We ordered delivery here to try them for the first time. Better than expected. It was easy ordering online. You can customize your burger with a bunch of free toppings or upgrade options like bacon or another burger.. Lots of fried sides available to go along with your order. They even have desserts, including milkshakes. The burgers were really good. I added jalapeño, chipotle, mayo, and onions to mine. I especially like how they layered the jalapeño at the bottom and other condiments at the top. It holds the extras in place instead of falling out. They even put the bacon in between both burgers which is a great idea. I will definitely be ordering here again or going into the store. read more

Decent place if you crave a fast food burger. I walked in on a whim and while they seemed very busy completing online orders, the guy behind the counter did manage to get my order done faster than expected. The bacon & cheese fries are generously loaded and the Bourbon Bacon Burger had a nice, subtle sweetness to it. read more

Wayback Burgers - SWEET BOURBON BACON BURGER and BACON CHEESE FRIES - American Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Way over priced had to ask for a bathroom key like I was at a bad gas station that was in the same shape, definitely not worth it! Will never go back!!! read more

Cross contamination. They use the same spatulas to smush down the raw meat as the do to flip it. Also one employee was in the back in a recliner lawn chair with a jacket covering them up and a hat over there face sleeping. Employee chose to wear one glove while cooking even tho he just took cash from me. Unclean place. read more

If y'all want good eats, go to this place! read more

Wayback Burgers - Cheesy burger w/onions - American Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

In the past they made a great burger,however my last two trips neither son or myself could finish our meal. I felt the burger was to greasy and just off, my son could not describe but said it tasted bad and only had a few bites. I HOPE THEY FIGURE THIS PROBLEM OUT.... read more

I was very hungry and in the mood for some Wayback food. I order the Steak and Cheesy grinder. I like some heat on my food so I ordered thinly sliced jalapeños on my grinder along with a large order of spicy potato tots and a large coke. I took my first bite of the grinder and man was I deeply disappointed. It was so bland. The only thing that I tasted was the jalapeños, cheese, and bread. And the tater tots were tasteless too. And it wasn't cheap either. I really believe I would have had a better and more affordable lunch somewhere else. Never Again! Sorry I have no picks. I don't think I shall return. And that's all folks. read more

amazing burgers!! extremely clean, outstanding burgers, kind employees very polite. great experience i would definitely recommend.

Good food and service, but could be a 5 star with better food. Burger was dry. The dude needs to STOP SQUEEZING THE JUICES OUT OF THE BURGERS! Dude was constantly squashing the patties with the spatula. It is well known that you NEVER press on the burger. NEVER. After it is squashed to burger size and shape, NEVER press on it again. NEVER. read more

Three stars overall here's how I came to my rating. The atmosphere and location are great for a burger joint. Bright clean and shiny new. Fast and simple menu and ordering process. Friendly staff with lots of enthusiasm. The burger was better than the mega joints. They have a stacking process here and the bun is built for multi patty monster burgers. I got a double Chipotle burger but I had to check to see if it was a double. The burger was loose meat, it sort of cheapened the double patty deal. The meat was lost in the hefty bun. That is not to say it wasn't good, it was tasty and moist to the last bite and I was satisfied. I was expecting being full to the point of barely finishing based on the glamor burger shots all over the place. Sadly just like the big chains what you get ain't what you see. The price point seemed a bit high my meal was just north of $10 bucks. My last point was the kiss of death, the young lady owner partner with her sisters walked out the front door and came back in with a pizza. Don't let patrons see you bring other people's food into your restaurant. Maybe I'm being judgmental and nobody can live on burgers day in and out but it saps my confidence in your place if the owner brings in food from elsewhere. Next time use the back door. At least she didn't eat in the dining room. So please eat here but be aware of the fall apart burgers and high prices. read more

Wayback Burgers - Chipotle burger. It's in there somewhere. - American Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

I can't believe I didn't know this place existed until a month ago. This is now my favorite fast food place. Burger, shakes, and fries are miles ahead of any other fast food place. If you want a quick burger that is also delicious this is the place to go. read more

Delicious veggie burger and Fries! Good service and nice quant place! Wish that the bun was less flimsy and more stiff read more

