Delicious burgers. Love the shakes friendly Service cute spot convenient. We love this place for lunch or dinner.

Had plenty of cooking to do on Thanksgiving so we decided to find lunch for places you were open on Thanksgiving luckily Wayback burgers was open. It wasn't busy at all just a few people. We ordered through uber eats and picked up in store which our food was ready when we got there. We decided to sit down and enjoy our food which was fresh. The chicken tenders were good also the burgers were good but needed more seasoning they tasted a little bland. Overall was happy to get a meal in before cooking for the family. read more

It's a fast casual burger franchise that sits at the very end of the Publix shopping plaza on FishHawk Crossing Blvd. It looks nice from the outside, and has outdoor seating. My first impression walking into the restaurant was that it seemed dark, and a little dank as well. The window shades were down because the sun always shines heavily from that side of the building. Something was off with the ventilation. It just reminded me of a greasy spoon diner. Nothing too terrible, but just not what I expected. The atmosphere could be better if it was brighter. Let's just say that nothing really sparkles. The service was very good. I was greeted right away. I selected the Classic Wayback Burger lunch special, and made the burger a double. It was actually a very good deal which includes fries and a drink. They bring out the order to your table once it is ready. The packaging and presentation was very good. The fries were crispy, and the burger was fresh and made to order. I thought the burger was juicy, and the cheese was nice and melty. What I didn't love was the potato bun. I just don't like them. I know others like them because it soaks up the drippings from the burger. I do like a good greasy burger, but the bun just didn't do it for me. Also, the bun tasted a little fermented, and not in a sourdough kind of way. I guess it's the type of bun that threw me off. I've thought about going back to try the Cheeeesy Burger. It's the one that has 4 slices of melted cheese, and it's served on a buttered and grilled bun that is inverted. It looks really good in pictures, but I just can't get past that bun. They also have seasonal shakes that look amazing. I may go back to try the pistachio shake. It's worth a try if you just happen to be in the area. read more

I stopped by here sort of unexpectedly the other day, but happy to have tried Wayback Burgers. The inside was empty, which is always a little nerve-wracking because if you've never been before you wonder why this the case is. Anyway, I made my way to the counter and was immediately greeted and was asked about my order. I took a quick glance at the menu, and it was pretty standard overall. I ordered the number 1 with fries and a drink, which was close to $15- kind of a lot, so I hoped the payout was worth it. It didn't take long before my order was ready- the great thing out the gate is that the meals are made to order- even the fries. Fresh fries? I'm in. The burger was really good. I will say it 100% reminded me of a Wendy's burger. Now to me, that's a good thing. I loved it. If I could critique it, I'd say it could have been a little more filling, but I like to eat. It was two thin patties with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and condiments. The fries were perfect. No complaints at all. Even in the middle of my meal the girl working there stopped by to check on me, which was a great touch. Fries- Amazing Burger- Good Price- a little too high Customer Service- Amazing Worth a try if you're in the area and next time I definitely will be trying a shake. read more

Not a drive thru. Only milkshake ive ever had that was absolutely terrible. fries were soggy. Extremely average burger. Dont waste your money. 25$ for a horrible shake, soggy fries, and a over cooked burger read more

We usually order individual meals but decided to try the value meals they were offering this evening and the sandwiches were poorly made with wilted lettuce, burnt buns and a total of 7 tater tots as a side. They also forgot the lettuce that we paid extra for and that was disappointing as well. Definitely not worth what we paid for read more

Quick great service and I will be back. Great tasting food I receive the wrap and fries!

forgot to add my fries on my combo and made me have to raise my voice to get any service and refused to get my fries and tried to make me pay for them again read more

Wayback Burgers - no FRIES for my combo - Hot Dogs Near Me - Lithia, Florida

I had a craving for a really good burger, and after considering various possibilities, we decided to go close to home and visit Wayback Burgers in Fishhawk. We each had the Classic Burger with fries and a fountain drink. The burger was grilled in sight, right when we ordered it, out of fresh beef, not a pre-made patty. The fries were made just for us, and all was served fresh and very hot! We had our burgers the Wayback way with everything on it. We loved our meal, ate every crumb and I would definitely recommend Wayback! Service was great, food served right when it was ready (no sitting around getting cold!) and we were asked several times if it all met our expectations. Very friendly people! The setting was very clean and neat, too. read more

Burgers are juicy, obviously fresh, thick. Fried pickles are decent, Mac& cheese bites are are yummy. Service is friendly and well-organized. Have not tried the famed milkshakes yet, but I noticed a Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavor that we'll try next time. Casual, tables and counter, some outside seating too. read more

