But wait, there’s more! The first 100 customers will be treated to free honey butter chicken biscuits. These little delights are a crowd favorite, so be sure to get there early if you want a taste!

Whataburger is known for its delicious burgers, fries, and other favorites that keep customers coming back for more.
