For years, people have told me that I need to go to whataburger because they have the best burgers in the area. I finally went and I have to say that this was the WORSE burger I’ve ever had.
First, I had to wait for over 35 minutes for just a burger and shake. When I walked in, there were about 10 people standing in that tiny kitchen and only one person was actually doing anything. There were only 4 or 5 people waiting for food , so it wasn’t that busy.
Second, the patty on this burger looked like it was sitting under a heat lamp for hours before it was put on the bun, but it was cooked to order so I’m not sure how they ruined it so bad. The meat patty tasted like leather.
Third, the waiting area could use some cleaning and new paint. It just seemed really dirty.
I’ve been disappointed by a meal before, but no meal has ever actually made me angry. This one did. I think I was angry mostly because I had to wait so long for this trash.
I usually give a new place a second chance but this burger was so bad that there is no way I can ever eat there again.

I have been eating at this place for at least 40 years. The wait time can be long because they cook the food as ordered.
The only seating is picnic tables in the back of the parking lot. There is a covering above, but if the weather is unpleasant you will want to eat in your vehicle.
Definitely, stop and give them a try. It's worth it.

The place didn’t look like much from the outside nor the inside once I entered. Yet, the staff (woman with pink hair) was welcoming and polite. I noticed her greeting and saying farewell to everyone who entered and left. She took our order (which was REALLY PRICED WELL) and we waited for the food to be made fresh. The burgers were made well, tasted great and I was more than pleased. Their fries were good too. They need more of these on my side of town!!

This place is a no nonsense burger joint, and it's a treasure to all who have lived here a while. I grew up with their burgers and they always taste amazing, no big fat burgers you can't even wrap your mouth around, they're wide the way a burger should be and they're incredibly delicious. It isn't often I'm this far out to get them, but when I'm heading this direction you bet your boots I'm stopping there for some cheeseburgers all-the-way!

Ew. I’ve seen this place for years since I was a kid and decided to get it on DoorDash. Big mistake. The burger was a 7/10 decent. I got an order of chili fries and an order of cheese fries. Ew THE MOST DISGUSTING FRIES EVERRRR, THE CHEESE FRIES HAD A WATERED DOWN Weird TASTE, but the chili fries made me gag it had such a weird smell to them. when I first smelled them absolutely disgusting, I ate one chili cheese I deeply regretted it. Super disgusting. Save yourself your time and money and don’t bother ordering but if you do just get a burger and NO fries.
