DFW Airport, TEXAS – July 1, 2019 – Whataburger is opening its newest restaurant at Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport. The new restaurant is located in Terminal E - Satellite, which will host American Airlines regional flights. It will operate from 6 a.m. until 30 minutes before the last flight (around 10 p.m.) and will feed some of the more than 200,000 hungry air travelers who pass through the airport each day. The new Whataburger is the latest in a series of improvements to Terminal E over the past few years. To celebrate this long-awaited restaurant opening, the first 50 guests will receive a special gift from Whataburger.

In addition to fresh, never frozen burgers, as well as other popular menu items including french fries, onion rings, chicken strips and shakes, Whataburger is bringing a new All-Time Favorite to the menu: the Mushroom Swiss Burger. Fans can also enjoy the breakfast menu, available from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., which includes Whataburger’s popular Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit and warm Taquitos, perfect to kick-start an early morning. Plus, airport travelers who have never tried Whataburger can pick up the classic No. 1, even if they’re only in Texas for a layover!

Air travelers also have the option to make all of Whataburger’s offerings their own by customizing them to their liking – substituting mustard or mayo, removing any toppings, adding their favorite sauces, grilled veggies, cheese, or any other unique pairings, just like they like it.

“This new location is in one of the nation’s top international airports,” said Whataburger Franchisee Gilbert Aranza. “Whataburger can’t wait to share our delicious food with air travelers from around the world, including those who may be trying our famous Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits for the first time!”
