From $5.99 Whataburger Burgers Menu
The Whataburger burgers menu runs 14 sandwiches deep, starting at $3.99 for the Whataburger Jr. and topping out with the Hatch Green Chile Bacon Burger at $13.49. Every one of them is built on fresh, never frozen beef, pressed thin and wide so it sears edge to edge on a flat grill, then stacked on a toasted five inch bun.
The original Whataburger sits at the center of the lineup for $5.99 and 595 calories, with mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles and diced onions as the default build. From there the menu splits three ways: more meat (Double at $7.49, Triple at $9.19), more heat (Jalapeño & Cheese, Green Chile Double), or more toppings (Patty Melt, Avocado Bacon, Bacon & Cheese). If you would rather compare these against chicken, breakfast or shakes before deciding, the full Whataburger menu lists every item with the same live pricing you see here.

What Makes a Whataburger Different
Three things separate a Whataburger from every other fast food burger, and none of them are marketing. The bun is five inches across rather than the four inch standard, which changes the whole ratio. The patty is cooked when you order rather than held under a lamp. And the default build is mustard, not ketchup, with lettuce, tomato, pickles and diced onions on top.
The made to order part is the trade you are making. A Whataburger takes longer than a chain that batches ahead, particularly at lunch, and in exchange nothing has been sitting. That is also why customisation costs nothing in wait time: the kitchen was going to build it from scratch either way.
- The five inch bunToasted on both cut faces, which keeps juice from soaking straight through. It is the reason a Whataburger survives a drive home better than most.
- Produce under the pattyLettuce and tomato sit beneath the beef rather than on top, so the bun stays dry and the salad stays cool.
- Mustard as standardKetchup and mayo are swaps, not additions. Ordering "no mustard" is normal and costs nothing.
- One patty sizeThere is no small or large patty. Size comes from the count: Jr., single, double or triple.
Whataburger Burger Prices and Calories Compared
The burger menu is really a ladder. Each step up adds roughly one patty worth of beef, price and calories, so the comparison below tells you what each rung actually costs.
| Burger | Price | Calories | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whataburger Jr. | $3.99 | 317 | 14.5 g |
| Whataburger | $5.99 | 595 | 28.8 g |
| Double Meat Whataburger | $7.49 | 832 | 46.9 g |
| Triple Meat Whataburger | $9.19 | 1075 | 65.1 g |
| Bacon & Cheese Whataburger | $7.69 | 752 | 39.3 g |
| Avocado Bacon Burger | $8.69 | 809 | 37 g |
| Whataburger Patty Melt | $8.79 | 941 | 48.9 g |
The Jr. at $3.99 is the value outlier: it carries 14.5 grams of protein for 317 calories, which is the best ratio on the burger list. The Triple at 65.1 grams is the protein leader but costs 1075 calories to get there.
How to Customise a Whataburger Burger
Every burger on this menu is a starting point rather than a fixed recipe, and because each one is built to order, changes do not slow the kitchen down. These are the swaps regulars actually make.
Free Changes
- Swap the spreadKetchup or mayo instead of mustard, or none at all. No charge either way.
- Remove anythingNo onions, no pickles, no tomato. Removals never cost extra and speed nothing up, since the build starts fresh regardless.
- Grilled instead of raw onionsGrilled onions are a no cost swap on most burgers and change the sandwich considerably.
- Extra pickles or jalapenosUsually free on request. Jalapenos are the most common heat add.
Paid Add Ons
- CheeseRoughly 90 calories per slice. On a double, ask for it between the patties rather than on top so it melts properly.
- BaconTurns the standard Whataburger into something close to the Bacon & Cheese build at $7.69.
- Extra pattyCheaper than stepping up to the next named burger in some combinations, so compare before ordering.
- AvocadoAvailable across the burger line, not just on the Avocado Bacon Burger at $8.69.
How the Whataburger Burger Lineup Is Built
Every burger here starts the same way it did in Corpus Christi in 1950: a fresh beef patty pressed thin and wide so it sears across its whole surface, not just the edges. The default dressing is mustard rather than mayo, which is the detail first timers notice and regulars defend, because the sharp tang cuts the beef fat and keeps each bite from turning heavy.
The size system is worth learning before you order. The standard line uses five inch buns with quarter pound patties. The Jr. line drops to four inch buns for smaller appetites and smaller prices. Double and Triple Meat versions stack extra quarter pound patties without changing the bun, so a Triple delivers three quarters of a pound of beef for $9.19, one of the strongest beef per dollar ratios in fast food.
Ordering Burgers for a Group
For a table with mixed appetites, the Jr. burgers keep kids and light eaters under 400 calories while the Double Meat and Patty Melt handle the bigger orders. Any burger becomes a Whatameal with a side and a drink for roughly three and a half dollars more, and you can swap fries for onion rings at no extra charge.
Burgers travel better from Whataburger than from most chains because the buns are toasted and the produce sits under the patty rather than on top, so nothing steams into the bread. If you are ordering delivery, ask for sauces on the side and add a Family Fry Box at $12.69 instead of individual fries, which covers four to six people for less.
