I ordered online but they have no signs out front for mobile order pick up. They will not let you drive through as an option. The parking lot is very hard to get in and out of and I ended up finding a spot and having to go inside and wait for my mobile order. I won't be back. Update: I got so tired of waiting for my order that I did not realize they never gave me my drink. I had to go back inside and wait for that. I will say the food was good but nothing is worth that stress.

I've given Whataburger multiple chances, and unfortunately it's consistently disappointing. The…read morefood is often cold by the time it's served, the service is slow and unfriendly, and my order is rarely correct the first time. On top of that, the overall atmosphere just isn't welcoming. This location seriously needs to improve its quality control and customer service and learn to work and not be in the back office while customers are waiting at the counter to get their food.

It was a Saturday afternoon and everyone had tables full of delicious barbecue that we passed in front of as we got sat by the friendly staff.

The woman who appeared to be the bakery manager, working around 8:15 a.m., answered every question with an attitude that felt forced, dismissive, and unwelcoming. When someone says, "This is my first time here," it's usually an opportunity to create a memorable experience--not make them feel like they're interrupting your morning. I won't be rating the bakery's famous pigs in a blanket because, to me, hospitality is part of the product. Outstanding customer service can elevate good food to a great experience. Without it, even the town's signature pastry loses some of its appeal.

In less than a week I somehow visited both the best McDonalds I have ever been to outside Boston…read morewith the fireplace in the dining room and the worst McDonalds I have ever been to at this location outside Austin. It would make a fun point-to-point trip for novelty travel vloggers like Ian, you know the one Ian if you spend enough time online, "air conditioning outside!"-Ian, someone I would definitely be best friends with given our common interests in key lime pie and whimsy. These are two entirely separate worlds apart from the good one outside Boston and this awful one right here. I pulled off the road after a difficult work day in Austin on the way back into Houston for a refreshing frozen Coke. The best frozen Coke I ever had was in Orlando just a few weeks ago, they mixed both the vanilla coke and cherry coke flavours as a secret (well, less-secret-now) VIP favour to me in Disney Springs. I wanted to re-live that experience or at least get as near as possible to it for refreshment you can find close to the highway between Austin and Houston. I moseyed on in to order in the store since outside Boston I found a fireplace in the dining room at that McDonalds. What would I find here outside Austin, maybe a banjo? A steer that they are supposed to be famous for around here? A drag queen that got sidetracked whilst getting dressed that morning and left the house gussied up as Bing Bong (on a normal day, not Halloweekend) rather than in drag? Maybe something else? The sky is the limit on these possibilities once you find a fireplace in a McDonalds dining room, anything can happen in a dining room now. I ordered my frozen coke and paid. I waited for my order. I had already ordered and paid, mind you. Then the guy comes out and tells me that the frozen coke machine is broken. Why did they let me order and pay for something they knew they did not have? I said ok, gimme the frozen Dr Pepper since we can't have everything but we can get close. He said that machine was broken, but somehow inexplicably they had the frozen blue one working. Da fuq? There is only one freezy drink machine, it is an unholy drink cloaca where all flavours come out of one hole like a Coke freestyle stand in Orlando, it is not separate holes for each beverage like Club Cool in Epcot. I accepted the blue thing I did not want since I had already ordered and paid and the traffic was only getting worse on the road so I wanted to get back on the road to Houston. I was presented with a blue thing that was like 75% filled. It tasted and smelled like it had been mixed with Sam Vimes' dirty boots and rubber cement. It was dreadful. I am a certified hater (see my one star reviews from the particularly spicy years of 2011-2016) so I actually WOULD wish this on my worst enemy, but not myself. I was plenty fine it was not completely filled after all since it was assigned immediately to the circular filing system. Don't mess with [frozen cokes]

One of the highlights of the meal was the fresh, homemade tortillas. They were warm, soft, and clearly made in-house, making the fajitas even more enjoyable. The fajitas themselves were flavorful, tender, and arrived sizzling hot. And if you're in the mood for a margarita, be prepared--they're gigantic! Definitely big enough to help you unwind after a day of traveling. The only downside was the service. We came in for a later lunch, and it felt like the staff was eager to clear our table while we were still finishing up. A little later, we realized the staff was getting ready to eat their own meal. I completely understand wanting to take a break, but it would have been nice if someone had simply let us know they were about to close for a staff meal. That bit of communication would have made the experience feel much more welcoming instead of rushed. Overall, the food was the standout, especially the fresh tortillas and delicious fajitas.

First of all, it's very kid-friendly! Almost every family that walked in had small children. They have high chairs, crayons/coloring pages, and a kids menu. The kids menu deserves a kudos! Usually, I expect bare minimum but they really invested effort into the food. The grilled cheese came on big fluffy buttery pieces of bread and was something I'd expect to receive from the main menu. The chicken tenders were big and juicy and delicious too. Kids devoured their grilled cheeses (to be fair, they've never met a grilled cheese they didn't like but that's what makes the restaurant's above-and-beyond effort more admirable). I enjoyed my food as well. I got the chicken-friend steak. I rarely eat fried food -- this was worth it. Delicious. Also the show-stealer was the Brussels sprouts side! Fantastic. Perfectly browned and crisped (not overdone/too blackened like many places do). Mashed potato side was tasty too. Finally, the service was excellent. Super nice and attentive staff. Parking is very easy -- free lot next door.

The food as always was the best and service second to none. Highly recommend this place.read more