Not too good and I was really in the mood for a burger. Burger bun was soggy on bottom and the flavor wasn't very good. If this is how burgers tasted "wayback" then I am glad people have perfected this craft. I went with the homemade chips as my side and they were poor too. Super salty and the dipping sauce was bland. Not the worst thing I have ever eaten but when I finished eating I was disappointed greatly. read more

First time visiting, great customer service!! Store is clean! We ordered chicken sandwich, buffalo sandwich and Turkey burgers. They were delicious!!! Will definitely come back again! read more

Could we finally see some competition with Five Guys for best fast foodish burger in the Danbury area? It's possible. I've always seen Wayback locations around the state, but never had the motivation to go out of my way to stop in, especially when I'm already heading to a different restaurant. The location in Danbury is fairly new, so I figured this was my shot to see if it's worth it. Very clean restaurant. I noticed that right when I walked in with my coworkers. Wayback is a pretty good sized place for the crowd they cater to, sort of along the lines of how large Five Guys is. They serve burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, different sides (like fries, onion rings, house made chips, etc), and milkshakes. I came for a burger since that's all I've heard about, and since the place is called Wayback Burgers. It's the smart thing to do, right? I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger and got the combo as well, which I also chose onion rings and a small fountain drink. $14 is very steep, VERY steep. I'm pretty sure I even said "Whoa" when the cashier said it out loud. Here's to hoping my meal was $14 worth. We all ordered, got our drinks, and sat down at a table. There was only one other family there eating besides us and we still ended up waiting about 15-20 minutes for our food to come out. Also, there were only three people working the line, which is a bit crazy when Wayback can sort of be considered fast food. Besides the wait, the food was pretty solid. The onion rings came out crispy and delicious. My burger was cooked great as well, just a bit messy, but hey, it's a burger, you kind of expect it. We also got complementary house made chips which would've been way more delicious if they weren't doused in salt. Not a bad place, but I don't know if I could happily dish out $14 again for that meal. Aside from the price and wait, the food was solid. read more

The Danbury location definitely needs some improvement. The food is definitely good, less greasy than 5 Guys! However the service is not good... even after being open a few months. Took almost 30 minutes for our food to come out, and it wasn't very warm. Even the milkshakes took over 10 minutes. It's pretty loud inside with the music playing, so the long wait was not even enjoyable. I liked the food, so I recommended a friend to try it and they messed up all 3 of his orders. Definitely need more training on the staff front. read more

This location does not meet the online timing that they give when you order. Terrible, terrible, terrible!!! Don't bother with this place, go to Five Guys!!!! read more

Fresh burgers milkshakes made out of real ice cream. Great fast food ready to order sit down and they're nice dining room area clean, Good atmosphere. Best of luck. read more

Amazing burger. The potato fries things were good. Restaurant was clean. Not sure why this place has bad reviews but I'm giving it 5 stars because I would love to come back again and again. read more

Very bad experience. My first time to the restaurant. I started by standing at the counter for 5 minutes while the counter girl didn't even acknowledge me. I then asked about the size of the salads since this was my first time. No help given. No attempt to show me any size, not even with hand gestures. I won't be back. read more

bad service and apart from that they changed my order and they didn't even give me cheese, he went to complain and they didn't help me at all read more

Wayback Burgers - American Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Horrible experience from beginning to end! Wrong order,lacked instructions and concerns about food allergy concerns for my child. Failed to fulfill full order waited several mins and showed no concern for fulfilling my order on items I payed for and they neglected to give. Served our beverages to the wrong table and left us waiting and when we asked they looked at me like I had three heads instead of promptly fixing there mistake. Should have atleast comped our order but instead too busy talking amongst themselves and ignoring customers in line. Never again! Very unprofessional and a disgrace. Wish no stars was an option! read more

Pretty disappointed in the last visit.. it took Nearly 25 minutes just to get a milk shake and that was after waiting in line for 6 minutes behind 1 person to order. The person in front of me had to leave and come back because their order took so slow. read more

Great food great price. I've been enjoying this location regularly through the COVID pandemic and their hospitality and service has been top notch. Food is great and I'm mad at myself for taking so long to give this place a chance. The Chicken sandwich is delicious. Not the prettiest looking fried chicken sandwich but it's sinfully delicious!!!!!!! read more

Ordered $80 worth of food through Grub Hub and it took forever to get delivered. I was ordering food for my employees because we were all working on the 4th of July. When the order finally came we were missing a burger and a milkshake. Of course it was my burger that was missing. We called to try to get my burger and milkshake that was forgotten and the person who answered the phone was very unapologetic and basically didn't care that the person that just paid $80 to their restaurant didn't even get to eat. Thank goodness my boyfriend went to McDonald's for me and got me a cheese burger from there. No more Way Back Burgers for me. read more

Usually great place to eat, but lately it's been under staffed by people who look overworked and underpaid. Hope they improve.

