I love What-a-Burger. Food is good quality and the staff is always friendly. I visited during a lunch rush with the lobby filling up all at once. Staff got everyone's orders out quickly and remained very friendly. I always know I'll get a great meal & good service. read more

Whataburger - My What-a-Meal after ten minutes of heaven - Burgers Near Me - Athens, Georgia

It's a Whataburger. Employees were respectful and prompt. With how nice and clean this location is , it must be a newer location.

It was a very positive experience, courtney helped us with the coupons... my niece and I went before her work shift

Service is terrible. I understand good help is hard to find, but hire a manager that can handle the operations, then find employees that can do the job. We spent over sixty dollars on a takeout meal for the family. There were several workers working and not very many customers. We waited over 40 minutes to get our food and then when we go home, the order was missing several items, no apple slices, and two missing orders of onion rings. This is a lot of money to spend for missing items and extremely slow slow service. I would guess that business isn't very good at this location due to poor service. Very disappointed. read more

Their food is so, so good. I just love all there burgers. Their service is amazing. They aren't rude at all. Every single one I have went to has not disappointed me one bit. The ambience is nice. read more

A typical fast food hamburger joint. The prices are a bit higher than other burger chains but their milkshakes are a notch above others in this market. read more

Took my family for breakfast on 1/4/2026 at 10 am. We ordered at the kiosk as nobody was at the counter. Family of four ordered a total of eight items. We were the only people at a table and nobody waiting at the counter. It took 22 minutes from the time on the receipt to receive four items at our table. We had to go back to the counter and wait for somebody to help us, then show the receipt and tell them what we were missing. Definitely not a breakfast place at all. Food was mediocre, customer service was bad. read more

I do not and will not go here for anything unless I'm interested in waiting 40+ minutes and having a wrong order. The "operating partner" Issack Bethane not only threw a bag of food around he was very nasty cursing at the employees and tried to use that time with me. read more

Your drive through line is real slow! I've been sitting in it for 15 mins! Really makes no sense! 7 of us waiting!!! Pull up to window to pay at 11 and still waiting!!! read more

Whataburger - Burgers Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Order was wrong food was cold it's a dump don't bother going there. They don't give you what you ordered they give you what ever they want to give you. read more

Finally made it to the Whataburger in Athens during their grand opening week. The drive thru was packed, and took me about 25 minutes to get through (to be expected because new restaurant/busy/etc). The staff were very friendly and working very hard. I have 4 stars instead of 5 simply because my wait was a little long and they forgot to include my ketchup. Burger was exceptional and fries were so so. Will be going back!! read more

Whataburger - #1 - Burgers Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Went through the drive thru at lunch on the 13th and ordered a double cheese burger and fries. The hamburger must have come from the refrigerator. The bun was cold, the meat was cold, and the wrapper even felt cold less than five minutes after I received the sandwich. The fries however were hot as they had just been cooked. read more

The worst Whataburger I have ever been to. Waited almost 30 minutes and our food was cold. Dining room dirty. No napkins. Trash over flowing. Terrible!! I would give 0 stars if I could. read more

Athens restaurants are almost always very good when they open and then they start going downhill because ... it's Athens and they simply can't get employees. Whataburger decided to skip ahead and started with not being able to get enough employees. read more

Went to the Whataburger on Atlanta Highway in Athens at 3:30 pm today. No other customers are inside, so I figured I'd get my food in a matter of minutes. 20 minutes later, I still have no food. I asked for a refund and left. This isn't the first time I've experienced terrible service at this location. I can't imagine this Whatburger will still be operating six months from now.​ read more

Finally made my way to Whataburger. I tried to go inside only to be told that inside dining was not available yet! This should be made aware to the customer with a simple sign on the door or in the parking lot. As I watched an older couple struggle to get through the parking lot just ahead of me. The drive-through was relatively quick, even though the attendees did not know how to get me my free burger for setting up the app on my phone (which you can not order online at this time). Also, the time of time may have helped with the speed of the service. I was there at about 2:00 in the afternoon. I ended up getting the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and a drink. The chicken was not overcooked and quite tasty. The fries were just average. The drink contained too much ice for me. read more

6:30 am...I'm the only order, dine in. I worked a long shift at Browns Ferry and was to tired to cook so I figured I'd get some fast food. This is not fast food it's slow food. I've been waiting for over 20 minutes for my order. It would have been less time if I had cooked for myself or gone to McDonald's. If you're in a hurry breakfast or lunch then take a pass on this location. I'm still waiting as I write this review. Update: my order was wrong. I ordered the cheddar jalapeno biscuit and got a regular biscuit instead. read more

kenyeta was an absolutely amazing server! she made my whole experience! The food was pretty alright but the service from Kenyatta made it better. read more

just Meh.. not really seeing or tasting what the hype is about.. it's like an ihop and a steak 'n shake collided. maybe it was the time of day (after11p) but still the food shouldn't taste any different.. either way, prolly wouldn't return. at least not to this location read more

Horrible service. The cashier couldn't understand JUST LETTUCE TOMATO MUSTARD AND KETCHUP. I repeated it 5 times and she still got the order wrong and had to redo it. All of that came with an attitude. My last trip. read more

The burgers has no flavor. The fries were ok . The employees were friendly. But going to try it again

