Located conveniently off I-35 in Live Oak, TX, Whataburger stands as a beloved American fast-food restaurant that expertly blends classic breakfast fare with mouthwatering chicken and signature burgers. This vibrant eatery is a go-to spot for those craving bold flavors and hearty meals that satisfy at any time of day.

Whataburger’s menu is a treasure trove of indulgent options, each crafted to deliver an unmistakably fresh and flavorful experience. For chicken lovers, the #13 Whatachick’n® Strips Whatameal® is a standout — three crispy, golden strips served alongside fluffy Texas toast and your choice of gravy or dipping sauce, paired perfectly with medium fries and a refreshing drink for just $12.99. If you seek a spicier option, the #12 Spicy Chicken Sandwich features a tender grilled chicken filet nestled in a soft brioche bun, elevated with fresh tomato, crisp lettuce, and the house-favorite WhataSauce®. For those who want to snack or share, the Whataburger Whatachick'n® Bites, with nine pieces, are a crispy delight that’s simply irresistible.

Burger enthusiasts are equally spoiled here. The #8 Double Meat Whataburger Jr.® stacks two juicy beef patties onto a small, perfectly toasted bun, layered with fresh tomato, lettuce, pickles, and diced onions, all brightened by classic mustard — a harmonious symphony of textures and flavors for just $6.75. Adventurous eaters will appreciate the #4 Jalapeño & Cheese Whataburger®, where peppery jalapeños meet melty American cheese, creating a spicy, satisfying bite that lingers delightfully on the palate.

Complete your meal with a comforting dessert — warm Hot Apple Pies exude a sweet, cinnamony aroma and flaky crust, while the indulgent cinnamon roll or fudgy brownie provide a decadent finish to your dining experience.

Stephan was exceedingly attentive and fun... and made a fantastic Whatafresher! They were nice enough to make a biscuits and gravy order for me at the last second of breakfast, hot and fresh. This location is always clean, friendly, and gets my order right!

Austin, the manager, gives exceptional service every time I get food. He’s always there when I’m there and I’m glad that he’s the one I’m charge when I’m there. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE and I do not say that lightly because I am a pretty tough critic and give reviews everywhere I go. Give this man a raise, he deserves it.

Great service, Chris is the cashier at this location and literally from the time we walked in it was service with a smile. He welcomed us to WhataBurger even was able to upsell me on an item, he was so genuine!! The manager was even asking customers how they were doing and if they enjoyed the food. This was unlike any WhataBurger I've ever eaten ate. I'm going back here again for sure!!! The chicken strip meal was Amazing!

I went through the drive thru for a quick bite. The server was polite and professional. They repeated the order back to me to ensure accuracy, which I appreciated. Everything was correct with my order, and the time lapse from ordering to delivery was above expectations.
