Wayback Burgers

Love the turkey burgers, as well as the regular burgers. Have never been disappointed by the food here.

I’m writing this review because my wife and I just went to this restaurant at 8:40pm and the sign in the window says they are open till 9pm. When we got there the doors were locked, the chairs on top of all the tables like they were closed. When I anonymously called the person that answered sounded high and said they are open till 9pm when I asked why the chairs were on the tables and the doors were locked he began to give me an excuse of that they were mopping which is ridiculous. Not sure when and or if I will be going back to this restaurant

This place was fairly generics, basically just another burger and fries place. I had the Rodeo burger and fries, finished it, tasted alright.
The ice machine was broken, supposedly, this has been going on for a while. I didn’t really mind as I don’t like much ice in my soda, but I could see this being a major issue to others. Strangely, every table had a bottle of ketchup on them and every single bottle was empty… Not sure what was going on there, but it was quite weird. I asked for ketchup and they gave me some from the back.

The star rating here on Unilocal is deceiving. First off, they had no ice in the drink machine. Soda was warm. Ew. The cashier was nice enough to bring us a cup of ice from the back, but that was only after asking for it. If the soda is not going to stay cool in the machine, would it be so hard to go buy a couple bags of ice from across the street?
Fries and onion rings were overcooked/​hard/​greasy. Burgers were ok. My dad’s hamburger bun was cold. Not a fan and never going back.

Called my order in the girl told me it would be ready in 10 minutes I was there in 8 minutes. The fries were cold the onion rings were cold, the burgers were undercooked and the milkshakes were small and over priced. I spent over $ 25 for a substandard meal. Will not go back! Will go to Dairy Queen next time! You shouldn’t have recook your food when you get it home!

The Lunch Special from 11am-​4pm is a perfect go to meal if you’re in the area and in the mood for a burger and fries. Nice environment and good service. Can’t go wrong!

I wish I was giving this place a good review because it’s close to my house and has a lot of potential, but it’s all wasted because the people working could not care less about customer service. My girlfriend and I googled the place and were pleased to find that they had online ordering. We placed our order and were told it would be ready in «17 minutes». I showed up 25 minutes later and informed the woman at the counter that I had ordered online. She waved a piece of paper at me, muttering «You mean this?», as if I could read the paper she was busy waving around. After I awkwardly stared at her for a moment she informed me that my order would be ready in about 5 minutes. Kind of defeats the purpose of setting up the infrastructure for online ordering if you’re not going to execute it well! The staff moved with no sense of purpose, like they would rather be anywhere else.
When we finally got our food, they screwed more up than they did correctly. My girlfriend paid extra to add bacon to her burger, the bacon was nowhere to be found. She also had toppings on her burger that she did not want and mentioned in the special instructions. Once again, what’s the point of online ordering if you’re not going to even read the order? We also ordered a side of sauce with the onion rings that we ordered that never made it in to the bag. The onion rings were good (albeit pre-​made and frozen) but were lacking something. The sauce that I paid for!
My burger was edible, in the way that a glass of grease is edible.
The owner is wasting money on this place if he or she is not going to staff it with people that care even slightly about the job they are doing. I won’t be coming back.

Tried the new turkey burger. Wish I would have gotten a burger.

Came here to order a burger was charged for the wrong burger, when I asked for my refund I was originally told it was the same price. I explained to her there was almost a $ 2 difference. So when the cook asked what happened his response was «oh that not a big deal». It is a big deal when you are overcharging people for burgers. The fries were cold and disgusting. Waste of money. Don’t waste your time

The burgers are good but this place is overpriced. I rather go to 5 guys. I pay almost $ 7 for something that doesn’t come with a drink or fries and it’s a small burger at that. Probably not buying from here again.

Great burgers! Great Service! You can taste the freshness in every bite! Another thing you should try is the Milk shakes which are what I imagine the shake in Pulp Fiction would taste like !!

