Whataburger is to Texas what In-N-Out is to California. Both companies are still family-owned, regional chains, and their respective fans stand strong behind their favorite.
As a Texan, I can say with confidence that when it comes to burgers, BBQ, and grilled meats, we don't mess around. However, when analyzing a burger, many factors come into play — the condiments, freshness of the vegetables, and bun are all extremely important considerations.

They have a variety of Tex-Mex inspired sauces to choose from for your fries or burger, including spicy ketchup, picante sauce, and salsa verde.
