    I went here for the first time and loved everything I ordered. I had a bacon burger that was sooo good! Their milkshakes are what won me over. I ordered a strawberry milkshake and loved it so much that I ended up ordering a second one to go.

    Someone compared the burgers to Shake Shack, which I love, so admittedly I set my expectations high. No, the burger I got (a regular single patty cheeseburger ) did not taste like shake shack. The meat tasted like a standard pre-frozen patty thrown on the griddle. But it's a cute spot, albeit in an odd location , with a lot of seating and fun menu options. I just wasn't impressed with the quality for the price

    Came here on a suggestion of my uncle who lives a few blocks away. Located in a strip mall, quick glancing at the establishment, I would have probably never even realized it was a food joint.

    Walked inside and there were a few patrons scattered around some tables. The menu and ordering style reminded me a lot of the restaurant Five Guys back home.

    The lady at the cash register looked very unhappy to be working and glared at each member of our party (6 + a baby) as we ordered. It's not like she had to do much regarding our order, besides press some buttons. At least slap a fake smile on your face and call it a day.

    I ordered a single patty burger, with pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, tomato, grilled onion, and a side of fries. The burger was alright, it wasn't anything amazing that I would tell all my friends about. But it was good. My mom got onion rings as her side and I wish I had! THOSE were delicious! Had a sweet tea to drink and holy moly, I realize it's *sweet* tea but let me tell you, I felt myself wincing each time I sipped it was so unbelievably sweet.

    Would I go back? Yeah, I guess, but would definitely need to try something else! Like maybe a milkshake!

    Best burgers in the area and the buffalo chicken is out of this world! Super friendly staff always with a smile. Here i feel relaxed, welcomed, and i know i'm always getting an excellent meal.

    I am a big fan of fast food and wayback burgers is no exception to this. My two favorite things from there are the mac and cheese bites and the cookies and cream milkshake. The milkshakes are fairly large and you get approximately 7 mac and cheese bites. Very very yummy. The burgers are juicy and delicious reminiscent of a five guys or shake shack. Definitely love it here.
