  • There was at least one more out on Mendenhall, but yah, it was wonderful.
  • There were actually a few WhataBurgers in Memphis. I was a cook at the one on Millbranch Rd. in Whitehaven in 1979. I don't recall exactly but there was at least 4, maybe 5.
  • there was one on Frayser Blvd in Frayser, just west of North Watkns, served a nice large Cheeseburger and a killer giant vanilla shake, a whole lot better food than anything McDonalds ever dreamed off
  • yes there was one in frayser i work at bigstar and ate lunch there all time my dad stop there when he got off work and took it home to us when we where little goodtimes there
  • Was there one on Highway 51?
  • The old 70s Whitehaven Whataburger A-Frame building on 3240 Millbranch just off the corner of Brooks Road is still standing but is now a used car lot. We went to the one in Frayser on 1775 Frayser Blvd near N Watkins until it closed around 1990. I didn't know of any other locations in Memphis.
  • In the Summer of 1972 I worked for a soft serve company that provided all of the What-a-Burgers in Memphis their milk shake mix, as well as a number of other restaurants in Memphis. Every day we chose to have lunch at one of the What-a-Burgers, and it was the high point of the day, no doubt about it. Fast forward to today (18 January 2019) and our daughter, who went to college in Memphis, mentioned that she had recently had aWhat-a-Burger in Dallas, and it was too bad there weren't any in Memphis. I was stunned to hear that, and when I did an internet search just now this site popped up when I entered "What-a-Burger, Memphis" and I was shocked. It appears they were in Memphis till about 1990, and I am amazed they no longer have a presence in Memphis. Absolutely great food, and great memories!
