Updated February 2024! <\/strong>Whataburger is a fast food hamburger chain that can be found throughout the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. They have a traditional indulgent menu with several dairy-free burger, sandwich, and French fry options.\u00a0Whataburger offers quite a few options for dairy-free diners, but please take note of their inconsistencies below. I’ve followed up with their staff on issues with labeling, but they don’t always get fixed.<\/p>\n

Whataburger Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Custom Order, Allergen, and Vegan Notes<\/h2>\n

This menu guide includes dairy-free menu options first, followed by custom order components. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks. Please note that this guide is for the U.S. locations. Options may vary in other countries.<\/p>\n

Fryer Note:<\/strong> They use a liquid shortening for frying, and all fried items might be cooked in shared fryers with items that contain milk. Verify at your location if potential cross-contamination in fryers is a concern.<\/p>\n

Butter Note<\/strong>: Whataburger does not use any real dairy butter on their buns or grill. They have a bun oil and a liquid margarine, both of which are dairy-free according to the company. They do have a margarine on hand for the pancakes that contains milk, but at last check, it wasn’t used for or served with any other items. But as always, individual locations can take liberties. Please make sure your location is not using any type of dairy butter.<\/p>\n

Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: <\/strong>We did not see any menu items containing peanuts or tree nuts. Most menu items at Whataburger contain wheat and soy (soy oil is used in most items). They do not offer a gluten-free bun, but you can order a burger or grilled chicken on lettuce. Whataburger salads and sides, as listed below, can be ordered without gluten. We’ve noted which items contain egg in the list below, based on the ingredients. There are some discrepancies with the allergen icons and the ingredients for egg, so be sure to verify before ordering. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide<\/strong><\/a> at the bottom of this post.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
