This place is a 3.5 star burger joint, I'll round up. Starting with the burger, they average $9, if it's a combo it's about $15. Pretty pricey. I got the double bacon cheese burger Pros: - Freshly cooked behind the counter - fresh lettuce and tomatoes Cons - lacking in flavor - burger lacks char/texture So for the price, it's a pretty average burger. Definitely better than your standard fast food joint, but nothing amazing. I'd still recommend you try it out for yourself once if you're craving a burger. Just don't expect anything too exceptional. Lastly it's decently clean which is nice read more

I had the A1 steak burger. It was pretty good but the grease on my bun and plate was not too appetizing. The burger didn't seem particularly greasy so I'm not sure where it came from. read more

Wayback Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Matamoras, Pennsylvania

See all

This is a throwback type of restaurant in almost every sense of the word. Burgers are fresh and cooked to order. The fries and onion rings are outstanding and the shakes are very very thick. The prices are as to be expected but you certainly get what you pay for. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

For a place that has ordering over the phone they sure don't answer I've been calling trying to order food when I was done with my shopping finally just went in and it was COMPLETELY empty. They need to review their managers. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

I got a cheeseburger. The paper it's wrapped in had a lot of grease. Too greasy for me and the onion rings seemed to be overcooked.

fresh food never frozen TASTES BETTER! staff has a positive attitude and made my meal fun. thanks for the best burger in Matamoras (Bourbon Bacon for the win) read more

Wayback is always consistent and delicious. I especially love that the staff is so good about requests. I like to have my Chicken Sandwich, not on a bun, but wrapped in a huge piece of lettuce and they serve that so nicely, with no problems. The workers are pite and efficient and the place is hopping, and the employees keep it moving smoothly. Speaking of smooth...get one of their delicious milkshakes! read more

Went today to get some food before a movie. Ordered chicken fingers and fries. When they finally came out, after asking where our food was 20 minutes later, the chicken was inedible from being forgotten about in the fryer. We ate our fries, and attempted the chicken. Brought the food to the counter to say something, and the guy took it out of my hands, said nothing, trashed it and walked away. This was their second chance, and they failed. I'm not sure if it isn't the same owners as when they opened, but it used to be really good. Won't be back. read more

Food was delicious and served quickly! Best burger and fries in the area! Relaxing atmosphere

Almost $40 for 3 hot dogs, 3 drinks, and 2 fries. Absolutely absurd! I used to come here and get much more for $20. I have hot dogs in my freezer and regret not just making dinner at home. Definitely the last time we come here. Also I ordered cheese fries (although I wasn't charged) I didn't even get them. I could only imagine what the price would've been if I did get them... read more

Horrible. the food was not great, burgers came cold and they event got my order mixed up. They put everything I asked them to not put on certain stuff and they added it. When I ask to put something on it they didn't put it on. Make it make sense. Place was trashy anyway. 0/10 do NOT recommend. Way too pricey aswell. read more

I like the food, but they always close early before their posted close time. Workers seem like they just want to get out of there

Waiting 40 minutes for a burger and fries. WTF is this. Never coming back even if this burger tastes amazing.... If it ever comes.

First timer, friendly atmosphere was patient when I was trying to order. Food was good they bring it to you and they have an amazing gourmet hotdogs. read more

We stopped in to Wayback Burgers to grab takeout on our way to our hotel nearby. It took a few minutes to get our food for our group of 4, but the burgers and onion rings we ordered were all delicious! read more

This place is a total spoof of the Five Guys/ In-and-Out model. But don't let that stop you. The food is good here and it's cooked fresh. The burgers are a thicker than your normal "smash burger" which I like. I suggest eating outside on your tailgate or whatever because the view of the mountains make for a pretty dang good backdrop. read more

Wayback Burgers - Rodeo burger - Burgers Near Me - Matamoras, Pennsylvania

When you first walk in and look at their menu you can get a little overwhelmed because they have a great menu selection of burgers, chicken sandwiches, cheese steak sandwiches, etc. Their sides are just as amazing mac and cheese bites, house made chips, chili, plus more. I ordered their Cheesy burger which was a double burger with four, four slices of cheese between and inverted grilled bun brushed with butter and it was the most delicious burger I have eaten in a long time plus a side of plain fries. This is definitely a great burger place and the service was pretty quick. This place is so much better than any other fast food place in the area. read more

