| - The service was very friendly and attentive, I was pleasantly surprised to get this at a fast food place, for a sec I had walked back in time to the era of soda shops and diners and expected to see roller skating car hops next.
Though I had a to go order, I was met by two young lovely girls, one who brought me my meal in the bag and the other my drink.
Along with that came the gal with a tray, at first I thought it would be candy or cigars though on closer inspection it was varieties of ketchups and napkins and such.
I would come visit whataburger again just to see that.
Alas, even with great marketing and happy go lucky people, I arrived at what I came for, the root beer shake and avocado bacon burger.
If I could rate just on the staff, it would be 5 stars all the way, though the food this trip rather failed me. Minus a star for charging for the full meal deal when I only wanted a sandwich. Not so happy about that and didn't notice till I got home (about 2 blocks from here).
The fries, surprisingly, were cold and seemed like your generic McDonalds frozen extra proceesed variety.
The burger and bun were smushed and cooked a boring medium all over -- granted I was never asked how I wanted it cooked, and this isn't smashburger -- it almost seemed microwaved from frozen. Aren't these supposed to be fresh?
My 'guac spread' had chunks of avo, though it wasn't quite what imagination was dreaming for 'avocado' in mind.
The bacon was plentiful, though a bit undercooked for my taste.
On the plus side, the sauce, oh whatever mystery sauce, it was quite good and just about made up for the otherwise bland burger.
The root beer shake was, well, interesting. Consistent thickness throughout if not a bit runny, like root beer flavored milk with some ground up potato or thickening something to give more texture, okay it was meant for a straw!
Hey it tasted fine, so I ended up putting it in the freezer for later. After several minutes it became root beer soft serve and now spoonable. Yay. If whataburger sold it like that, you could call it dessert.
Tldr; Excellent service, meh food. Give these guys another try, see what the next visit brings...
