Wayback Burgers

M first time here and I had the Veggie Burger and the Chili… both were delicious! The choices are not just beef burgers. They have turkey, cod, chicken, & veggie and hot dogs. Also on the menu is are a variety of shakes, fries, & onion rings. The ambience is clean, friendly, modern way back. TV. I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu.

Took the family out to lunch last weekend at this burger joint. Kids love love loved it. They got great diner style burgers on super soft rolls with yummy french fries and chocolate shakes. Definitely a feeling lunch. No need for dinner that night ha ha.

Came here with the family they treated my kids well. The food was i think a little on the expensive side, however when i read they donate to veteran groups, that won me over being a vet myself. I got the carolina butger, it wasnt too bad pretty good. I would order it again. The slaw was good.

I’ve had great experience both times I’ve been. The staff are friendly and helpful. The December special burger (on pretzel bread) was simply amazing (can this be on the regular menu? If so I’d get it all the time) as was the Carolina burger that I had the second time I went. Both times there was a bit of a wait, but it’s made to order so I didn’t mind waiting since it was so fresh when it came to my table. Yes, it’s a bit pricier than the typical fast food burger, but you’re not getting a typical fast food burger. Much, much better!

Overall it was good. Has a similar concept too 5 Guys with a larger menu. Burgers are a smaller then 5 Guys and not cooked as long so they are juicier. They are also a little less expensive. Similar lunch was $ 2 less.

Why is it that some Transplants feel the need to a la carte a simple burger into $$, for mediocrity from hell. Ain’t a cereal aisle and frozen onion rings? Balls, stooooopid and good luck. Wayback needs to get waaaayback to the drawing board. Can’t even do a Patty Melt right and this franchise is a northern franchise!!!
Later taters, hope your lease isn’t long term. $$wasted big time!

Two visits now and both times the order was wrong. Burgers are good but the prices are steep.

Wow what great burgers. Hadn’t planned on finished the Carolina but I did! Couldn’t stop myself. They also have excellent milk shakes and malts made with REAL ice cream. Looking forward to coming back.

We drove past this place a few days ago and flagged if as a place we wanted to try. Today we went for lunch and it was delicious! My kids loved their kids meals — budge and chicken tenders — and my wife and I thought the burgers were great! This is better than five guys in my opinion… no it’s not the best burger place ever, but for the area, it’s very good! ORDER THE CHILI CHEESE FRIES AND THE MILKSHAKES! (Caps for emphasis) The staff was super friendly. It’s new, but the place is super clean and decorated really well. We will come back!

Very disappointing. There is only one register and I had to wait for 10 minutes while a customer placed an order. I just ordered the Carolina burger and nothing else. It cooked up pretty quick but the bun was cold and falling apart. Maybe if the bun was toasted it might hold together better. The meat had no flavor and the slaw and chili were falling out the sides of the burger which helped cause the bun to fall apart. Won’t go back when there are better and cheaper burgers down the road at Showmars.

I was excited about a new burger spot in Matthews but was disappointed in the flavor and prices of wayback burger. The customer service was great, so I gave 2stars just for that. I really felt like none of our burgers had a distinct flavor. Definitely not worth the $ 30 we paid for, the fries deep fried in oil that came along with the order had no flavor beyond the grease we had to sprinkle too much salt and add more than ketchup .
I ordered the «Philly» an all beef two patty burger with mushrooms and sauteed onions, where were the mushrooms, and they definitely came from a can or jar :(. My daughter got the jalapeño burger, hmmmmmmmmmm same burger as mine with a few slices of jar jalapenos, double sad face ! The buns were your basic store bought buns, the bottled water was like being at a Panthers game, Jeez I could’ve purchased an entire pack from the supermarket. I really was hoping to give an outstanding review but when you have 2 other individuals not enjoying their bland burger patties with limited toppings, what can you do.

Burgers are ok, nothing great. Fries were a bit soggy. Staff all friendly. Waited a long time for my burger. Just like Five Guys, the burger feels like a weight in the pit of your stomach an hour after eating and you smell like a burger the rest of the night.

I was there first official customer. Delicious burger and fries. Great people too. Check them out.

We went to the Matthew’s location on its grand opening night and the place was packed. Despite it being their first night on the job with a line out the door, the staff was incredibly nice and the food was delicious. The onion rings were amazing and the milkshakes crazy good.
