I recommend there also a mobil gas station connect so u can also pump gas two in one can beat it read more

They legit cook the meat here so be prepared to wait longer for your food to be ready. You can actually see the process too. That said, I'm not complaining because it tasted amazing! Like a real burger. I'd recommend the buffalo chicken burger. Friendly staff to boot! Their ranch is homemade and delicious. read more

Great service and staff! The buffalo chicken sandwich was reasonably good and was hot and quick. The cheese fries were tasty.

What an incredible find! We were so excited to happen across this place at lunchtime while we were on a road trip across California. Two of us eat gluten free and they have a dedicated fryer for fries AND their sauces are gluten free. They also have burgers in a lettuce wrap as an option. Their food baskets are metal and their to go boxes are paper. No plastic or styrofoam. Score one for the environment! AND their customer service was outstanding. Nice job Wayback Burger, you are two thumbs way up in my book! read more

Can't expect much from fast food restaurant near freeway, but this one was really bad. Food is heartburn and without taste.

Just an average fast food place. I got the double bacon cheeseburger amd onuon rings. They use a lot of mustard on theur burgers and their bacon is thin and soggy. Their onion rings aren't as good as Habit Burgers. $0.50 for dipping sauces. read more

First time trying this place . There food is fresh good customer service. There burgers are sooooooo good . I wish there was one in my area

This place looks promising, however it was disgusting and a complete waste of $35. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich that looked nothing like the picture on the board. When did buffalo Sauce become pink???? The chicken had a rubbery texture that was gross. I had one bite and threw it away. My husband had the rodeo burger.... it looked like they had not completely formed a burger, it was crumbles of meat. He had two bites and couldn't stand the way it looked. My daughters had the Mak n cheese bites and chicken tenders both items were inedible. The chicken was stringy and not good. My kids wouldn't even eat either one after the first bite. The only thing that was not thrown in the trash was the 2 shakes my kids got. Yuck!!!! read more

I live nearby and I hadn't been to panoche for a couple year's it surprised me to see this new burger place so I had to try it out and let me tell you it was amazing the staff were so friendly and helpful the place was very clean and if you are traveling with kids they will enjoy a movie as they eat I asked the cashier what would be nice to try and he sed to try out the oreo mud pie shake it was fantastic I love it it's now my favorite and the chicken tenders are amazing and there buffalo chicken sandwiches are delicious it's a real chicken breast not those grinded patties I loved all the suggestions that the cashier named IVAN he was really nice and friendly super helpful he served me with a big smile when you go make sure to ask for IVAN he will always Great and serve you with a smile read more

Clean environment, delicious food and great service. Do not let it being connected to a gas station stop you from coming in. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Overpriced burgers that really live by their title "Way back burgers"the meat tasted like they went reallyyyy wayyyyyy back when they were purchased and left in the freezer. I was on my way to SF and decided to stop at this place because the only other thing around was McDonalds or Taco Bell. I thought what the heck they advertise old fashion burgers, they can't taste worse than my other 2 options. Big mistake!! I could watch that guy making my burger and let me tell you, they looked delicious from where I was looking. I got on the road and the first bite I took... was AWFUL! The meat tastes like it's been dead for 40 years. Unfortunately, I paid close to $30 for myself and my daughter's meal and there was nothing else on the road for 40 miles. The bun, nice crispy lettuce and delicious tomato could not hide the fact that the meat is of poor quality. I recommended that if you're planning on stopping by, you stop at the AMPM and get stacks unless you're into eating Mckeys or TB. Don't spend a dime here! The milkshake could not even erase the taste in my mouth. Good luck not getting sick if you eat there!! read more

food was OK. Burger was little dry for my taste but I am sure they have other items in the menu to try

Too expensive 15 dollar for burger and few onion ring this place is a robber they will rob ur wallet I won't recommend this shit place sorry but is true yes I fresh meat but way too small not enough to fill u up. read more

Hidden gem. New favorite on I5. MD is packed with people eating trash across the street. Sorry for them

had the rodeo burger, fries and choc. shake. rodeo and fries were hot and the shake was thick. clean place, and they didn't start order til it was placed. couple minutes longer than mcdonalds, but worth it. a good place to stop along i-5. read more

slightly better than your average fast food, which was a nice surprise. we had buffalo chicken burgers, fries and a milkshake and were not disappointed. there is a lot of outdoor seating! read more

Waited an hour for my food and couldn't take it anymore and just got a refund. Cook moved around super slow. Pathetic!

