#4 Jalapeno & Cheese Whataburger: $6.69, 680 Calories (2026)

What comes on a #4 Jalapeño and Cheese Whataburger

The #4 takes the #1 and adds two things. Whataburger's online menu lists a large 5-inch bun, one large beef patty, one slice of American cheese and jalapeños, plus the usual tomato, lettuce, pickles, diced onions and mustard.

Those two extras add 90 calories over a #1 (590 vs 680). The jalapeños are sliced peppers on top of the patty; Whataburger does not say on its menu whether they are pickled, so ask at your store if that matters. You can also ask for grilled jalapeños instead, which the online builder lists at the same $0.70 add-on price.

#4 price: sandwich and Whatameal

At Store #608 (Dallas Pkwy & Frankford, Dallas, TX) on Nov 3, 2026, the #4 was $6.69 and the Whatameal was $10.29. The meal upgrade is $3.60 for medium fries and a medium drink, and the meal comes to 1,490 calories.

Here is a useful detail: the #4 costs $0.70 more than a #1, which is exactly the jalapeño add-on price. So ordering the #4 is simpler than building it from a #1, and the cheese comes with it. On a delivery app it was $8.67, about 30% more.

Jalapeño and Cheese Whataburger calories

Whataburger lists the #4 at 680 calories for the sandwich and 1,490 as a Whatameal. The full breakdown of fat, protein, carbs and sodium has not been published for the current recipe, so the table below shows dashes for it next to the burgers that do have full data.

Since the #4 is a #1 plus a cheese slice and peppers, its protein and carbs will sit close to the #1 numbers; treat that as a guide, not a published figure. For calorie counting on any custom order, use the calorie calculator.

Allergens in the #4

Whataburger's allergen data did not include a line for the #4 in the version we pulled. The #1 lists wheat, gluten and soy from the bun, and the #5, which uses the same American cheese, adds milk.

So expect at least wheat, gluten, soy and milk, and check Whataburger's own allergen chart before ordering. The allergen menu explains how to read it.

Popular changes to the #4

• Add bacon for $1.80. At that point the #5 Bacon & Cheese plus jalapeños may be the easier order.
• Add jalapeño cream cheese for $0.90 (70 cal) if you want more heat and creaminess.
• Make it a double: extra patties show their price in the app.
• Swap the sauce: creamy pepper, ketchup or mayonnaise instead of mustard are free changes.

More combinations are in the secret menu guide.