Let me start by saying that Wayback Burgers was decent and I did enjoy it. I would give this review really 3.5 stars if I could. Wayback offers a fast casual dining experience serving griddle burgers, hot dogs other sandwiches that hit high on the greasy factor. They also have salads and milkshakes. We ventured to Wayback Burgers in Fishhawk with some friends Thursday evening. We arrived around 815pm. The place wasn't too busy but there were people here. They close at 9pm. I ordered their cheesy burger, extra pickles with a side of onion rings. My wife ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with a side of fries. We waited about 10 minutes for the food. I am a burger lover. One of my favorite foods and I can be picky. This burger was tasty, cheesy and made just how I would like it. It was just a bit too greasy and heavy for me. The bun was good, a signature on this item is the bun placed upside down with the flat part out. It was toasted and buttered offering a slight crunch. The cheese was ample, 4 slices of American and tasted cheesy. A salty, savory element. The double burger patties were griddle cooked, juicy but greasy. Well seasoned. The burger wasn't too big. I cut it in half to better manage it. The extra pickles were good. The side of onion rings were about normal for onion rings. Deep fried, crunchy and went well with their Wayback Gold sauce which is a mix of barbeque sauce and mustard. That was tasty. My wife enjoy her food as well. She felt the same as I did though, heavy and greasy. Her buffalo chicken sandwich was crunchy and had decent spice to it. She said the fries were about average and reminded her of Steak and Shake. It was hot in the dining area and we left smelling like deep fried foods. Even the floor of this place felt slick because of the grease. Wayback Burgers seems to be along the lines of the fast causal burger joints like BurgerFi or Shake Shack just not quite as good. I give Wayback Burgers 3.5 stars. It's worth a try and they have a decent amount of options. Everything is customizable. I just don't see myself driving all the way here for a burger on a random evening. If you live in the Fishhawk area, give it try! read more

This was a great last minute decision on our part. We were all really craving a burger and this popped up on my Google maps when I searched for burgers. I got the Double Rodeo Burger which has two burgers, two slices of cheddar cheese, two onion rings and barbecue sauce. Let me tell you, I destroyed that burger. Truly delicious! The fries were bomb af too- dip them in some of their honey mustard and you won't be disappointed! My boyfriend got a classic double with fries and 4 chicken tenders. Overall he liked it a lot, he did wish the burger parties were thicker but I think that's the burger style at wayback. I loved this meal and definitely will return! read more

Always the best burgers and fries. Freshly cooked to order. I go to the Fishhawk location but also to the one in Plant City and both are consistently good. read more

Yet again there was a buy one classic get one free for national cheeseburger day yesterday. You had to buy it using the app. The problem always is that the app is broken. Of course - The App was broken. So I drove there. When I explained the app issue the waitress said that she was sorry but there wasn't anyway that she could honor the BOGO. Of course, as usual, the BOGO was a fraud. Will never return. read more

Great place to take the family out for a meal. Have eaten here several times since moving to FishHawk 3 months ago. It never disappoints. Good value, great burgers. staff is super friendly. Tots are great, but don't love the cheese tots. If you want a great burger for good price, best option for many, many miles. read more

Great place to eat as they have great burgers & fries! The owner & the staff are very nice! Would visit everyday once they opened. Great discounts! Highly recommend & will continue to visit often! read more

Had dinner here and I truly wasn't impressed. We've ordered from here on Uber eats once before this and I feel like it was better last year than it was in person tonight. Kind of busy - guy at the register wasn't focused at all when we were ordering and it was greasy in there. Floors, counters, etc. It was $45 for 2 burgers, fries, and drinks and then 1 hot dog fries and a drink. Really overpriced for what you get tbh. Wasn't impressed with the chili that was on the hotdog - very tomato based. The sauce on the burger was good but the patty itself was very bland and not a very good texture. No "crisp" for being a smash burger. Overall, I really wouldn't recommend this place. And will be looking for the better burger around town. read more

New to the area and hankering for a burger, we decided to give Wayback a try. They're a step up from McD's and BK, more like a Fudruckers or Five Guys. The check-in from Yelp was snafu, they don't even have house made chips, but the manager comped us fries. Good dude! I got a Big Easy burger, it was good but I couldn't taste the remoulade sauce. Next time I'll get pickles and onions on it for more zip. My wife got the garden burger, she really liked it. Fries were excellent, hand cut and not over salted. The shakes looked great, they had a Key Lime Pie one, but we were feeling a little over caloried already. We had a less than 10 minute wait for our food, everything is cooked to order - about the same as 5 Guys. They had plenty of help. We'll go back, certainly better than the Sonic and McDs in the same area, and worth it if it's a few $ more. read more

Great place great food and really nice staff. Any time we are in the area we say let's go to Wayback , great fried pickles and French fries

