Second Whataburger Location Near Campus Adds To Legendary Tuscaloosa Lineup
June 20, 2018 -- Whataburger is proud to open its doors to the second Tuscaloosa restaurant, located near the University of Alabama campus at 13th Street and McFarland Boulevard, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
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 also bringing a few limited-time menu items including the fan-favorite Buffalo Ranch Chicken Strip Sandwich and Salted Caramel Shake. Whataburger’s popular breakfast menu, including the fan-favorite Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit and Taquitos, will be available from 11 p.m. to 11 a.m.
Customers 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.
Whataburger is a proud sponsor of University of Alabama athletics including football, men’s and women’s basketball, gymnastics, softball and baseball. To show Whataburger’s support for the university, there is a Crimson Tide logo on the exterior of the restaurant and a mural showcasing iconic photos of the University of Alabama on display in the dining room.
“Whataburger received such positive response from the community after opening our first restaurant,” said Whataburger Director of Operations John Attra. “By adding another location close to campus, we look forward to continuing our involvement with the university and satisfying all-day cravings and late-night appetites.”
