Not the best burger I ever ate but they deliver some badass coupons to our office every few months. Some of the few times I've had leftovers after dining in fast food.

Whataburger always gives me a jacked up tummy. Never fails.

I still would go get it and cover the burger w/ BBQ sauce.

I much prefer a Braums or Wes's Burger in Fayetteville.

This is What-A-Burger in West Columbia, SC. It's a different company than Whataburger in Texas. Both companies were founded in 1950 and each filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the other in 2003-2004. Turned out neither knew of the other's existence until well into the 1970's.

There's also a "Whatta-Burger" in Russellville, AR started in 1967 that's an Arkansas institution. There's supposedly an agreement between them and the chain that they won't expand outside of Russellville under than name, and the chain won't ever come to Russellville. So when the Felter's sons wanted to move to Fayetteville and start a joint, they called it "Feltner Brothers" instead of Felter's Whatta-Burger.

Now, technically, both restaurants exist in the same town, but they have different names (though some will claim that Felter Brothers isn't as good as Russellville's Feltner's Whatta-Burger).
