My husband and I went to have a early lunch on a Sunday. Staff was friendly, ordering was easy and the wait was not long. The tables needed to be cleaned as did the soda stations. The chili cheese fries were awesome! Burgers were good not greasy,and flavorful however the single burger was much smaller than the bun. The manager was nice, went around to the tables asking how everything was. We would def go back again. read more

Great Burgers, the cheesy is insanely good, and the service matches the quality of the food. I've had their burgers many times, always high quality, and extremely tasty. read more

Great burgers. Expensive burgers! Unique items. One of a kind menu. Expensive. It took a while to get what we wanted. But it is more a restaurant then a burger joint. The price reflects this. It's always good food but I 'd rather go to Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Its decor is less than you would expect it to be for the price and for the assumption it is a restaurant. read more

Great Burger. Simple, Fresh, and Moist. They have some unique options in addition to a traditional cheese burger, but all are very tasty. Fries and other menu items are excellent. read more

PLEASE READ-My mother ordered from here and completely messed up her order. they literally gave her tater tots and that's it. she ordered a craft your own double and buffalo tenders no TOTS . so please don't order here this is dumb. read more

My family really liked the place, flavors and different options. Customer care was great and the staff had a genuine smile. Highly recommend to burgers lovers read more

This place has ok food but I would love to meet the guy who hires the people that work here. They are totally incompetent, I called the store while I was in 4 times and watched the two employees showing each other stuff on their cell phones ignoring the incoming calls. The way the staff presents them self and the way they speak to the customers there is no way they care AT ALL about their job. If I had to repeat myself one more time I was going to go back there and make my own food. This place needs, a new staff, new hiring policies and random drug testing in order to keep this place from failing even more. Will I be back? Only if I have the patience and am craving the milkshakes read more

I love this place. The food is always fresh and their milkshakes are delicious. The service is, outstanding and they are always willing to give, u what u ordered. I have never had an issue with anything. read more

Good food. Nice people. Clean place. One thing missing. . . Changing tables in the bathrooms. Having to change a diaper on the floor is not ideal. read more

My son and I stopped here for the first time last week. Ordered online through Yelp (super easy) and loved the food. Burgers were delicious, milkshake hit the spot and the fries were crispy and salty :) Will definitely be back! read more

Great burgers and fries!!!! Best I've had in a while...price reasonable... Can't wait to come back.... Oh did I mention they have shakes!!!!

The service is great they are all happy people here very helping and check up on you regularly. Now for food I got the cheesy burger and for the side I went with the chili cheese fries. Not a bad place the burger was great the bread had that perfect crunch and the meat was nice and tender the fires were not to bad although I wasn't to happy about the chili but can't complain it's better than other places. If you have ever had jack in the box well the burger taste like that to me read more

I was surprised to see only 3 stars because it was great food, friendly staff and above all it was cheap! It was our first time but not our last! read more

Typical tasty greasy burger. Nothing special about it. It seemed to take a while for a fast food joint... about 5 minutes, no one ahead of me to order and two orders were served before mine. read more

Best new spot in Woodbridge!!! Better than 5Guys. Food made fresh, staff welcoming and very friendly make sure you load the app on your phone so you can earn points....enjoy! read more

Went for first time, ordered: Bacon cheeseburger Chili cheese fries Chocolate milkshake Wife got the classic burger Everything was fine, nothing really negative to complain about. But at the same time, nothing stood out as really great, or even above average. They're definitely not in Five Guys league. The milkshake didn't taste bad, but it was way below what you would get at a real ice cream place. At $6.99, I would advise you to pass on it. If I was hungry now, and had limited options, I could definitely see myself going back. But since the odds of that happening are pretty low, it's highly unlikely that I'll ever return...especially since I'd have to drive right past Five Guys on the way. I certainly wouldn't advise anyone not to go there, but I really can't recommend this place either. read more

Super annoyed and disappointed. Placed a $46 order with Grubhub. Ordered cheese fries, got plain fries. No cheese, but you know I was charged for it. Ordered a fish sandwich, and it had one fish finger on it. I had multiple bites that only had tomato and bun bc the fish was so small. The fish sandwich is supposed to come with lettuce and tartar. You can add other items, like onion, tomato and pickles, which I did. My sandwich comes, and all it has on it is the onion, tomato and pickle. No lettuce or tartar. Would have been very angry, except that i paid an extra $.60 for a side of spicy roumalade, so I used that instead of tartar. Rest of the order was fine but I certainly won't risk ordering from here again. read more

