Whataburger

Sorry, I live in CA. Never had Whataburger, had to see what all the fuss was about. Well, I found out. It was OK at best. In & Out runs circles around Whataburger. Sorry TX.

Whataburger is the bomb. So much so that I almost wrote ‘da bomb’…let’s be real here.
Burgers are cooked fresh when you order them so they can accommodate any preference in toppings. They don’t microwave your food here (like McDonald’s or other large chain burger joints) which just makes it even better. The downside to that is that you will work because your food isn’t sitting under a heat lamp waiting for you to order it. it’s a hard life, isn’t it? Fresh food for a few minutes of a wait. They’re greasy bastards but muy delicioso!
Ice cream is a pretty solid purchase as well. I am a huge fan of malts but have a hard time finding places that can get all the malt powder mixed in but never an issue here. One off the menu treat you might enjoy is a pie a la mode. The lemon pie or the apple pie warmed up and put in a cup of ice cream. Holy moly. You’ve never had a small pie until you’ve done that!
Breakfast ‘taquitos’ tacos are a really great way to start off your morning. Grab some salsa, slather it on, and dig in. The more grease that’s dripping from said taco, the better it is for your arteries… at least that’s what I’ve heard ;)
Whataburger ketchup is my all time favorite. I keep bottles of it in my pantry and that is no lie. I don’t ever seem to live near a W location so my mom mails me some and I keep them stocked. She’s a damn good woman for that and I swear I’m always extra nice to her around Mother’s Day for my ketchup stock (and because she birthed me. I mean, that was nice of her, too.)
French fries are great, too. They’re salted so well and aren’t overly thick. When taking Whataburger to go, they rarely make it to the house… ‘Oh, I must have forgot to buy your order of fries! So sorry!’ *sneakily throws away french fry package*
This location specifically is new so it’s got all the delicious goodies I’ve come to know and love plus friendly and fun employees. They’re pretty quick and I haven’t had a bad experience with them.

So, I asked my friends from TX what «Whataburger» is, and they all replied «it’s great — you gotta try it!»
Was in DFW for a conference, and decided I would try it before leaving. I had the #1 — a Whataburger — no tomatoes. I should have also asked my friends what it’s known for, because what I found is that I will forever know it for MUSTARD. The burger was doused in mustard. I am not a fan of burgers doused in mustard. A little for flavor, fine. Yuk. Anyway; the French fries were delicious! Not too salty, but just a little pinch to make the taste decadent.
I would try it again; I liken it to In-​n-​out burger, in regards to the type of joint it is. Next time, please hold the pickles, tomatoes, and the mustard.
