    a plastic cup on a table
    Shawn R.

    Felt like trying a new burger place, so me and a few coworkers decided to hit up Griesbach. The inside looks spacious, crisp and clean, which it should since it's brand new build. The menu is a decent size. They have chicken and veggie options. Free refills on fountain drinks. The food came out fresh out of the fryer. Good size and presentation. The service lady was a bit slow, but nice enough. Stars were deducted because I had asked for lettuce and onions and got neither on the sandwich. Secondly, I asked for the homemade cut chips and they gave me fries. It was not busy, so not sure what the excuse was for the error.

    They don't have hand cut fries but their burger is pretty good for the price. Their classic burger from the signature menu is a double patty with American cheese topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, and mustard. The patties were a bit small but the beef was pretty good. The bun was pretty standard and held everything together. The fries are processed, frozen, then deep fried to order and they were okay. I really expect good burger joints to had hand cut double fried real fries but maybe that standard is unrealistic for a burger chain. We got a side of gravy and it was quite thick, small portion, and tasted very processed. They have a classic milkshake maker so they weren't bad but a good milkshake is all about the ratio of milk to ice cream. The venue looks pretty nice, a few big booths, some high tops and a window to look into the open concept kitchen. This location has huge windows that allow lots of natural light in. They do have a bit of competition since they are on Griesbach restaurant row with a ton of other options but I think they will carve out their niche since there isn't really another good burger joint close by.

    Saw an add on Facebook that offered buy one get one burger free. It was for the new jasper location but the northside location honors it as well. Some street parking for the strip-mall stores but I can see it being hard to find parking during busy times. At 7PM on a Sunday there were a few open spots and the restaurant was 10% full but had several takeout orders while we were there. 2 gender-specific bathrooms but I think there is only 1 toilet per room so it could be used as gender-neutral as needed. I got the Rodeo burger and added the 'chips + reg drink" combo and then for $2.99 upgraded the drink to a milkshake. Boyfriend got the featured October Oktoberfest burger. Oreo mint milkshake was great. Good creamy taste, didn't melt too fast, not too strong mint taste. 9/10 would get again. Chips were perfectly cooked but super greasy (as excepted). Needed more salt. Pretty bland - needed a creamy dip. Boyfriends burger had bigger onion rings than mine so that was disappointing in the presentation. Burger was good. Patty was extremely fresh and juicy (dripping grease). Bun was soft, onion rings were great just very small. SOOO cheap with the BBQ sauce (as you can see from the picture) - not at all as advertised 9 dripping with sauce). Overall 7/10. Good but could be better. Lots of seating inside the restaurant from booths to tables to bar stools. Overall a good fast food burger made fresh.

    Milkshakes were made fresh; food too The onion rings I HIGHLY recommend Make this a stop if you are in North Edmonton

    Single Combo with Onion Rings and Strawberry Banana shake. ~$16

    Wayback Burgers is a nice addition to the area but the food was not as good as I expected. I ordered online which was easy and fast. My food was ready for pick up in about 10 minutes. The milkshake was made when I arrived so it was cold, thick and full of flavour. I would recommend trying the shake although I've had better shakes elsewhere (Red Robin, Fatburger, etc). The shake was the best part of the combo order. You read that right. I wasn't that impressed overall. The combo includes a burger, side and drink with the discount being some savings on the drink. In addition to the strawberry banana shake, I ordered a single patty burger with pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, pickle, onion, fried onion, mushrooms, mayo and Wayback Gold Sauce. It was messy but not a bad messy. Probably could have done with either the mayo or the gold sauce rather than both. If I go again, I would probably try a different sauce all together. Mushrooms seemed canned rather than fresh so I would skip those next time. The bun was fine. The meat was fine. The cheese was fine and so forth. There are better fast food burgers out there but I would order it again and try other toppings before ever ordering onion rings again. You read that right. The onion rings were just gross. A gooey interior mixed with a smooth, unappealing exterior easily made these the weakest element. Mushy, oily and bland are not want I want in an onion ring. Note: Giving this location a 3 out of 5 is being a little generous. 2.5 is more accurate but, as I feel I could try them again, 2 is too low. 3/5 it is.

