    I remember discussing the fast food chain Whataburger with a friend some years ago, when they told me that the Charlotte metro area has our own chain called Whataburger. I was very confused and then intrigued to discover What-a-burger has been around for over 50 years, and is in no way affiliated with the well known Texas chain. It appears that there once were at least 15 given the fact that this particular restaurant is labeled as number 15, however there now appears to be only a few remaining in some of the satellite cities of Charlotte like Concord and Gastonia. These charming restaurants are like stepping into a Time Machine back to the days of 50s drive in fast food diners. I finally got the opportunity to come in for lunch. They have counter service and several small tables and booths to sit and enjoy your meal. I opted for a burger and a hot dog all the way so I could try it like they usually serve. The burger was delicious! I a nice crisp smash patty on a soft bun, very juicy. The hotdog was very good although I think next time I would get it without the slaw. I topped it all off with a cup of cheer wine that the sweet lady behind the counter was kind enough to top off for free after coming by the table and noticing I had finished mine. I love that small town friendly service and this place just radiates with it. I'm not sure what the future holds now that the Texas chain is encroaching on Charlotte. I'd love to see a world where both can exist. The Texas chain may seem new, shiny, and enticing, but I hope locals don't forget this hidden gem tucked right into the community.

    Onion rings and what-a-cheeseburger with bacon
    Larry Q.

    I'm sure this is a long time Concord favorite but for someone who just moved here, I found that the burger and the onion rings were just average. The thing that really got me was being charged $.55 for water and then they passed on the credit card fee.

    What-A-Cheeseburger

    What a deliciously juicy burger the what-a-cheeseburger is! Sometimes simplicity is plain perfect. The partner-in-dine put his foot down and went for the footlong. He was in hotdog heaven. We were glad to learn that they now accept card payments.

    What-a-Salisbury and fries
    Daniel P.

    MLB is out in Asheville for work and I just left the doc's office with a note for the boss and only the vaguest idea of what sort of plague I'm carrying but I'm hungry and it's a nice day for a short drive in the county. Pull into a large lot on the back end of lunch and try to figure out when this ever was a drive-in: guessing pre-history. So I head in and try not to breathe on anyone because, well, plague... and request a W-A-Salisbury (plus lettuce, tomatoe, mayo, and pickles with a spear through it's head) fries and a cup of water. Head around the corner, find a table in the back and relax for a bit; my food arrives in less than ten minutes and a smiley face comes with all for a modest sum. An old fashioned honest little burger in an old timey setting that doesn't need tarted-up tomatoey-paste to sell it's product. It's W-A-B all day long, yea for you if you get it, don't go bragging if'n you don't. ...and this visit completes the set except for the trucks.

After scanning the menu, I decided on the OG Burger to keep it simple. I did take note that all items are sold separately if you want fries and drinks. The menu doesn't have a massive selection, which can be easier for me at times. Since I ordered the side of fries, I also grabbed the sauce bundle for a fry party! The sauces were ok, but I don't think I'd purchase them again. The burger patties had good flavor and paired nicely with the fresh onions on the burger. The cheese was melted and layered between the patties bringing it all together. To me, the fries weren't as fresh as I would have preferred, but overall did enjoy the burger from here. Seating can be difficult depending on when you visit but we were able to find a table to enjoy our meals together with no issue.

The fried egg, bacon, and melted cheese combination was absolute perfection. My mother--who hadn't eaten a burger in over a year--decided to build her own, served alongside a metal bowl of seasoned hand-cut fries, crisp lettuce, tomato, pickles, and red onion. * The Standouts: Both patties were amazingly juicy, thick, and packed with flavor. To top it off, our server brought over a lineup of dipping sauces--chipotle, aioli, and a spicy mayo-based sauce that was complete fire and elevated the sides to another level. Chef's kiss all around. Safe to say my mom was thrilled with her choice, and we'll definitely be back soon!

The place was bustling with people trying different places within the food hall. I decided to try the GOAT burger with sweet potato fries. Upon receiving my food, i was less than impressed with the appearance. Nothing like photos from other yelp reviewers and the other Johnny Roger location. It was very small portion of fries considering up charge of $2.50. The burgers bun was not toasted and it was a basic bun, cool to the touch. I noticed my burger was missing the candied bacon that was listed for the components of the burger. I went back up to ask for it and the cashier was more than helpful. She asked me if I had the onion straws on it as well and I looked only to see two small pieces. She took it upon herself to get me more to put on top. For that I was thankful. When another worker handed me my missing candied bacon, I looked at it and was slightly disgusted at the sight of floppy soggy bacon. But I went with it and went back to my table to put it on my burger. When I went to pick it up it was absolutely cold! So I went back to let them know and they took it from me and literally popped it in the microwave. At this point I'm just hungry and ready to eat. There was no crisp to the bacon at all and the candied part was basically just to douse it in some sweet syrup. So to sum it all up. I was very disappointed in the quality of the product compared to the $17 price tag. A cool not really grilled burger (assuming they were broiled or microwaved?) no grill marks, with soppy bacon and basic bun. Also they charge $4 for a sweet tea....... Just disappointment all around, except for the helpful cashier.

The restaurant was a ghost town on a Sunday evening. Maybe everyone is still eating Thanksgiving leftovers? Since there were 3 of us, we opted for an order of 3 tenders, 3 sliders, and 3 fry flavors. It was definitely enough for us to all share. The tenders were nice and crispy and the sweet chili sauce was good. I picked the Green Flag slider with bacon and pickles, very tasty. The little burger was cooked perfectly. For the fries we went with beer cheese and bacon, MW dusted, and Cajun. The Cajun were the best of the 3. The MW dust is a little on the sweet side which I didn't mind because I was dipping mine in the leftover sweet chili sauce. I was hoping to be able to pick tots as one of the 3 options but it was fries or tots, no mixing. I was also a little disappointed that the entrees options did not come with any sides. Since they were dead, the hostess was also our server. She was sweet. She answered all of our questions with ease. She didn't check back as much as I would have preferred for refills and the check but it wasn't a terrible wait. I think I was just ready to hit the road for the long ride home. They have a serious number of TVs for a sports bar so I'm sure if you are a football fan, you'll be able to watch your game, or better yet, a NASCAR race once the season starts back in February. Overall, decent bar food with plenty of TVs for sports spectators.
