New Whataburger with New Architectural Design Theme Opens in Austin

[irishtexan 11533]

I wonder if they're closing the whataburger 1/3 of a mile away at Burleson and Oltorf. That's my lunchtime whataburger and it was a pretty good one.

And Whataburger isn't fast food ?  I hit  one in El Paso in September on the way to Nevada. Not impressed in the least. Am I missing something ?

Food wise? You're not missing anything?

Texans blind, slavish devotion to something they think embodies Texas? 

Maybe WAB was worth it before. It's not now.

I’d murder a grandmother for a #4 with grilled jalapeños and guac right now. Living in the northeast has a few disadvantages, food being the biggest.

Carpetbaggers?

Like Texas was part of the deep south like those abominations Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia?

Let's not suck on the confederacy cock too much, boys.

Yeah, well, Kentucky didn’t even secede. I think you’re missing Mr. Crowder’s point.

they need more focus on the the drive thru

I'm having a hard time working up a good rage about this. 

It's not a secret that there is a range of service at the place. I don't give a damn about the architecture. 

Chicken E used to walk out to the drive to get your order. CFA does every time. I don't like their half assed chicken sammich but they damn sure sell a bunch. 

Big bag of meh. Don't care. Gimme a #2 with jalapenos and big fries. I don't care if it is one of the last holdouts of the A-frame or some new fangled over built BS. Gimme the burger and fries and make it snappy.

Stupid dickhead Yankees.  You want to fix whataburger then start stealing away execs from Chick Fil A.

You want them to close on Sundays?

If you think Texas didn't have carpetbaggers, you need to do some review.

I once drove thru corpus on my way to padre with my wife and 2 yo daughter. 
 

Kid had a bad diaper so we stopped at a Whataburger to clean her up. I’m standing around the women’s room checking out the hoodlems and making sure the family is good. Wife comes out and says, “there are so many roaches in there”. 
 

I said, “cool, I’m gonna order a double meat, double cheese. You want anything?”

Because it’s that good.

Also the reason I told that story is because Whata is fucking awesome, but could use some management help. 
 

and fuck Chic-fil-a. That place is terrible.

I wasn't (and am still not) a fan of the Chicago private equity firm buying out a Texas institution, but like iconoclast said, they just need to deliver a kick-ass burger. 
As far as the new look? Anything that looks more like a P Terry's is a plus, imo. 

Was just about to post, “it looks like an orange p Terry’s”

Yup.  And a #2 with cheese, bacon, grilled onions, and grilled jalapenos.

actually you need a #5 with an extra patty, grilled onions, and grilled jalapenos.

unless you just want to spend extra cash, in which case you get a #4 with an extra patty, bacon, and grilled onions.

 

3 identical meals, 3 different prices.

i don't know why those all cost different amounts, but they do.

I order it the way I said it, and I light my cigars with $100 bills.

This is what happens when you hire consultants. They hire design firms. And they hire builders. And they hire workers. And you spend a fuck load of money on something you don't need. 

[Hank_Hill 18994]

They've been doing ok since moving away from the A frames, if they're going to start sucking the building wont be why.

"Make it snappy" ain't in Whataburger's employee manual

[ChickenSandwich 9856]

That used to be true. I would gladly go back to when they were made to order. Not made to sit under heat lamp.

Whataburger gets such a low-quality grade worker it doesn't matter how they try to do things. It's gonna be a shit-show either way.
