Grilled Cheese: $1.99, 510 Calories (2026)

What comes on the Grilled Cheese

The Whataburger Grilled Cheese is two slices of American cheese on Texas toast, according to the delivery-app listing that copies Whataburger's build. Texas toast is the same thick bread used on the Patty Melt (230 cal).

It sits on the kids menu but anyone can order it, and it is the cheapest sandwich on the whole menu at the Dallas store we checked.

Price: sandwich vs Kids Whatameal

At Store #608 (Dallas Pkwy & Frankford, Dallas, TX) on Nov 3, 2026, the Grilled Cheese cost $1.99 on its own and $4.79 as a Kids Whatameal with small fries and a kids drink.

The meal adds $2.80 for fries and a drink. Delivery apps listed the meal about 29% higher.

Calories and nutrition

The sandwich has 510 calories, 16 g of protein, 28 g of fat (10 g saturated), 42 g of carbs and 1,300 mg of sodium. The Kids Whatameal is 830 calories.

That is a lot of sodium for a kids item, more than a #1 Whataburger's. The Texas toast is buttered and grilled, which is where much of the fat comes from.

Allergens

Whataburger lists gluten, milk, soy and wheat. Egg, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish are listed as not present. Mustard and sesame are not stated.

It is a meat-free sandwich, so vegetarians order it often; see vegetarian options and the allergen menu.

Ways to order it

• Add bacon ($1.80) for a bacon grilled cheese.
• Add jalapeños ($0.70).
• Add grilled onions, free, for a meatless patty-melt feel.
• Add a patty and you are close to the Patty Melt.

Other kids meals are on the kids menu, including the Justaburger.

Grilled Cheese vs Justaburger for kids

The Grilled Cheese Kids Whatameal costs $-0.20 less than the Justaburger Kids Whatameal at the Dallas store. It has milk (cheese) where the Justaburger does not, and no meat. On its own, the sandwich at $1.99 is the cheapest hot item we priced on the Dallas menu, handy as an add-on for a hungry kid.