Pricey for what you get, but a good burger if you like the CheeburgerCheeburger and Steak n Shake variety. Fresh beef, cooked nice and greasy just like a diner burger should be. Onion rings are delicious as well. If you're on a diet, stay home. read more

Very good burger. Pretty much the same quality and taste as five guys. Relatively the same price as well. The burger was very tasty and it comes with plenty of free toppings. The lady who took my order was very nice and I told her it's my first time so I was struggling to find the right sauce. I displayed interest in 2 sauces. I went with one and when I picked up the food, she told me she put some of the 2nd sauce on the side so I could try it and see if I liked it. It's the small things that count and I can't remember the last time an employee at a customer service place did such a caring and thoughtful act for me. read more

What is so hard about answering a customer's question? I asked why the portion was so small for the Caesar salad and was ignored by the staff at the counter. The poor kid that stuck around stated he had never dealt with a customer concern. No problem with that but it's sad how the adults hung him out to dry like that by running into the back prep area. There are so many other burger places around here so I am almost positive I will never be back. It's sad because my kids really like this neighborhood spot but I don't like being ripped off and ignored. read more

If I had to describe this place it would be like a steak and shake with a little bit of change.

Went in for the first and last time today. Slooooow service. We stood in line for over 20 minutes and finally decided to leave. People had all placed orders and were sitting waiting. Very unhappy looking lady dumping frozen fries in a basket. How about fresh fries Wayback? This was the quietest most unhappy looking bunch of people I've seen in a while. read more

OK! I am giving this place two months to get their act together otherwise they will fall into the pit of failed, poorly run food establishments. Went there on a Sunday around 12 p.m. Place was empty two take out costumers My first impression was some random guy with extra cash decided to bring an unknown franchise to Ashburn. Decor is ok, looks unfinished, looks like a community college cafeteria. Ovbiously they were just trying the machines and did not know how to place an order yet two people had to assist the new employee. I ordered the cheesy burger and a jake's double bacon and two junior cheeseburgers for my children. The price for "JUST" the burgers was 25 dollars NOW THE FUN PART BEGINS.... If you want fries and a drink add 4 dollars with taxes to each hamburger making each hamburger a pretty pricey hamburger. The combo does not include milk so be prepare to pay an extra 1.50 for milk. And NO THEY DO NOT HAVE KIDS CUPS, They are not kid friendly and do not offer a kids meals so if you are a parent be aware of this. Someone has to wonder how these people study the area before opening a restaurant. The cheesy burger comes with a buttered bun which was impossible to eat, the amount of butter might give you an artery instaclog after an hour. The meat was mediocre at best and fries were nothing but low end sysco quality fries. If you are to pay 15 dollars for a stadium quality burger at least change your gloves after going to the cashier since your pre cooked fries are right behind the cashier. Anyways.... I rather pay the extra 4 dollars at Mortons and get a real burger if I am to pay 14 bucks for a mediocre at best burger. Like a said I will update this review in two months to see if they have changed, otherwise this will be nothing but dust in the wind. read more

I have come back to Jake's a couple of times since my first visit, and I have to tell ya, its grown on me. Everything is made fresh at time of order and pretty tasty. The Cheesy burger is a calorie bomb but incredibly delicious with tons of cheese and an extra buttered bun. If I didn't think it would put me in the hospital for quadruple bypass surgery, I would eat these all the time. The fries are OK, but not as good as 5 guys, but they are perfectly acceptable as a compliment to the burger. The onion rings are better than the fries in my opinion. Service is friendly and relatively fast considering they don't start cooking until you order it. It is good burger joint, and I would recommend it as an alternative to 5 guys. I'm glad we have it around here. read more

This place is okay. Nothing special. Made me upset that I drove by five guys to get here.

True burger joint. Really good food with good portions. Priced reasonably. Fries were nothing special but burger was spot on.

