"But what makes the signature sandwich so popular? From first glance, Whataburger's patty melt looks like a grilled cheese and a burger had a baby, which is certainly enticing. Take a closer look, though, and you'll fall in love with the details of the melt beyond the juicy beef patty - the true-to-Texas-pride Texas toast, the creamy pepper sauce, the Monterey jack cheese, and the grilled onions."
"This sandwich is all about a melding of flavors and textures, which is everything a good patty melt should be. And Whataburger customers can't get enough of it. In an r/Whataburger Reddit post about which was better - the patty melt or the original Whataburger - support for the patty melt was strong. One fan wrote, "Patty Melt by 5,280 feet." Another called it "the best burger in fast food.""
Whataburger's patty melt pairs a juicy beef patty with Monterey jack cheese, grilled onions, creamy pepper sauce, and true-to-Texas Texas toast for a hybrid grilled-cheese-and-burger experience. The sandwich emphasizes a melding of flavors and textures, balancing savory notes, pepper, and a slight tang in the sauce. Fans praise the patty melt on social platforms, calling it the best fast-food burger and showing strong support in Reddit threads. Customers often customize the sandwich with bacon, jalapeños, avocado, or extra onions to amplify textures and tastes. The patty melt debuted as a limited-time item in July 2008 and returned in 2011 due to demand.
