Reviews for Whataburger in Independence, MO
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. Thanksanyways. Read more
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, waspretty spicy but really good. ???? Read more
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 didhowever receive my Dr. Pepper Shake (which is excellent) immediately. The drive thru line and inside lines can be very long andI 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 withthe 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. Read more
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 tocome 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 onhand they should be slamming orders out the door, or window. My order was simple. One single, one double, one triple, ajalapeño 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 myorder and after I have checked my bags, I hit the frys while I am driving. I had looked forward to hot fries after waiting ahalf hour in eight degree weather. .....Nope. I hit the first out of four bags. Cold, second bag cold etc. Not only cold buttaste like cardboard. What they did was make a large batch of fries and left them sitting under the heat lamps trying to cutcorners. Also a side note I didnt order malts, I ordered shakes. I can't stand malts. But they sent us malts. After fighting toget out of the parking lot. Almost literally, thats another story I get home. The cheeseburgers are sub-par. No where near thehype. 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 theTula Oklahoma location are day and night different. Bottom line. Avoid Whataburger in Independence Mo. Way over priced for whatyou 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. Read more
I went today with my family and experience a What-A-burger for only the second time in my life. The first time was in Texas. I... have to eat gluten free so i ordered a grilled chicken sandwich without the bun. Of course i ordered all the extra addons and amglad i did. Had a great experience and enjoyed my time. I will not complain about long lines and extra wait. That, to me, ispart of the process of a growing business that we are excited. And I?ve seen a few places where bringing this restaurant hashelped by transforming an abandoned building and otherwise empty lot. To me, this is exciting and I?ll gladly support the growthof our economy. Read more
So good to have great fast food. It's the best fast food burger in Kansas City right now. The staff was super friendly and... courteous. They worked hard to get our order correct. Cannot wait for the specialty burgers and sandwiches to come through asthey get everything rolling in this location. Read more
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 wasperfect! We checked our order and began to "dig in!" It was good ???? we'll definitely return for another meal, but, inside therestaurant! Went inside for this visit and the time was cut in half from our experience of the drive thru! It only took about20 minutes. We ordered the "Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich" and it's not recommended by us! At this location, I woulddefinitely go inside to order, and don't be in a hurry to get your food!!!! Read more
