It only makes sense that the national chain's birthplace would be home to its largest restaurant. The building is two stories high and spans a whopping 6,000 square feet!
Inside, it looks like any ordinary Whataburger...save for the two levels of seating, of course.

You'll feel like you're dining in the food court of a big city shopping mall rather than a humble fast food joint - and humble indeed is Whataburger's origin story.
Back in the 1950s, a local entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson decided to open a small burger stand on Ayers Street whose mission was twofold.
TripAdvisor/TikiTex
Firstly, he wanted the burgers to be so big, they would need two hands to hold. His second goal was for patrons to exclaim, "What a burger!" after taking their first bite - hence the name "Whataburger." There's even a bench inside where you can sit next to a sculpture of him!

Texas Record-Setters

What Are Some Other "Largest" Record-Setters To Visit In Texas?

They say everything's bigger in Texas, and that definitely applies to the Corpus Christi Whataburger - as well as these three locations.

  • The Oasis on Lake Travis is the largest outdoor restaurant in Texas, sitting almost three thousand people between its massive indoor dining area and several outdoor patios. It's located on the banks of Lake Travis, and serves a delicious Tex-Mex menu that includes tacos, enchiladas, fajitas - and bottomless chips and salsa that could easily fill you up before you start if you're not careful!
  • Whoopee Bowl Antiques is a massive antique mall located in the tiny town of Canutillo, and it's put the El Paso-adjacent town on the map. This eleven-thousand square foot shopping center is the kind of antique store you can get lost in for hours. You never know what you'll find on the shelves here, but some of the specialties include furniture, video game systems, and vintage memorabilia that will take you right back to childhood.
  • Lagoonfest Texas is located in the middle of the Houston Metro Area - not exactly a tropical paradise - which is why it's all the more surprising to find a massive lagoon there. Texas' largest lagoon spans twelve acres, and this man-made water destination is a crystal-clear paradise with slides, an inflatable waterpark, and even sailboats to rent. The lagoon even has a full food court on site with burgers, pizza, and tacos.