Might be the slowest customer service of all time took me 30 minutes to get through the drivethru when there was 1 car ahead of me

I had gone during the grand opening week and wasn't really impressed with their service but the food had been good. Just went back tonight for the second time and Breanna who had taken our order was pretending to speak in an accent that it made it seem we were talking to a recording. She had also been giggling in the background that she didn't even get the rest of our order correct. She had asked if I had wanted sauces with my wings which I did, got up to the window and was charged for the sauce (which wasn't even in my bag). Went inside to grab the sauce and they were out of it....overall definitely not impressed with this location and hoping the one opening near Athens Tech will have better service. And to top it off, part of the order was wrong. Update: just got home and only got 8 of my 9 whatawings! read more

Obviously, they are great at marketing and hype. Other than that, it's only one notch above Racetrac and QuickTrip. Add the hour to get through the drivethru with $36 for 2 combo meals, Grindhouse, Clocked, or Groove Burgers is where you'll want to spend that kind of money for your burger fix read more

Very nasty food drinks were flat the furniture was falling apart had to wait for service first time eating here and will be the last

The service is so terrible food doesn't come out for at least 20 minuets. The drive through moves at abhorrent speeds. It seems like they don't even want people to order. I saw people getting out of their cars to go inside to see what the issue was. read more

Should be renamed to what a farce! Trying this popular spot for the very first time. What a waste. Well they turned a potential custom to a never again customer. They took an extremely detailed order and then they provided less than was discussed.As we sat in the drive thru for quite some time, my dinner mate asked was the food going to be hot based on the time it took to get to the pickup window. She was reassured that everything is made fresh and would be hot. Burgers were cold with a slice of unmelted cheese, which would have melted to some degree if the burger had been hot. Sad experience, was quite the disappointment. I'm ok if what a burger heads on back to Cali. P.S. did I mention that they are not cheap burgers. read more

Everyone said you have to try Whataburger so I did for the first time & I was not impressed, don't get me wrong the burger is bigger but it's just another burger I ordered the #5 and the fries are just a knock off of McDonald's fries, so to me just another burger joint read more

The Good, staff Very Friendly and welcoming. Restaurant was very clean and well kept. The Bad, Burgers are nothing more than a below average fast food burger. Meet was low quality and plain. I got a double and it was sooo messy I couldn't pick it up. Just don't get the hype. Basically Burger King food 3.2 out of 10 read more

Kept seeing all of the cars lined up and, though I'm not much of a fast food person, decided to give it a try. The nearly $10 burger and fries were slightly better than most fast food burgers. Maybe it's that their fries were cooked in fresh grease. The Whataburger is rather large and the basic ingredients listed are mustard, lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles. I asked to omit the onions since I don't like them and add mayonnaise. So, when I got it home, it had onions; the mayonnaise had been added, but there was no mustard. So, there you have it: $10 for basic burger and can't take directions. read more

This is the slowest drive-through service on a daily basis for burgers in Athens. The employees at the window are always very nice, but the management can't make the kitchen run properly. I just waited to grab a soda only snd there was one car in front of me who had already ordered. It took 17 minutes for me to pick up a soda. There were 7 cars behind me when I pulled out. It's this way every time. read more

The service is very slow! I witnessed customers walking out. The food was fair, barely warm, Staff is unprofessional, on phone. Management just seems to exist. They are not running the place, diligently. Manager wore same gloves for money and food. read more

Nothing special, burger was ok as were the fries. Service is very slow when compaired to other fast food joints.

My friends and I went around 10pm last night we got there and they were NOT packed at all maybe 2 cars and no people inside. First we went inside they saw us and they never came to us we Waited at least 10 mins or less and they never came, Then we went through the drive through and there was 3 cars in-front of us and they were still taking long. Mind you it wasn't like there was only 1 or 3 people alone no there where more. Once we got to the window the lady which I forgot to get the name of but she was very rude. we asked for another straw and she was so rude it wasn't like she had to go far to get it, it was right in-front of her. I honestly wish people would hire great and nice workers instead of people who don't wanna be there. If you as a worker don't wanna be there then why be there. We were so nice and y'all wanted to be rude which is not right at all. Anyway the food was okay could've been better I guess. Now would I give them another chance maybe because I'm nice yes. read more

Had to wait 40 minutes in line and food was cold and order was wrong.Will not be back. Not even worth a star!

This is the slowest "fast food" place. It is not worth the long wait and it has not improved since they opened. I don't understand why businesses open with terrible service and employees that are not able to perform their job. You would think they would have learned from Chick-Fil-A. read more

How complicated is it to anticipate your crowd and not run out of food before cooking more? Brand new and this is what we get? Absolutely do not get in a hurry at the atl hwy store, it's ridiculous...food is ok, but hype made me expect better. People spending millions on a new store and then run it like this, truly hard to understand read more

Extremely slow service I know the business is new but the concept of fast food is fast food they have poor excuses as to why they can't handle capacity when companies such as chick fil a have streamlined the process I will NEVER come here again. read more

Sat at the front of the line for almost 30 mins waiting on my order only for me to never get it because it "wasn't in the system" after I had already paid. No urgency to help make my order or figure out why it wasn't there read more
