As a Texan, they're overrated as fuck. Charge you an arm & a leg for cheese on the burgers, then they make you pay for cheese on chorizo & eggs tacos even if you don't want it (which no one in their right minds would put cheese on a chorizo & eggs taco). Still have all the other fast food problems too, so even a half-decent item is still a 50:50 for being an absolute shit waste of money because some degenerate took out his shitty life on your order. They also got rid of the mushroom & swiss, which was their best item. Oh, and their chili they had on specialty items a bit ago? Have you ever had *dry* chili? Fucking disgusting. Lately the only thing they've had for their limited time item... fucking bacon. That's it.
Fuck wataburger, you overrated pieces of shit. Disastrous consequences for the human race. They're number 2 on my fastfood shitlist. At least I'm still not expected to tip at their drive-thru like Starbucks.
weird... I'm 40 and lived in texas until I was 8. I miss Whataburger. When I tell northern people about how good it is, I say, "when I was a kid McDonalds and BK gave away toys and I still preferred Whataburger"
they didn't give away toys in my timeline. or my parents lied
moderately overrated
better than national/international fast food places like McDonalds but worse than In-N-Out, Five Guys, Shake Shack, etc.
t. just moved to Austin and have all of the regional burger places here
Whataburger at least has regional charm. I don't know other places where I can get chicken tenders with gravy or actually decent rodeo burgers.
I can't make much of a better comparison for modern Whataburger, though, since I've been stuck with McDonald's and Wendy's in rural Ohio for 3-4 years.
There is a well-run one in Clyde, TX that is worth the stop. Went to one this weekend in Southaven, MS and it was ok. "OK" is apparently a pretty high bar for Southaven. I went into two places with a "B" health grade.
Went to a Burger King where I took a piss, then the sink handle came off in my hand. Was gonna buy a bottle of water or something to pay for the use of the facilities, and a sheboon croaked "We drive-thru only" at me. Nice of them to open the lobby so I could piss, I guess.
Had a decent po'boy at a place called Red Anchor. It seemed to have mostly black staff but they were higher functioning. Lot of filth, lots of run-down places, lots of empty warehouses with empty docks. If that's what your town looks like, the Whataburger isn't likely to be anything special either.
Neither would I. That place is a family establishment, an American icon. I just like to take people their and make them watch me eat 12 sunny side up eggs (the build you own grandslam with 2 eggs for the 4 options, then use both additional add-on options for 2 more eggs each)
You can do that at your own private domicile with your own eggs without having to pay 15.99+tax and also it would be a safer environment (to shoot up heroin)
If it weren't for people like me going to Dennys, then people like you would feel safe to. Take you and ur Gucci heroin to IHOP, ya pussy. Bet the cook at IHOP doesn't even keep narcan in his car. At Dennys, they care, & the dbl cheeseburger(add extra patty) with seasoned fries is the best chain burger this side the mason-dixon

Hehe. This reads like a Scorsese parody. I enjoyed it.
overrated, but better than any other fast food place in the country, and better than a lot of sit down places too, really just better than anything under a michelin starred restaurant.
Reigns far above any other chain, even the "good" ones. They're the best and most reliable. That said, its mythical status is somewhat overblown and lots of people feel like the quality has slipped since it got sold. One thing I'd like to see is a bit of menu diversification. Like how Wendy's has a baked potato or you can get white rice at Jack in the Crack. Also, the app needs some work. There are lots of things you can't specify on there, like fries or patty with no salt / seasoning.
Their Chili Cheese burger is truly a monster of a burger, i've been eating burgers and fast food my whole life but that burger is the first one that makes it hard to eat completely and it really fucks up your stomach, its so good though
Went to shit after the family who owned them sold out to some ~~*corporate investment firm*~~. Within months they were slashing costs by reducing the quality and then jacked up the prices.
They're better than in-n-out. Whataburger has sizeable meat patties meanwhile I-N-O have small Micky D's sized double hamburger patties. The best thing about I-N-O is their lower prices, but that's about it.
Whataburger doesn't melt their cheese and pays minimum wage. In N Out is far better. There is no comparison and I say this as someone who despises California
Well I don't get cheese on my burgers so I don't give a fuck about that. Plus I don't work there so I don't have to worry about the pay. I just know their HAMBURGERS (no cheese) is superior and much larger than I-N-O's puny burgers.
it's just like every fast food place
when it's hot and fresh and they aren't using 6 months old oil to cook the fries in it hits the spot
when it's been sitting under a hot light for 2 hours it's trash
I either get the patty melt or the jalapeno burger with a large fry and Hispanicy ketchup
they have decent breakfast too, I get either biscuits and gravy or their honey butter biscuit
if you get in n out with mustard in lieu of their burger sauce, the differences between them and whataburger are negligible. in n out fries are off. not sure how to describe them. whataburger fries are pretty much like MagDonna's fries
5 guys is expensive and bland. they do have awesome fries.
>in n out fries are off. not sure how to describe them
In-n-Out uses Kennebec potatoes for their fries, and they're just not a good frying potato. I've been to local places that use the same potatoes, and their fries have the same problems.
Not a damn thing. They're all better than McDonald's, but if you're eating there it's probably not because you're looking to go out of your way, and they're not really worth going out of your way for, so you're not missing anything
It really depends on the store. Some are on point, some are not. The general rule for Whataburger is if it's busy it's good, but that can also be deceiving. Sometimes when they suck they can look busy because it takes forever and cars back up.
In the last two years though the quality has gone down. They changed their onion rings and a few other little things oh and their chicken is shit.
overrrated by texans, underrated by non-texans. far better than mcdicks, burgerkuck, wendys and whoever, slightly worse than 5 guys but cheaper, equal to in n out but bigger and slightly more expensive. open 24 hours is a plus so overall can't complain and im happy there is one near me
I dont know we dont have them in my country, probably overrated
I mean, it's just greasy fast food.
But given the choice, I'd happily take Whataburger over any of the other chains.
They are a singular step above Wendy's.
What makes Whataburger good is that they are a 24H fast food spot.
My typical 4AM order
>Chili-cheese burger meal w/ onion ring and strawberry malt shake
>2 Sausage taquitos - ranchero style

