Whataburger Fast food restaurant
Since 1950, Whataburger has proudly served a bigger, better burger. It all started when a young entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson had a bold idea: to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold, and so good that after a single bite customers couldn't help but exclaim, “What a burger!” He named his humble burger stand in Corpus Christi, Texas, “Whataburger.” Over six decades later, we're still family owned and operated. Each and every Whataburger® is still made to order. We still use 100% pure beef and serve it on a big, toasted five-inch bun. And now, as we proudly serve burgers, chicken, salads and breakfast at more than 800 Whataburger locations across the country, that first burger stand is still close to our hearts.
Jack in the Box Fast food restaurant
Jack in the Box has always been the place for those who live outside the box. Where you can try new things and order what you want when you want it, while always getting it fast, hot and fresh. If you love the classics, burgers make up the core of our menu with the signature Jumbo Jack®, Ultimate Cheeseburger, the Buttery Jack™ and the Sourdough Jack® on our trademark toasted sourdough. If you seek good value, we offer Jack’s Deals with our famous two tacos, chicken nuggets, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger and more. We don’t dictate cravings. We serve our full menu, including breakfast, all day every day. Want a burger for breakfast or breakfast sandwich for dinner? You got it.
