Whataburger - 1st visit - Burgers Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I was pretty excited to try Whataburger given all the hype surrounding the chain and the fact that it's still relatively new to North Carolina. After doing some research, I found that the Patty Melt is considered one of their signature items, so I ordered one with onion rings, spicy ketchup, and a drink. Starting with the positives: the onion rings were quite good. They had that slightly sweet, cornmeal-style breading that I really enjoy, and the quality itself was solid. They did seem to skimp a bit on what was supposed to be a large order, but I'd still order them again. The spicy ketchup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but I don't think it offers much over regular Heinz ketchup or than a slight kick. The Patty Melt, unfortunately, was disappointing. The burger itself was a good size, and there was a generous amount of cheese and onions. However, the Texas toast was extremely soft and had an artificial buttery flavor that reminded me more of margarine than grilled bread. When I think of a great patty melt, I expect bread that's nicely toasted on a flat top with some texture and crispness, not something that feels soggy and mushy. The onions also left a lot to be desired. They tasted like typical fast-food grilled onions rather than properly caramelized onions. Even places like Five Guys do a better job in this department, using onions that taste fresher, sweeter, and more thoroughly cooked. I was also given the creamy pepper sauce that comes with the Patty Melt. It was fine--neither particularly good nor bad--but I wouldn't miss it if it wasn't included next time. Overall, Whataburger is pretty mid. I can see why some people enjoy it, but for me there are better regional fast-food options already available, such as Culver's, and others I'd love to see make their way here, like Portillo's. I'd be willing to give Whataburger another try if I'm nearby, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit. read more

The chola drive thru girl had no personality and they forgot to put in my whataburger sauce which I payed for. The food was better than BK or McDonald but it was $14 for just a double burger and fries. Not impressed. Fast food has gone down hill across the board read more

First time trying whataburger- not bad at all! I'm not a fast food person (especially burger joints) but I really wanted to try it since I've seen so much hype about the grand opening. It was VERY busy on a friday night but we were able to snag a table inside. The staff are all very nice and accommodating, they have a server who will offer you condiments at your table which is very nice. We waited longer than most fast food places (it was slammed packed so understandable) I'd say around 15 minutes. We both got the bacon cheeseburger, it was pretty good. Veryyy filling and I enjoyed the beef patty, my only negative remark is it's too much bun for the size of the patty. The onion rings are great, no complaints I loved them. The fries were a tad cold, they didn't stand out as being great. They're like McDonald's fries, but I'd argue a step below. Despite this, whataburger is a great option if you want the fast food experience. I would definitely come back to try a shake and another burger on the menu. Overall- busy spot with pretty good food options! read more

Whataburger - Cheese burger, onion rings, fries. - Burgers Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Went here for lunch and didn't really like it. No fault of the restaurant!! The burger was large and when leaving I noticed a sign that I could have ordered a smaller sandwich. The fries were hot and fresh so was the burger. You definitely get your money's worth. Workers great and they come deliver food and condiments to your table. Store and bathroom really clean.. will be back for the smaller burger!! read more

My first time trying Whataburger and I'm sold. Their fries are like McDonald's and the burgers are huge! Thin patties so they are juicy and I subbed the mustard for ketchup and mayonnaise. Because the lines are so long they are serving their strawberry hibiscus refresher in the drive thru line and it's so good, not too sweet. read more

Excited to try this new burger place. They offer burgers and chicken. Only open for a couple of weeks there is always a line at the drive thru so I went inside. Order was promp taken. Lots of staff so I was surprised it took 10 minutes to have my order ready. I like they have lemon juice for tea and that the fries were unsalted. The burger was full of yellow mustard. So if you do not like a lot of mustard be aware. The burger was cold and the taste was average.Do not think I will be back anytime soon. read more

Raleigh NC got its 1st Whataburger Restaurant.....nice! When i got there it was really busy. The drive thru and the inside. The decor on the inside was cute. They had nice pictures on the wall and cute wall art. It didn't take too long for my order considering the amount of people already waiting for their orders. They even had someone walking around offering different condiments to the patrons.....nice touch Whataburger! Now on to the food. I got a bacon cheeseburger combo. The fries were really good..nice and hot. The burger was huge and very tasty. It came with crispy bacon and fresh lettuce and tomatoes. I will definitely return to try out other options. read more

This Whataburger is brand new so I'm sure they're still working out the kinks, but both times I've been have been pretty decent experiences. My mom and I came to try it out less than a week after the opening. We probably waited around 30 mins in line (but again, less than a week). The guy that took our order was very efficient and friendly. We both really enjoyed our burgers, they seemed fresher than say a McDonald's burger. Their fries are reminiscent of Mc D's fries, and those are my favorite type of fast food fries so I was pleased. I also really like their spicy ketchup...I made sure to get an extra packet so I can have some back at home lol. On my next visit, I had a coupon for a free burger. The burger was good but they forgot the cheese :( Other than that slight mistake, everything has been good! read more

