Wayback Burgers

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Burgers were cold. Service is horrible and other customers after us were served first. We didn’t get our shakes until the very end. Called and complained to the manager who offered a free meal the next time we went in. BUT WHEN WE SHOWED UP THE VERY NEXT DAY they said we hadn’t called or that we must have called somewhere else. I showed the number that I called but they insisted I didn’t call them.
No longer support this business. I also have friends who have heard their servers complain about their orders within earshot.

It was decent. I won’t say great, or good as there are other much better burger joints in town. I’d say it fairs below 5 guys. The cost was comparable to other places in town. I was able to order online which was nice and even found a coupon since its a national chain. Fed 3 adults and a child for about $ 40. I do wish they had a combo instead of everything a la carte.
I ordered a bacon burger, onion rings and a shake. I’ll say the shake was tasty, but Buddy’s is better!

This place is pretty nifty. We went for dinner the other night and just beat the rush. I got a triple burger. They put cheese on it so they cheerfully remade it very quickly. The little guy’s chicken strips weren’t the greatest but not horrible either. My wife got a specialty burger and she was pretty pleased with it. I didn’t have the gumption to try their triple triple (yep, just like it sounds, 9 burger patties) but I will be back to give it a go. Fries were food and crispy. Not a huge fan of their fry sauce but I’m more of a ketchup guy anyway. We didn’t try the milkshakes but they seemed to be very popular and well received so I imagine they are pretty good. It’s in the strip mall (Santa Clara Square) so easy to miss. Next time you’re in the area stop by and give them a try.

Decent service, but Damn the food is so crappy. It tastes like any other fast food chain. Not worth it.

Stopped by for my lunch and this was my first visit to the Wayback Burger chain. Where I am from we do not have Wayback so I was pretty excited. They serve up fresh beef on a flat top and their squishy buns were quite nice. I went Rodeo Burger (American Cheese, Bacon, Onion Rings, BBQ sauce) and it was filling and tasty. Better than Carl’s Jr. and on par with Wendy’s, a pretty dang good fast food burger. The bacon was meaty but the burger patty would’ve been helped by a little love from the salt and pepper. Overall, I would definitely return.

Wayback Burger has a bigger menu than Five Guys and is about the same cost. The burger is tasty but this location is very slow though… The last time I came in to get an order to go I ended up sitting in there for about 15 – 20 minutes before getting my food. This was when it was pretty slow at 8 PM. It would be nice if the employees actually cared about getting your food to you in a timely manner. I’ll be sticking to Five Guys for now.

Yuck. Taste like cheap microwave meals. We will never return. Very disappointed. There were four of us and we all hated it. The quality is what you would expect from a free BBQ at a car dealership.

Burgers are pretty damn good. My only suggestion would be to order without Grilled Onions as those are what makes the burgers here super duper greasy. The milkshakes here are quite good also! Cookies n’ Cream or Café Mocha rein supreme.

Our family of 4 went to try out Wayback because we had heard «they have great food»…
We didn’t get that experience. We ordered, paid and sat down to start our 25 minute wait. There were more tables empty than full so I didn’t really understand the wait, but not a huge deal. Once the first of our four burgers arrived we only had to wait about 5 minutes between each burger before we could all eat together. The burgers looked great but we’re very greasy there was grease actually dripping out the bottom, the burgers were very salty and our fries were cold. Needless to say we didn’t eat our cold meals.
I don’t know if this is how it always is but our first experience here was not a good one.

Love this place! It can be pricey but their burgers are totally worth it. I recommend you try everything. The thing I like is that their burgers are very unique… something about them is way different than any place I’ve been to. Def a must try.

One of the better burger places we’ve found since moving to oregon ! Good quality, decent pricing.

I visited this place with my wife and kids. They have a very easy menu but everything is good. They have good shakes and the fries are very differently flavored in a good way. Parking is easy and its not crowded. The attitude from all the employees is very nice and attentive. The food didn’t take long to be ready and it was right the first time. I will definitely b back!

Our expectations of Wayback Burgers were based on the Unilocal reviews and we were not disappointed. The food was great, the employees were friendly, and the restaurant was clean. The beef was very fresh, which is a good thing, although it did fall apart slightly. (That would be my only complaint, but it’s not something that would keep me from going back.)

The beef they use is top notch! We raise our own grass fed beef and there beef rivals our organic beef!
Clean, fast, and friendly place to eat. The strawberry milkshake tastes like they used to before the use of soft serve shakes took over. Way to go Way back!
I will be going back again soon.

If you stick to the classic, single, and triple burgers, Wayback delivers a product similar to Dickey Jo’s, Five Guys, or any typical burger stand style place. The fries are ok, as are the milkshakes. The service has been fast and friendly each time I have gone.
The two marks against this place would be it isn’t always clean (not sure if they have challenges recovering from the lunch rush or what) and the price is a good 25% too high for what you get. A burger and domestic beer set me back a solid $ 17 once. Ok for the occasional lunch out with a bro or two, but not a place I could regular.
You could do much better (and I often do) at The Rogue with their Kobe burger and a pint of locally produced beer.

