Hagar Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Whataburger has a good hamburger, but imo, the two top things are their onion rings, and their breakfast sausage gravy.  Sometimes, when I was still working, I’d stop on the way to work and get the gravy & biscuit, and just drink the gravy. But speaking of all these fast food places, in the last 10 or 15 years, I’ve noticed how different they are from one place/town to the next.  They used to be consistent.  Hadn’t had a Wendy’s burger in a long time, the burgers were tasteless.  During a basketball tournament near Houston, we stopped there.  It was delicious.  Got one in Beaumont recently, and it had no taste.  And if the patties McDonalds puts on their small cheeseburgers gets any smaller, they’ll have to change the name to a bread sandwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would always get the biscuit & gravy along with an egg sandwich to sop up the gravy. For lunch/dinner , I would always get the Patty Melt burger.  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I'm good with the sale. They have been wanting to expand, but the owners didn't have the capital to do the mass expansion they wanted/fans desired. This new group will be able to help push Whataburger across the country. Definitely helps me on family vacations now on deciding where to eat while road tripping. Also remember the original owners still hold a minority stake...

Go to Lufkin's Cherry Grocery--that burger will "take your tongue on a sleigh ride". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whataburger is better than most, but no where near the best I have had.  I have said it before, but Denny's has several great burgers and yes, they beat the pants off Whataburger ...

BarryLaverty Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Nicky D’s in Crowley, Alamo Springs Cafe outside of Fredericksburg, these are burgers worth the price, fried egg on both, with no terrible drive through service available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirtFalcon Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Has anybody else noticed a drop in the meat patty quality at Whataburger the past several years .... it just doesn't taste as good to me .... maybe my taste buds in my old age ....
