What's on the Whataburger menu
Whataburger has been grilling five-inch burgers since 1950, when it opened in Corpus Christi, Texas. Every sandwich is cooked when you order it, so you can change any topping without slowing the line much. Most restaurants never close, which is why the orange-and-white stripes are a familiar late-night stop across Texas and a growing part of the South, Southwest and Mountain West.
We pulled the prices below from Whataburger's own ordering site on October 27, 2026, for five restaurants in San Antonio, Plano, Phoenix, Tulsa and Kennesaw, Georgia, and show the low and high figure when stores differed. Calories for most items come from the same ordering pages, which build the totals from the standard recipe. Breakfast calories come from the chain's older posted nutrition PDF, so treat those as approximate.
