The Texas Avenue Page - The Brands

For years, there's been a "Carbon-izer.com" button at the top, and I've decided that to better serve this site I should integrate those a bit better. What I've essentially done is created a whole webpage for everything on Texas Avenue that does NOT have a blog post, and for most of it, never will. The Texas Avenue page, as of this writing, will be updated by the end of the month (yes, it does have some rough edges), but also serves as a landing page for all the other categories that fit into it. I verified everything below to go in...couldn't find [bars and nightclubs] though...and more will likely be added.

This page is not on the Index.

Because of the limitations of Blogger, this particular post just covers brands. More pages to cover soon.

Dominik Drive Whataburger

The sun sets behind this Whataburger, but don't worry, it's open late!
This Whataburger (number 78) at 105 Dominik Drive is another restaurant that has been here for decades (though been rebuilt a few times). This is the closest Whataburger to campus and its quality was rather mid-line, better than the later Wellborn Road Whataburger but not as good as the Rock Prairie Whataburger. While Whataburger drags its feet on a redevelopment of the site that would integrate the pads of a defunct Texaco-turned-Shell and the old Pepe's-turned-Gumby's. The first reference comes in 1970 but was rebuilt around 1986. In January 1996 the store caught fire but a "mobile Whataburger" serviced the area until the Whataburger reopened that spring. While it is the closest Whataburger to campus, for a brief time it was not as you could get Whataburger in the Sbisa basement. It was also at this location that I realized Whataburger had subtly changed its logo.

UPDATE 06-19-2025: Archived previous update and shortened some of the post. UPDATE 06-05-2026: Added [Whataburger] tag.
