Rock Hill will soon have its own Whataburger. The Texas burger chain is set to debut its first York County location on Thursday, July 9, at a new restaurant on Cross Pointe Drive near Interstate 77.
For residents who have watched the chain plant roots throughout the greater Charlotte area, the Rock Hill address puts a long-anticipated option within easy reach on the South Carolina side of the state line.
A Celebration Planned for Day One
Doors open at 9 a.m., but the chain plans to mark the occasion with a ribbon cutting at 8:30 a.m. Guests who arrive among the first 100 in line will receive a Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit at no charge, and the restaurant intends to give away branded merchandise to those on hand for the festivities.
What the Menu Offers
The kitchen serves morning fare such as biscuit sandwiches, taquitos and hash brown sticks. Later in the day, the focus shifts to the chain’s signature burgers, built to order with a range of topping combinations, along with chicken sandwiches, strips and nuggets. Salads, shakes and desserts round out the options.
A Chain on the Move in the Carolinas
The Rock Hill opening adds to a string of new Whataburger outposts across the region. The chain’s push into the Carolinas began in earnest in Gastonia in May 2025 and has since spread to Charlotte, Mooresville, Hickory, High Point and Indian Land, South Carolina. Another Charlotte location, in the Mallard Creek area, is also in the works.
More information about the Rock Hill restaurant, including its address and hours, is available at locations.whataburger.com.
