The fandom is so strong that it extends beyond the drive-through, with fans adorning themselves in the chain's signature orange-and-white merchandise. The Whatastore offers a variety of Whataburger-themed items such as pajamas, slippers, socks, sweaters, drinkware, a Mexican card game, a food truck kit, playing cards, a pickleball set, a board book, golf accessories, hats, a Dip Trip gadget, and T-shirts. These items make for ideal gifts for Whataburger enthusiasts, available throughout the year and especially during the holiday season." - Brittany Britto Garley

This Whataburger location on Shoreline Blvd is truly one of a kind. The two-story building adds a unique touch, making it stand out from your typical fast-food spot. The upstairs dining area offers a fantastic view of the ocean, creating a relaxing and scenic atmosphere that makes your meal even more enjoyable. Whether you’re dining inside or sitting by the windows, the view of the water is absolutely breathtaking. As for the food, it was everything you’d expect from Whataburger—hot, fresh, and delicious. The burgers were cooked perfectly, with juicy patties and all the fresh toppings layered just right. The fries were crispy and golden, and everything tasted like it was just made to order. The combination of great food, friendly service, and an unbeatable location makes this Whataburger a must-visit if you’re in Corpus Christi. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or just want to enjoy a meal with an ocean view, this spot delivers on every level!

💯 out of 10 blew my mind! Loved ❤️ the service. The cashier is patient and kind. Whataburger never disappoints! The buttered buns add the perfect touch, giving every bite a rich, savory flavor that melts in your mouth. The burgers are always fresh, juicy, and packed with deliciousness. On top of that, the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the experience even better. Whether you're craving a late-night bite or a satisfying meal anytime, Whataburger is the place to go!

Eating a Whataburger meal on the Bayfront of Corpus Christi TX is always a treat, not just for the good meal, but for the beautiful scenery the Bayfront offers local folks, as well as visitors & tourists. The upper balcony makes for a nice view of the Bayfront, especially after sunset.

Good! We went during busy times and some of our orders were messed up; the workers weren’t hesitant to fix it and even gave us extra! The kids meal burger is a great portion too.

I am a big Whataburger fan and this did not disappoint! This is the only two story with soda and seating on both! There is a balcony overlooking the water AND the staff is very nice. Would definitely stop here and see the one and only. It’s a little bit extra but that’s why we love it!

The restaurant was clean employees were super polite and friendly. All smiling. All seemed happy to help everyone. The food was fantastic. My onion rings were a little overcooked but still tasted great! The view is quite amazing but if you sit upstairs like we did, it's even better!

Even with it crazy busy my food was quick and right! The view was great too!

I use the app to order but it's so unorganized.. I kept telling them my name and ordered online app... They kept asking what number Whataburger have to do better for the app have a better system.. like numbers on tables to let the employees know where to bring the food.. something order on app give me number to pick up or something

Ever thought to yourself "Dang, I love Whataburger, but I wish there were some way to make it even better..."? That'd be this Whataburger. They put it near the ocean and made it TWO-STORIES. While my husband and I were in Corpus Christi, we got a hankering for a chocolate shake. We went here, ordered downstairs, and then shared it upstairs. There's even balcony space so you can take in the view of the horizon! Great for photo ops for Whataburger fans. The food and the service are all comparable to any other Whataburger, obvs. But go for the uniqueness this one has to offer architecturally and geographically speaking!

Eating at the original Whataburger location in Corpus Christi is in itself an experience. Overlooking the Gulf from the second floor is a plus. The ambiance at this place is one of respectful history. There are two stories to this building with an elevator. Food was great! Our food was hot, as I like it! The service is spot on. They come to your table with a tray full of condiments for you to pick out. This is a nice touch. The staff uses the stairs to bring the food. Daily exercise completed. LOL!

It's Whataburger (by the bay!). I normally do not think much of reviews of fast food restaurants. They are always an aggregate poor rating, which is what one could expect of any fast food joint. However, Whataburger has a special place in my big blue Texas heart. And this is a very special Whataburger for many reasons. For one, it is its flagship location in its hometown of Corpus Christi. Secondly, it has a beautiful view of the Corpus Christi Bay! I have always *loved* Whataburger, well before I started eating better. And once I did start eating more selectively (for health), Whataburger was one of the first to start making it easy to order from their menu à la carte. I can now easily get a pile of meat and eggs on the go, and on the cheap! A lot of folks in Texas were up in arms a few years back when it went from local family owned to having sold majority ownership to a Chicago investment firm in a bid to expand. From what I can tell, not much has changed since then with respect to menu or company values. My perspective is the more *Texas* we can spread around the country, the better. Anyway, whether you want to eat better or not, Whataburger is so insanely good. There used to be a debate on whether In-N-Out was a better chain - in my mind, there is a clear champion!