Wayback Burgers reminds me somewhat of Steak and Shake. Cute little diner with seating inside and a few tables outside.
The burgers are decent and I like how you can have endless toppings for no extra charge. You can even do a double chicken sandwich which I did the last time! My son loves the kids meal which is plenty for him. Burger, fries and a kids drink. If you check in on Unilocal you get a free milkshake :)

I ate a meal at Wayback Burgers last year and was not impressed. I decided to give it another chance today. I wanted to sample a couple of different things so I ordered the cheesy burger, chili cheese fries and the nachos. I’ll begin in reverse order.
The nachos were horrible. I truly believe that they use standard potato chips and cover them with low quality cheese and cat food. Hell, if I had a cat and presented this food to it, it probably would have run away.
The fries were no different. Low quality ingredients all the way. Completely lacking flavor.
And now the burger. This would have been the tastiest burger you ever tried. If you were completely DRUNK! One of the worst burgers I’ve ever had.
My overall opinion about Wayback Burgers? Leave them way back where you found them.

1 – 8:48pm open sign not on.
2-Men’s room floors and sink filthy.
3-​People wanting to come in at this time and they are sliding the stools and chairs across the floor not very welcoming. Two ladies walked away.
4-​Dining roof floors full of grease
5-​Standing at counter looking behind looks like a mess
Mr Owner WAKE UP !!! There is no pride in ownership here at all. I came when you first opened and it was spotless now becoming a dump. You could be doing much more sales if ran like a real viable business. If you are tired SELL IT.
Just had the food… had to wait for them to correct my order so all soggy.
Kids are in charge of your destiny.

I was very disappointed with this order. I placed my order online for delivery, and was very specific with it. I ordered the Rodeo Burger solely for the barbecue sauce, and to my extreme dismay, there was NO sauce on my burger whatsoever. I had even asked for extra on the side as well, so I really don’t understand how both of these requests could have been missed, especially considering it’s one of only three toppings they place of this burger. Not only did they forget the sauce on the burger and on the side, but they also forgot another sauce for a second burger (we also manually typed this request in, so it’s not like it accidently was deleted or not added).
Needless to say, I am more than disappointed.

****UPDATE: I spoke with Andrew, the owner/​manager of this Wayback location. He apologized for the error with my order and offered me a replacement burger at no charge to me. I received the replacement and it was excellent. I will definitely return to this location as they seem to genuinely care about customer satisfaction.****
I went here today to try it out for lunch after a friend recommended it. I ordered the burger of the month (2 patties with cheese, chili, Fritos, and sour cream) and the chili cheese fries.
The burger was juicy and tender, but it was missing something… the chili. I had already gone back home (this was a takeout order) and didn’t feel like making another trip out there, so I just ate it. Other than the missing chili, it was pretty good.
The chili cheese fries were great. They were loaded with chili and bacon, and smothered in plenty of cheese.
Overall I gave them only two stars because of the missing chili on the burger. The reason I went so low is because they were not extremely busy, so there really was no reason for them to forget the chili. I might eventually give them a second chance, but I will definitely make sure to thoroughly check my order before leaving.

Tried this place again today and it was much better! Burgers tasted great. I got the pepper jack cheese on my burger which was a nice touch. Not many fast casual restaurants have options besides American and cheddar, this place also has Swiss and pepper jack.

I’ve seen some promotion of this place lately, and I got curious. We came in on a Sunday before Costco. The dining room was busy, but not crowded, or even full. We took a few moments to read the menu, then ordered… painless process.
Licia helped us (very nice, friendly smile, payed attention), offered the combo, so we each got it. I ordered the Bacon-​Cheeseburger, no ketchup (ketchup is disgusting… it just is) with onion rings. She got the Wayback Burger as-​is.
The food came quickly, they delivered it to our table. My burger was cooked as I like it, and the onion rings were crispy, and the right color. The vegetables were cold, and crispy (some of the better pickles I’ve had on a burger lately), fresh tomato, crisp lettuce, chopped onions (great flavor on the onions)…I really enjoyed this burger.
I didn’t bother asking about her burger… she wouldn’t have been able to answer… mouth full of burger, and all.
All in all I really liked this place. I will even go out of my way to eat here again.

Little greasy but good. Nice for a quick lunch if in the area. More of a fast food style restaurant.

Ok here’s the real deal on this place. Burgers are same as Steak and Shake. To compare them to anything else simply isn’t fair.
Burgers weren’t bad. Fries were good (I’m not a fan of crispy fries) Vanilla milkshake was thick and very tasty. But shakes always depend on who makes it.
A lot of reviews talk about kids running the place and lots of messed up orders
Mine came out fine. It was a simple order but while I was here they messed up a couple orders. That complaint is very legit
