We don't have any in Pa. (I think)...are they any good?

The whole point of chains is that they try to taste the same everywhere. This seems like a terrible waste of time.

Delusional fantasies notwithstanding, Texas is not "the country" subtard

Well that sounds like a fat idea.

To dream the impossible dream.

Driving through Mississippi we tried Whataburger. meh.

And Whataburger beats the sh*t out of the other fast food burger joints. Only problem is it makes your car smell like you just had sex with some fat, sweaty Mexican hooker.

/which might not be so bad

I've always been a little weirded out by their need to put "One nation under God" on their windows. Good breakfast though.

Bacon double cheeseburger with jalapenos and yeah, they are the best fast food burger anywhere. They don't know what mayo or ketchup are (unless you ask), and that's why.

What do want todo in your golden years?

Let'shiat a bunch of fast food joints

They better hope whataburger opens more locations soon or they will have nothing left to live for

For a chain Burger its top notch

Why?

Darth_Lukecash: strangeguitar: We don't have any in Pa. (I think)...are they any good?

No. They suck ass. Worse than Macdonalds!

Trance750: strangeguitar: We don't have any in Pa. (I think)...are they any good?

They are AWESOME. Everything is fresh made and custom order.

Thanks! :/

lilbjorn: Why?

That's the first thing that popped into my head too. Why?

Darth_Lukecash: strangeguitar: We don't have any in Pa. (I think)...are they any good?

No. They suck ass. Worse than Macdonalds!

Heretic.

Whataburger threads crack me up...mostly because I don't understand the fixation Fark has with it.

Back in the 70s my girlfriend worked at the only store in San Antonio (on Goliad road) and gave us free food. Whataburger started as a little drive-through in Alice, Texas and has been expanding ever since. It's basically just a greasy cheese burger with lettuce and mustard, nothing special.

But they stay open late and it's damn good after a night of bar hopping.

at least it's an older couple

and real Whataburger fans name their kids Harmon after the founder of Whataburger

I used to work one

strangeguitar: We don't have any in Pa. (I think)...are they any good?

Opinions obviously vary and have been to a bad one on a visit to Austin (Barton Springs rd???) But On the whole I like them; they are my burger joint of choice. They just need to get some free WiFi for me to leech off of.

Degenz: Delusional fantasies notwithstanding, Texas is not "the country" subtard

They have some outside of Texas. But it is a Texas chain, and if you go to Corpus there is a Whataburger on just about every corner.

Better than McDonald's but not as good as 5 guys.

Does their hoverround really have that kind of range?

been to one, which was one too many.

what is the point of visiting "every mcdonald's" or "every whattaburger"? why not try to drink a bud light in every hard rock cafe while you're at it?

Darth_Lukecash: Whitecastle

Yummmmm!

Also 5 Guys is good too.

Best burger in MN that I've found is at the Shamrock Bar in St. Paul. Oh so good!

/Actually might go there for lunch today, now that I think about it.

You mean this?

The only Whataburger worth visiting is in Russelleville, AR. They carry the chain name, but I believe the similarities with the others stop there.

daxxenos: Granted, if you load it up with enough other garbage, you can make a three weeks dead in the Sun and liquified Indonesian rat taste good. However! I take mine with just ketchup. Done like that, I'll go a long way to avoid Whataburger.

Someone who puts Ketchup on food does not deserve to have the ability to judge the quality of food.

Whataburger is awesome because, by default, they do not put Ketchup on their burgers. That lowers the chance that the mongoloid behind the counter will not listen to your order and you will somehow end up with that vile white trash sauce on your food like at other fast food joints.

God I miss whataburger.

Degenz: You mean this?

yup, thanks for finding the map I couldn't

strangeguitar: We don't have any in Pa. (I think)...are they any good?

I haven't been to one in more than 20 years, when I left Arizona.
Back then, they rocked! Better than McD's, BK, Wendy's, Carl Jr's, Checkers or anything else.

L.D. Ablo: I wish I had a Whataburger nearby. As far as fast-food goes, it's awesome.

THIS!

I also wish we had a Waffle House here.

Georgia has them to spare, at least 3 within 5 minutes of my place.

alwaysjaded: odinsposse: The whole point of chains is that they try to taste the same everywhere. This seems like a terrible waste of time.

This is mostly true. Some are different though. There's a Burger King outside southern Alexandria, Louisiana that their burgers are so damn good. I honestly don't know what they do different but we get some everytime we go visit family, and you can really taste the difference. Same with the Whataburgers around here. The ones in The Woodlands taste better than the ones in Aldine.

/ Whataburger kicks ass but this is dumb. Go see the sights in another state or something.

maybe the whataburger franchisees purchase their ingredients from local suppliers, which would explain the differences in tastes between the ingredients

Also, for me, it's either a Whataburger or a Texas Dairy Queen

I'm craving a Jalitos Burger or a Whataburger with cheese, Jalepenos and Bacon

Why can't five guys get the heat right? they're always too mild, maybe it's cause they're yankees? Also, am I the only one who likes Pico De Gallo on their burgers?

