    The CLASSIC
    Aliza W.

    So I tried this burger restaurant today. It was really good and I was pleasantly surprised. The menu was easy to read and pretty straight forward. I usually can't have cheese but the cheese on the burger didn't bother my stomach at all, all the ingredients blend together really good. Usually you can taste the ingredients separately however with this burger everything blends together. The cheese on the fries was pretty decent however it was more like a cheese wiz. One thing I did like the cheese was gooey instead of solid. That is usually my problem with cheese fries the cheese is solid. So that was a plus. I will definitely be making my "way back" lol. If you caught that. For more food content @worthydishes on instagram.

    Food: 5 Customer Service: 5 Location/ Parking: 5 Cleanliness: 5 This restaurant is situated in a small shopping plaza so there is no issues with parking. I've been meaning to trying this burger joint for a while, because I've noticed that they had good Google reviews. So we tried them tonight for dinner and we ordered the cheese steak sandwich ($9.50), the create your own burger ($10.25), and a large fry ($3.99). We placed an online order and went inside to pickup our order. Upon entering I was greeted by a very friendly and professional staff member. Our order wasn't ready when I arrived so I had to wait a little while. But our food came out hot and was well seasoned and plentiful. I was really impressed with the freshness of the food, yes indeed I will return! In my opinion the food was reasonable priced. Our overall dining experience was fabulous and I'm sure that we will be back in near future.  I'd highly recommend this restaurant to all!!!

    Greasy ass burger

    Waaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too overpriced for these little ass patties. Seriously they are a place that is too pretentious & don't live up to the prices. Came in with the fam & it was 4 of us. Granddaughter got a kids meal. Burgers & fries for myself & the SIL, hot dog & fries. $70 bucks!! Then to top it off my shake was runny & burger greasy af! See the pic. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME & money.

    We stopped in for a quick bite around 6:30 pm. Only a few diners inside. After ordering a classic burger and a cheese steak we waited for about 10 minutes before our food arrived. My wife enjoyed her burger. I got one bite. The beef had some flavor and was not dry or over cooked. My cheese steak was flavorful, not too salty. The bun was okay, soft and a bit chewy. Inside the bun, there was a generous amount of meat, sautéed onions, and just the right amount of whiz! For an inexpensive, casual meal, Wayback hits the spot!

    Not busy. We were only the second group of customers in the place. Got the order wrong. Completely missed an entire meal (paid for it just didn't serve it). Took 20 minutes to get the meal they missed. Fried sides were all under cooked and served cold (tater tots, home fries and French fries). The sandwiches were average. Way to expensive for what you get. Not a good value in food, customer service or atmosphere. Save your money and go somewhere else. Plenty of better options in Lexington. If you are the franchise owner reading this you are going to be gone soon like other overpriced burger joints in Lexington.

    Kids cheese with extra ($2 double patty). Good

Most of us downloaded the mobile app which gave us a free Charburger with a purchased drink. Got there at 11:20 and we ordered at the counter. The inside was empty so we had plenty of space for our group. The cashier and manager at the time were very friendly and took our order and helped some of the guys with the mobile app situation. I think we all opted for the standard Charburger and possibly added cheese to it. I chose to split the regular fries and the tempura beans but others tried the sweet potato fries and onion rings along with just the fries. The opinion on the burger was varied. We had comments from it being very bland to excellent (one person said bland/tasteless and one said great). The majority said that the burger was good but nothing out of the ordinary. It had a nicely done burger with good meat, lettuce, mayo, onion, tomato and I think a pickle. I honestly felt that I could've ordered from Burger King or What-a-Burger and it wouldn't have been that much different. It had a sesame seed coated bun which was fine. The best thing that two of us had were the tempura green beans. Absolutely fabulous. A light crispy coating and yet the bean was totally cooked perfectly. I placed an order to take home to my wife and she thought they were great. The one person from California ordered a shake and said it was very good. Most of us ordered a soft drink just because of the mobile app giving a free char burger with a soft drink order. The shake did look good however. I will definitely return and try a shake next time and also order the beans again. I can't say anything about the other burgers since we pretty much ordered the same thing. Our average rating was 4.5 for the group, which is very good.

    Went for a walk around the lake and decided to grab dinner on the last lap. We weren't drinking…read morealcohol that evening, so we passed on the beer and opted for a light dinner of salads: Southwestern and Cobb. Curiously, my wife's Southwestern salad featured breaded cheese curds, along with the breaded deep-fried chicken. The portion was generous and the dressing complemented the fresh greens. She wasn't able to finish her salad but I know she liked it because we became our "Doggie Bag." When I read the description of the Cobb salad I didn't notice that it included bacon, so I opted for some grilled chicken. Turns out my salad had a ton of crisp bacon so I got lots of protein with this one. I opted for the blue cheese dressing, and whatever blue cheese was not in the dressing was in the salad. We sat outside on the patio; the evening featured low humidity, and a nice view of the lake. Our server was very friendly and attentive, as was the hostess.

    Cuisine: 9 Service: 9…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 9 Overall: 9 I love this place! I wish we had a chain of affordable fried seafood restaurants that had such awesome service and deliciousness. The concept for the food here is "part Greek, part Southern, all Carolina". From what I can see, most of the entrees are southern based, but the sides have that Mediterranean touch. So far, my favorite menu items here are the fried shrimps, which are super addicting. They are mini sized popcorn shrimps, but don't let that fool you because it's a punch of flavor. Nice crispy batter that's not too thick, juicy and bouncy little shrimps that pairs wonderfully with the tartar sauce. Another thing I loved was their fried flounder. Perfectly cooked every time. The flaky flesh of the fish inside of that crunchy crust just can't get much better. One last honorable mention is their fish sandwich, which is packed with Alaskan fish fillet and that yummy tartar sauce. I would be dismissive if I should not bring up the amazing service of this "fast food" restaurant. I see the servers cleaning the tables and chairs constantly every time I'm here while providing a friendly smiling face whenever they are nearby. They ask how my food was and take the trays away when I'm done. All other fast food chains should learn from Showmars.

Meanwhile he chomped on some of his fries. Overall food was great. Only issue is with the loud music. Music is good music, just way to loud. Everytime we go here nobody can here each other talk across the table. (We always sit at the big corner table on the right as you walk in). Fries were okay....nothing special. Burgers are the thing.