Ordered from Grubhub, and they left it on the porch without knocking or ringing. Pretty sure the grubhub people don't work for WB, so that doesn't reflect in the score, but something to keep in mind if you order by that. I had an excellent burger here, but a plain and dry burger is difficult to mess up. Boneless buffalo wings are tasty, too. The fries were cold and soggy. Grubhub leaving it on the porch might've contributed, but since the wings were still hot I'm pretty sure the fries were cold before leaving the restaurant. My wife had a grilled cheese, and it seemed they forgot to grill it. The sandwich was cold but the cheese also wasn't even melted.

The food was epic and the view was amazing! I recommend this whataburger out of all the whataburgers in corpus

What is that nasty sauce Whataburger is putting on they're grilled chicken sandwich? It's like a fondue cheese sauce and they slather so much of it on the sandwich that it oozes out and smears on everything in the area!! Instead of the three napkins you get with your order, they need to hand out a roll of paper towels. Whataburger used to be great and I am proud of its Texas heritage but that sauce is a no go!!

Prime example of how terrible Whataburger is. Order placed at 8:06 and it says order will be ready at 8:18 on the long end. So we arrive at around 8:17 and they take care of the one person at the counter. Then the team members walk away and I am left at the counter until about 8:20 or so and somebody finally helps me and i verify dine in (same as i did on the app). They pull up my order and provide a number and a receipt and i wait until 8: 28 and i ask about my food that was supposed to be ready 10 minutes ago. The lady gets my food that is in bags to go (that was for dine in verified on the app and in person) and apologizes. We proceed to eat our semi warm food and colder burgers with stale buns. I told the wife before we went here this is my final chance on whataburger since this is the "original" one and should be one of the best. However, this location is just as shitty as practically all other locations with me having to wait excessively for food that is not fresh. Born and bred North Texan here and i don't understand the hype. If i were to get fresh food from Whataburger i would like it. The fact this place is more expensive than other fast food places and i consistently get poor quality/temperature/accurate orders than elsewhere. They claim they cook to order but i can say for certain this is not accurate and I am served old and cold (barely warm at best) burgers . In N' Out is far superior to Whataburger. I have NEVER been served food that is not fresh or having good quality ingredients there. I will no longer give Whataburger my business as they make me wait for old/not fresh food.

This will be the forth visit at the Whataburger by the bay (Unit 313). The first time visiting was in 2019, a dream come true, it was rainy but the visit experience was grand, mostly cuz the excitement we build up wanting to visit this place while on vacation. The second time we came was early 2022, we had a similar experience for my 3 boys that came with me and they had a blast! This last experience (the third visit) was last night for an online order. The service was excellent and friendly, hot fresh food and good ambience. The current experience is for breakfast, service is excellent as expected, we got hot food and since it's a sunny day we are sitting outside, the temperature is warm, we hear the music out here and we had our food brought to us! I see a lot of reviews where it's held to such a high standard and expectations, and if it does it gets a crazy 1star review. Come in, expect good service and you won't be disappointed, come in, drive-thru, or wait at the curbside and they will bring you the food!

TLDR; THE MOST PHOTOGENIC WHATABURGER If you find yourself in Corpus Christi doing the Selena stops then you have to do one of Corpuses. Corpus Christi is the birth place of WHATABURGER and this is the iconic two story WHATABURGER by the Bay. It is a less than 10min walk from the Selena Memorial but aside from that it has seating outside on the second floor that oversees the Bay. If you're going to get WHATABURGER while in CC go out of your way and go to this local. You won't regret it!

As a die-hard fan of Whataburger, I was super excited to visit this one. A 2-story Whataburger? Say whaaaat? My boyfriend and I were on a day trip to Corpus and we wanted to try another restaurant for dinner, so we only got Whataburger Jr Combos for lunch so that we won't be too full. The price is higher than other locations but it makes sense, this place is almost like a tourist spot. Food tasted the same, nothing too exciting. The service here is friendly and they're quick to replace drinks when it runs out. If you sit upstairs, there is no tea, only a soda fountain. There's the option of elevator or staircase to access the second level. Overall, it was a cool experience but it wasn't anything too special.

