First time at this location. The food was fresh. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I love the grilled chicken sandwich. I custom ordered mine dry with extra pickles on Texas toast. They got it right! I love Whataburger!!

Water is life, the essence of the earth, It quenches thirst and gives the plants rebirth. But burgers, oh burgers, they're a different beast, Juicy and delicious, they're a tasty feast. Water may be pure, but burgers are divine, Grilled to perfection, they're a culinary goldmine. So let us give thanks for water and burgers alike, And let them bring us joy with every bite! Whataburger! WATER MY Burrrrrr GRRRRR!

One of the nicest locations we've been to! Amazing customer service, delicious burgers and fries and it was absolutely spotless. Highly recommend and hope to be back in the future. My Husband & I are OTR truck drivers and have had the chance to stop in twice in the past 2 months and both times were exceptional. We were lucky both times to find parking in the Wal-Mart by the fuel pumps. This Wal-Mart is very busy so to find parking for a full truck & trailer is nothing short of a miracle.

I got my food this morning right around 4:45am, I wished I could give a shout out to the two people that served me. I eat Whataburger regularly and have probably eaten at Whataburger well over 100 times in the past. The burger I got this morning was absolutely fantastic and THE BEST I have ever had eating at Whataburger! Fries were right out of the fryer I could tell as well. Temperature was perfect, patty wasn't overcooked, patty was seasoned great, buns were hot. I don't normally leave a review unless I am very impressed. Great job early morning crew!

Clean, fast, and polite. Though they were to busy to have much of a conversation. Everything was good and taken care of thank you!
