Power lines wrapped around Whataburger in southwest Houston as families without power searched for food after Hurricane Beryl

HOUSTON – If you’re one of the millions of residents without power in the Houston area, you may be looking for fresh, hot food to eat while you deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.

I was able to spot an open Whataburger, located at 7411 Southwest Fwy., on Monday evening.

It was one of the few places that opened as many businesses and homes were left without power as CenterPoint Energy worked to restore power to about 1.6 million customers — and that’s in Harris County alone.

I asked the two hard-working employees how long they were open and they replied, “We’re open 24 hours a day.” I was even told that the store’s operations manager took off his work clothes and sprang into action to help his employees on the grill.

Lines wrapped around the store. The drive-through option is only available at this time.

While this location is the only one we have found open in Southwest Houston, there may be others and we want to help other families find open locations they may not know about.

Leave a comment below about restaurants or food trucks that are open to help your Houston area neighbors.

We hope to update this story with a list of viewer locations.
