So, I was helping my friend clean up some brush, and I was sweaty, hot and hungry. What did I want to eat at 9:45am on a Saturday morning? Yup....Whataburger! This one was located pretty close to her house so I decided to hit it up. This may be one of the older Whataburgers in Phoenix. The signage and inside of it seemed a bit old school.
I went with their Sweet and Spicy Bacon Burger combo. I really only get 2 things at Whataburger...the Green Chile Double and then this burger when its available. This thing is great! It comes with 2 huge patties (Whataburger patties are some of the biggest patties in the fast food industry...and that is a good thing!), American and Monterey Jack cheese, grilled onions, bacon, mustard and a sweet and spicy pepper sauce. This thing is delicious! While my other favorite, the Green Chile Double, is pretty simple and straightforward with its approach, this burger blends a bunch of different flavors all into one. The sweet and spicy pepper sauce is delicious! Not even really "spicy", but it has a pepper kick to it. Like a cross between a jazzed up bbq/teriyaki type sauce. It's really tasty! The meat, cheese, bacon, onions, mustard and sauce all play well together and make it a really enjoyable burger. I wish they would carry it all the time! Also, their fries are salted very well, and there is no better condiment to dip them in than the Whataburger spicy ketchup! So damn good....worth coming here alone. That spicy ketchup is the shizz! Washed everything down with a Coke!
Overall, it was a very good brunch! Whataburgers are pretty consistent for the most part. This one was a bit shy of 5 star worthy because of two things. 1. The guy who brought out my food, mishandled my tray and knocked over my fries. They went spilling onto the table and he blurted out, "I hate when that happens." Yeah, me too buddy lol. No big deal since only like 2 or 3 fell on the floor, but still. How hard is it to place down a tray on a flat surface? And, the bun of my burger seemed a bit stale like it was approaching its expiration date. Not inedible stale, but I have had way fresher buns at all my other Whataburgers I have been to before. Anyways.....2 little nit picky things, but I would still come back. It's right off the 17 freeway and they are open 24-7.
