I haven't been in years but we came by hoping it wouldn't be too busy and it was, but they seemed to be moving through orders decently fast so we stayed. Ordered at 1:14 and at 1:46 after still not getting our food and hearing numbers after ours we went to the counter and asked if our order had gotten lost. They said the order had just been put out and she assumed someone else must have picked up our order. Personally I think they just dropped our order and said someone else had picked it up so they didn't seem responsible for forgetting us. I could be wrong and they just gave it to someone without checking their ticket/receipt though, which is still not efficient. They remake it and got it wrong: my husband ordered fries but they gave him tots and at this point we're already late to where we're supposed to be so he just ate them. I also got tots and be warned you get the tiniest little cluster of less than a dozen of them and mine were somehow cold. Then as we left I asked for a refill of the diet Cherry Lemon Sundrop I ordered at the beginning and saw her put cherry Fanta in it (not diet) so I mentioned that and she said that's how they do diet CLS: it's half diet sundrop and half cherry Fanta. Yet when I asked when I ordered my drink if they had diet CLS, she said yes, which is a lie, so if you order that be prepared that it's half cherry Fanta instead and plan on the extra calories. Overall very frustrated with the portion sizes, the extreme wait, the lack of system for checking tickets before giving out food, and the fact that we only got a half hearted apology for all their mistakes. read more

I am shocked at the lack of great reviews! From the moment we walked in the service was excellent and friendly! They had a special which was a burger, fries and drink for $8 and wow did it look great! We ordered tater tots and a milkshake for a snack and it was easily the best milkshake I have ever had! Chocolate and peanut butter, super thick and creamy! Tots were cooked perfectly as well. It's not the prettiest spot inside nor does it have a ton of seating but the food, prices and service highly make up for it!! It was clean and the vibe was welcoming! read more

Food was great. Service was good. But one of the cooks from the back entered the bathroom with his gloves on & left to re-enter the kitchen with the same gloves on. read more

What-a-waste! Stopped in for first and last time on Sunday. Took at least 10 minutes to get order placed at counter, only one person ahead of me. No clear direction for where to go. Took another 30 plus minutes to receive order, just two standard What A Cheeseburgers. No warning from cashier that it would be a long wait. While waiting I witnessed people getting wrong orders. Worst part of experience was the actual burger, tasteless frozen patties read more

Good luck getting your food. Insane how horrible this service is. Might be good on a day it's not crowded but still shouldn't take 40 minutes to get 3 burgers. read more

Actually I thought I had already left a review for this place. Classic '50's and '60's drive in and most have inside dining. I am going to date myself but this is the type restaurant I grew up with. McDonalds was the same with Burgers for 15 cents. Burger Chef and others long gone were the same. This local chain should not be confused with the Texan What A Burger Chain and has evolved into a regional competitor It's a regional chain with a limited number of store across the Carolina's. If you're old enough to remember going to the drive in during the '50's, '60's and part of the '70's where you pulled in and place you order and a cheap but good burger was delivered shortly thereafter. Sonic has tried to duplicate the overall experience but nothing including sliders can recreate that experience. Gourmet dining with white Lenin - Answer is no Back to the basis drive in - Definitely yet read more

The last time I ate here was about 20 years ago. It was old then, even older now. What hasn't changed is the over-the-top friendly service (nearly as sweet as their tea), and the hot items fresh off the grill or outta the frier. My What-a-Cheeseburger all the way (ATW), was exactly the same as I remembered. Hot, tasty, with finely minced slaw and a complimenting chilli to bind it all together. Though it is a large sandwich, I was able to eat in the car and not get a drop on my shirt. Nice. Thanks for staying consistent over the years--a key ingredient for success in my opinion. I say when in Mt Pleasant "Give 'em a whirl" and experience what an iconic, southern burger joint is all about. read more

Awesome burgers fries and onion rings!!! Fast friendly service! Well worth the drive to Concord!

It's what you expect, I ordered the burger after the name. Play on words what-a-burger and fries was only 8 dollars and some change. Single fairly flat burger might add another paddy next time but hey for the price the it was worth it. Veggies on it where fresh and crispy. Fries are your standard Krinkle fries you get from the soda shop style burger joints. I would probably get a different more specific side next time in town like the fried pickles or Mac and cheese. The burger was good love to try the bbq bost burger in the future. The building is dated but appears to be a staple restaurant here in the community. and the bathrooms clean. The service was fast. read more

I got the BOST burger which was really good. The fries and onion rings were NASTY. No flavor, hard and gross. The burger my wife got had an ice cold bun and wasn't good. We waited 25min for our food. Big disappointment. read more

