Frequently Asked Questions
Why do prices for this item vary so much online? Whataburger adjusts pricing slightly by state and city, and a lot of older menu-tracking sites simply haven’t updated their listings recently. $3.39 is the current accurate price as of this update.
Is the chicken fried or grilled? It’s a breaded, fried chicken strip, not grilled. That’s part of why it runs higher in calories than some of the other breakfast options.
Can I get it with the Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuit instead? Yes, that swap is available at no extra charge if you want a spicier version of the same sandwich.
Does it come with cheese already? No, cheese isn’t included by default. American or Monterey Jack can be added for a small extra charge.
How much sugar is in the honey butter? The full sandwich has 9 grams of sugar, most of which comes from the honey butter itself.
Is it available outside breakfast hours? No, it’s only served during the 11pm to 11am breakfast window, the same as the rest of the breakfast menu.
Can I add bacon or an egg to it? Yes, both are common add-ons. Bacon runs an extra dollar and egg adds about ninety cents.
What’s the sodium content? Around 970 milligrams, which is worth factoring in if you’re watching daily sodium intake.
Is this the most popular breakfast item at Whataburger? It’s consistently one of the top two or three, usually mentioned alongside the Taquito with Cheese and the Breakfast Burger.
Does it contain dairy? Yes, both the biscuit and the honey butter sauce contain milk-based ingredients.
What’s the difference between ordering it solo versus as a Whatameal? The Whatameal adds hash brown sticks and a drink for a bundled price, which usually works out cheaper than buying all three separately.
Is it a heavy breakfast option? It’s on the richer side compared to something like an Egg Sandwich, mostly due to the fried chicken and the sugar in the honey butter.