Let's be honest. ..if you aren't a Texan, you probably don't love Whataburger. Those that throw Whataburger in the ring with Shake Shack, INO or Fatburger are smitten with nostalgia. If we pit them against the lower tier fast-food burger joints with drive-thrus, I'm conflicted were they'd rank. Culver's, Portillo's, Steak 'n Shake, Checkers. ..hell even White Castle are all regional and better. I think Whataburger is in the same class as Jack in the Box, Sonic and Krystal's. Each being local favorites. As far as the national chains, I'd probably still opt for Wendy's, DQ & Mickey D's. I may concede BK, but not certain. Burger King was pretty good long ago, but went downhill quickly years ago. The fries, spicy ketchup and shakes kept me from rating one star :-\

This was hands down the best hamburger Ive ever had at a Whattaburger it was absolutely perfection and the service was on point. And it is a beautiful restaurant I would drive three hours just to have this burger.

We went through the drive through and the person in line two cut in to line one so they gave me the drinks the other people had touch so I told them I wanted fresh ones also they gave me the bag other people touched when I got the bag and got it home my order was not right the fries were just through in the bag so I called the whataburger on old Brownsville rd and they told me to take the food back and they would remake it mind you I do love close to that particular whataburger so that manager just said there was nothing he could do to make it right if I didn't take the food back right then and there

Flagship Whataburger! This is the finest Whataburger in all the land. This Whataburger is what all other Whataburgers aspire to be like! This place is HUGE. I've never seen a Whataburger so big, so majestic. It's seriously larger than the Double-Meat Whataburger, Whatasized. Corpus Christi used to be the home to Whataburger, until they up and left for greener pastures in San Antonio. I think Corpus is still feeling a bit chapped about that whole relocation thing. Whataburger has always been a great part of this town, being a good corporate citizen. But now they're in San Antonio, because of the airport apparently. This place has a regular menu, no specialty items, which is a bit of a let down. We were hoping for the Dr. Pepper milkshake, but alas, the deal was over. Whataburger got our toppings mixed up on the burgers, but we swapped the tops of the burgers and everyone was happy. I Outwhataburgered my dining companion when I opted for the fries over the onion rings. Whataburger recently got bought out by a Chicago private investment firm! Honey Butter, Please! I just hope those Chicagans don't mess with Texas and change things. I noticed that the cleanliness here could use some work- some of the tables weren't clean, and the floors could use some moppin'. The coolest thing about this flagship location is the second story, where you'll find the mural depicting all the most important flags that have flown over Texas. They've got the Whataburger flag right there in the midst of the 6 flags that flew over Texas. Down stairs be sure to sip your sweet tea on the bench with a sculpture of the founder of Whataburger, Mr. Harmon Dobson. He's there on the bench. It's a good place to wait for your order, because who's going to make a customer wait while they're sitting with the founder of the company?

What a experience! Being from Oort of ttown, I had to try whataburger! I decided to go to the biig one by the shore since it had a greedy city view. I don't know how I feel about mustard in burgers and ketchup on the side. My onion rings were horrible, it tasted like it was fried hard in old oil. Also I got food here twice and my burger bread was soggy. I will give them props for their smoothies. They r sooooo gooooddd.

Service was fantastic. Food net expectations. Despite there being a bit of a rough crowd early in the morning, the cashier was friendly, accommodating, and happy to be there. Would definitely recommend the morning crew!

NOT the reason for the one star, but Please use care when coming to this location. I understand it is a metro area, but there was a homeless man eating out of the trash while we were waiting on our food. I counted at least 5 homeless men they walked in and got cups out of the trash and filled them up at the drink station. Two homeless men walking around and asking for money outside. Im glad they are getting water, but I don't want to eat at a restaurant that feels like a soup kitchen. I gave this place one star because there was only 1 cashier working during rush time lunch time. Took literally 45 to get our food. And it wasn't great. That's all.

Michelle L.

Yelp
I was just there and ordered two combo meals. Both drinks were nothing but carbonated water, both sandwiches were cold and soggy with a ton of mustard and the fries were barely there and soggy. One sandwich had bacon and the bacon was very under cooked and soggy. I couldn't eat it and had to throw it away. Far cry from what they used to be. I won't be back to that location again. Nice scenery, bad food.

This specific location constantly provides cold food and the wrong order EVERY. TIME.

