    This is a very nice and clean establishment. The workers are so kind. The food is amazing and the chocolate brownie shake was incredible. You come in wanting a burger and you leave with a full stomach and leftovers because they give you so much food for an incredible price. If only there were more stars. 11/10

    Look since BK got rid of their garden burger - I have been on the hunt for it somewhere. I have found that somewhere! The burger had good flavor, the toppings were fresh, and the service was quick. For my garden burger, I got the following as toppings: cheddar cheese Pickles Mayo Lettuce Tomato Grilled Onions We also got a kid's meal burger, which comes with fries and a drink. The toppings for this burger were: Cheddar Cheese Slaw Grilled Onions Mayo The fries were fresh and hot. On the thicker side, but so good. We also ordered the Carolina Burger, Classic Burger, Bacon Fries, and Oreo cookie milkshake. These were ordered as they come without any changes - sooooooo good!

    We came 2 1/2 hours to Morrisville for our son's doctor appointment. First time in Morrosville and we were all ready for lunch. I asked Siri to find closest burgers near me. After eliminating the junk like McDs, Burger King, etc, Jakes Wayback Burgers was the first off the beaten path burger joint. We took a gamble and man oh man did we win!!! The staff was super friendly, the restaurant was super clean and the burgers were extremely fresh and delicious!! We have to come back in 3 months for another check up and will definitely be eating lunch here, again.

    Wayback rocks. Just when you think their burgers are phenomenal, wait until you try one of their milkshakes. Over the weekend, the family and I craved a burger nearby and Wayback always enters our mind first. This visit included the Big Way (the fancy Big Mac version) and an Oreo Milkshake made with hand-dipped ice cream. Listen, all of their burgers kick ass and this Big Way is the same but my fave is still the Cheesy! The milkshake? It was completely gone within 5 minutes. It's THAT good and could be very addictive. Wayback rocks. It's that simple.

    Great customer service and a little less crowded than other places in the area. Decent amount of outdoor seating and a good place to get a burger and shake when you're in the area!

    Wayback steps into the ring and goes toe to toe with the best of burger spots and might even be the most tasty! The restaurant itself is bland so don't look for much in that area, but the food shines and leaves you wanting more, so be prepared to spend some money! The fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned and the burger was as juicy and flavorful as they come. Definitely a place to try and try again......

    Order at the counter and find a seat!

The employees were friendly and helpful. And I feel like everything was priced well and appropriately. The not so good: The meat was just meh and the onions were straight up burnt. Not caramelized, burnt. Overall, the burger was decent, just not great like we were hoping. We sat at our table for quite some time and had a few drinks. It was busy but never too crowded. There was a line but it moved quickly. I would reccommend this place to grab a quick bite before a DPAC show!

    I've been hearing about this Bull City Burger spot for over two months, (noted for their tasty…read moregrass-fed beef) and in watching the reviews -- I figured that the experience should be very pleasant; to the eyes and the palate. I was hoping I would not be disappointed. Downtown Durham on Parrish Street I do believe. I went there midday and there was a sparse lunch crowd already seated when I arrived. The warmly lit space presents nice aesthetic as you walk into the restaurant. A very chill and comfortable atmosphere. I love the bar and the mirrored wall nestled behind it. The spot is pretty laidback and very clean, but has a bit of a rustic nuance to it as well. I like that. The serving staff were extremely nice and helpful towards advising me in making my selection -- with me being a first-timer and all. I kept it simple...I chose the Classic Burger (pink) with pepper jack cheese, bacon marmalade, and as a side, I had to go with the Dirty Fries -- 'cause that's how I roll y'all. About the food: I have to say, the burger was staunchly built and crafted with artistry. Nice and tall with a seriously tasty bun encapsulating everything. Perfectly well-seasoned meat and the first bite was simply delightful. I noticed as I got towards the center of the meat, it was bit less juicy than the surrounding parts of the burger, but nevertheless still tasty. My Dirty Fries were delicious In the end; the experience as a whole was quite delightful and I would definitely like to go there again -- perhaps try a different burger to expand upon my experience with this place. Gotta try out That Bar y'all! I do recommend it for those who haven't had a chance to go by there to check it out.

The interior is…read morenice and vibrant, with a perfect mix of minimalist and maximalist designs in the building (especially with the brewery apparatus being visible--which is awesome!!). Even before me an my party entered we could hear music playing from the building, which kept the vibes up! Moving onto the food, a certain menu item caught my eye. Something that I'm legally obligated to keep quiet about... but let tell you- this burger was Gooood. This "Signature Secret Burger" was rather unique, as it was like you took a pretty simple egg burger, and just ramped it up. My initial thought when I first tried it was that it was a burger squared, the mystery ingredients amplified the flavor to make such a savory meal. It wasn't to overbearing like many other burger places that I've visited, not immediately making me feel fat and full after taking a few bites. Our party also ordered a whole quart of fries, and they were SO GOOD!!! I'm a sucker for good fries, and you knocked this out of the park! Your fry soft was nice and mellow and complimented the fries perfectly. (And even afterwards, the fries warmed up really well and were still Really freakin' good!) Finally, during my visit, their anniversary event (Happy 15th By The Way ) and they were offering FREE DESSERT for someone who happened to sit in a randomly chosen seat. And by the luck of the gods my little brother found his way onto the seat! It was just really awesome to see a restaurant doing such awesome things for their birthday, y'don't see that every day! Overall, this place is definitely a place to stop by if you're in Durham. If you're in the area visit IMMEDIATELY if you love good fun food!

Burgers: I had the goutmet burger with truffle fries. The burger was overcooked (well done) and the rosemary aoili was off.. We had a show to catch so I did not send the burger back, but I think it would have been way better had it been cooked to the temperature I requested and if I had asked for the rosemary aoili to be omitted.

The chicken was good, along with the spicy sauce but the plate felt empty. The steak was barely edible and mostly fat. The arugula salad it came with wasn't good either. Luckily the rosemary fries were very tasty. Overall, we will not be back for the "new and improved" menu. The service didn't help, as they were understaffed.
