I love Whataburger. Awesome cheeseburgers. Best milkshakes that fast food can offer. However my fries were ice cold this visit. For that, I must take away a star, cold fries are nasty. The drive through person acted a bit goofy when trying to sell me extra items and saying "yum yum" after everything I ordered. I guess it was funny... More

Generous sized burgers and good onion rings. The man at the drive thru window was an amusing salesman, throwing in a "you want shredded cheese on that taco, only $0.50 make taste yum yum" and a "how about an apple or lemon pie? Only $0.99, YUM YUM". He made my daughter and I laugh so I had to say yes!

Can't go to South Padre Island without going to Whataburger. My husband loves the Patty Melt. Consistent food quality.

Decent fast food with a better variety of entrees /meals than McD and service in your seat! If you have never been to this chain its worth it if for no other reason than to hear... More

Tried Whataburger a few times since we've been in Southern Texas, and find it to be a cut above McDonalds, in service, customer appreciation, and quality if food. The burgers were very tasty, although a bit salty for my liking. Portions are large, so you get good value for your dollar. Very clean and very friendly/ helpfull staff. We ordered... More

This was our first time at W and we are converts. We were most impressed by the friendliness and good manners of the team. The food was fresh and hot. We had the bacon cheeseburger meal and the whataburger meal. Both came with "Medium" fries and drink. Anywhere else these portions are large so beware, plenty of food here. If... More

The Watta burger in South Padre has been renovated so it's very clean. The service is rapid and they understand your order contrary to the other fast food of the island. The hamburger meat is good but the bread is like one reheated in the microwave. I have a hard time with that. The onion rings are not crispy and... More
