The first one I ever had
was in Port Lavaca Texas while at the old alumina refinery across the inlet in Point Comfort. That Whataburger was about the only option for lunch in town and it was pretty damn tasty.
For nostalgia's sake, we had it on the strip in Vegas last week (the tail end of a Bryce/Zion trip) and the burgers were fine. Agree with down below that In n Out and Shake Shack are probably better. But you know what? They don't have a franchise in Port Lavaca, Texas....
