Are Whataburger fries gluten free?
Whataburger's allergen data lists only soy for the fries; wheat, gluten, milk and egg are listed as not present.
The catch is the fryer. Breaded items such as onion rings and chicken contain wheat, and Whataburger does not state whether fries share oil with them. More in the gluten-free guide, and the oil question is answered in what oil Whataburger uses.
Ways to order fries
- Extra crispy or well done, a common request.
- No salt, which usually means a fresh batch.
- Swap to onion rings in a bundle for $1.80.
- Dip in Spicy Ketchup; see Whataburger Spicy Ketchup.
Every side is on the sides and fries menu, and all prices are in the menu prices guide.
Fries in a meal vs on their own
Most people get their fries inside a Whatameal. Regular meals come with medium fries; Jr. and value meals with small. Kids meals come with small fries too, as the Justaburger page shows. If you only want a side, a medium on its own is $2.99 at the Dallas store we checked, and fries stay on the menu around the clock at 24-hour stores, even during breakfast.
