What-A-Burger No 2

Good food good prices. It’s small and old but the food is eat you would expect at a place like this. My family and I enjoyed everything from the burgers to the milkshakes.

Outstanding service. Easy menu to pick from and overall good, solid eats.
This place was recommended to us from a coworker and I think this place is more of a nostalgia thing than it is the best eats.
I just wasn’t so impressed that I would rush back. The staff is great and friendly. So absolutely no complaints there but the burger was a bit on the bland side for me. I ended up picking at mine and only eating parts of it. The fries are the business but potato fried in grease can’t go wrong. Onion rings are good, they seem to be a frozen variety — but I could be wrong.
Cherry Lemon Soda is the business so that is a must but ours were slightly over carbonated.

My son got a what a burger and really enjoyed it. We just moved to concord and needed something quick and reasonable.

Saturday place is pretty steady that’s what caught my eye. Place accepts no plastic CASH ONLY but there 8s an ATM right by the counter. Food is homemade no flavor. Place is real outdated soda is flat too. Stink like hot grease and is like a time capsule of old furniture. Grumpy staff you can hear and see. Now I’m sitting in my car with a belly full of beef I guess that’s what is and curls and clothes on thus damp day stink like fried grease kitchen. Prices good.

Very disappointed that when I asked for ice in my own Tervis cup and I was told I would have to buy a $.91 styrofoam cup instead so I passed

Lost my business some years ago with a rather dubious towing. Don’t ever take your customers for granted to make a quick buck. You’ll lose much more in the long run with lost business and bad word of mouth.

The best! Hometown atmosphere. Friendly staff, most of them are family and have been there 20+ years. They wrote the book on Cherry Lemon Sun Drop and when you want a What-​a Cheeseburger all the way– it’s the only place to indulge!

Came to show my mother from out of town what a great breakfast What A Burger has, called to make sure they were still serving breakfast (10:20am). Then once we got here, we were rudely waited on by a cashier who apparently hated her life. She told us that there were no pancakes today. I’ve never experienced such a moody, mean, unfriendly person before. I will not be coming back to What A Burger.

I LOVE LOVE this what a burger in concord!
It’s the only one I’ll eat at! Derrick is the only one who knows I like my fries crispy! Everyone is so nice to me there! The new owner is nice! The what a burger in concord is awesome! I’ll never eat at another except this one!

The restaurant is dated and I liked that about it. The hamburgers are just like they were twenty years ago… great!!! It is definitely an experience. If you want «new» and sparkling and corporate cookie cut fast food, go to McDonalds. It’s faster than Whataburger. The prices are very reasonable. You want a great burger, fries, and onion rings, you will not beat the place.

Ok, so it isn’t pretty. But it is a classic dive type of place, and we enjoyed our meals.

What-​a-​Burger is a childhood favorite for those of us born and raised in Concord, NC. If you go don’t be shocked by the décor and be sure to have cash on hand. They do not take checks or debit/​credit cards.
I usually get a What-​a-​Burger with cheese (you can also get a Double What-​a-​Burger if you ask) with a large onion ring and a classic Witch Doctor (a simple mix of all the drinks on tap and filled with pickle slices on top and bottom).
Good food on the cheap. Highly recommend

I use to eat here alot as a little girl when I use to come down for the summer every year. But I barely remember that so I had to eat here because I am tired of BK and McDonald’s I want real burgers. This place is located in Downtown Concord on Church Street. The staff is very friendly. The what-​a-​burger with cheese is what I had which is just good and the onion rings are the kind I like the big fresh cut ones not the small ones which I hate. I tried this drink they had called the Witch Doctor which is mixture of all of their sodas combined with pickles/​pickle juice and lemons. The girl at the front loves this drink but trust me this drink takes an acquired taste it is not for everyone. So I am going to pass on that drink the next I come in and just stick to the burgers and onion rings. The only downfall in this place is the fact they take cash only. But don’t worry they have an ATM inside.

Not many people know of this drive-​in «chain.» There are a few locations left, including this one at downtown Concord, also one in downtown Mooresville (and I think 2 or 3 more around the area). 2 things you need to know: 1. this is not the same What-​A-​Burger chain out west (thus no point in clicking on the link posted above) and 2. cash only! They have an ATM machine inside, but then I’m against unnecessary surcharges, and nothing is more painful than looking for your own bank’s ATM machine when all you can think of is wolfing down a burger. FYI, downtown Concord is Wachovia & BB&T friendly, with branches in walking distance, but you (and I) are out of luck with BoA… go figure.
For the longest time I didn’t know I was ordering a What-​A-​Burger, I thought «wth is a Water-​Burger» but I ate it regardless. Pardon my lack of understanding on local accent. Then I realized Water-​Burger is indeed What-​A-​Burger, that led me to ask why is it called What-​A-​Burger. Then I realized What-​A-​Burger is a larger version of their burger, hence What A Burger! (think exclaimation), which explained why I felt so darn stuffed everytime I ate there. Nowadays I mostly order a regular cheeseburger, with chili & slaw & onion (I’m a southern gal when it comes to my burgers). A quick PSA, their burger patties are thin, so don’t expect some sloppy looking thick burger.
They also have other offerings, like hot dog, corn dog, chicken wings, fried seafood, chuckwagon, bbq etc… For drinks they have your typical options, and witch doctor and Sundrop (you know you are in the South). For sides there are fries (a-​ok), onion rings (not bad) and tater sticks (oh yeah!). Don’t worry if you are slightly confused, here’s the secret, you can’t go wrong with Cherry Lemon Sundrop and Tater Sticks… they go with any entrée option you have decided on. The best part, it doesn’t break the bank to eat here. Oh yes, you can thank me later… and you’re welcome :)

Good Food and timely, by-​pass the Mac, BK, etc. this is the real deal. I usually order fish or shrimp, but burgers are very good also.
