First time trying Whataburger ever, this location in Ballentine across from Walmart. The menu for me didn't offer much variety beyond burgers but that's their name so... I went with jalapeño burger all the way. The combo comes w fries and large drink. As for my opinion, the burger was large about size of Whopper, tomato, lettuce, not soaked thru with mayonnaise; combined with fries it was plenty to fill one person. The taste I can only think of closest is Sonic, this was $9.99 for combo. The drive thru is not AI although you may be tricked as I was by the voice. Customer service was good. A burger competitor to the big guys. read more

They're new and we expected some hiccups/delays. We opted to try them during what could possibly be "non peak hours." Arrived at 4 and followed the maze to get to a parking spot. I did not have the patience for the drive thru line. We found a spot and walked to the door...an employee was there letting people in as space was available. It wasn't really that long of a wait and we were able to find a seat right away. We ordered at a kiosk which was super easy to use. From the time our receipt was printed to when we got our food was 18 minutes. To me, it was just like any other burger joint. We Tried the burgers, fries and onion rings. Next time definitely want to try their shakes. My children's review sums it up just right: It's like getting a sonic burger at a better price. The fries are like McDonalds. So, if I want a sonic burger, but not nearly as expensive I'd come here. Staff were friendly. Only mistake with our order was they forgot to give us a milk and the soda seemed flat. We will return once the lines settle down. read more

I enjoyed the #1 however I didn't realize they would add a lot of mustard so ask for less or none at all. The burger is your traditional type and it the patty was on the dryer side but still fine. The fries are great when they're fresh. The service was good too! This location had a Christmas tree too which was cute and festive for the season! read more

Perfect for a late night burger run with the wife. Fast service, but my only complaint would be that they just assumed we wanted to Large Milkshake. We asked for a milkshake and they handed us a 32oz monstrosity. Didn't want to have that big of a milkshake or pay for one but we ended up dealing with both. read more

TLDR: Great quality food, but service issues. Ordered via mobile app on Halloween. Loved that I could customise each item! Put to pick up through the drive thru - big mistake, would have been far quicker to go inside. Got stuck behind a car waiting on a large order. And they forgot the extra sauce I ordered. Burgers were very good sized, made as ordered. Fries were crispy and hot. Onion rings pretty good, but not great. Will order again, but for pick up inside. read more

This is another cheap fast food option with little to offer in quality, taste, or service. I was eager to try it but found the burgers bland, the buns stale, the toppings wilted, the fries greasy, and while inexpensive-ish, an underwhelming value at any price. read more

I placed an online order at Whataburger for a cheeseburger, onion rings, and a drink and honestly, I'm still wondering what all the hype is about. I ended up waiting 30 minutes for my food, and when it finally came out, the drink was missing. I had to wait another 15 minutes just for that to be brought to me. The food itself? Mediocre at best. The burger lacked flavor, and the onion rings were just okay. I understand it's a new location and there are kinks to work out, but you'd expect the team to have their operations in better shape by now. The service was disorganized, and there didn't seem to be any urgency or sense of customer care. Honestly, I'd rather go to Wendy's next time--at least I know what I'm getting there. Disappointed, and I won't be back. read more

We went during opening week and had medium expectations, but were pleasantly surprised! We may have even went back the next day With anything new in this area, long lines are to be expected. The drive through line was extremely long, so we decided to dine in. There was hardly no one inside! Orders can be placed at the counter or on a kiosk. We ordered on the kiosk so we could take our time and found this process very easy to navigate. Between the two visits, we tried fries, onion rings, triple burger with cheese, patty melt, Nashville hot boneless wings, the sweet & spicy bacon burger, and an apple pie. There was nothing that we didn't enjoy, but the onion rings, patty melt, and boneless wings are the items that we continue to talk about. Also planning to go back to try the Dr Pepper shake and honey butter chicken biscuit. The employees were nice and you can tell they are trying their best to not get overwhelmed. Giving them a little kindness and grace while they are the "new kid on the block" goes a long way. The establishment was clean from counter to tables to bathrooms. They also have a tent in the parking lot currently as overflow seating if you would like to dine there. read more

I finally decided to try Whataburger after driving by it many many times since it was recently built I got the basic hamburger combo with fries and a drink. The food was pretty good, but I will say the service was absolutely terrible. I had to deal with three different people to finally get my order. One person took my order. Another person rang me up and the third person had to go track it down in the kitchen. What's more, someone ordered the same thing after me and got their food before me. The people working at that location during my visit were inattentive unfocused disorganized and overall pretty slack. Next time I wanna spend 10 bucks on a hamburger combo I'm gonna go spend that money at Zestos or Rush's. read more

The service was nice. They have really good burgers, but my favorite that they have would be their banana pudding shake. The only thing missing would be some vanilla wafers to dip into the shake. The Restaurant was clean and it is conveniently open 24 hours a day. This would be very beneficial to people working swing shift. Breakfast is served from 6 AM to 11 AM and they have a really good selection of breakfast burger and biscuit. I would definitely give this place a try. read more

They are having a rough and slow start, but once they've settled I think this will be a great addition to the area. Food is taking quite a long time to come out. However, the food is good and the restaurant is clean. read more

Great food and service !!! Prices are very reasonable compared to places with similar offerings!!!

