Whataburger Restaurants

Whataburger History

Over six decades ago, an adventurous and determined entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson had a bold idea: to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold, and so good that after a single bite customers couldn't help but exclaim, �What a burger!� He named his humble burger stand, located on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, Texas, �Whataburger.�

Our founder's original vision still inspires everything we do. Each and every Whataburger is still made to order�when it's ordered. We still greet our customers with a smile 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And while we now serve hot, fresh food at nearly 800 Whataburger restaurants from Arizona to Florida, that burger stand in Corpus Christi is never far from our hearts.