We used to have a Whataburger nearby, but it closed. 'Twas a sad day, indeed.

That number is a lot lower than I would have thought. Here in Tallahassee, we have 4.

/best sausage gravy ever

loonatic112358: Also, am I the only one who likes Pico De Gallo on their burgers?

Yes.

/Ugh

;)

Trance750: When I was a kid, I thought it was called 'Waterburger'

I think this is true of every kid lucky enough to have grown up with Whataburger.

I grew up in Texas, but moved to Florida as a teenager. For a brief, glorious, moment we had them in Florida but the franchisee was a terrible business person and they all closed. Many a grease-infused tear was shed that day.

Glad you like it, but it's not really accurate because it super-imposes old territories onto existing jurisdictional boundaries. But it's still fun!

Why not all the Fatburgers and In N Outs in the US?

I like Whataburger but I would aim higher

As a Marylander who frequently travels to Texas, I like Whataburger. The ones I've been to have been clean and the staff is generally friendly. For fast food it's good. Although I'll only eat there once a week tops when it's available. I kinda wish they had them on the east coast, but I don't see the staff being as nice here.

/sounds fat, but isn't (yet)

El Paso smelled like a dying cows dirty asshole. Why would someone punish themselves to go visit that place?

I'd rather make a 2000+ mile trek to Anaheim, Ca. and hit up Ho-Toys (yes, thats the name of the place) on State College Blvd.

Really great Chinese foo'.

best depiction of Whataburger yet

basically a greasy ass 1/4 pounder with lettuce, tomato and onion between white bread.

What sets it apart from the other fast food burgers is being slathered with mustard.

Double Whataburger with Cheese and Jalapeno, tub of fries, tub of Coke.

Then tell your friends and family good-bye for you have just seen the best life has to offer and need no more excuse to live.

Chophouse Cheddar Burger is great, as is the A1 Thick and Hearty Burger (although you can probably replicate that at home).

Might be. Angola Prison isn't that far from Alexandria and I've heard the prison doesn't eat all that produce. Plus, that BK still has grill smoke blowing out the roof all day long.

5 Guys is decent but for the price, I'd rather stop by a butcher and grill at home.

And a recommend is Sammy's Wild Game Grill off Washington and Yale near Montrose. A bison burger with pico and avacado is awesome.

...in what city? Those coordinates apply to like 90% of american towns. Sounds like houston, there was a wild game burger joint near those.

As far as Whataburger..they're just hamburgers. For a chain, they taste a lot like what your average home-grilled burger would taste like, if you don't do anything fancy, don't use farking top sirlion or some stupid shiat, etc. etc. They're better than McDonalds, but I'd rather have a rancid dead hooker shiat in my mouth most days than eat there, so that's not saying much.

there's actually a little joint on 7th street in Eugene that has some decent Tex Mex...the habanero sauce will knock your socks off. $3 for a burrito big enough to hold you over until supper time. hard to find, but it's there

Wow, from AZ to Florida! I really didn't think they had expanded so much. I know people who worked for them when they had like four stores in little podunk towns in Texas.

I wish they had some up here in KC, I'd be eating me some Whataburger.

What i find amusing when driving through Tex-Ass is that after Dall-Ass/Ft. Worth going west you see some very small towns.

Wrong about the origin. It was officially known as Whataburger of Alice, Inc - as in Alice, Texas. My girlfriend worked there and I have seen paycheck stubs.

Whataburger beef does not contain pink slime nor does it undergo an ammonia-treated process
A Statement from Whataburger:

In light of the recent concerns regarding beef products that contain 'pink slime,' we want our customers to rest assured that when they visit Whataburger they can expect to receive only 100 percent, USDA-inspected fresh, never frozen beef. Our beef does not contain pink slime nor does it undergo an ammonia-treated process.

We understand that the quality of our food is what keeps our loyal customers coming back. As a 62-year-old family-owned company, we have focused on fresh, made-to-order burgers and friendly customer service since 1950 when Harmon Dobson opened the first Whataburger as a small roadside burger stand in Corpus Christi, Texas. That will never change.

More Whataburger trivia:

They had a sammich called "The Whopper" and when Burger King tried to move in on their territory Whataburger sued them and won an injunction prohibiting Burger King from opening any stores in South Texas for years.

True story, burger biatches.

One of their best limited time specials was the 5-3-1

"The Whataburger 5-3-1 is named for its unique toppings: five pickles, three onion rings and topped with one great creamy pepper sauce, all served with two 100 percent fresh, never frozen, American beef patties grilled to perfection, a slice of Monterey Jack cheese and a slice of American cheese between two slices of Texas Toast. "

Quote from the Whataburger wikipedia page

"Whataburger is a privately held, regional restaurant chain specializing in hamburgers. The company, founded by Harmon Dobson, opened its first restaurant in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1950.[1] Today, Whataburger Restaurants, LP is still owned and operated by the Dobson family and has nearly 700 locations in the United States (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia)."

wildbill0712: The only Whataburger worth visiting is in Russelleville, AR. They carry the chain name, but I believe the similarities with the others stop there.

i'm fairly certain that one is not part of THE whataburger chain of restaurants. being that it's spelled with an extra "t" in it, and looks nothing like a whataburger, i'm guessing it's a knock-off. a very delicious knockoff

Meh feltners whataburger in russellville, ar is good but not great.
Now Braums! Definately worth the stop in alma

Five Guys burgers and Fries and Whataburger is better than BK, MCD, Wendy's, Arby's.