I was in there with my family for the first time several months ago. We ordered a variety of food including burgers, onion rings, and cheese fries. The patties were formed by hand which meant that some of the patties tended to break apart while you ate. They were pretty good though and much better than having a frozen patty cooked for a change.
The cheese fries were a very generous portion. The onion rings were okay — they seemed like they were made from scratch as well but they were somewhat bland. I wish we would have tried some of the handmade shakes but we did not because the entire order was kind of pricey.
Really the price was the only thing that was an issue. It cost about $ 28 for my wife and two children to eat. Compare that to what it would cost me to make the same thing at home and it isn’t as great a deal as I would have liked. I have not been back because the pricing is more than what I would like to spend on a single meal when there are less expensive options available.
The atmosphere was decent (floors were a little sticky) and the line moved quickly. I would recommend this place to others as long as they didn’t mind the cost because the quality of the food is pretty good.

Burger places are easy to find, and usually just okay. This one is squarely in the majority.
DLW and I wanted a little treat after doing good with a workout, so we stopped here for lunch. It’s clean and spacious, and not so tacky as a fast food restaurant usually is. They offer a pretty good variety of toppings, sides and shakes. They have a monthly feature burger and shake, pepperoni pizza and root beer when we were there. Their promotion currently is a challenge to consume their triple triple burger, that’s nine patties and a like number of cheese slices on one bun, in record time. No chance I’ll be taking that.
We each chose a specialty burger, southwest chipotle for her, Philly cheese for me, plus onion rings and chocolate banana shake to share. Burgers were double patties and two cheese slices, plenty big for lunch. I thought the chipotle burger could have packed more heat, but they probably play it safe on that score to avoid complaints. The Philly burger was plenty rich, with loads of onion and mushrooms, but underseasoned and quite greasy as well. Onion rings were crisp and fresh, but the batter was too thick and too sweet for my taste. Shake seemed to be made with frozen banana, which lent a nice little chew to the texture.
You can certainly do worse around here for burgers, but you can also find better. For the price it’s about what you should expect.

So I’m not sure what the deal is… but my gf and I were sitting side by side, in the car, directly at the doorway to this place, both reading Unilocal reviews… but her phone pulled up «Wayback Burger», and mine pulled up «Jake’s Wayback Burger». The two had different reviews and star ratings.
Since I’m sure I ate at the one within 45 Division, Suite A, I’ll review that one. :)
This place, to me, had the feel of an old burger joint. It was very clean, the staff were friendly, and the food was decent. I had the fried pickle and bacon burger, with O rings. In my estimation, the food was just a touch above Five Guys and a few touches better than Dickie Jo’s. That’s not tough though. DJ’s can be bested by a urinal cake, provided the urinal cake comes with fry sauce and a warm milkshake.
The portions were not large by any stretch of the imagination, nor were the prices inflated. I think I got exactly what I paid for, and I enjoyed it.
I would eat here again… just to sample some of their other wares. They have a nacho plate and a 9 patty burger that I’d like to try. The only knock I can offer (since everybody seems to look for one) is that half my food came on my partners plate. But how big a deal is that… I simply reached an additional 10 inches to get my o rings. With a meal like that, perhaps every one of us should be reaching a little further for the food… calisthenics, of a sort.

This is probably my favorite burger place in town. I don’t go as often as I like but every time I go, I am satisfied.
This last time I got a regular Jake burger, with the works. The meat was nice and juicy and the fries were fresh. I got a chocolate mint ice cream shake to go with it; nice and thick, very minty.
Also they have a burger and shake of the month. P-​lease! Great place for friends or family.
P. S. Beer on tap.

I heard rumors of a burger place that opened up off of River Road. Sure enough, Jake’s Wayback Burgers is located in the strip mall across from Fred Meyers. There’s not a ton of seating here, but enough to accommodate an average crowd.
The prices seemed to be fair, the portions were rather generous. I ordered a Double Cheese burger with fries and a Ninkasi Total Domination. Not many «Burger Joints» in this area have local brews, and even though this place had just 1 to choose from, it was better than nothing. While waiting for my food, one of the cooks approached me and asked if I would mind a 3^rd patty on my burger being they cooked up 1 extra on accident. I gladly accepted the additional layer of cow. With that in mind… My Triple Cheeseburger was not only huge, but it was really good. The fries were just as good as well. Not steak fries, but not shoe strings either. More importantly, they’re not soaked in grease like that nasty Dickie Junk’s BS…
My daughter had Chicken Strips, 2 decent sized strips with fries. The strips were strangely thin as hell, but did the trick for feeding the kid.
I’ll be fair when saying eating that huge burger, chowing on some salty fries and pairing it with the Total Domination was pretty damn good. While eating, one of the employee’s told me of a possible 9 patty challenge starting up in the next month or two. I’m not sure if I couldn’t tackle something of that magnitude, but I wouldn’t mind giving it a shot!
If you find out I had a heart attach, I probably attempted the 9 patty challenge…
