataburger must have killer benefits!) if you like other Whataburgers, you will like the food here. Count on eating in your car if it’s cold out. But also count on the same delicious (for fast food) food that makes it Whataburger.

These burgers are the greatest burgers I’ve ever eaten. The service was slow and the price was to high for the quality of the food. Id rather eat at McDonalds

I really don’t understand at all the good reviews. This is the worst place I’ve ever been to. Just an oversized cheap bun, shredded lettuce, chopped up onions that fall out of the bun, and one nasty tomato and a pickle. I opened it up to look, and the thin small preformed pattie was in crumbled pieces. it was so frail and crumbly that the burger pieces kept falling out of the bun. The fries were just crappy store bought and a toaster oven would have made them taste better. Maybe.
I’m not even a picky person, so am quite appalled at the people who say this is good. Needless to say, we might as well have tossed our money out the window, or used it to buy frozen microwave food from walmart, it would have all tasted the same, and been cheaper. Hmm, maybe that’s where they get their supplies, at the walmart behind them.
Do yourself a favor, take your money to a mom and pop that has pride of ownership, I think these people need to retire.
Also, no health dept. rating on the window, which was a bit gross.

Place was. Meh. After reading reviews I had high expectations. Run down place seems like if they were so great they would sell enough burgers to improve the place. More bread than anything on the burger. Meat was über thin for the $ 3.15 paid. French fries are crinkle cut and not cooked enough. Sign outside said $ 6.18 for a combo. Lady was not friendly and did not mention a combo. Service was fast. I’m sticking to cook out for friendliness, good burgers, and value.

Cute place that does burgers the old fashioned way. They grill your food in front of you. Even checkout and payment is done the old fashioned way. So cute and delicious

The ONLY place I will eat a hamburger. Not 5 Guys, not at a family cookout, not some other chain fast food restaurant. I crave this place & I highly recommend. It is a «hole in the wall» not that it should matter! Please note that the only place to eat is in your car, but don’t let that or the location turn you away!

The place was OK. No where to sit inside. You have to order and sit outside on in your car. The menu selection wasnt much to choose from.
Location is a bit run down. And located in a very busy intersection.
Prices were cheap.
Food was alright, nothing extra-​extraordinaire.

I really enjoyed the food and service!!! I’m still thinking of the burgers and strawberry shake!!! This place beats out any burger fast food chain!!!

Not sure if I can find new words for this place. I cannot say, comparison wise, that a Hamburger is a Hamburger, because that would imply something out of McDonald’s/Wendy’s/Burger King could compare to Five Guys.
Or to Whataburger.
Here locally, here at Whataburger, Smitty’s, Doumar’s, Rubens (in Danville) and the Queen Anne Dari-​Snack (in Williamsburg), you have what mom and pop hamburger places used to be. When it was small operations, that put out better than average food, at decent prices. You went there, ate, hung around with your friends, and had a good time. At one time, these places covered the whole of our country. And of our lives.
Now, the chains, with their fix it cheaper and faster to make maximum profit mindset, with the quality of the food totally being discarded, rule the choices that people with short sided dining outlooks make.
Clowns and red headed girls hawking food that has no basis in reality, when you see what they advertise and what you actually unwrap. Think of the difference between mayonnaise and mud.
I know that there are reasons (maybe you have a car load of kids and cannot afford quality, over price) that these decisions are made. But, for the life of me, unless you are late to your own funeral, and are slam out of time, I cannot fathom why anyone would drive past Whataburger (or the examples above) to eat elsewhere. To do so is a shame.
Yeah. It is just a touch pricey. And their fries are hit and miss, mostly miss. But their burgers are what a hamburger should be. Big, sloppy, right off of the grill hot, full of flavor. Heaven by the handful. And chances are, that the woman who cooks your food, or serves you has been an employee there for decades.
One of these days, these guys, and Smitty’s and Ruben’s, and Doumar’s, and the Queen Anne Dari-​Snak will eventually be closed. Families that run them, will die off. The Land re-​zoned. Whatever… (Whataburger has survived, in spite of what appears to be Walmart’s best effort to hide their presence [oh. The gigantic Walmart sign that blocks the view of Whataburger’s sign is an accident?].)
If you like the clown food or perhaps the red headed girls food, or whatever chain, lights up your life, by all means, enjoy. Until there is a Five Guys (or In-​and-​Out Burger) on the site of ever torn down McDonalds and Wendy’s, this is where I will go to get one of the best mom and pop burgers, I could ever ask for.
As I have said before, life is too short to eat bad pizza. And it is damned sure too short to eat clown burgers.
Highly recommended.

tasty, but took a long time for the burger.
