A graphic from online consumer insight company Top Data shows A&W as Texas's top burger chain. 

Whataburger isn't the best burger chain in Texas. 

That's according to a new list, which included California-based chain In-N-Out and New York-based chain Shake Shack in their top five for Texas. A&W Restaurants took the crown in both Texas and Oklahoma, according to the list, which was compiled by online consumer insight company Top Data on Thursday. 

The list was compiled by combining "GPS tracking data" with a survey of 1,000 Americans on the "largest burger chains," Top Data wrote. GPS tracking data means knowing how many times a given chain has been visited by state residents. 

The top five chains in Texas, according to the list, are A&W Restaurants, In-N-Out Burger, Steak 'n Shake, Shake Shack and Culver's, respectively. So three Midwestern-based chains, one from California and one from New York to represent Texas.

Almost predictably, the list, shared by Twitter users including sports reporter Darren Rovell, sent Texas into a meltdown. Whataburger trended on Twitter Friday, and even got the San Antonio-based chain itself involved in the drama. Whataburger had a lot to say about the list, responding to several Twitter users, including Rovell.  

haha where's the real map

The list even seemingly accomplished the impossible, uniting Texas and Oklahoma residents in shared frustration, during college football season no less. While both were listed by the map as having A&W as their top burger chain, Twitter was filled with responses citing more significant and numerous local chains, with Whataburger for Texas and Braum's for Oklahoma. 

Below are more social media reactions to the Whataburger slight:

This map is an absolute joke. The fact that McDonalds is even on here once immediately removes any credibility. There's not even a Steak and Shake in Rhode Island and that's their top burger?! Where is Whataburger? Where is Culvers? https://t.co/s6KKdyb9vt

Ummmm... where is .@Whataburger !?!?! As a texan I call shenanigans! https://t.co/WQpNZEraLd

I didn't even know A&W was a thing in Texas. There are 23 locations here. Meanwhile, there are 670 Whataburgers. This map is so bogus it's insulting. Now, I'm hungry for a @Whataburger https://t.co/2RoOZ1M6ad

A&W ain’t even the consensus best root beer in Texas bro what are we doing slandering Whataburger’s name like this And do you now how often Oklahoma people talk to me about Braum’s?

I don't even know what AW is except for root beer. I haven't seen an eatery anywhere in my travels around Texas. How @Whataburger isn't the winner is just crazy. I believe people make these maps just to incite hate tweets about the results. We deserve better! 😛 https://t.co/hAgFMOlaOT

Whoever made this map CLEARLY wasn't Texan. I'm not sure they even asked Texans. 🤣 #whataburger https://t.co/vZmSCITLnL

A Whataburger location is seen in Texas. Whataburger was recently left off a list of top burger chains in the state.