I've had it a few times now, despite it being fast food the burger has a good grill to it and the diced onions give it a little umph. Not much can be said about the fries as u got to get them hot to enjoy read more

I prefer the local burger chain. The burger and fries at Whataburger were just OK, not great.

Nice staff but messed up toppings on my burger. Not a big deal so I'd probably try it again in the future.

I don't understand why everyone was so excited about them coming to our area. They burgers lacks flavor.

Just amazing try the Dr Pepper shake reminds me of my child hood definitely coming back went twice in one week already !!! read more

I've been to the Whataburger in Ballentine SC #1441 several times now, and they are hit and miss at best. Very inconsistent with their food and service. Today I went through the drive-thru and waited 15 minutes and they still screwed up my order. I didn't have time to wait so I paid extra for the order that I was given and left, I grew up eating Whataburgers in Texas and this store needs some attention or new management. read more

Dear Texas - this is a burger, no less no more. Yes - it's better than most but not the best. The service is extraordinary, they have hosts that come around and make sure your experience is good. The ambiance is just fast food - nothing to brag about. Hopefully they will get their delivery better - it took a half an hour to get our order! read more

This was my first visit to a Whataburger... what a disappointment! It took 26 minutes to get my order... 26 minutes to get a hamburger and fries. It was apparent that the staff the was incapable of doing anything. I asked for a refill on tea because the urn in the restaurant was empty. It took 5 minutes for them the eat a refill. As for the burger it wasn't much better than Burger King! The patty was over cooked dry and cold. The cheese was a super thin slice that gets lost in the bun. I'll admit the fries were good and at least they were hot. I may give them a second chance but I won't go out of my way to eat at Whataburger. For a place that is supposedly something far better than other fast food burger joints it really isn't. read more

I went in at around 10am, after just finding out they had opened. I'm not a big breakfast person and knowing they're 24 hours I figured it wouldn't be a big deal to get lunch food. When I pulled up to the drive thru the woman in my lane did not greet me or really say anything so I just kind of gave my order and she told me my total and sent me on my way. I didn't get a receipt nor did she verify my order, and with the price being $6 I felt my order was incorrect. After waiting approx. 10 minutes in line for my food, I did receive the incorrect order. I felt bad because I know this technically was the order I paid for and was "mine" and there was a price difference so I brought this up as well but she was very nice and said they would just fix it for me. I already felt really awkward but then I could hear the workers in the window talking about me saying, "tell her she needs to pay." Honestly if I was told to pay I would've I don't really care, I just wanted what I tried to order originally. But the feeling of them looking at me and talking about me made me feel pretty terrible tbh and I just wanted to leave at that point lol. Eventually the same worker brought out the revised order which again was incorrect but at that point I just wanted to hightail it out of there so I didn't say anything else. For reference I originally tried to order the honey bbq chicken strip sandwich meal, but received the honey butter chicken biscuit. After revision I received a honey bbq chicken biscuit(?) Honestly at the end of the day it's less about the messed up orders cause i'm hungry and i'll eat it but more how shitty i felt after lol read more

Whataburger - Honey BBQ chicken biscuit - Burgers Near Me - Irmo, South Carolina

Staff are wonderful and friendly. Food is good, better than I remember from 20 years ago in Texas. Prices are very reasonable. Sometimes the noisy staff, combined with the music makes it hard to think or converse, though. read more

They are extremely disorganized. They did not mark my drinks so I had no idea what drink was which. I ordered a Coke, Dr Pepper, and a Diet Coke. Not fun to have to taste test them to guess. The food was okay. Not great not terrible. They don't even offer online ordering so you have to wait in a disaster zone of a drive through. The parking lot is very hard to get into if you want to eat inside. Not worth all the hype. read more

Four people. Three of the four were wrong. Hopefully just opened issues. Food was just ok.

