Great whataburger to go to. The food has been always good and the service has always been great. Now inwould avoid this place at all cost during holiday weekends. I've seen it so packed that you could jot get in the parking lot and morning the door. Otherwise it's always quiet and great food and service. The fact that they had the Dr Pepper Blackberry shake, I loved it. Just a great place to grab food.

Whataburger is my husband’s favorite burger, so we came in for a burger. There was no one in the store. We were greeted by the cashier who was efficient, and seemed to be very knowledgeable, but not too friendly. She mentioned the survey on the back of our receipt after we placed our order. We went to sit while we waited we noticed the store lobby was unkept. The tables were not cleaned, despite no customers. To the cashiers credit when she brought our food it was wonderful and she immediately cleaned all of the dirty tables and chairs and floor.

Food was excellent for burgers and fries as usual. Service was a bit longer than general fast food. It was a busy drive through and food did not sit under a heat lamp for 30 minutes or more. I can't rate atmosphere as I did not dine in.

The food was decent and served the purpose of satisfying our need. Ordered chicken strips and a burger. Both were not very hot, but flavor was good.