Was traveling back home to LA not many options along I-5 that offer fresh food. Never heard of Wayback, saw this place on yelp and read many good reviews so I decided to give this place a try. Here's my experience: 1) Dining: Never being here before I didn't know what to expect like many and I was not disappointed. They have a very clean dining area and the soda machine area is well stocked. They also have outdoor seating which is really nice if you have pets or just want to enjoy eating outside. 2) Food: I have no words for how amazing there food is!! They have fresh patties that are pressed on the grill that is so cool! I ordered the rodeo burger which was juicy and very flavorful and with it I had French fries. The fries were also very very amazing they were not soggy but had a really nice crunch! I also ordered Cookies and cream milkshake which did not disappoint love the fact that they are hand dipped. There was about a 20 min wait but it is definitely worth it knowing you are getting fresh food! 3) Staff: The staff was very nice and welcoming the lady at the cash register was very patient with us and explained the menu well! Thank you!! They also bring your food to your table if you dine in which was nice of them! 4) Overall: This place is definitely my place to stop after a long drive to SoCal! My family and I absolutely were blown away about how amazing this place is!! It's like an oasis in the middle of nowhere and I appreciate there approach to offering fresh food along the highway! Definitely recommend to give this place a try! Thank you Wayback for an awesome dining experience! 1/1/18 read more

Everyone has their own tastes but not only was this business super unorganized, but the burgers were bland and the price tag of a sit down service restaurant. Staff was not familiar with the product and violating a few health codes to boot. Would have rather gone to McDonald's. read more

Stopped by here on my way back to the Bay Area from LA, my friend and I were starving but didn't want the usual fast food you get when you are driving down 5, so we thought we'd give this place a try. We weren't expecting much judging from the area we were in (middle of nowhere) but not were we fooled. This place is AMAZING. We got the Philly cheesesteak, and it was hands down one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. It was beyond juicy and the meat was seasoned to perfection. I also wanted to try a side of fries, and they were perfectly crispy. The staff was very welcoming and the manager kept checking up on us and was holding great conversations with everyone who came in to eat. This will now be my go to spot next time I drive down to Los Angeles. Highly recommend it!! read more

Good place to stop! Way better then Mc Donald's or fosters freeze. Food was fresh, fast, and tasted good. The kids chicken strips weren't a hit at all, and they really put WAY too much ketchup and mustard on(I had to scrape it off), but aside from that we would stop again when driving the 5. Milkshakes were really good! read more

Convenient location but that's about it. Pretty overpriced for the amount and quality of food you get. I got the onion rings and they were pretty gross, with too much onion and a really thing greasy fried layer. The chocolate shake had an aftertaste that kind of tasted like the smell of a Sharpie. The burger was not very good either. I actually feel a little sick now. read more

I get it. Its side of the highway food with not a whole lot of options hence the two stars and not one. Service was slow, overpriced and food felt old and stale. Not a whole lot of options so good luck read more

Yumm! Best "fast food" on Hwy 5 with home made shakes, fresh hamburger meat (not frozen) and great fries. Staff is friendly and helpful. Dine in experience, not drive thru. Clean & stylish interior, don't be fooled by it being located in the same building as the Mobil station. Will definitely be here again! read more

Great place and good food, but sadly very understaffed. Food took long, missed items and forgot the milkshakes. They didn't turn on the TVs which were paused despite repeated asks. soda machine wasn't working right, but they fixed after 15 mins or so. read more

best bueger ive ate in the state of california. they sholuld have more locations in california. i ate the tripple chese burger. an inhave no complaints abiut it. read more

My friends and I stopped here after we didn't want to wait at Denny's. What a great find! The burgers --beef, turkey, and veggie--were all very good. The french fries and the homemade potatoes were excellent. We gorged ourselves on shakes and drove away happy. Also the staff was extremely helpful and nice. Don't hesitate to go here. read more

Delicious burgers and shakes for a reasonable price. We laughed at all the people heading like sheep for the long line at McDonald's. Wayback was a way better choice. read more

Just opened 3 weeks ago they said. Delicious cheeseburgers (never frozen), crispy fresh fries (with malt vinegar), very creamy strawberry milkshake (610 colors for a junior!), and very clean! Much better than usual rest stop food, so glad to have found this on Yelp along the way. read more

Food was hot and delicious! Husband loved the patty melt and my turkey burger was awesome!

Best option in the area for tasty but not greasy burgers and fries, with salad and chicken alternatives too. Great staff as others have noted...they just opened yesterday but they already have it All Together. read more

We were on our way back to San Francisco on a road trip and met the most wonderful man at Wayback Burgers. Not only did he help us out with gas money, we were short, but he also helped us buy two delicious burgers. Javid really helped us out, and the food was super yummy! I definitely recommend these burgers! read more

The burgers are decent. I got the cheeeesy burger its like a grilled cheese with 2 good Meaty patties...unfortunately The fries taste like the oil needs to changed. I didn't like them. read more

We have been by this place so many times. We finally decided to wait the 20 min for it to open. I wish we hadn't. I got the philly cheese sandwich. The cheese was cold and there was approximately 1/2 a cup of meat mixed with onions on it. More of my bread was bare than there was anything else. Very disappointing compared to how awesome the pictures are. Definitely not worth coming to. Also there was something sticky everywhere and they had just opened. read more

OMG! it's finally open!.. I absolutely loved how professional and polite the employees were and to top that, yummmy FOOD!!! I ordered my favorite Rodeo Burger! which by the way when I ate.. it was like "party in my mouth" with crispy chips- btw very hard to find anywhere else. this place definitely TOPS all in my lists of favorites..I am definitely going again! Great ambiance and mouth-watering food! with decent prices... who would miss that! read more

Highly disorganized, burgers were cold (boo) by the time we got them. Shake machine was broken. Wrong cheese on one burger. Taste was ok. Bored with in n out, but it would have been better. read more
