Paid $80 for three Whataburger doubles with cheese and bacon and jalapeños from a friend that took a two hour flight from Houston to Chicago. They were three hours old by the time they hit my office desk. Had my secretary hold my calls... best $80 I spent this summer.
Whataburger doesn't put mayonnaise as it is borderline illegal for Texans to put ketchup or mayonnaise on a burger. Or beans in chili.
Huh? Mayonnaise ketchup and mustard go on burgers. But yes, keep those beans out of the ducking chili unless I'm making cheap chili dogs dogs for an event
Just pointing out that if you don't get it Animal Style you're missing the point. Animal Style double double is a good burger. The fries suck no matter what though.
My one experience was the one in Bedford/grapevine wherever, and the fries weren't properly blanched.
I had Whataburger quite a few times in AZ and while good, I never thought it was better than In-n-Out. I will agree that In-n-Out fries suck though. I don't even bother ordering them anymore.
As a native Houstonian, I must say... Whataburger *used* to be better, but over the past20 years it has gradually gotten crappier and crappier. There was a time when I would agree that Whataburger was better, bu not any more. I like In-n-out more.
As to their original Whataburger, i can see your point. It's their Specialty Burgers that put them over the top, easily.
This is the thread. That's the difference between having 50 Whataburgers in Houston and 2 or 3 In and Outs. The I&Os will be consistent and i guarantee you will have Chic-fil-a level customer service. Whataburger has Jack in the box level service.
Chic-fil-a is perfect example of consistency. It tastes the same and the customer service and delivery is about the same every where you go. Depending on the what-a-burger, you may have some people who don't care and just chit chat about high school stuff and your order will take forever or they will get it wrong.
Had a friend that left to join the Navy and when he came back to visit he was saying how In-n-Out was better than Whataburger... I told him to go get the Patty Melt from Whataburger and he changed his mind and he ended up eating there 3 times in the week he was here visiting.
What a load of crap. Whataburger has the servers that bring you the tray with condiments and napkins. It's like going to a burlesque show at The Sands in Vegas in the '60s, only the cigarettes are replaced with straws.
Their in-restaurant service is pretty good. I would say that drive-thru service can be inconsistent. I haven't had anyone be rude but I would say 60% of the time they forget something.
