    Absolutely loved it. I have been many years ago and want to impressed but my boyfriend wanted to go and it was his first experience and it was very good. The burgers were probably the best I've had in a very long time. The French fries were crispy perfectly seasoned and the customer service was exceptional. They had our food out quickly, cooked properly and prepared to perfection. The apple pie was also amazing and hot and fresh. They cook the apple pies as they are ordered.

    I ordered a plain cheeseburger. So a burger, no sauce, no tomatoes, no pickles, no lettuce, and cheese. I received a cheeseburger that had a top bun that at one point had mustard on it. I could smell it. It was very obvious that someone had tried to wipe the mustard off the bun. The best part of this is that I'm allergic to mustard and it could actually kill me. If I were to have actually ate your burger, I could have died. How hard is it to put some meat patties and a couple slices of cheese between two buns?

    Whataburger is pretty good actually. Fries are very average. The triple and double cheeseburger are surprisingly good. The ketchup also has a nice kick. I’d say Whataburger is a better Wendy’s. This particular location changed my previous opinion on Whataburger and I’m now a fan. 4/5

    My new breakfast spot! They do a great job, and it's very affordable. The food is hot and fresh, and the service is top-notch for a fast food chain. They bring your food to your table and then bring a tray of condiments for you! Who else does that? Lol Christian themed by the wall art gets bonus points for me!

    This location is very well staffed and many employees. Typically the drive thru has a very long line so we went inside. Yep no line there excellent. Our order was kids grilled cheese with fries, drink and cookie, double cheeseburger meal, mushroom Swiss burger meal and chicken nugget meal. All the drinks were fountain sodas and typically variety. Kids grilled cheese was well made and she enjoyed the fries and soft cookie. Cookies not made at location. Second meal was the chicken nuggets which were a hit, hit and crispy and not too much breading. They have a ton of flavors which is down right awesome!!! I would recommend trying them all. The double cheeseburger was cooked well my only wish is the cheese being melted little on the burger, one could tell it is an after thought. Fries overall were crispy but a little salty. I would recommend trying this place for the first time abs then you decide where the burger lands.

    Went at peak lunch rush and the employees were amazing. Organized and kind, even under pressure. We got four burgers, a chicken sandwich, onion rings and four fries. Food was hot and fresh, wait time was impressively not long for the amount of people in the drive thru and inside. At first the onion rings were missed, but they got them to us quickly! We run restaurant!

    Ceilings dripping, service wasn’t that good. Trash cans are overflowing. The people working register are super slow, line out to the door and only 1 register is open. You would think your food would come out quick with a full kitchen of staff. I own a restaurant and I never give low reviews but this one needed it. Head managers and store managers need to get their stuff together; do more thorough restaurant checks and run through, I’m curious what score y’all get when health inspections come through. Can the store manager or store owner get back to me responding to this review. I want to see what y’all have to say! Thanks y’all!

    Busy business. friendly and clean I don't know if it's a pre-prepared patty, but it's a little dry, so I'm only giving it 4 stars. French fries are good!!

    I love Whataburger regardless of their service. This particular location takes a longer time than usual to prepare your order, than most other Whataburger locations I've ever been to. They are not good about curbside pickup at all, you'll have to step inside to pick up your order. But everything here is made very good and I always make sure I get that Whataburger when there's one around where I travel.

  • 5/5 Jessica D. 1 year ago on Google
    The girl that took my order was super sweet and patient( not rude like other places) while I decided what I wanted. Jarred was awesome. He was super nice. My food was perfect, the burger, the fries, the white chocolate raspberry shake was yummy and they even remembered the spicy ketchup.The best part was the price. I got all of that plus a medium cup of water(not small like most places) for $11! I’m definitely coming back 😊

  • 4/5 Stephanie R. 1 year ago on Google
    The girls working here are so over worked because they are so busy. They get their job done though and I don't see them complain when they have a line of the door and cars wrapped around the lot I've only eaten here once and don't care for the food. I do deliveries and spend time in the lobby quite a bit so I wanted to leave my post on recognition of the staff. Amazing and hard working. The one young black girl up front at the register is truly spectacular. Very good at her job. Always has a smile and is very efficient.

  • 5/5 Ken G. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite fast food burger! I eat here 2-3 times a week! Great staff and WHAT A BURGER!! Great fries, awesome onion rings. Everything I eat here is always good. It's always crowded especially tourist season. Be prepared to wait a bit during peak times.