Service was fast on a Saturday evening. Can't speak much on the ambiance as I went through the drive through. The food was hot and fresh. The burgers reminded me of Giant Burger burgers from back in the day. Great flavor. The fries do put you in the mind of McDonald's fries a little bit. Maybe because they are skinny. They were hot and good. Now let's get into the Dr. Pepper milkshake...I read previous reviews on it and thought I don't know about that. I do like Dr. Pepper but not sure about that in milkshake form. I gave in and tried it and OMG. Can't explain it but it is a must try if you like Dr. Pepper! Very good flavor and texture! I would get it again. read more

Never been to a Whataburger so when this one opened we decided to visit today. Wife ordered a chicken nugget meal with onion rings. I ordered a #1 with a shake. Noticed on the receipt I was charged for a meal along with the full price shake. Brought this to their attention. After a few minutes she was back and told me to change the order would cost me more. I can not explain how ordering just the sandwich and shake was more than ordering a meal and a shake. Left it as it was. Order came with fries I did not order and a second drink was on the ticket, but I did not get. Well you got me once. Won't happen again. Last $30 of mine you will get for a mediocre burger and shake read more

Just close the whole place....stayed in the car line for like an hour and they're asking people what have they ordered....STILL! This was after ordering. I was asked multiple times was I waiting on food. Ugh. Just close it! read more

Ordered 4 times they got it wrong all 4 times. Each time ordered 2 double meat meals twice I get both as singles once one was 3 meat the other a single. Ordered delivery once DoorDash delivered with no drinks then tried to lie to me by saying there aren't drinks look at receipt lo and behold drinks were listed. Tried to call store manager but was told it's a hipaa violation to tell me when manager is in to call. Seriously I've worked fast food someone is in charge that's there. I suggest going in to get food and open everything up to verify your order is correct before you leave or you'll be getting the run around. Not professional way to do business read more

We waited a few weeks before we tried it. We were able to park just fine and we ordered at the register. We received our order in 12 minutes. The only issue is we thought we order a single burger but actually we ordered doubles. They were very good but I will order with no butter on the bun next time. Very friendly and attentive staff. We will go back. read more

I don't usually review restaurants, because we all have our off nights and i was in the industry for several years, but......We went to dinner here with some friends and our experience was not great. Our server did the best she could, but it was obvious she didn't know the menu well and disappeared from us after the food was delivered until it was time for the checks. We had a group of 5 and we got 3 different kinds of fries, ALL of them were cold. The calamari is more of a single serving than an appetizer portion. The fish and burger were okay, but nothing that I would crave again. As an added bonus we got the on tap cocktails (Margarita and Lemonade/Vodka) and they were awful. After paying and walking out the door, the owner stopped us to give us free shirts (very kind of him), but when I approached him and told him about our drinks- I wasn't going to say a word, but he was there and I thought as an owner he would want to know....well he didn't, because he responded with "well you're the first to complain and we sell a lot of them so I won't be changing the recipe!".....was not looking for the abrupt rude response and thought he would appreciate feedback. clearly I was wrong. if I was ever to go there again, the conversation alone with him made it a definite never again. read more

Honestly been to Texas plenty of times to know they ain't making it right.. i don't know but I wish it was better. Drive through could use more speed of service and structure. Had high hopes read more

Absolute disaster of a drive through they have . Employees are confused , order takes forever and absolute train wreck ! Don't open a fast food place when you cannot have good staff and good protocols ! read more

I visited on opening day at about 11:45 AM. It is worth noting that they are open 24 hours. Of course, it was very busy, and I parked in a nearby business's lot, so their grand opening was very grand. Not unexpectedly, it took a while to get my order. One of the managers noticed I had been waiting about 20 minutes, so he went to check and brought my meal back in just a few minutes. He said my ticket had gotten lost. I had already gotten my drink, which is self-serve. The drinks are Coke products. The fries were hot and crispy. The burger, however, was cold. The meat was barely colored tan on the outside and the inside still had a bit of pink. I don't mind a bit of pink, but I would have preferred the outside a bit browner. That said, the meat and bun were cold enough that the cheese didn't melt, so on that part it could have been better. The lettuce, tomatoes and onions were fresh, and the bun was good. There was a generous amount of fixings on the burger, including three pickle slices. It was neatly made, and a nice-sized burger. More like a BK Whopper than a Big Mac. Another manager asked how my food was, and I told him the food was pretty good, but the burger was cold. He offered to bring me another, but I had already eaten about 3/4's of my burger and I didn't want more. He gave me a card for a free sandwich on another visit. He really did try to make it right, which I appreciated. I didn't look over the menu thoroughly, but they do have a chicken sandwich, some spicy options and iced coffee. Overall, I think it was pretty good and I will try it again. read more