It's Sunday at 8:21 PM. It's extremely crowded and the parking is horrible but I guess that's a good sign for a fast food restaurant lol unfortunately service was slow, but you can't blame anyone because it was just so crowded. Be inside doesn't look bad and the tables are clean. We ordered three jalapeño and cheese Whataburger's one spicy chicken sandwich and one more onion ring. The total came to $32.85. Jalapeño burger was OK nothing great. I like the crispiness of the chicken sandwich, but flavor is not there either. The onion rings are good. read more

Waited outside for 10mins before going in to order food. Ordering line is short but no table to sit. Might be better during off peak hours. The patty melt is the best and the onion rings are better than other fast food chains. The hamburger is ok, how a burger should be. I like the spicy ketchup with the fries. The picante sauce mix with salsa is really good. The banana pudding shake is very rich. The place is clean and bright, but wish they have more seats. read more

The Burger, Fries and Drink the entire meal was good. Burger was huge and well seasoned. I'm definitely going back and try something different. read more

I don't know what to say other than I was honestly underwhelmed. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was basically just another overpriced fast food burger place. I had the patty melt, fries, and banana pudding shake. The meat was flavorless and unseasoned. The fries were just okay - skinny and a bit soggy. The best thing I had was the shake. The service was good for the place being new. The staff was friendly, but it honestly wasn't worth the 30 minutes I sat waiting in the drive thru line. Maybe I'll give them another try in a few months once the hype has died down. read more

Great experience here. They opened April 2026, I visited a couple days after opening and they have 2 drive thru lines with employees standing outside to take your order, similar to CFA. Got the whataburger and medium fry with the jalapeño ranch. Really enjoyed my food! read more

I love the food, but the people working customer service at the drive through act like they hate their jobs. I suggest maybe having a customer service meeting or paying them more so their discontent with their employment isn't so obvious. read more

This is like a leveled up mcdonald's! Since it's still so new the line took about 20-30mins before we're got our food, but everything is better here, the fries, the meat quality, specialty drinks, and it's open super late. I got a burger with fries and a prickly pear lemonade, delectable. read more

Both orders had problems with cold fries and onion rings. My boyfriend burger was undercooked. read more

I tried the patty melt, absolutely no flavor the fries were not fresh. I wouldn't go back here.

I really wanted to like this place. My overall experience was not very good. I'll start with what I liked. 1. The burger was thin but filled the bun. 2. The medium drink was 32oz, no need to upsize. 3. The price was reasonable. Now, the downside: 1. The burger was bland. It has no grilled or charcoal taste. The mustard overpowers all other flavors, and I had the bacon cheeseburger! 2. The fries were average at best. Thin like McDonald's but not as crispy. 3. The burger had lots of lettuce chunks that hid the burger taste. I felt like I was eating a mustard lettuce sandwich. 4. I waited 33 MINUTES for my food once I ordered! The place was crowded and very noisy. Lots of people standing around waiting for a table. 5. I had to maneuver through a maze of people to get a drink refill and then back again to get napkins because they don't put them on your tray when they serve your food. I don't see myself going back for another try. Mediocre burger, average fries, 33 minute wait, cramped store layout. With all the choices available for a burger, I would rank Whataburger near the bottom for taste, efficiency, and overall experience. Dang it, I was really hoping I'd like it, I had so much about it....oh well, I'll just go back to Char Grill, Cookout, McDonald's, or Burger King. read more

I took my son, daughter-in-law and grandson to eat here. It was VERY busy. Bottom line is that the burger was tasteless and not juicy at all, but quite expensive for what you get. The burger was fairly large, just not very good. The fries were kind of dry and tasteless, a lot like McDonald's. We won't be going back! read more

The food is better during the day than at night. At night there is only ONE line (which is so dumb) and they take forever to get your order and food. Then when you get the food it's WRONG. I literally have to check behind them every single time bc I know my order is going to be wrong. Hire better workers for the late night shift because it's not giving Texas. Texas whataburgers late night staff knows what they are doing. I wouldn't recommend this location. They need to seriously look into the night shift because it's ridiculous. One night they don't have gravy. The next night they don't have any onions. I waited for 30mins and they gave me cold fries. WTH did I wait 30mins for? It's insane. read more

Walker was doing a great job outside coordinating the overflow of traffic! Very polite and helpful!!!!