  • 5/5 Spiratus T. 3 years ago on Google
    Yummy, yummy, and yummy! Highly recommend eating at Whataburger! Great hamburgers, fries, and onion rings. Great service and people as well. 5 Stars!

  • 4/5 Jeremie R. 1 year ago on Google
    First time at Whataburger and I enjoyed it, but my wife thought it was so-so. The location was very clean and had a friendly staff. We ordered the Patty Melt, Jalapeño and Cheese Whataburger, and Dr. Pepper Shake. The shake was definitely different and tasted a bit weird (of course, I’ve never had a Dr. Pepper Shake), the spicy ketchup was good, and the creamy pepper sauce was good. The creamy pepper sauce was almost like a spicy ketchup and mayo type sauce. For being a fast food style restaurant, it was definitely worth the stop to try the food. Definitely recommend.

  • 1/5 Madison O'Hara W. 3 years ago on Google
    We placed an order online, it said it would be ready for pickup at 7:10 PM, so we got there at 7:15. We quickly discovered we had to still sit in the incredibly long drive through line. The fact that it says “curbside pickup” available here is false advertising. What’s the point of online ordering? Maybe this company should take a hint from its competitors - curbside pickup means you place an order online, sit in a designated spot, and your food is brought out to you. Regardless of that, the drive through line was wrapped around the building. Therefore, we didn’t get our food until 8:00. We didn’t even get it all - the shake machine was out. Way to pull a McDonalds guys. The kicker though? When we got to the window where you get your food, it wasn’t even ready. We had to pull forward and wait another 5 minutes for part of our order. Don’t know who’s running this one....but yikes.

    Food was good. Very slow person taking orders. Line out the door. She received not help. Mgt was not around.

  • 5/5 Sherman F. 3 years ago on Google
    By far exceeded my expectations.

  • 2/5 Megan F. 3 years ago on Google
    Had to try it since we were down South, but I think they should change their name to, "wtfwasthatburger?". Wendy’s is better and cheaper.

  • 1/5 Rod 8 months ago on Google
    Nobody in line or in the store. Very slow service. I think that they had to kill the pig to make my BLT sandwich this morning. Tables were all dirty. This is the only Wataburger on PCB. The one in Lynn Haven is great. If I could have given this place no stars, that would be their rating.

  • 1/5 migi P. 4 months ago on Google
    Went inside the establishment to order food because the drive through line was long but in the end the drive through was much faster. They obviously prioritized those orders. I waited inside for 40 minutes for my order and never received it and in the end just left without my order because I didn't have time. Will never go back.

  • 1/5 Justin L. 5 months ago on Google
    The ONLY thing I ordered(a large fry) came out half empty after wasting a little over 10 minutes to be acknowledged(which was forgivable since they were busy)

  • 1/5 A K. 4 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately this place does not retain its “fast-food” category. If you like standing in line to order food, and subsequently waiting 25 minutes for a meal to go, then this is your place. For the length of time required to get a meal you could go to a sit down restaurant and order a burger. This place is clean, but does a poor job at making food in a timely manner and delivering your order with accuracy. The worst part was after waiting 25 minutes to receive our order, we were handed a bag of food that omitted two of our burgers and two deserts - which we didn’t even realize until we got home. We ended up paying $35 for two partial kids meals. Avoid this establishment unless you like wasting your time and money.

  • 5/5 Gene M. 4 months ago on Google
    Polite staff. Reasonable prices.clean tables for fast food. The chicken BBQ sandwich and patty melt were good

  • 4/5 Suttybuddy 8. 9 months ago on Google
    First time at a whataburger! It was great, family loved their food. Sweet and spicy burger was top notch. Wish these were in Ohio!

  • 5/5 Patricia F. 6 months ago on Google
    Lady taking our order wasn’t happy with us when we requested “well done “ on our meat. She got snappy and told us that the burgers were never frozen!? I didn’t get that comment and again said well done please. She must have a hearing problem. Almost cancelled our order…annoying lady. As we waited in seating area she had others annoyed also and line was backing up…lunchtime for many workers, high noon.

  • 4/5 James W. 6 months ago on Google
    I visited Whataburger and was met with extraordinary friendliness from the staff. Each member radiated positivity, making my experience more than just a quick meal. Their prompt service and cheerful demeanor, even during busy hours, turned a simple fast food stop into a delightful visit. The food was great, but it's the warm hospitality that will bring me back. Hats off to this team for exemplifying top-notch customer service!

