This is not a Texas chain WhatABurger even though the website takes you to the ACTUAL WhatABurger. Looks run down.

As an adult you desire a real burger. I mean I want it thick & juicy with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and dressed with condiments. So if I've caught your attention, head down Highway 1& enjoy the corner lot with plenty of parking. The staff was friendly and I completed my order with fresh onion rings. The cheeseburger was juicy and seasoned well. I swear they used local Hanover tomatoes. It was priced reasonably. The inside reminded me of ole diner days. read more

They have really good cheeseburgers. But apparently , they're going out of business because the last five times we've tried to come eat , they're closed. It's really unfortunate. read more

Solid burger cooked on a flattop with fresh vegetables and mayo and mustard is great lunch. You want a burger better than the chains this is the best thing in the area read more

Solid lunch offerings- burgers, fries and onion rings. Burgers cooked and topped to order. We got in just before the local lunch crowd came in- if that many people are hitting this place up on a limited lunch hour, it's got to be good right? It was! I'd definitely return next time I'm in Richmond. read more

Super quick service and friendly staff. Smells are free and it smells great in here. Old school vibe but welcoming. Will be back. read more

About what you would expect, food is good, not great and is reasonably priced with limited seating and limited parking

Love this location the food is always delicious and consistent. The service is nice and fast!!

Came here after a cheer comp in Richmond. My daughter LOVES Whataburger (The real one) And was VERY disappointed when we got the food. She loves honey butter, and since we don't have whataburger in WV, we were looking forward to it. The fries were okay, but not salted enough. The chicken tasted like oil, and was burning hot. But, we got to see them cook it in front of us. The place was small and a bit outdated, but that wasn't the problem. WE NEED A REAL WHATABURGER ON WV!!!!!! read more

This place is a little gem in Richmond. After all these years they are still here. It's nothing like a good burger & breakfast. Their food is made to order. Fresh & fast every single time. We had the bacon egg & cheese and bologna burger along with their hashbrowns. Then we went back later and got some burgers. If you're looking for one of the best burgers in town. This is where you should go to. Don't let the looks fool you. Oh and btw there are no biscuits here. read more

I got a Doubke Meat Burger Cheese Burger and cheese sticks. I enjoyed both. Do not expect fancy I enjoyed a back to a basic burger. read more

ordered 2 meals and both meals were wrong and had items missing. unfortunately noticed it too late and didn't feel like driving back to get a refund or new order. Taste of the food was okay. read more

This place is nostalgic for my parents. This place has been here forever, and you kind of get the feeling everyone working there knows all of its customers, or at least treats them in a really familiar, kind way. It's a way to experience a restaurant. The food is very no frills, but definitely good. Griddle cheeseburgers are its main fare, but I couldn't resist adding some fried pickles to my order--glad I did! The cheeseburger is juicy, flavorful, and better than anything you're going to get at a chain. Allow a little extra time if it's around peak lunch hours on weekdays, as they're pretty busy--but they keep it moving! read more

Came three days in a row. First day, my burger was cold. Didn't appear to have been freshly made. Onion rings were very nice and crunchy. Cooked all the way through. Second day, couldn't get Philly cheese steak fries...was told the frie machine was down which I didn't believe the guy. Was told they could do a Philly cheese steak sub. Tried that. Nothing like they were years ago. Barely anything on the subroll. Paid for bread basically. Third day, went back to see about them fries. No cheese on it. Barely any meat. The ratio of fries to meat was not worth it. Three strikes you're out. I won't be back. If the wasn't goid, I don't care about service and ambiance. read more

I hate when i go to places for the first time and the customer service sucks . The meth looking lady was mad and had an attitude because i was asking questions about the menu read more

What-a-burger - What-A-Burger at Coastal Fermentory - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This place has the most legit burgers it cancels out the fact that the people that work there don't even know how to work the cash registers. Even my 5 year old smashes a bacon cheeseburger from here! Quick service as well (except the ordering process) read more

Best lunch spot!!! Nice juicy burgers always hit the spot and dont sleep on the banana shake!!! I found this spot a long time ago when i first moved to VA and i have been in love ever since!! The cheese fries are a must!!! A lot of areas have cheese fries but i like em hella cheesy and thats what you get! They have other locations in colonial heights near ft. Lee The people are friendly and they are very quick with the orders The restaurant does need an upgrade but last time i went i saw that they will be closed for renovations and i cant wait to see what it will look like!!

Closed at 18:30 on a Tuesday? What the heck. Read the reviews and Drove out of my way to get here, Google says they are open till 830. read more

I love all the food, burgers, and fry's are the best around , the grill guy is supper good. Can't say enough good about the food and the grill guys. it's the best for a burger spot. The down side is the bathrooms that are a total mess and very unclean, so stay away from the restrooms. It's like you need to wash your hands after such a good burger you know what I mean but the restrooms are a disaster. Also the order taker the red head is just mean, but the food will make up for the red head. read more

Amazing, have lived this place since I was a kid. Will continue to come back and back.