Whataburger comes to your table to serve you, their stores are cleaner, bathrooms immaculate and had a TV in the wall in the bathroom. Service is extremely friendly. Food is s better value and tastes better. They serve FANCY Ketchup! Lol. Ice is better there too.

A neighbor of mine in college works for Whataburger and they treat him like gold. So they respect their employees and assist them with their education. Someone running Whataburger knows what the hell they are doing.

Five Guys is expensive, but it is waaaay up there on taste. You get free peanuts and they serve beer. My family is begging me to take them back there, so everyone liked it.

Alice is a few miles down the road from Corpus, close enough to be called a suburb actually. No biggie.

Here in KC Sprint Corp has pulled the same shenanigans by saying they were founded in Westwood, KS, which is a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri. Then when they merged with some global telecom they tried to revise history and say they were headquartered in North Carolina, even though their $1 Billion campus remained in Overland Park, KS.

It's all about bragging rights.

Love me some #6 combo, please.

I've been there a few times... Dint really eat fast food much. It is better than most local places people rave about and give 5 stars on yelp. Thier breakfast is the best fast food version I've had. Thier special burgers are well thought out too.

Degenz: Delusional fantasies notwithstanding, Texas is not "the country" subtard

Oklahoma is not Texas.

I read the article to see fairly normal obesity. Looking at the Hoepfners, you don't see "fast-food" bodies. They are trim and fit. "She's weighed 113 pounds all her life, and I've actually lost 20 pounds in the last couple of months because we're going on a cruise to Alaska in June and I want to wear my mess dress (military term for formal evening wear) and it was a little tight," he said. The Hoepfners said they try to avoid the French fries and onion rings.

Well, never mind.

Also, sound like real nice people. "We gave back $7,000, and Whataburger gave us 1,000 gift cards at $7 a piece," Karl said. "We give those out along the way to the homeless and the needy. We've fed over 2,000 people so far. We thought why not give it back to people who need it the most."

Good job to the Hoepfners. I hope I'm having as much fun when (if?) I'm retired.

monsterflake: cheeseburger josh loves whataburger!

fark your French fries! I wear Tapout branded clothing and no underwear motherfarker!

I've driven by many a Whataburger, but only recently did I try it out. I was pretty impressed. Food was very affordable, yummy and the employees seemed like they were well treated (worked @ BK and Arby's for several years, I know what a happy employee looks like). I recommend WB to all.

verbaltoxin: Minor detail, really.


Exactly. Greasy burgers are good no matter where you get them.

Getting the helicopter to get your ass to the hospital and revive you from a stroke is another issue altogether.

Degenz: dac74656: Degenz: Samaura: Degenz: Whataburger threads crack me up...mostly because I don't understand the fixation Fark has with it.

Back in the 70s my girlfriend worked at the only store in San Antonio (on Goliad road) and gave us free food. Whataburger started as a little drive-through in Alice, Texas and has been expanding ever since. It's basically just a greasy cheese burger with lettuce and mustard, nothing special.

But they stay open late and it's damn good after a night of bar hopping.

Not true, they began in corpus christi texas. The first one is on ocean drive, two lanes drive thru (like a bank), and its perfection, every time.

The fixation is how delicious it is. If you dont like something off the menu they are perfectly happy to change it or add to it however you want to make it delicious.

Toasted bun, bacon cheeseburger nomnomnom

Wrong about the origin. It was officially known as Whataburger of Alice, Inc - as in Alice, Texas. My girlfriend worked there and I have seen paycheck stubs.

Quote from the Whataburger wikipedia page

"Whataburger is a privately held, regional restaurant chain specializing in hamburgers. The company, founded by Harmon Dobson, opened its first restaurant in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1950.[1] Today, Whataburger Restaurants, LP is still owned and operated by the Dobson family and has nearly 700 locations in the United States (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia)."


CORPUS CHRISTI - GOT IT!

LOL - I get you are somehow personally invested in Corpus Christi, and that's all good. But I know what I know and I have seen paycheck stubs from my ex who worked there. It was Whataburger of Alice, Texas back in the 70s...that's where it was founded. I don't give a shiat what Wikifark says.

Do understand that Whataburger restaurants are franchises? A person that works at a Whataburger works for the franchise not for the corporation. Your ex just happen to work for a franchise called "Whataburger of Alice."


ps You're an idiot.

Settle down sweetie.

We've already covered this in previous posts. And no, a franchise in San Antonio is not going to be named Whataburger of Alice.