Recently visited this location and was disappointed with the service and cleanliness of the restaurant. They got our order wrong and it also took too long even for Whataburger. When we finally received our food, some of it was cold and they forgot to give us the sauce we requested. After we told the server and she went to get us our sauce, she came back to reprimand us about telling them beforehand about the sauce. We said that we did tell them when ordering. Not only that, but we requested two sauces and they only gave us one so we had to go back ourselves to get the second sauce. This time-consuming process made the food get even colder. Aside from that experience, the restrooms were gross. In the women's restroom 2 out of the 3 stalls said "out of order" and the one stall that did work had toilet paper sitting sky high on one side of the toilet. One of the servers doubled as a janitor which I found odd since there were other servers. The place looks old and needing an update. To say that this is the flagship location, it doesn't look good. I've been here several times before and I always enjoyed it, but I had not been for a few years until recently. It really put us off and now we don't want to come to this location anymore. Why is it like this. Management? Staff? I don't know.

The meat always tastes off. Like old mushrooms. Another place guilty of not changing their grease often enough. It has a distinct flavor (not pleasant) when your grease is old. I tried them more than once. It's just not good.

This restaurant is located in a touristic area and honestly the service is bad, the restaurant is very dirty, food all over the floor, tables dirty. Ordered a chocolate milkshake it was good, my husband ordered a burrito that took more than 15 min to be ready.

Everything tastes as it should. Hot and fast. I wouldn't reccomend sitting upstairs when its busy. Gets kinda crowded up there and with the pandemic going on, that's kinda sketch.

I like Whataburger a lot. While founded in Texas, and in Corpus Christi right on the Gulf of Mexico, it has expanded to the Southeast as well, be it inland, on the Gulf Coast, and in North Florida (read: Jacksonville). Despite being a native Californian, none of my friends and acquaintances talked about In 'N' Out Burger all that much. We would just end up at In 'N' Out no more and no less than at any other chain. In 'N' Out might be the West Coast equivalent of Whataburger in a loose sort of way but I never quite understood salivating over In 'N' Out. Whataburger has the same sort of lore and pull for me ... and possibly for others. However, their menu is much more vast and their business model is therefore different. As such, the compare/contrast probably stops there. Whataburger sort of starts out with a 3.5 stars. I like their simple burgers, their more decked out burgers, their onion rings, and that they have other types of sandwiches. I like that they seem like they were cooked at a backyard barbecue. At this location, I remember that the people working there were polite, that the food arrived quickly, that the prices were fair, and that the restaurant was very clean. However, let me go on about the building. The restaurant's building takes this Whataburger into 4 star terrain. I read some of its history inside the store and this novel Whataburger appears to have been (re)built on the site of the very first one, overlooking the water and the Ts (these fingers into the Gulf with roads) and featuring two levels in a weird A-frame shape with balconies and patios. I can't forget the palm trees, either, but then those are indigenous to that area. Also, go ahead and take photos. This Whataburger is a landmark and an icon. And many others seem to be taking photos of it, too.

Corpus Christi is home of Whataburger and this is the flagship. Eating here is apparently like visiting the first McDonalds except there's no backstabbing and, the burgers have mustard (viva l'difference!), and you can now choose between spicy and regular ketchup. (What is the deal with that ketchup?... it's still crazy good. Is it salt? It must be salt. And sugar.) Now I don't know if Texans understand how good they've had it all these years, but Whataburger is an undeniably good fast food restaurant and this is the flagship, "Whatburger by the Bay." I don't care what all those Californians say about In-N-Out. YOU'RE IN OUR COUNTRY, NOW. (Also, P. Terry's is better than In-N-Out, just saying). The Flagship is worth stopping by. It's novel, being two stories and right by the beachfront. You can feed fries to the seagulls upstairs which seems like a very corpus thing to do. (Don't feed the seagulls (totally feed them fries... you're a tourist, what do you care?)) The food is standard Whataburger fare. It's gonna be good, but there's nothing special at this location. You can feed the whole family on the cheap here and you won't feel bad doing it. Call it a "pilgrimage to whatamecca" and you're destined to be a marketing executive.

Anytime I'm in Texas I have to hit up a Whataburger. I was in Corpus Christi and luckly there was one two blocks from our hotel. The day we left we went to get lunch before our flight. Come to find out this was the site of the very first Whataburger which is pretty cool and it's a two story restaurant with outdoor seating. We sat outside to enjoy the nice day, food and staff were excellent and the manager was even making rounds at the tables offering refills and anything else people needed.