  • 5/5 Ray L. 7 months ago on Google
    The best burger in Panama City, can be had right here. This place never disappoints

  • 5/5 Angel S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my husband's and I first time going to Whataburger... We absolutely loved it.. My husband said its the best burger he has ever had. We loved the fact that out is open 24/7. So we also went in the middle of the night. We will be coming back and that will be out first stop.. The workers also greeted us well.. They are the best!

  • 5/5 Jen H. 8 months ago on Google
    The service here was outstanding. Happy friendly employees made our experience great! The portions are huge. I ordered a southern double burger and could only eat half. It was delicious. The fries are great and sweet tea is amazing.

  • 1/5 Jennifer M. 10 months ago on Google
    We have never been to a Whataburger so we decided to try it for a quick late lunch. I will say the staff there is very nice. They were extreme busy but they did not have anyone cleaning the tables as people left so needless to say, we had to change our order to go because the place was so filthy. It took FOREVER to get our food. It felt like they were not filling the orders in order because I seemed to be waiting longer than people that came in after me. The food was not great either - the ketchup and mustard was put on my burger so sloppy it was just a mess to eat which I had to do so in my car due to the filthy tables. They should take a lesson or two from Chick-fil-A in efficiency and cleanliness!

  • 1/5 emily o. 1 year ago on Google
    I got my shake no problem but I then had to pull up for two burgers which I didn’t mind but I started having a problem when 5 cars got their food and it was big bags full of food. I sat in the drive thru for over 30 minutes for just two simple burgers….ridiculous

  • 3/5 Bloomfield20008 10 months ago on Google
    Food was good as advertised, and the cashier did a wonderful job taking our order, but we got 1 wrong sandwich. They corrected and gave us the wrong sandwich as well. Only negative really was no sweat tea unless they got it behind the counter for you, so no refill for the tea as well.

  • 1/5 Angela P. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely upsetting. Waited a half hour for a simple meal, paid extra for sauces and we didn’t get anything, got a simple burger with everything on it and came with nothing. Paid for a burger that came with nothing. I have children waiting for me I don’t have time for this. I’m too hangry to eat this sad burger.

  • 4/5 Joniece G. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing! I was skeptical about eating whataburger in Florida but definitely worth it. The only downfall was ketchup splashed all over the window and there were endless amount of trays on top of the trash can. They asked us if we were dining in or taking out and we said dine in, they still brought everyone's food out in multiple bags and didn't offer sauce. The place wasn't busy so they could definitely clean up the lobby a bit and get some clean trays for dine in customers. Customer service was just okay.

  • 3/5 Lora 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was just ok. The spicy ketchup was really good.

  • 5/5 Tonya C. 3 years ago on Google
    My first time going and the food was delicious. But my favorite thing was the warm cinnamon rolls!

  • 1/5 Conner N. 3 years ago on Google
    Waited in the drive through for 20 minutes. Ordered a burger with pickles and cheese only and said that very clearly. The employee then asks if I want mustard, to which I reply no. Obviously if you say pickles and cheese only, then you don't want anything else on it. Hence the word only. The guy still put mustard on my burger. I won't be back.

  • 5/5 Buffy Lynn R. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jim N. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was great and the service was awesome. The burgers are very tasty as well as the best onion rings you can find at a fast food joint. The chocolate shakes were delicious. I highly recommend if you're looking for something quick

  • 5/5 Linda S. 3 years ago on Google
    I asked for my burger to be custom made and the staff had no issues. They were all friendly and accommodating. Food was excellent! Definitely recommend

  • 4/5 Proud American S. 3 years ago on Google
    Best Burgers & Shakes in Town, However through the Plan-Demic The Drive thru has moved at a Snails pace. I pulled in the Drive thru line with 11 Vehicles ahead of me & it took right at 2 hours before I drove away with my Order.? WHY SO SLOW ? They’ve always been as Quick & Accurate as Chic-Fil-A, But for several months now they have Had Cars backed up all the way into Back Beach Road. I just want to know what made them go from the Second Quickest Drive Thru Burger Joint to The Slowest I’ve ever seen ?

  • 4/5 Nicole T. 3 years ago on Google
    We're from Missouri so Whataburger is a big treat, but the hour and a half wait in the drive thru kind of stunk. We were in town for a week and on our second trip, we did the curbside delivery and our visit was light years better. Each visit the food was awesome, we're hoping to see a location arriving further north soon.

  • 2/5 Ashley D. 3 years ago on Google
    Bless their hearts. They are so sweet but SO SLOW/ everything seemed to confuse them. We ordered four meals. Nothing crazy. No add ons. Sat at the window for twenty minutes waiting for drinks and ketchup. (Just sodas.)

