Whataburger’s Banana Pudding Shake and Bacon Steakhouse Double are back for a limite time starting Mar. 31. Here’s what you need to know.
Falling in love with a limited-time menu item at your favorite restaurant is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you’re glad and grateful to experience something that brings you joy. On the other hand, you know that joy is fleeting and you’ll have to part ways with it eventually. Thankfully for Whataburger fans who had this exact experience with the restaurant’s Banana Pudding Shake and/or Bacon Steakhouse Double, you’ll have the chance to recapture that joy again soon.
Starting on March 31, the Texas-founded chain is bringing back these two fan favorites (nationwide, BTW) for a limited time. As of writing, it’s unclear as to what “limited time” means here and when they’ll be off the menu again, so I’m going to strongly suggest swinging by to pick them up while you can. In a statement issued by Whataburger, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, Scott Hudler, said, “When it comes to menu items worth bringing back, these two set the bar. When guests start asking for something to come back before it even leaves, that’s when you know you’ve got something special.”
Here’s everything you need to know about these two items
The press release went on to say that fans have been buzzing nonstop for months for Whataburger to bring back the Banana Pudding Shake and Bacon Steakhouse Double, and it’s easy to see why. These items capture the quintessential Texas food experience in their own individual ways, but when you pair them together, it enhances that experience tenfold. For those who haven’t tried them yet, let’s get into all the mouth-watering details so you know what you’re in for when you order them for yourself.
The Banana Pudding Shake incorporates everything you love about the traditional Southern recipe you probably grew up eating. It’s made with banana-flavored ice cream, caramelized sugar, caramelized vanilla, and vanilla wafers. The Bacon Steakhouse Double became an instant favorite when it debuted in 2024, and is actually the best-selling limited-time menu item Whataburger has ever sold. It has two beef patties which are topped with bacon, two slices of ooey-gooey melted cheddar cheese, steak sauce, and fried onions. Oh, and the bun is toasted. This shake and burger pairing sounds like something Elvis would love, even if it is missing the peanut butter.