Joshua L.

Yelp
The two-story what a burger in Corpus Christi Texas has to be the filthiest what a burger I have ever seen. I enjoy a good serving of what they have offer just not at this location because not only was the facility filthy the employees were rude and disrespectful and couldn't get a order right if their life depended on it. I don't live in the area and have only dined at this location once so it could've just been a bad day on their end but somehow I imagine it's like this there every day. In any case I will NOT be going back and I would NOT recommend this location to anyone. With a dozen other locations within a short drive there's no need to anyways. You would think being downtown Corpus Christi they would consider higher standards for themselves in such a popular location. Why two stars and not three: a employee refused to let my Nearly 70-year-old mother with debilitating knee injuries use the elevator to access the second floor, shame ON you *Poor *Decent *Good *great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Food. Decent Service. Poor Cleanliness. Poor Value. Decent I realize I'm a food snob, I eat out regularly some weeks 3 to 4 times which in my opinion makes me a bit of an expert on food, service, quality etc. I say it how I see it and I usually will give restaurants at least three chances before I give up on them and in some cases after some time has past I revisit the restaurants to see if anything is changed and my reviews reflect that change.

Yelp
Corpus Christi is known for Whataburger and so is texas. This should be the best Whataburger in the state. Instead it's absolute garbage. The food is never done right. It's always dirty. Instead of the workers doing tiktocs in the drive through. How about putting the cheese in the cheeseburger I ordered. Or some ketchup that I asked for. Just poor service and management all around

This is always my go-to Whataburger! The food is always good and hot and the staff is always super friendly. I had Angelina as my drive-thru worker and she couldn't have been nicer!

Robby Y.

Trending at Whataburger is meals served cold. I guess with the sale they are having to precook food and let it "rest" waiting for an order. The strange thing is the time to get food is the same as if it was fresh. Very sad Whataburger is on the decline.

I went to this Whataburger several time over 4 days will my friends and each time several of our orders were messed up. It was also unclean.

Yelp
The flagship stand that is next to the gulf and two stories high. Drive through and service was great. It's fast food burger that taste just like that but fries were good and shake was average. Again the customer service was great. This is the third time eating Whataburgeris and this does not even compare to in-n-out OR Dans (Austin).

Felicia C.

Yelp
Worst Whataburger ever! I've been twice and both times I've had extremely long wait times in the drive through and it isn't even crowded at all. Girls at the window on their phones and giggling with each other. Waited forever and the order was STILL wrong!

Jon R.

Yelp
This is the first time I've ever rated a fast food chain. Yes, Whataburger has good fast burgers, fries, and chicken strips. I especially like the bacon, egg, cheese taquitos in the morning on the way to work. But this review is about the service provided by the store manager in the morning. She provides incredible service with good attention to detail and personalized service. Today she especially delighted me by taking the time to come out to my vehicle (curb side pickup) and tell me why my food was running late even though I hadn't been at the pickup point for more than 90 seconds. 4 minutes later I had my food. Other fast food chains would've made me wait the 4 minutes without an explanation. I appreciate the great service.

Kimberly L.

Coolest Whataburger ever! Of course you'd expect Whataburger to be amazing in their home town, and boy did they deliver! Our hotel was within walking distance, and we had driven by this place a couple times. Even though we rarely eat at chains while on vacay, we made an exception because 1) Whataburger, and 2) this is a two story Whataburger with a deck that looks out on the marina. Hello gorgeous view! When you go in they ask if you're sitting upstairs or downstairs, which makes sense. The people were super friendly and efficient. And maybe it was just because we were in Corpus but dang this food was so good! I mean, most every Whataburger I've eaten at has been good, but this was like extra good. Like Harmon Dobson was looking down with love as they made the burgers. I also got a shake which I don;t often splurge on but man that was one of the best shakes ever. Yes, ever. We didn't sit outside because it was windy, and the seagulls were fierce, but when we got done, we sat out there while I finished my delicious shake. This was a great place with great food in a great location. That makes me so much of a fan!!

Clayton H.

Yelp
possibly one of the worst service at a whataburger I have ever received, on the day of 10/6/23 we waited a half an hour for a food and so we went to the register and apparently they didn't even make our food so eventually we finally got our food and they still messed up our order, I mean it's just ridiculous how are you gonna have a a statue of Harmon Dobson in the restaurant but then have terrible service unbelievable!

