Unique selling points
Whataburger is known for its orange-and-white-striped restaurant buildings with eye-catching, pointed gable roofs , although newer restaurants have a conventional, bungalow-like design with only a smaller A-shaped roof structure. Whataburger restaurants and waffle houses are open 24 hours. Some menus include the Whataburger Jr. (a smaller version of the Whataburger), the Justaburger (a Whataburger Jr. made with just mustard , pickles, and onions ), and chicken strip menus along with Texas toasts and gravy.
