    Drive-throughs are supposed to be fast and convenient. Whataburger... is not.

    They just need to simplify their menu to the special burgers, taquitos, and chicken fingers, and call it a day.

    That's why I just go inside and order at the counter to-go anyway, it's way faster, plus this...



    Also the Whataburger app for curbside pickup is pretty efficient too.

    Get the Whataburger app. I may get Whataburger once a month. I order on the app just as I'm leaving the house and it's ready when I get there. Plus get occasional free food.

    I like their app. They do give out a decent amount of "offers" for some free food. Sometimes you have to buy fries and a drink, but seems better than paying the full $10 for a meal somewhere.

    At the end of the day, this is still the best fast food burger. Really not anything close in my view. I spend way more going to Five Guys and Becks, but neither are really fast food to me despite the drive thru line at Beck’s.

    I really like one small bag of candy corn once a year. But if it's 2 small bags, or one big bag, or if someone offers me my annual small bag "out of season" then it's a no-go.

    about 45 days ago…ultimately this is all subjective, but I don’t think Wendy’s is even in the ballpark of Whataburger.

    I have no idea why they don't fix them. It would be so simple.

    Also, apparently 11:20 AM while it's raining is a great time to hit up the Whataburger drive thru. Got my patty melt, I know yall were worried.

    I had Wendy's yesterday. It wasn't bad. It wasn't Whataburger either. But I like that the major chains taste slightly different but are internally consistent.
    And whomever said 5 guys costs too much, last time I went a burger, fries, and drink was almost $25!!
    I thought hamburgers were supposed to be affordable!!

    Best part of Whataburger is that their burgers still have the same diameter is when i was a kid.

    Second time since May Whataburger is giving me a free Patty Melt meal through the app just because I haven't ordered through the app in over a month. @Buck Turgidson

    I didn't know we were supposed to pass our burgers and shakes around like they were a doobie.