I have tried this place 3 times. It sucks. The worst ambiance in Cabarrus County. (what a dump). Tacky,tacky,tacky. The food is just as bad. Burgers are overcooked and the topping have no flavor. The order taker is constantly screaming out orders. Save your money and go a block down to Buddy's. read more

I got food from the truck in Rockwell toda as I have many times before. I quit getting onion rings and fries a while ago as they went from awesome to nasty and never got better. The burgers and hotdogs stayed good. However, the what's cheeseburger was missing toppings asked for and the toppings that were on it, were pretty scarce. We also got hotdogs that barely had any toppings. Asked for all the way and they were barely there. read more

This What-A-Burger was everything I hoped it would be! I had never seen one of these before working in Cabarrus County, NC. They look like those diners that have amazing burgers, and that's exactly what it is! We stopped by this location at 2:30pm, and it was still very busy! When we got up to the counter to order, we told the lady that it was our first time. She was so nice to us! She didn't rush us just because there were people behind us. She gave us her recommendations, and I ended up choosing one-the Bost burger, which is a patty with pulled pork and BBQ sauce and an onion ring on top. We also ordered a side of tots and onion rings. Boyfriend ordered a burger for him and a chocolate shake. We were able to sit outside, as it wasn't too hot. I will say that it took a little bit to get our food; however, we noted that they had a ton of to-go orders, and that must have slowed them down. My burger was so amazing. It was gooey and delicious. The patty had been cooked on the flat top, the pulled pork was tender and seasoned very well, and the onion ring added a bit of texture. It was such a good burger-I highly recommend it if you're looking to change up your burger order. The tots and onion rings were good-nothing exciting and a little smaller than we anticipated, but good overall. You should definitely try a What-A-Burger! read more

Kind of a wet drippy unpleasant day so why not drive halfway across the state for a slightly above average burger and fries? Problem is that when I got here they're pushing this cleveland burger thing and half price drinks... Nat Attack is W-A-B's answer to Golden Archie's signature sandwich and what an answer it is...Two significant beef patties, some sorta sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and more pickles on a 5" triple-bun. add fries and a drink and you're full up for less than $10 and not even thinking about dessert and reasonably certain you enjoyed it but you are too full to say for sure... Secondly, it's not a drive-in but there's picnic tables for dining alfresco in good weather. Inside has tables around to the left or booths in the main room. Next to the TV the menu boards roll through breakfast and dinner options plus assorted food truck news, events, and announcements. It's mostly a decent place to sit down for a visit over snacks; a good sort of old fashioned in a sea of modern uniformity... read more

Customer service is the best of any What-a-burger around and the staff is always friendly. They try to keep it clean and neat inside and out. A local favorite. read more

The food here was delicious. Only wished they offered Carolina gold sauce for their BBQ sandwich

Good food and service. I always get what I ask for when I come here. Just good traditional burgers, fries, onion rings, corn dogs, etc. I always stop if I'm hungry and want good food and service for a reasonable price. read more

Love the good food. Amazing and friendly cashiers. And always nice and neat. Great atmosphere.

Food great, fast service and the ambiance was awesome. Oldschool news clippings and supporting military. The folks running it (workers) were awesome. Best experience I have had in a long time. read more

It is what it is, a good burger. Good prices. Landmark. Thin juicy patty's. It's a small place, that stays busy. Be ready to wait a bit. But I think it's worth the wait read more

Good burgers. Great staff. Really good chocolate milshakes! I had been wanting to try one of these places since I moved to the area! Today the opportunity presented itself and I am glad we gave it a try! We got there around 2:30 and the restaurant was still packed! It took awhile for the food to come but that was to be expected for how busy they were. And while it took awhile I didn't mind. The burger I got was really good! The sides were ok and I might not get one next time. Maybe just a burger and a shake. Parking can be a bit of an issue, so, you are warned... read more

Stopped in here last night on the way back to Charlotte. Got a What-A-Cheeseburger, fries, and the most bizarre soft-drink I could ever image, a witchdoctor. Burger was great, cooked properly, but the bun and condiments when going all the way require a second patty for sure. Fries were basic crinkle cut and although cooked properly were forgettable. The witchdoctor, a suicide blend of sodas topped with fresh lemon and a pile of .... dill pickles, was interesting to say the least. Worth trying at least once. I'll debate on ordering again if I'm ever in this area of the south again. Service was great! Two jolly ladies talked me though the menu and even offered up some history of the restaurant and the secret witchdoctor recipe. Certainly not fine dining but for a Yankee in town looking for hidden pieces of the old south this is just what the doctor ordered. I hope to make it back again someday. read more

This place has always been awesome, but now it's even better with new options and still the same old favorites. I recommend a What-a-Cheeseburger all the way with chili, slaw, mustard and onions. Be sure to wash it down with a large cherry lemon Sun Drop. The staff is fantastic and the cooks got it down. Come for the food and stay for the staff. read more

We love our Whatabuger but they really need breakfast back and to stay open later on weekends.