This business looks like a classic case of an absentee owner. This last visit was our last. The characters behind the counter were nothing short of ghetto. I literally told my son to hurry and eat so we could get out of there. Owner obviously doesn't give a flying hoot about his investment. read more

Customizable burgers for those who are very particular. I like the more "family" vibe VS. other similar businesses in the burger industry. The cashier was kind, courteous, and offered suggestions as I was a first timer. She was so sweet! Food was tasty and I got the waffle fries. Wow those fries are great. Thank you :) read more

Went there today. First and last time. I was the only customer online. Except for a smile from the grill person,no one acknowledged me at all. Stood there for ten minutes while the counter person who never looked up nor acknowledged me in anyway was on the phone taking an order. When she started to repeat the order for probably the sixth time I left. I won't be back nor will my family of six. I would have given a zero Star of it was an option read more

Great burgers and fries and macaroni and cheese bites. The manager and staff couldn't be nicer

I just love the chicken sandwich and fries with my fav vanilla shake. My fav place for lunch with free coffee and good oldies on. I enjoy every minute spent. read more

Average burgers, great shakes, good onion rings, horrible bland fries. Order took way too long and came out wrong. May try another one elsewhere but they have a lot of work to do on the Danbury location. Worst of all, we had to listen to that horrible music for the hour we were there. read more

I've been going to way back burgers for a while now, and im calling it quits. I ordered a meal for a family of 4. Nothing difficult, 2 burgers, a chicken sandwich, and 3 dogs. They didn't give me the chicken sandwich, luckily I caught that before I left. When they finally gave it to me after 10 min of me talking too them and showing them my food, which made it very cold! They made it, and gave it to me. But ended up making another chicken sandwich. They then started arguing about who was going to eat the extra chicken sandwich like a bunch of animals! But I needed to talk to the manager like she was a child! I had to unwrap every burger and lift the bun up too show her what was in the foil. Ridiculous! My hot dogs I ordered were absolutely disgusting. I asked for ketchup, mustard, relish and a little bit of raw onions. It looked like they dumped an entire container of relish on my dogs and called it a day. I ended up throwing them out and I ate hot pockets!! The whole experience was really bad. I won't be going back! I had a friend who worked there for a month and she quit.i now see why! Stay away from this dumpster of an eating establishment! read more

Talk about a disappointment.... I ordered the classic burger with the loaded tater tots as a side. My burger patties were way over cooked and tough, and my taters tots were ice cold and still frozen in the middle. Not to mention I ordered and paid for a full size side and they gave me a small. All in all I paid $12 for a rock hard hamburger and frozen tater tots. You have been warned everyone. read more

While the food is generally good, you will end up waiting a long time for your food. They are consistently understaffed and your wait with any rush (e.g. dinner time) is unacceptable. I just placed a call in order for 3 burgers at 6:45 and I took 30 minutes. Only about 6-8 other customers in the place. Don't go here if you are in any kind of hurry... read more

Prediction: this business in danbury will he closed within 6 months. Amazing how a corporate restaurant -chain can be so different by location. No wonder the danbury store is failing and social community recommending NOT to go there. . Horrible service, Horrific manager, mediocre food, wait tomes astronomical, yet restaurant dead. Why would a company pay for such prime real estate in danbury and not invest in caring for their brand? In service? In quality? In owner? You want a good burger, go to IM, five guys, or drive to wayback in Wilton. read more

Freshly fried thick cut chips are flippin phenomenal. So yummy. Thought it was slightly pricey, as patties aren't super thick, but everything tested fresh and yummy. Burger was juicy. Could have used a little more salt and pepper but that's a personal preference. Got the philly. Overall great job. Will be stopping in again! read more
