I knew it was far superior to McDonald's and most other Fast Food joints, but I didn't get the Whataburger worship over places like In and Out or Chick Fil A. I post this because I gave some of you guys a lot of hell for being fans of what I thought was unimpressive product given how unhealthy and bland I thought it was.

On an extended road trip, I visited a Whataburger and ordered this:



If you are traveling and need a clean place to stop and eat, this thing is totally worth the calories. The ingredients were fresh, the service was good, the price was very reasonable, and the staff was very friendly (Ridgeland, MS). The restaurant was clean and people wore masks in the common areas....but you weren't harassed if you forgot to wear one like I did once.

I still think Buckee's is over rated, but I am now on board with the Whataburger fanfare.

Whataburger staff is usually pretty good with customer service. They make more mistakes than chick fila but they have more chance at errors with a bigger menu. Only time they let ms down was with no burger patty on a number 5 once. I called corporate as I was 40 minutes down the interstate when I realized it. Wasnt adding 1.5 hours to the road trip. They sent me a gift card for 30 bucks

That's my go to. If I try something else, I'll ask them to add jalapenos.

Yeah, I've never had bad service at Whataburger. They seem to do a good job hiring managers and employees that care.

And I love their patty melt.

Whataburger has gone to shite since their sale to the Chicago investment firm in 2019.

I remember Whataburger from high school days in Virginia and it was the best burger I have ever tasted, even to this day. In those days, it was a simple menu with the burger, cheese burger and wonderful fries. The best for sure.

Apology accepted. My kids really like it. McDonalds is for McNuggets - burgers come from Whataburger.

They had a sign up in the drive thru for a spicy chicken sandwich that looked appetizing.

You waited 40 minutes before eating your burger? Do you like cold burgers?

I have never heard of Milo's. I looked them up and it looks like just in Alabama. I'm outside Atlanta. Stuck with 5 guys..

That’s a horrible toppings to meat ratio.
