Love the food but the service is still super slow 12 McDonald's has 12 cars go through to the 2 or 3 in the drive

Mmmmm, well, it was our first time after hearing so much hype of positive and negative influence! Our experience started with a 35 min wait in the drive thru! Out of amazement, which so many drive thru's get wrong, is the accuracy of the order, our's was perfect! We checked our order and began to "dig in!" It was good ? we'll definitely return for another meal, but, inside the restaurant!

Great place to eat, if you're tired of the other regional burger chains. If you come here be prepared to wait. Whataburger is still in the curious, very few Kansas City area locations phase. I waited over a half-hour for my patty melt and fries. I did however receive my Dr. Pepper Shake (which is excellent) immediately. The drive thru line and inside lines can be very long and I went at 3 pm on a Saturday. Once my meal arrived, I was pretty hungry at that point. The fries are just okay (made better with the spicy ketchup) and the patty melt was excellent. The burger was massive compared to other chains and the bread seemed fresh. Overall a great burger chain with a friendly over-worked staff.

The food was tasty. The drive thru was wrapped around the building. But we ate inside, there were a few people ahead but it moved fast. Wait time for food was about 15 min. Overall it was a good time. We ordered burgers and spicy chicken sandwich, was pretty spicy but really good. ?

The hype was not worth the wait. Bun was sub par, thin and dense. The burger was plain. We arrived just before the rush and our food was barely even warm. I also don’t see any flavor difference nor any heat from the spicy ketchup. One and done. Thanks anyways.

Yummy burgers, I loved the onions and mustardy taste to the cheeseburger. The fries were okay. The best part was the staff, who were super friendly! We got our food within 15 minutes so it wasn’t too long.

What a joke! There is nothing special about this place at all. My husband said it taste just like the #2 from Sonic ( if they still had a #2).Don’t get me wrong, the food was fine, fries were okay, better with the spicy ketchup. I’m glad I waited to come here. I would have been very angry if I had waited I. Some crazy long line for this.

After waiting in line for at least an half hour, 15 cars deep in 8 degree weather for the supposed holy grail of cheeseburgers I am finally at the pearly gates of the Whataburger drive through window. The staff are busy but with the number of workers on hand they should be slamming orders out the door, or window. My order was simple. One single, one double, one triple, a jalapeño burger, 3 cokes, one diet Dr Pepper, 4 shakes, 3 chocolate, one vanilla. What did I get? Mass confusion on the drinks. In fact they gave me someone elses, I gave them back. Always check your bags.One of the first thing I do after retrieving my order and after I have checked my bags, I hit the frys while I am driving. I had looked forward to hot fries after waiting a half hour in eight degree weather. .....Nope. I hit the first out of four bags. Cold, second bag cold etc. Not only cold but taste like cardboard. What they did was make a large batch of fries and left them sitting under the heat lamps trying to cut corners. Also a side note I didnt order malts, I ordered shakes. I can't stand malts. But they sent us malts. After fighting to get out of the parking lot. Almost literally, thats another story I get home. The cheeseburgers are sub-par. No where near the hype. Long wait, untrained staff, cold food etc.I eat out a lot due to a busy life. I don't mind spending money on good food. I don't even mind waiting in eight degree weather. But you have to deliver. The Whataburger in Independence Mo compared to the Tula Oklahoma location are day and night different.Bottom line. Avoid Whataburger in Independence Mo. Way over priced for what you get. I paid right at $65.00 to feed four people. The only one who made out was my dog. And he wasn't impressed.

Good food. Place was clean. Employee was courteous. I would go again if it were closer to me. Or order out if it was closer to me. My shake was so full that it oozed out of the top and took me forever to clean that off. It kept oozing out. That would be my only complaint.

Tried for the first time. Not impressed at all! Very bland and dry. We got the triple too! No seasonings and tasteless. The fries are plain jane also. 5 guys is waaaay better I might even say the overrated Whalburgers is better?
