Popular Drinks at Whataburger

Here are some of the Most Ordered Drinks. 

Coca-Cola Classic

Coca-Cola Classic is the standard cola at Whataburger and a safe pick for almost any order. It comes from the fountain, cold and over ice. Sizes are kids (16 oz), medium (32 oz) and large (44 oz). It is usually ordered with burgers, fries and chicken meals, and it also goes well with the Patty Melt and onion rings. The fizz and light sweetness cut through a salty, heavy meal. If you want fewer calories, Diet Coke and Coke Zero are on the menu too. You can find these options on the Whataburger drinks menu along with other beverages.

Dr Pepper

Dr Pepper is a Texas favorite and one of the drinks most linked to the Whataburger brand. It is a cold fountain soda on the Whataburger drinks menu, available in kids (16 oz), medium (32 oz) and large (44 oz) sizes, and Diet Dr Pepper is also available. A classic Whataburger burger goes well with Dr Pepper, Coke or sweet tea, and it suits fries and chicken strips too. Its sweet, slightly spicy taste holds up against a big, juicy burger. The drink was invented in Waco, Texas, in the 1880s, which is why many Texans pick it here. Whataburger has also sold a Dr Pepper shake for limited periods.

Sweet Tea

Sweet Tea is the Southern-style iced tea that many regular customers order every time. It is served cold over ice from the fountain and is a popular choice on the Whataburger drinks menu. It comes in kids (16 oz), medium (32 oz) and large (44 oz), and you can also order half sweet and half unsweet tea. Chicken strips, fries and onion rings are listed as good matches, along with a classic burger. It is also a good choice with breakfast items that have honey butter.

Sweet tea is sweet enough that a big cup can have more calories than a soda. A large sweet tea is listed at 610 calories, while the half and half version is about 315. If you want the taste with less sugar, the half and half mix is the easy fix.

Vanilla Shake

The Vanilla Shake is the plain, creamy choice and the base for most of Whataburger’s flavored shakes. It is made with natural vanilla ice cream and milk. It is served thick in a cup, usually with whipped cream on top, and it comes in small, medium and large. It works well with fries and a burger, and many people dip their fries in it. One guide says it has the fewest calories of the three regular shakes listed on the Whataburger drinks menu at every size. If you want something richer, you can order it as a malt, which adds a slightly nutty, toasted flavor.

Strawberry Shake

The Strawberry Shake is the fruity option for people who do not want chocolate. It is made with real strawberries blended with milk and vanilla ice cream. It is served cold and thick, usually with whipped cream, and comes in the same sizes as the other shakes. It goes well with chicken strip sandwiches, fries and onion rings, and the fruit flavor balances spicy items like the Jalapeño & Cheese Whataburger. It feels lighter than chocolate, though it is still a full shake. It is also a good pick for kids, and you can order it as a malt or mix it half and half with another flavor.

Chocolate Shake

The Chocolate Shake is the most ordered shake flavor and the one many people call the best on the menu. It is made with vanilla soft-serve ice cream and chocolate syrup. It comes cold and thick in small, medium and large sizes, and you can add malt. It pairs well with a Whataburger Jr. or a Patty Melt with fries, and many people order it in place of dessert. Mashed placed it 6th in its ranking of popular Whataburger menu items. One guide lists a medium at $4.29 and 560 calories. It is a heavy drink, so it works best when you want a treat and not just something to sip.

Iced Coffee

Iced Coffee is the cold coffee option, available plain or with vanilla, caramel or mocha. It is served cold over ice, and you can have it black or with sweet cream and flavored syrups. Whataburger said hot and iced coffee are available all day, so you do not have to order it at breakfast. Whataburger itself suggests the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit with a Mocha Iced Coffee. It also goes well with Breakfast on a Bun and the Cinnamon Roll. One listing shows 90 calories for regular with sweet cream and 160 for the flavored versions. If you want it less sweet, order it black or ask for less syrup.

Hot Coffee

Hot Coffee is the classic breakfast drink, and it comes with most Whataburger breakfast meals. It is a 100% Arabica blend, served hot, in regular or decaf. You can add sweet cream or flavored syrups like caramel, chocolate and vanilla. Breakfast Whatameals such as the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit and the Taquito with Cheese include a coffee. Whataburger’s own chef suggests the Breakfast on a Bun or the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit for people who like their coffee hot, and the Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuit and Cinnamon Roll also match well. Black coffee has no calories, and sweet cream makes it softer if you want that.
