    dat nasty ass food

    my family ordered way back burger on monday i had a kids meal (fries & chicken tenders). all of the food was cold and when i ate the chicken it was undercooked when i bit into the chicken it pulled apart like string cheese and the fries were overly salty to the point where i could barely finish the fries and not to mention my sprite was watered down. not shorty after eating this by tuesday i was sick from the food i was throwing and had the runs it was sickening to know how bad one fast food meal can mess u up dont eat here

    a piece of lettuce on a counter

    i found a whole bug in my salad couldn't have been more disgusted tbh, great service tho just not interested in being an entomophage

    First, the food is excellent. The burger is moister and tastier than Five Guys, and there are a number of specialty sandwiches to choose from. The menu is larger than Stratford with the full slate of options. Second, the staff is green. They only opened a few days ago, so the team is just getting to know each other and their procedures. They work hard and there are plenty of bodies working to keep up with orders. But there are still a number of bumps in the road. (They added chicken to my plain salad, then removed it by hand. Ick.) This is the area that I expect to improve quickly and thus my rating to improve. Third, the site is fairly tiny for the traffic they are getting. This is probably inevitable as Wayback Burger is primarily known for take-out traffic. But on a Sunday afternoon - not the busiest time - every inch of the customer area was filled with people ordering, eating, or waiting for their food. Not an issue if you order ahead, but be aware it will be cramped if you plan to order there or eat there. Overall, I am still a fan. And things will improve quickly as they iron out the problems with a mostly neophyte staff. By the way, the Planet Fitness next door has free Wifi, so you can stay connected while waiting for your food!

    Very clean place and the burgers were very very good -- and large! Fries are good. I'll definitely go back.

    We came here on a whim because wings sounded exactly like what we wanted. Honestly, we were torn…read morebetween two places, but as soon as I saw the fun, flavor-packed menu, I was sold. This was my first time here, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's a cute little dive bar tucked into the hillside. The parking situation wasn't great, but we found a small lot nearby, so it worked out perfectly. We were greeted right away and sat at the bar. I was surprised there was just a menu for the wings just two full pages--everything sounded so good that choosing was the hardest part. We ended up ordering three different flavors (six wings each). Caramel Soy (my pick): I knew this was going to hit, and it absolutely did. If you've ever had Korean fried chicken with a soy glaze, it had a very similar flavor profile:savory, slightly sweet, super addictive. The best part? It came with a fluffy dipping sauce. So fun. The wings were crispy and tender, easily my favorite of the night. Hot Garlic Butter (my girlfriend's pick): This one leaned more toward a classic buffalo-style sauce. Delicious, with chunks of garlic throughout. Not the most adventurous flavor, but exactly what we needed for a little spice. These wings were more heavily coated, so the skin wasn't quite as crispy, but the flavor held up. Solid 8-9/10. Cilantro Lime Tahini (our mutual pick): A bit out there for wings. I liked the flavor, but it felt better suited for a salad than chicken. Definitely our least favorite, but still not bad. 6.5/10. Overall, we'll be back--I want to try all the flavors!

    I ordered the Parmesan Butter Bacon Garlic Burger, which was good overall, but not exactly what I…read moreexpected. I thought the parmesan butter bacon garlic sauce would be more of a sauce, but it ended up being more of a spread. Still a solid burger, just different than what I had in mind. For wings, I got the peanut butter and jelly wings, which were served with fluff, and they were so good and so unique. Definitely something I've never had before and absolutely worth trying. My boyfriend ordered the blue cheesy bacon wings, which were good, although they seemed to have no bacon. He also tried the classic hot wings, which were solid as well. I really enjoyed the laid-back vibe here and would definitely come back to try more of their crazy wing flavors -- there are just so many to choose from.

There's a lot of good options on the menu, I ordered the cheese steak wrap with french fries. The wrap was good. It had good flavor. The only thing I would suggest is more meat.

I'm a big breakfast person and actually I get eggs for my dog as well but he is not as fussy as I am. I had one order I was not thrilled with but besides that one time dozens of other orders have been perfect. Try and find someplace with delivery that can come close to that. Over medium eggs are exactly that. Not over cooked and not over easy. Many places don't get that part. The bacon is high quality and always crispy not under cooked and rubbery as I have received from other restaurants . They are generous with home fries and hash browns which ever you choose as well as condiments. I have never been to the store so I cant speak to that but their food is fantastic.

I order dinner and they were out of the hanger steak. My boyfriend ordered and they were out of the paella. I ended up getting the chicken cutlet board. The chicken was very dry, it was like a fish fry batter, not what I think of when I hear "cutlet". Over cooked, salty. My boyfriend got the salmon. I tasted it at the end of the meal, I couldn't even believe he tried to eat it. It was very overcooked and so fishy. Also it said that his potatoes were Lyonnaise potatoes, Definitely not, they were thickly sliced, lacked seasoning, just a miss. Drink service was very slow, forgot a drink too. The waiter mentioned they're in between menus; i'm hoping my feedback can be helpful to the restaurant. Also it is my pet peeve when servers don't tell you upon seating you that they are out of an item. Being they were out of both of the entrées we wanted we may have chose to leave and come back another day and possibly have a more positive experience.

My daughter and I ordered the Hot Honey Wings for an appetizer, and my daughter had a Cheeseburger with French Fries, and I ordered the Meat Lovers Paella. I ordered the paella because I have always wanted to try it, but I don't eat seafood, so I'm glad they had a meat paella. If you're ordering the Pallea, it will take about thirty to thirty minutes, so I would order an appetizer. The wings came out, and they were good, and the sauce was good. My only problem is that many restaurants that make wings seem to miss the seasoning, and the wings were missing flavor. It was fried well, but it was missing flavor. I loved the Meat Lovers Paella, which was packed with flavor. The paella came out in a cast-iron pan, and the meats were cooked well. The steak was moist, full of flavor, and cooked well. The rice was full of flavor and delicious. The Paella had a rich flavor profile, with the prominent tastes of saffron and smoky paprika coming together to create a satisfying and aromatic experience. I would definitely be back for the Paella because the presentation was on point. The customer service was great as the waiter was friendly, outgoing, and very knowledgeable about the menu.

The restaurant is very clean and nice--not too overwhelming in terms of lighting and music. The food came fast. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing (to no fault of the waitress of course). We ordered the beef empanadas, the truffle burger, and the barnyard burger. The empanada crust was burnt and hard, with barely any actual filling. For $15, we were given 2 tiny empanadas. The truffle fries barely had any truffle flavor and the sweet potato fries were overdone. My truffle burger was soggy, with not enough bread and pretty much no flavor. Overall, overpriced for not very good food. The sink water was freezing cold. Maybe today was just a bad day for them, but I wouldn't come here again.
