Friday, my Wife and I went out shopping and soon found it was past our dinner time. So, instead of…read moregoing home and cooking, or going to a restaurant, we went to a place I call "Notaburger". I know, I know, this does not happen to me - but - we have been to this one, and it was just opened a short time ago, and ordered their "Bun Less Burger", which is wrapped in lettuce. We wanted to give that a try, and this time we are ordering it again.
It's also close to our house. Walked in, and there were not many people here. I asked the girl at the register if they do Bun Less Burgers. She said, "No, just remove the bun." I then informed her that we had ordered this before, and it is served in a plastic tray, all wrapped in lettuce. Shen then asked her manager, and he must have said yes, because she returned and asked what burger do you want?. My Wife went with the "Whataburger Jr"; No Bun, Small Beef Patty (4") wrapped in Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles, diced Onions & Mustard. I am having the "Double Meat Whataburger"; wrapped in Lettuce, No Bun, Two Large Beef Patties, Tomato, Pickles, diced Onions & Mustard. We also asked for two regular drinks. She replied back, okay, and gave us our orange Crime Scene Number 29. Nancy noticed that she did not charge us for the Sodas. It would be nice if Whataburger trained its employees as to what they actually have here.
She also handed us our cups, just like the Soda ones, but we just wanted water, so that's what we poured. We found a table and waited for our food, which arrived pretty quickly. When they deliver your food, they also have choices of condiments for you to choose. We both chose their Spicy Ketchup. These containers are clear plastic lids, and you can see the Lettuce inside - and that's all, just the Lettuce right in the center of the tray.
Popped open the top and checked it out. The Large Lettuce Leaves are wilted, and not cold, but there is a patty underneath with a few diced onions and other toppings as listed, but not much. We both drizzled the Spicy Mustard all over the inside of the lettuce, picked up the Lettuce Wrapped Whataburger patty. Actually, it's not wrapped, it's just there. Bit into it and tasted the Spicy Ketchup, which is all you can taste. Their Whataburger Meat Patties still have no flavor. We ordered this same exact meal before, and it was totally different. Still no taste, but at least then, they made a better presentation of their Tasteless Bun-less Whataburger. We ordered Cheese on these last time, but this time without Cheese. At least the Cheese would have added some flavor.
Friday, our number was 29, the opposite or reversed number. Before it was number 92. This fits very well with what we had, the exact opposite of our last time here. Below is how that went . . . . .

We were given one of their Orange Numbers (92), you know, those tent things they use at crime scenes. They are so cool. Anyway, we located a table after we filled our drinks and waited for our food. We also discovered that these drinks are a little light, like maybe diluted some, very weak. Soon our food arrived, and their "Lettuce Wrapped" is a lot different from what you would think. Each one is served in a Salad Container with a plastic lid, with a lot of loose lettuce and a lettuce leaf on top of the Burger patty. Lift it up, and there's my wife's patty, covered with cheese. I have both my patties covered with cheese, with lots of lettuce pieces all around, with several pickles, and lots of diced white onion. They also provide you with a plastic fork & knife. When they were served, we each grabbed a couple of Spicy Ketchup tubs. Check out the pictures and compare them.

Their Whataburger Patties both times were dry, with no flavor. As I said above, Whataburger needs to train its employees on how to put these meals together. They are not consistent at the cash register or in the kitchen. The only thing they are consistent at is not being consistent. It was better before, but only because of the Cheese and more toppings, but I just can't accept their dry, tasteless patties. There are other places in town that do the Lettuce Wrap better; hopefully, they will be consistent. At least last time you could taste the Tomatoes, Onions & Pickles, and the Cheese added even more taste.
When we left, we went straight home and ate Dinner. They will still be known as "Notaburger", and I don't see them changing anytime soon. Hopefully, when you go to Whataburger, you will enjoy what you ordered. I do love their Scrambled Eggs and then topping them off with their Biscuits and Gravy, and topping.
Thank You Baby for a fun day out shopping around, and giving "Notaburger" another try.
Love You Bunches & (i have nothing in this spot)Munches.