One of the only few What-A-Burger/Roy's Big Burger's left in Richmond. This place is an institution, plain and simple. The burgers are delicious, nice and big and cooked to order. The fries are typical diner fries, but with cheese sauce they really hit the spot. It might be because I'm a local, and because I also desperately miss the Colonial Heights location, but this place really holds a spot in my heart. Grabbing a burger here takes you back to childhood summers, bike rides, county fairs...It's a genuine slice of Americana and it's well worth a stop if you ever find yourself traveling down The Pike. P.S. A lot of pictures for this location are on the page for the location at 909 Jeff Davis, which was under different management and has been closed for a long time. read more

What-a-burger - ows a parking lot with cars parked in it - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This place should be called what a bread, for real. I ordered there house cheese burger, I forgot the name but it was all bread. Every time I took a bite, I was praying that I taste the burger but it never happened. By the time I took my last bite, it tasted like I just ate a whole bread sandwich . I suggest you order a double cheeseburger and maybe you would not have the same problem I had but see for yourself, do t say I didn't warn you. Stay blessed read more

Was in town picking up a Vehicle and decided to grab some food while I waited. Burger was nothing fancy but the onion rings are what got me, very smooth and not what I am accustomed too. read more

Definitely a blast from the past type greasy spoon place. You walk in and try to figure out menu and one of the two girls tells me that everything comes on a bun! Lol really!? I order a sausage and egg on a bun with a order of hash browns that just so happens to be tater tots! Yeah boy! The sandwich was good with a real fresh bun! Lol. Tater tots speak for themselves! Quite the experience and food was good, place was clean, and I'll recommend this place just for the fact you'll have to talk about for a long time, lol. read more

I remember coming here all the time with my mother and cousin, this place serves up very tasty burgers. I was excited to try a burger in Texas and they cannot compete. Their burgers taste dry and like they're from burger king. Your burgers are big and juicy. read more

I was in the mood for this big ole good burger but i was so unexpectedly pissed to see and pay almost $12 for a burger and fries. Even though the taste was ok it wasnt worth that read more

I am a regular at Whataburger, I enjoy their breakfast as well as lunch, their double cheeseburger with onion rings is really good.

This is not part of the What-A-Burger chains but it was really good. I ordered a What-A-Burger with Cheese and a side of Onion rings. I was craving a typical backyard burger and it's exactly what I received. I had expected maybe 5-6 onion rings per serving but I got a boat load! I counted 15 rings plus a few pieces. The beer batter was so crispy and they were perfectly cooked. (When I bit into them the entire onion didn't slide out of the batter.) By far the best onion rings I have had in years. read more

Decent bologna burgers. Sides are ok. Fast service. Good milkshakes. Good for limited menu and fast food. Cheap too.

Not to be confused with the Whataburger chain from Texas. This is a Virginia fast food chain that offers Very similar burgers to the one from Texas. They even went to court about who should use the name. The burger was not bad more bread then meet little choices, chili was made in a crockpot, and one of the employees was using flip-flops while frying french fries. If you want to experience what eating burgers in the 1950s used to be like, then you should give this place a chance. Otherwise, do not waste your valuable time unless you live nearby read more

The food was decent wasn't worth 8 dollars for a small sub the place was run down with flies everywhere and cracks with leaks. The worst part was the guy making the food didn't wear a hair net and I ended up finding a hair in my food. Won't suggest going for these reasons. read more

Worst What-a-burger ever! I ordered and paid for a double burger and got a single patty, and the people got upset at me when I pointed it out. Everything was WAY overpriced anyway...($15 for a small burger, a handful of fries, and a mostly ice cup of a little Pepsi). The only two people working there were frantically running around like headless chickens and frustrated at the customers. One actually yelled to everyone waiting for their orders that we all need to cut them some slack because it's just the two of them working, but none of us were complaining or had even said anything, just standing around quietly. I finally got my (wrong) order and after that they got so frustrated that they told everyone to leave, turned off the lights, and closed up at 12:00 right in the middle of the lunch rush. This was the first and only time I've been to this What-A-Burger and I will never come here again. Plus the whole place was grimy and disgusting. read more

Hello, I went to this location 15min before closing and the doors were locked!.....the sign shows 8p on Saturdays for closing.... disappointed read more

They obviously have changed burgers. The Burger was smaller than the bun and tasted nothing like the old burgers. It was awful and I won't be going back. What a disappointment. read more

The burger was ok. The double was really big. The place is run down. Staff was friendly. Wouldn't go back but wanted to try a Whataburger.
