Whataburger’s Deep Fried Lemon Pie
Just a quick review today - Whataburger’s lemon pie, available for a limited time only during summer months. It’s a refreshing treat this time of year, despite being deep fried and served hot. The 99 cent price and 230 calories make it almost guilt-free.
The crust is extremely crispy and flaky, with little chunks and pieces breaking away as you munch. If you’ve ever had the hot apple pies that McDonald’s used to serve (before switching from fried to baked) you will know exactly what I’m talking about.
The filling is smooth, thick and creamy, almost like eating warm pudding. There’s a strong zesty lemon flavor, just a bit of tartness and a mildly sweet quality. It makes a wonderful dessert after eating a burger and fries, or a terrific snack by itself.
The Lemon Pie from Whataburger is a tasty, affordable way to add a little summer sweetness to your next meal. Crunchy on the outside, rich and creamy on the inside, and ultimately quite satisfying. If you’re a lemon fan, your fast food pastry is here.

Those photos make me long for those old McDonald’s fried apple pies.
If Whataburger’s lemon pies are on par, I think an apple version would fill a void in the marketplace left long ago by McDonald’s.
