Anybody know if that rumor is true?
If so I am retiring in Davenport.
Damn those are good burgers.

Whataburger coming to Davenport ?

I've had them before. It was good, not earth shattering like some believe, but a good fast food burger.
What I found interesting in the group I was with was how they slobbered all over the spiced ketchup they have.

The best Whataburger I had was in Tallahassee Florida and second best was Tyler tx. Corpus is the home office so you might think they would be good there but not really.
And dying shortly afterwards from Whataburger health complications.
Someone trolled West Davenport the other day into spreading a rumor that Five Guys was coming. There are also rumors of Portillos coming to Moline. This place gets hyped for fast food chains and fast food chain related rumors.
If we could get a Portillos in Omaha I would be a very happy woman. We went there for lunch our last day in Phoenix and it was so good.
Yes, interchangeable. Although WAB might have come first; they've been around forever. How in the world anybody could be excited about Whataburger is amazing and surprising to me. And better than Five Guys? Wtf? It's like saying you prefer canned spaghetti to homemade.
Tallahassee is the only I've had... a few times late at night after games. That is all they are good for... not a good burger.
it was pretty late when I was there . I was on my way to orange bowl, first one iowa went to in 2002-2003. If I recall correctly FSU was playing GA in the sugar bowl or something. I spent New Years eve in tallahassee. good times
I'm confused here. I'd heard about Whataburger for years, never had one. Finally had an opportunity when we went to San Antonio for an NCAA basketball tournament. I thought it was excellent. Not something I'd travel to Texas to eat, but excellent.
I wouldn't compare it to Burger King, or even close. The comparison would be to Five Guys or maybe Hardee's.
I've never had an opportunity to eat an In-and-Out Burger.
I'd have to rate WAB better than 5 Guys - but that's based on the single store each I ate at.
The WAB I ate in Owasso OK was good. The 5 Guys in CR...meh.
Speaking of which, I wonder how that 5 Guys in CR is doing. That's a pretty expensive place to have a fast food store I'd bet. Every time I drive by it, 1 to 2 cars parked there tops. I've eaten there twice, and was the only customer there both times.
Terrible access, no drive through...I'm betting it doesn't last unless they do a helluva lunch business.

No kidding. Incredibly expensive and hard to find, and once you find it, hard to get there.
If I'm in that part of town and want a good burger, I'd go to Burger Fiend.
it is not even close to burger king at all. carl's junior is way more closely related to bk
People are excited about the possibility of getting an average fast food chain in their town?
Welcome to Iowa.
Welcome to Iowa.
Whataburger would not be comparable to burger king because : bk has a char broiler,wb has a slider, or flat grill. bk has sesame seed buns, wb does not. wb chops up the onions, diced, bk has rings. the mustard is unique on wb, bk uses common mustard.
If you end up back in Owasso, go next door to WAB to Smitty's Garage Burgers. They make a FANTASTIC burger...and serve beer.
I disagree. Carls's jr aka Hardee's, and the burgers are much bigger and thicker than BK. Hardee's chargrills 1/3-lb burgers.
the Carl's junior here was nothing like hardees if the Midwest even though they owned them. Incidentally Carl's just closed down all the stores here. We had hardees 20 yrs ago. Maybe they should have tried that again here
Off I believe it's E 96th N a little farther east of WAB, right? Interesting, I asked the locals I trained there about it and their reaction wasn't nearly as exuberant as WAB.
Then again, most of them were college graduates. Like I say, they had a serious woody for WAB ketchup.
Probably going back down there sometime in April or May and the hotel I stay at is across the street. I'll have to check it out.
Smitty's is way better. Less of a fast food burger. More gourmet.
Another good burger (way better than WAB) can be found to the West on 96th at Bricktown Brewery. Their regular burger is excellent and they cook it perfectly medium with a little pink.
Based on my internet research, the menu at both are virtually the same. And Carls Jr. also use the Slutburger series of commercials featuring Kate Upton.
Agreed.
As a side note, it would probably be better if they put a question mark after: Whataburger?
Once it was true.Now franchises.The original in and out in baldwin park is still beyond good.Franchising SUCKS! Tommy's on Beverly and 3rd waay back when A Godly! Burger!

Davenport is getting a Freddy’s in the Village Shopping Center, a five guys in Utica Rige and rumor is two Portillo's in the area, one in Iowa, one in Moline.
Even in franchise, most every In-N-Out I've been to from California to Vegas to Texas, the staff was very very good and the food was excellent.
Double double and well done fries animal style, please! Place is awesome.
The West end cannot support that high end of a burger joint. Portillos and Five Guys will be out by Utica and 53rd. Announcements are weeks away.

1. It was a rumor about Five Guys
2. The rumor that it was coming to W. Kimberly Road was false.
3. We (WQAD) were able to confirm, though, that one IS coming to Davenport, on Utica Ridge Road.
4. KWQC first reported it was coming to west Davenport (false) and then that it was coming to Bettendorf (also false).
5. KWQC is fake news and everyone in the QC should watch/read WQAD.

The current Portillo's CEO is from Moline.
The Moline economic development director has doubled down on saying one is coming.
Of course, he also keeps saying we are getting a train to Chicago any day now......
Shut your dirty whore mouth. In & Out is McDonald's without the full menu.
Whataburger rocks.....
A little shop talk here....1. It was a rumor about Five Guys

The last paper (C.R. Gazette) delivered to our house was last Friday. I have called every day since then. They are going crazy at the office trying to figure out why the carrier keeps missing us. It's gotten past irritating to fascinating.
I'm going to give you a Good Friday beat down at the fight bar!
