Biggest problem I see with Whataburger is the wild variation in quality from location to location. With some franchises consistency is a given. Not with Whataburger. They range from exceptional to inedible

Was thinking about giving the Whataburger chit show another try today for lunch. Luckily I talked myself out of it when I remembered the other mom and pop joints that serve better food for the same price.

The young’s at watabooger were the ones too stupid to get a simple, politely placed order correct. I mean, it isn’t anything close to difficult to put an order of fries in a bag
But yes, expecting fries with an ordered meal is a bit over the top grumpy of me, I should be more understanding

BK sucks. I have not eaten there since my son quit hunting with me. We stopped in Glen Rose because it was convenient and he likes the chicken sandwich. Now I stop at Bush,s in Hamilton or Lampassas. Stopped in Hamilton last weekend and it was not as good as the one in Lampassas but Lampassas location is always very busy. When the the Bush's in Hamilton closed due to drug dealing I tried DQ. Never again will I get DQ chicken strips.

Generally speaking places are about as good as the pool of labor in their markets. It is what it is.

I like the one in Weatherford, down the road in hudson oaks ain't good. Not a lot of people living around hudson oaks gonna work at whataburger. The ones in east texas like Jacksonville, rusk, Kilgore have always been good when I stopped, granbury is terrible, stephenville not bad, Palestine good, all chains are hit and miss based on this. There ain't a place in Brownwood i will eat at for example.

I never got a bad Whataburger at the one by Bass Pro Grapevine, but it has been a couple years since I have been there, may be bad now.

So we have been going to watabooger a few times, the first time we went a few months ago it was actually quite good, the burger was stout, like a picture. We went tonite and apparently they have a new diabetic special. You order and pay for a double meat watabooger and a large fry and you actually get a single watabooger with a soggy arsed bun and no fries at all. After picking off the wet arsed bun and not having any fries I probably saved quite a few carbs. On the bright side, my wife’s order was correct. I am now placing this shizzhole eatery back on the no fly list, you can have it. Did you by chance drive too far and end up in Rowlett? If you did, I can say that you were lucky that it even resembled a burger. Usually the ones I get look to have been curb stomped and left under a refrigerator overnight.

I purchased my last Where's-tha-burger last week. It was actually a WB Junior and it still took them over 15 minutes to serve me a cold, over cooked piece of junk. I used to really love their burgers but since the new owners have taken over the meat has gotten so thin they can't even cook it without it falling apart. There are 2 tomato seeds on the meat patty for a size reference. So you order the little burger and you are complaining you got a little burger. Makes perfect sense..... No, the little burger is what I expected. I just expected the meat to be just a little bit thicker than deli sliced ham and burnt to a crisp on the edges.

This thread should be pulled for being un Texan. Its shameful and disgusting. Any minute someone will like a chain that smears 1000 island dressing on a burger. Make it stop...... I have NEVER gotten a burger from "that" place that looked like someone smashed it with a mallet. Also the lines there block traffic at lunch so seems like its popular.... I know a place (rhymes with what a murr-ger) that ALWAYS looks like someone stomped on their burger with a boot out of anger prior to serving it... and the fries are ALWAYS ice cold. They also block traffic at lunch but its the same 10 cars who have been waiting in line for 40 mins for a smashed burger and cold fries. Have you considered the possibility you've been blacklisted from our Texas Shrine due to these slanderous remarks? WAWI is connected in the restaurant industry and all it takes is a couple of keystrokes and your burger will be stomped on, spat on and crack wiped until he feels you've made amends. There's a reason folks wait in line for Chick Fil A and Whataburger but Yanks, Dems and Nay-Sayers will never know it. What do we need to do to get this moved to the Bunker for such offensive language? Isn't Whataburger a Northern Owned company and not a Texas Company?

The most consistent one that is decent to good is in Mineola. Have yet to have a bad experience there food wise and I really am not a Whataburger fan.
