| - Not many people know of this drive-in "chain." There are a few locations left, including this one at downtown Concord, also one in downtown Mooresville (and I think 2 or 3 more around the area). 2 things you need to know: 1. this is not the same What-A-Burger chain out west (thus no point in clicking on the link posted above) and 2. cash only! They have an ATM machine inside, but then I'm against unnecessary surcharges, and nothing is more painful than looking for your own bank's ATM machine when all you can think of is wolfing down a burger. FYI, downtown Concord is Wachovia & BB&T friendly, with branches in walking distance, but you (and I) are out of luck with BoA... go figure.
For the longest time I didn't know I was ordering a What-A-Burger, I thought "wth is a Water-Burger" but I ate it regardless. Pardon my lack of understanding on local accent. Then I realized Water-Burger is indeed What-A-Burger, that led me to ask why is it called What-A-Burger. Then I realized What-A-Burger is a larger version of their burger, hence What A Burger! (think exclaimation), which explained why I felt so darn stuffed everytime I ate there. Nowadays I mostly order a regular cheeseburger, with chili & slaw & onion (I'm a southern gal when it comes to my burgers). A quick PSA, their burger patties are thin, so don't expect some sloppy looking thick burger.
They also have other offerings, like hot dog, corn dog, chicken wings, fried seafood, chuckwagon, bbq etc... For drinks they have your typical options, and witch doctor and Sundrop (you know you are in the South). For sides there are fries (a-ok), onion rings (not bad) and tater sticks (oh yeah!). Don't worry if you are slightly confused, here's the secret, you can't go wrong with Cherry Lemon Sundrop and Tater Sticks... they go with any entree option you have decided on. The best part, it doesn't break the bank to eat here. Oh yes, you can thank me later... and you're welcome :)