>tip at their drive-thru like Starbucks.
do u naggers really tip Starbucks? Lmao
No, but Starbucks employees expect it, even at the drive-thru, so I just don't go there anymore.
When I was a kid, in the 90's, they had the fucking best kids meal toys. I got a fuckin' Ultrahand from there once.
Found a pic, apparently they were giving these out in 96.
weird... I'm 40 and lived in texas until I was 8. I miss Whataburger. When I tell northern people about how good it is, I say, "when I was a kid McDonalds and BK gave away toys and I still preferred Whataburger"
they didn't give away toys in my timeline. or my parents lied
Love the patty melt, order one every single time I go.
Used to be my favorite. Ive had too many with raw onions that are green and taste like shit. It's not what I want to spend 8 fucking dollars one
Never had ot with raw onion, It comes with grilled onions when I get it. Sometimes the burger doesnt have enough of that creamy sauce and I get sad.
moderately overrated
better than national/international fast food places like McDonalds but worse than In-N-Out, Five Guys, Shake Shack, etc.
t. just moved to Austin and have all of the regional burger places here
Slightly overrated, but they got hurt when Whataburger got acquired by a Chicago investment firm. Great Texas food, now they're a good regional chain.
>In-N-Out, Five Guys
Overrated and overpriced, respectively
>>In-N-Out, Five Guys

not wrong but both are better than Whataburger

>regional charm
kek. yeah whatagarbage is shit tier.
>chicken tenders with gravy
Dairy Queen, oddly enough.
With Toast too.
But I haven't had them in probably 15 years so I couldn't tell you what the quality is like these days.
>>Five Guys
>overpriced
That's for damn sure.
They are legit good, but holy shit for that money I could get a burger at a proper sit-down restaurant.
There is a well-run one in Clyde, TX that is worth the stop. Went to one this weekend in Southaven, MS and it was ok. "OK" is apparently a pretty high bar for Southaven. I went into two places with a "B" health grade.

Most 5 goys I've seen some even have drive-thrus. If I gotta go in somewhere to get a burger I'd rather go to Denny's
>Dennys
Ewwwww...
Maybe, but the one I go to makes amazing burgers. Their chef really knows how to microwave a good patty.
I wouldn't go to Dennys to shoot up heroin dude.
Neither would I. That place is a family establishment, an American icon. I just like to take people their and make them watch me eat 12 sunny side up eggs (the build you own grandslam with 2 eggs for the 4 options, then use both additional add-on options for 2 more eggs each)

Hehe. This reads like a Scorsese parody. I enjoyed it.
Overrated, but still better than in n out and five guys
Not all Waterburgers are created equal. When they're good, they hit the spot.
Extremely overrated but I do make a point to go there anytime I'm in Texas
overrated, but better than any other fast food place in the country, and better than a lot of sit down places too, really just better than anything under a michelin starred restaurant.
The burgers are overrated, the diarrhea was underrated.

Mine have always been a tiny bit of chili and a fuck ton of fritos. So it's just a retardedly dry burger.
what state you in? because its the opposite here
Deep in the heart of Texas.
They were properly rated before they got bought out. Now it's overrated.
it's slightly better burger king, wasn't impressed
Went to shit after the family who owned them sold out to some ~~*corporate investment firm*~~. Within months they were slashing costs by reducing the quality and then jacked up the prices.
Whataburger is proof that Texans have absolutely shit taste. It’s really no better than mcdonalds or burger king
You saying that is proof you have shit taste. Whataburger tastes nothing like either McDonald's or BK. I'm not even a Texan.
They're better than in-n-out. Whataburger has sizeable meat patties meanwhile I-N-O have small Micky D's sized double hamburger patties. The best thing about I-N-O is their lower prices, but that's about it.
Whataburger > In-N-Out

whataburger sucks but they're 24x7 so there's that. better than mcdonalds and the like at least
They got rid of the mushroom and swiss. Fuck them.
it's just like every fast food place
when it's hot and fresh and they aren't using 6 months old oil to cook the fries in it hits the spot
when it's been sitting under a hot light for 2 hours it's trash
I either get the patty melt or the jalapeno burger with a large fry and Hispanicy ketchup
they have decent breakfast too, I get either biscuits and gravy or their honey butter biscuit
neither. they are definitely better than any other fast food burger joint out there.
Overrated but still hands down the best fast food burger place and pretty much the only one I can think of with realistic prices.
for me? I always get the patty melt meal with a bang's. don't forget the Hispanicy 'chup!
I have never had
>whataburger
>5 guys
>in n out
what am I missing out on?
if you get in n out with mustard in lieu of their burger sauce, the differences between them and whataburger are negligible. in n out fries are off. not sure how to describe them. whataburger fries are pretty much like MagDonna's fries

Literally never seen one aside from like one in the midwest I never went to so can't really say