Ordered 3 sandwiches and 2 sides for a pick up order. Everything was crammed into one bag, sandwiches were not even wrapped well, wet and leaking out. Order was wrung up wrong so we over paid. I don't recommend placing a call in order! Plus very expensive! read more

I've been going by this eating place for a while now.Mount Pleasant is a small town with four restaurants within a 1/4 mile radius.So far I've been in two of them.73 and Main the first,which is truly a dining pleasure.This time I wanted a burger.A little bigger place then I thought from the front. In the front door someone spoke welcoming me to What-A-Burger.A few people seated and one person ordering at the counter when I started to place my order.I chose a What-A-Cheeseburger and Onion Rings,And a Diet Coke belly washer. My order # was 412.Since 411 was in front of me I felt good about my wait.The couple in front of me had a fish plate and a grilled chicken salad that looked ok for a fast food restaurant.All of a sudden a boat load of people came in and the place was quickly filling up.As my # was called out the staff was busy making milkshakes,burgers,hotdogs and orders of fries and o-rings.Kinda serve your self type place get you napkin and ketchup and straw as you walk by.I did notice a nice touch as someone did bring an elderly couple out their tray.It was the gentleman's Birthday.My burger was fresh and hot as was my O-Rings.I sorta wished I had got a Hot dog.I figure that's another trip in the future.They are open for breakfast with a pretty menu.Country ham,Bacon and sausage plates with all the side are on the menu.Milkshakes,Coke products and tea.I had lettuce,tomato,pickle and mayo on my burger.Next time I want to try chilly and slaw.They offered a variety of burgers and chicken sandwiches,One you could order double meat and toppings.Might be my next choice a it was a then burger,two patties would have made it a nice'un.My order came to 9 bucks and some change.A kids menu is available to. read more

For 2 years in a row I have come back here for good food and great service. I live in SC, and we don't have these so I go to an event in Concord, NC and have lunch here each time. Prices are good, food is great, and the homemade milkshakes are incredible read more

Ranch burger with K, M, C, C, S & O... add a Lg witch dr with extra pickles and pickle juice!

This is an awesome small town joint. I grew up eating at this place and it still tastes the same as it did back then. Anything on the menu is great, and definitely try the peanut butter milkshake. They have some awesome drinks such as the witch doctor and the cherry lemon Sundrop. Out of all the What-A-Burger locations, this one will always be my favorite. read more

I was disappointed from my experience at #13. I paid $20 for my meal and had to sit through a conversation while eating about some random girls uterine prolapse and the bathroom was disgusting. Two toilets and one stall and the toilet wouldn't even flush. read more

It's a 15 min. drive from my house to the what a burger in Mt. Pleasant. I ordered 2 chicken sandwiches with lettuce and no tomatoes. When I got home each sandwich had tomatoes no lettuce. It's a shame I have to unwrap all of my food and double check it before I leave the restaurant because the idiots can't make a sandwich. What An idiot is more like it. They are rude if you have a problem. They will laugh in your face. Go to another What A Burger. read more

The quality of the burgers have really gone downhill. The only thing I like about this place is the grilled chicken salads. Cause it's really hard to mess up a salad. read more

I asked for a Ginger Ale, the girl said they didn't have ginger ale, then I was denied service.

Got the grilled ham and cheese which I get quite often from the WAB in Kannapolis and it was extremely disappointing . It had a different type of ham that was cut very thick and wasn't nearly as good as the thin cut I usually get in Kannapolis. It also wasn't cooked as much as what I usually get . Not crispy on the outside as well . Overall I was pretty disappointed read more

Great little place, had a burger and fries. Oh and get a chocolate peanut butter milkshake!

Food was awesome and the price was good. I love a good burger joint, and would totally recommend it if the cashier wasn't so rude when I ask for a refill. Other than the iffy customer service, it was perfect. Even the atmosphere was great! read more

I have been going there for years, by far the best resturant in Mount Pleasant. And the best cherry lemon sundrop around.

This place was great. Went with my husband after a late night class near by we took and it was amazing. Neither of us had never been before so we asked what was good and the person working the cash till walked us through and recommended some amazing food. We got double bacon cheese burgers each with the toppings we wanted and got a side of fries and a side of fried pickles and they were so good. The tea was amazing too. read more