Out on a drive on a Friday night my son wants to try somewhere new so I suggest Wayback Burgers as it's the direction I was headed. He agrees because we all love Burgers. Entering I was pleased at the clean and bright nature of the restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful. I did find the Menu to be a little difficult to read. Since everything was A LA Carte it was kind of pricey. The food took a little longer to make because they make all burgers Made To Order so I can understand that. Other than a difficult menu and pricey food here is the major reason they get only 3 out of 5 stars. The Burgers were SUPER Greasy. The meat would not bind of stay together in the Bun because of the high concentration of grease. I don't know if this a special kind of Beef that does this or a cheaper meat with high fat content. Either way a burger that can't be held in the Bun isn't what I want. Others may love their greasy Burgers but my personal opinion is that it's not for me. read more

The food is really great but the customer service needs work. Tonight we ordered to go from the register. When order was given to us my husband checked the bag and saw the order of kids fries for our son was missing so my husband mentioned it to the person at the counter. When the fries were done a runner or kitchen staff (not the person we ordered from) brought the fries to my husband and in a very rude and sarcastic tone said "fries and stuff are all in the bottom of the bag so you basically got free fries". As we were all hungry and rest of the food was getting cold, we left with the food. There absolutely was not fries for our son in the bottoms of the bag we pulled out each item one at a time and to have a staff member then come out to a customer and basically call them a liar to their face is ridiculous and shameful. The employee could have worded it nicer and differently but even then still not okay. Why would we let our food get cold and try to scam the place for fries??? Make it make sense? We go inside to order as the app does not have the WayBack burger and it's one of my favorites. Great burgers. Fries are okay. Onion rings are amazing. Good portions. The inside is too humid and hot year round from what I believe is that the kitchen space is open up to dining area and the hood vents can't get all the steam or whatever as it is not contained in a small space. There is outside seating which is great to bring your dog to. When you sit outside they will even bring your order to you once completed. We have raved to people about this place and sadly will think twice about that after today's encounter. read more

We love the burgers and fries! It's nice to be able to take my gluten-free daughters out for burgers and not have to have them without a bun. read more

We ordered takeout. Everything was fresh and hot. If a burger is what you want , this place won't dip!

Excellent burgers! The best burgers and sides in the area. The owner is a nice guy and has great customer service skills!!

Food is great although a little pricey. Establishment is clean and the staff is very friendly.

Great burgers! A ton of selections and sides. They make their own chips which you just can't eat one! For a change I had the Philly. You can select what you want on it to stay traditional or otherwise. It was excellent. Didn't have a shake this time but they have a wide selection of them. read more

Great burgers & chicken sandwiches! We haven't had anything we didn't like, and recommend you try a steak & cheese with grilled chicken. It's not on the menu, but they will graciously make it. It's one of our favs! read more

Never had a bad meal here. Watch out for the slippery floor though. The food is amazing!!! Made to order always fresh. read more

Don't bother. Hot dog roll was too heavy. Onion rings were all the same size out of a bag and the fries are not fresh.

If you use a service animal DO NOT try and eat at Wayback Burgers after ordering and sitting we were then asked to either take food to go or eat outside. Liz claimed their was statutes that our dog could not be in the restaurant. Mind you every federal statute we have seen our service dog goes where my disabled husband goes. Of course she could give me no proof of her supposed statutes. My food got cold and I couldn't even finish because duh it's fricken chilly out. This will not be the last they hear from us. Lawyers being contacted places need to learn the laws. read more

Excellent food and nice staff. When I first started using them three years ago, the fries were a little mushy but they have improved their method. I will be back and I would recommend this place to other people. read more

It's clean, the service is always good and friendly, and the food is that of a decent burger joint. I'd give it a four more the food, but I rounded up because they're always cool in there and the ease of adding options to the burgers. My kids love the shakes too. read more

Let me start by saying that I'm "Old School". I want what I pay for, nothing less. We entered and I was pleased that the place was spotless and inviting. The young man that took our order was cheerful and polite. The menu seemed a bit pricey, $10 for just the burger, $6 for the fries (we split a full size order of bacon fries) the drink was extra too. We spent $32... so I was expecting something BIG. The food came out & it was this regular size double cheeseburger and a small plate of bacon fries. Needless to say I was not happy. My Love and I were both expecting much more. By the time we finished we were both full and satisfied. The helpings were just enough to reach satisfaction without feeling bloated. The ingredients were all fresh, the food was hot, it was Delicious! I spoke to the manager and explained to him that when I saw my food come out, I was prepared to leave a bad review based on the helping sizes vs the pricing. I admitted that I had underestimated this place 100%. He suggested I try the Chicken sandwich. YES, we will be going back to try the Chicken sandwich. Oh yeah, my Love also had the Oreo Mud slide shake. It was $4 and the size of kids drink... but worth every penny. Gone are the days of eating in excess and wasted food. I love where this eatery is headed. Wayback Burgers, Lithia Florida Thank you for the experience! Kevin M Allen U.S. ARMY RET. read more

Love their bacon cheeseburger! Their fries are really good. Fresh and hot. Add an Oreo milkshake and you've got yourself a great meal.

Initial reaction: overpriced and greasy. That said, the food was good and the grandchildren loved it!