    Ordered 2 hamburgers through a 3rd party app. There were 2 options to add mushrooms...one was free, the other was a $0.75 charge. I selected both options on both burgers, when they came, one had 4 mushrooms on it, the other had 3.....yes, 3. The pickles were even larger in size....and on top of that, they were just plain, out of the can mushrooms...pretty sad....

    Philly Cheesesteak served on a cold bun. Why is this even on the menu?
    Dennis T.

    First impressions aren't that great. I ordered the cheesesteak and when it arrived at my table it was served on a cold bun and unseasoned meat, a stingy portion of sliced beef and onions. I approached the manager and he didn't seem to care about the quality of the food, he just insisted that is how it's prepared. He also wanted to charge me full price for a refill on their fountain sodas because of covid. Dork! Most places will just give you a new cup and straw. The cook was nice I appreciated him coming out to talk about my disappointment, he did more than the manager did. For $17 I felt pretty ripped off and the only thing the manager offered was sorry. Well, their first impression is not good at all. There are so many other good burger places but the poor quality and the manager's response, why would customers come back, I know I would not.

A little too much for 1 person post-meal but great size to share and available for takeout too. Milkshake: 10/10 so authentic, creamy, coffee flavor wasn't very strong. Loved that you could see them use the cool milkshake cups, add soft serve, blend.

Burgers are made fresh and smashed just right, not too thin that they crumble at the edges or fall apart in the bun. All burgers are two patty minimum. The most basic burger costs $12, and comes with cheese and a ton of fresh veggie and traditional toppings. A burger combo is $17 and includes a drink. Upgrade to a poutine or a milkshake for a couple of bucks. Their fries are really good, chunky and made fresh. Haven't tried the milkshakes. Proper old-school burger joint food. Compare with fast food and other small local burger places. A quarter pounder at McD's costs $8 these days, crazy. At places like Woodshed or Foxburger, you can't get just a burger, and prices start at $14 (single patty no cheese) or even $20. Drinks are extra. I love these local burger places too, but the burger quality is similar in my opinion, and I really like the style of burger served here. Let's Smash has the Goldilocks "just right" kind of smash, the burger buns hold up to the contents, and the toppings are fresh and flavourful though not as fancy as other places. One time though, I had a burger here that was topped with gyro toppings, specifically the pickled veggies, and it was delicious. We always sit in, there's plenty of seating space, and usually some soccer or European music contests on the TV at a low volume. Service is efficient, order at the counter and have a seat. No alcohol service means less trouble, which is nice for lunch or early supper on Jasper Ave. We generally get friendly service and have never felt forgotten or neglected for the steady stream of delivery drivers.

    Delicious burger! Served with fries. Was prepared in 7 minutes. The ambiance is pop music.read more

But we have 2 kids and 2 adults so it worked out for us! The kids menu items are a hot dog, a cheeseburger or Mac and cheese. All the portions for the kids looked really big which I appreciated. My boys are eaters and it was nice to see that they got just as many French fries on their plate as an adult portion. And PS the garlic fries are amazing!!! I'm so happy we got 3 orders of the garlic fries and I was curious and tried the animal fries as well- they were different...tasty but definitely a unique taste. The closest I can describe it is cheese wiz and mustard and caramelized onions. Very potent, I saw they have an Animal burger which probably uses that same mixture combo. Animal fries cost an extra $4 so for the extra cost I would probably just go with the garlic fries every time because they don't have an extra cost. I ordered the most popular Bacon Pepper Smash ($21 single $25 double) and really enjoyed the flavor and the price was on point. Smash sauce, pickled peppers, bacon, American cheddar, iceberg. The single was definitely enough for myself but with the thinner patties I could see why some people order the double. Hubby had the Inferno ($21 single $25 double) Inferno sauce, pickled peppers, crispy fried onions, American Swiss, iceberg. The sauce was spicy! Good but spicy! And it kind of overpowered the whole thing. Parking down the side street was a bit of a walk but not terrible and right beside this place is a cool looking liquor store and Kind Ice Cream across the road. The space itself was pretty big and we felt like we weren't too smushed up on booth next to the next table. Bathrooms are downstairs, mind your head! And there was a baby change table in the women's bathroom.