  • 5/5 Bryan F. 3 years ago on Google
    Just like when i was a kid. Loved it.

  • 2/5 Beach L. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is hit and miss. Burgers and fries were cold. Would not recommend.

  • 3/5 James D. 3 years ago on Google
    Whereas I really like their burgers, better than In n Out in my opinion, but this location is always so busy and seems to be really slow. Last burger and fries we had were a little cold, but still tasty. I would eat there more, but just too busy/slow.

  • 5/5 Chapin J. 3 years ago on Google
    The drive thru worker was very nice & the food was great!

  • 4/5 King 3 years ago on Google
    Food is usually right, always good. Employees are nice. The wait times are sometimes weird though. There will be one car at the window and one car waiting to order and it seems like they wait for the first car to leave the window before they take the next order? Overall not a bad place but sometimes annoying.

  • 1/5 Carlos T. 3 years ago on Google
    We were waving at the lady and trying to get her attention to give us sauce and she was literally in front of us taking an order and making drinks and she was ignoring us

    Really good burgers and fries but the wait is long even with ordering via the app. Still over a 20 min wait on food. Still seems kind of cold

  • 1/5 Spencer D. 3 years ago on Google
    Drive through 30+ minutes every time. 50/50 chance order will be incorrect and you will have to either accept it or wait in the ridiculously long line to have it corrected. Whataburger? More like what a joke

    Great service, good food.

  • 1/5 spicisco 3 years ago on Google
    Definitely watch out when receiving change from this place. Last night I paid with 100 dollars and got back my change. It wasn't until I tried to get gas in town, and surrounded by cops that I realized (unknowingly) one of the bills I got back, that I gave to the clerk for gas, passed as fake. Needless to say I got interviewed for about 30 minutes, luckily I had the receipt and exact change in my wallet from that hundred to show them plus the bag of food that was now cold and my drink. I'm also out 20 bucks because you know my word over theirs obviously, even tho I'm the one out of 20 bucks and they ain't. Won't be eating here again, they need to start checking all bills.

  • 5/5 JOHN C. 3 years ago on Google
    Reminds me of when I lived in Texas. Good burgers.

  • 4/5 David E. 3 years ago on Google
    Me and my girlfriend traveled down from Houston county AL to PCB to go to Culver’s, before realizing they also had a Whataburger. Truth be told, I had Whataburger before: ONCE. I was also really young, and I only ever had their fries, so my only real judgement of them now, as an adult, was this: “they have good fries.” Always wanted to actually give their real food a try though. I honestly don’t feel like my judgement was that far off, though. Whataburger does have really dang good fries. But I also ordered a triple meat cheeseburger with lettuce and onions and a vanilla shake. My initial thought with the burger was, “wow this is big.” Felt like I got a really good deal. And then after taking a bite, my thought quickly turned into, “wait, did we go to Whataburger or Burger King?” I don’t mean to knock the whopper or anything, it is a really good sandwich. But I didn’t go to Whataburger for a whopper. And I certainly didn’t pay $9 for a triple one either. You can get 2 whoppers for $5, so my thoughts of the burger being a good deal immediately disappeared. That said, the more I got into the sandwich, the more I started to think it was a little more unique than the whopper. Not by much; they’re certainly still very similar. But I found myself not getting sick of it halfway through, and actually wanting more of it by that point. I split the sandwich with my girlfriend, who liked it a little more than I did, but we both seemed to agree that it tasted better as we went along. Maybe because we started incorporating fries into each bite? Not sure, but I wish what I experienced during the last half of the burger was what I experienced the entire way. However, again, my recollections of when I had Whataburger as a child were pretty spot-on: the fries were great. But I think the real highlight of the trip was definitely the shake. The flavor was good, yes, but it was also insanely cheap. Even now, over a month later, my mind’s still a little blown that the large fries and shake together were just a touch over $6. Those together were 33% cheaper than the burger alone. I think I’d rather have gotten two of each either way without the burger either way. Lesson learned. Even though the burger at a place literally named after the idea of making you go “what a burger!” after trying it was very disappointing and definitely the lowlight of my three-part meal, I’m still giving PCB’s Whataburger a 4/5 for two main reasons: the service was incredible, and the shake was legitimately that friggin’ good. Like seriously. I’d pay someone $100 to drive me up a dozen of those from PCB to Houston county AL. Hmu if you’re interested.