Agree with many of the previous comments. My son and I stopped in last night around 7:30pm. There was one other customer in the store besides us and our food (a salad[!], Chipotle burger, "full" fries and an onion ring still took over 20 minutes to come from the kitchen. No, wait! The onion rings took an extra 5 minutes -- to the point where we had pretty much finished our salad and burger when they came out. I told my son his burger looked like a "Double" from Wendys! He said it tasted pretty much the same -- nothing notable. The fries were just ok and the onion rings (we ate at home) were good except the one whose center was completely filled with raw dry batter (!). The lettuce in the salad was warm/wilted but ironically, the grilled chick on top was cold. Of all the "gourmet" burger places popping up in LoCo (we've tried 'em all), this one comes in last. read more

Ordered the caesar salad. Served on iceberg lettuce. When I told staff that wasnt a caesar, they had no idea it was supposed to be romain. Maybe 10 shreds of parmigian. The chicken nuggets are processed chicken, not breast. Staff also didnt know that and had to go pull the frozen bag out of the freezer to read ingredients. Fish also a processed frozen food. Nothing fresh or authentic about this place. They did give me a refund. Staff was friendly but they were uninformed and unknowledgable about the very food they were serving. It is 2016 and you are in the most affluent county in the US. This is unacceptable. read more

I'm gunna get straight to the point. I got burgers and shakes for my girlfriend and I last night. Shakes where good, burgers tasted terrible. I took 3 bites and gave up. Today we are both extremely sick and puking from 8 am till now 10 pm. Will never eat here again. read more

I just tried my first Jake's Way back burger and first thought is that for one person, vege burger with cheese fries and a shake cost me $13.00. Talk about expensive. OMG it is a frozen Boca veggie pattie. I got charged separate for everything since apparently you cannot get a veggie burger in a combo. And veggie burgers are more expensive says the cashier guy. Really??? The veggie pattie unseasoned, the bunch was flat from being smashed down on the grill and the burger was the size of a cheesburger. My strawberry shake was thick which was great, but the ice cream tasted freezer burnt like ice cream that had been in the freezer too long...but my fries were hot, seasoned and pretty good. I could have gone to five guys for what I got or red robin, paid less, got more and it would have been delicious....Sad read more

We were in the mood for a good vegan burger; alas, this was not the place to go! The bun was OK, as were the toppings, but the burgers were frozen patties (looked like Morningstar Farms, which is NOT vegan - has egg whites), and they were simply dropped into the deep fryer for a few seconds - hardly a tasty or healthy choice! The fries were decent, but they were frozen and not fresh cut. This meal was what you'd expect for less than half the price at a fast food joint, and we could see no reason to pay the higher prices for a mediocre meal. read more

Excellent food, good prices, fantastic shakes. Greatly underrated for some reason.

The buffalo burger I got today was one of the best I had in the past 10 years. The price is high but very good.

Great place to eat!!! My Wife and I had The Cheeeesy and Philly respectively. Both were fresh and made to order. I really enjoyed that they were willing to not make my burger well done, unlike Five Guys. I'm a big fan of spicy food and their Sriracha fries were awesome!! Overall this place is clean, the staff is friendly and the food was honestly really delicious. On a side note: I'm a volunteer Paramedic in the area and they offered me their Fire/Rescue/Police discount. Top notch place. Check it out!!!! read more

Went here twice because the best thing about Wayback burger isn't their burgers. It seems like it's everything else. I ordered specific burgers here, and they were all unseasoned and extremely flat. It was as if someone specifically pressed the two buns together to purposely "smush" the burger before I received it. When I tasted it, I was not impressed. On the bright side, their home made potato chips are great, along with their chicken strips. If I want a burger, I won't be coming here. But if I want a good shake, chicken strips or home made chips, this wouldn't be a bad idea. read more

Great burgers - just opened in Ashburn. Finally, a good place to get great burgers. Milkshakes, onion rings, hotdogs, and the triple burger on the menu; kids are going to love this place! read more

Wayback Burgers - Wayback Burger Kitchen - American Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Average at best, which isn't enough to make me go back when there are so many great burger joints in the area. We tried burgers and fries and I was really disappointed with all of it. The burger is a generic patty on a generic bun. I thought it was going to be a great diner style alternative to the gourmet burger trend that's running wild around NoVA these days. Needless to say, that was not the case. The burger was bland, the bun fell apart, the fries were blah, and the overall quality was lacking. Trying to be positive, the manager did come over and introduce himself and the staff was friendly. The need to step up their game if they want to make it in this burger saturated area. read more

Very slow and not that great food nor service. The only saving grace was the fries were really good but not going back for the Fries alone. Had the hot dog and can do much better at home for much less money and better service. Get your act together. read more

What a great find! Three key things here: Delicious, clean, and great service. It was our first time and one of the employees took the time to explain their menu. We ordered the philly cheeseburger and Alpine burger. YUM!! The best part are the patties, very flavorful with each bite. The fries were perfect too, crisp and salted outside with a soft inside. We also got onion rings which were tasty and made with real onions! We will be back for sure. We'll even bring the kid as it seems like a great family friendly place. read more
