What do you order at Whataburger?

Stopped at one a couple weeks ago in Arkansas on a mountain biking trip.  It took 20 minutes to get our order.  It tasted fine, but if I'm going to wait 20 minutes for a burger, I better be bellied up at a bar with a beer in one hand and a game on the tube.

I ordered a sausage egg and cheese on JCB a few weeks ago, the dude taking the order repeated most things, but not biscuit.  When I got down the road it was a regular biscuit so I figured they didn’t have it anymore since it didn’t show on the menu. The sandwich was still one of the best ever, egg was cooked perfectly with the yolk just barely firm. It was hot and fresh. I saw in this thread about it still being available so tried again last week and they got the JCB right and it was the same perfectly cooked egg and hot and fresh. I think it’s all about location these days like any fast food spot.

Side note I’ve definitely heard native Texans pronounce it water-burger over what-a-burger.

Just hit the Whataburger in Burnet. Holy crap, they’re a well-oiled machine. I walk in and order a JCB combo. I was still filling my coffee cup when they handed me my bag. Perfect JCB sammich, in and out in 2 minutes.

We hit that one a decent amount post-golf and it is good for sure.

75 in Plano and I agree

I'm going to hell for this, but that location seems to have a bit of a "special" staff. Been there many times though, and only one disappointing experience that I can remember.

Small town locations are always better because their employees have limited options and actually give a shit.

I’m looking at you La Grange for always slamming and going hard .

Yeah, that Burnet location has always been a favorite for us. Stop to eat there  several times a year on the way to the ranch.

It’s always been clean, quick, and the food is on point.

This is solid logic. The whataburgers of la grange, Mexia, gilmer, and so many other podunks turn out some mean grub on a consistent basis.

I will add Lytle, Hondo and Uvalde to that list of stalwarts.

So WB tears down a perfectly good A-frame at Huebner and bandera (one in which had just the right amount of grease coating on the walls, floors, ceiling, etc) to put up one of the new modern joints with the flat roof. It has less seating. It has 2 self serve kiosks.

I’m there with my family before we go bowling for my sons bday and spend the 5 minutes keying everything in before the cashier 3 feet away steps over to tell me that the kiosk isn’t accepting f payments. My wife can see me going red rats angry and suggests to her that maybe they should put an out of order sign on it and the girl looks at us and says “yeah” then goes back to the regular register.

I still went and got in line because it’s the boys bday but…….

Reminds me of one time I was at Chipotle. I wait 10 mins in line then as I'm asking for pinto beans the guy tells me they don't have any beans. Like, none of either kind. It was 6:30. I told him "okay well then I'm going to leave". I'm thinking, hey, Einstein, maybe let people know that you're completely out of one of your key fucking ingredients before they wait in a 20 person line.

Put it on Texas toast and add grilled jalepeno too.

I got one to split with my wife, because >1100 calories.  I subbed Texas toast (of course) and added onion.  It was very good.

Goliad usually was a pretty good one in my experience. I’ve had to give Columbus multiple chances and it has got to be the worst I’ve been to.

Wait until Seguin, rook. 

Gonzales sucks.  If they were in charge they would have meekly handed over the cannon.

Vent.   Went to Westlake Digital Kitchen yesterday.  What a shit show.  Around noon and almost empty except for the 3 cars in line trying to place their order.  Service sucks.   Food sucks.  It has to be the most wasted real estate pad between Mopac and 360.

In other news, the Whataburger in Dripping Springs is very good and professionally managed.  Same for William Cannon/Mopac location.

That's my Whataburger. It's generally pretty good but they're not perfect. They fuck stuff up a bit here and there.

My biggest complaint about WB is that when you order a burger or combo meal, you have to remember to tell them to add cheese. That should be the standard. And they should ask if you want cheese on it if you don't remember to ask. Inevitably I'll order four combos for my family, and everyone wants theirs a specific way, and I'll get into their various specifications, but forget to order cheese on one of them. Pisses me off.

If I’m going to any restaurant to pick up food and the other 3 people in my family start throwing out modifications and substitutions then we’re all going to the restaurant and they can tell them. 
 

Or just use the app.

Fuck them for not somehow knowing you wanted cheese when you forgot to tell them. That is some bullshit. Fucking Chicago. 

Funny story - I was transiting through O'Hare Tuesday night and we got delayed due to traffic issues + a maintenance issue.  And we are waiting at our second gate and I overhear some guys (Surly-ites, probably) bitching about Chicago.  "First they ruined Whataburger and now this"