The place is in a great location next to the water. We are from out of town and are just on vacation and wanted to stop here and see what the original Whataburger looked like. This is the 2 story one with the classic A-Frame design. We ordered our food and went upstairs to eat on the balcony. Ordering the food was fast. The cashiers were very prompt and friendly. The food took about 10 minuets to get to us. We were there at around 10 pm so the lighting wasn't the greatest, but the balcony was very dirty. There was only like 5 tables outside, lots of rust on the tables. When the food arrived one of the people in our group opened his burger and the patty was ripped in half. He took it back and was able to get another one on the house. Since this place is located downtown there were a fair amount of homeless people around the building and coming in and out of the restaurant to use the bathroom. I would not feel comfortable going here at night with young children.Not sure what it is like during the daylight. There is a police station right across the parking lot, so there is some law enforcement near by if needed.

Restaurant is very dirty and all of the fountain drinks were flat. When staff was notified they reacted with absolutely no care at all. The corporation should be ashamed to have such a high profile location in such condition.

Born and Raised Proud El Pasoan here. Came on a short trip to Corpus Christi and had to get a late night bite. This Whataburger is just as the many we have back home. This location lies just before the beach and has great service. We had about three full charter buses with us and we were eating within 30minutes! Fast service without sacrificing quality can only mean this is a well run machine. Everyone loved the unique two story building with a great view of the water.

COOLEST WHATABURGER I've ever been to. HANDSDOWN. Have you guys ever seen a TWO-STORY fastfood restaurant? Two story with a balcony and a patio. Super cool. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the stickiness of the place. I understand, it's a fast food joint, I should expect too much. But I believe they knocked the service and building right out of the park.

I've been a fan of Whataburger all of my life. What's not to love? Whataburger is a true Texas icon. It has always been head and shoulders above its fast food competitors. Whataburger got its start in Corpus Christi many decades ago. I visit Corpus twice a year on average. I've always wanted to go to the original Whataburger on the bay. It's now a giant, two-story restaurant. It almost looks like a night club. For different reasons, I never made it to that location... until now. And man, was it disappointing. The place was dirty and greasy. Service was slow and rude. The burgers were just not fresh. My friend and I didn't even finish our meal. I would give this dump one star, but I'll give it two since I still have a place in my heart for Whataburger and I know they can do better.

A two story Whataburger just steps from the water? Sounds like a picture perfect opportunity. Unfortunately, that's all it was. We arrived around 2pm and ordered through the app due to a long, inefficient line out the door in the hot Texas summer heat. The kids hoped to enjoy our meal while checking out the view from the second floor. Full. So back downstairs we went to push a few tables together and scrounge for chairs for our party of 6. After waiting for 10 or so minutes, we asked if we could have our cups and milkshakes. Milkshakes were ready, but the employee found it difficult to count how many "drink" cups we needed. We wound up one short and needed to dissect our online receipt in order to prove we had paid for the additional cup. (Meanwhile, random people would walk into this location, ask for a water cup, and be given a styrofoam Whataburger cup with no problem.) Sweet tea was empty. Asked an employee if there was more in the back, to which he responded "I don't know" and proceeded to walk away. Eventually we're forced to ask people working in the back on drive-thru for tea. Received our food after 20-25 minutes (longer than the estimated online wait indicated we would) but our order was correct, and we had all of our meal items. Fries were hot but unsalted. Burgers tasted consistent with Whataburger. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to come to this location again. The restaurant was rather warm and the dining area was less than efficient. Not worth the excitement of a double story.

This is probably my favorite steakhouse in town. If you got that special someone with you, splurge and get the number two. Ps. If you try to order a Royal with Cheese they will look at you kinda funny and send you down the street to McDonalds. Best ice cream parlor in town too.

Was this supposed to be the original Whataburger? I don't know. All I know is my food was pretty damn satisfying at 1 AM after drinking about 7 doubles of whatever hard booze I had that night. When I came in the place was a bit of a loud madhouse. Fortunately, the food came out much quicker than I expected and I was able to be on my merry way back home... Alone. #nogame The food is really nothing special. Yes, it's the awesome Whataburger, but if you've been to five you've been to them all. What I most admired about this place (besides it's near-waterfront location) is the professionalism of their staff in dealing with a lot of drunks and juveniles. Seriously, I've been to plenty of fast food joints late at night and a lot of the staff at those places are rude and suck at everything. Not this crew. Kudos, y'all.