I love this place the cheeeesy burger is one of the best you can really get in the area. The always load you up with fries and don't skimp out. Sometimes they are understaffed but still quick enough for 5 stars read more

walked up to the door AT 7:50, as I'm about to open the door the employee locked the door as soon as he saw us. If the store doesn't close until 8 why are you locking the doors 10 minutes early? manager came out and said we lock doors at 7:50. And we said all we wanted was a single milkshake so it's not like it would've taken 15 minutes to make... I will be back to see if they actually lock the doors every night at 7:50 read more

we walked in and both employees were sitting there on their cell phones. we order two vanilla shakes and two burgers the shakes came out and did not taste right there was something just off about them. then we get out burgers and one of them had multiple strands of hair in it (both employees were not wearing hair nets) would not recommended at all go somewhere else or save your money and a headache!!!!! read more

Online ordering is easy to use. Lots of options to pick. Inside the store is clean. But the food is not too good. The rodeo burger was ok but meat wasn't seasoned. The chili cheese tots were not good. Tots were not crispy and chili was bland. Milkshake I had was good. read more

Had to try this place, heard many good things, highly reccomended by friends. Was not diaapointed. Very impressed. Warm and friendly atmosphere at this location. Greeted as soon as we walked in. Clean facility, great decor of restaurant, old school burger vibe. Customer service was excellent. Server Reccomended the chilli cheese fries to try. The most delicious chilli cheese fries i have tasted. Burgers were juicy and loaded with flavor, great size portions. Meals were served in baskets lined with replica newspaper printed with information about the restaurant. Highly Reccomend this place read more

Wayback Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Matamoras, Pennsylvania

We stopped here on accident when we got off the highway. We were headed towards Wendy's when we saw a Wayback. It was a very pleasant surprise. We stopped here instead and we are so glad we did! I had the cheesy and it was so good. The milkshakes were on point. read more

Omg So fricking dam good red velvet milkshake Burgers great that came from heaven so good!

I was SO disappointed today. Says they close at 9:00 but it was closed by 8:20... on a Saturday night? How can a business survive like that? Probably won't be going there again. read more

I was passing through,got off the exit for gas.Not many food options in Matamoras so we decided on Wayback and we were so happy about our decision.The young man at the register was super friendly and helpful(wish I remembered his name)We decided on a burger & onion rings and chicken tenders with fries.We were pleasantly surprised on how good it was. Definitely will return next time we're in the area.Thanks Wayback! read more

Really good burgers and fries with lots of choices. Quick service, food is made to order. Staff is friendly and the place is clean. No complaints at all! Love it. read more

Zero stars. We went into this restaurant because we heard how good the burgers were. I guess we will never know since we stood there for 10 minutes at the counter while the guy working was taking a phone order and never acknowledged us. The other ladies cooking burgers were standing there and saw us but never said "it will be one minute" (it was ten at this point) or jumped behind the register and took our order. This was after we waited across the parking lot at Perkins and left since no one could seat us since I guess the hostess was busy and the servers aren't allowed to? Not sure what goes on in Matamoras but the service is horrible. read more

The burger and fries were fresh and very tasty. The surroundings we're clean and inviting. The staff was very friendly and efficient

Great place. Tastes fresher and much less greasy then five guys. It's also a lot less expensive. The food quality is really good and service has been awesome. read more

What a surprise. Expecting good burgers. They failed to deliver. Small, thin tasteless burgers. Can't believe how bland they tasted and how much (little) meat was in the patty. Their burger doesn't taste half as good as Wendy's. My wife and I were very disappointed. Won't be going back. Ps: malts were very good but overpriced. All of their items seem overpriced. Bacon on the burgers was precooked and one slice cut in half. read more

Love their food. Its really delicious. They are a bit pricey but its worth it. They really outdo other burger places around them. If order from them a lot more if their were specials but the fact they are the cream of the crop makes them the special itself! read more

This place was clean, but the burger was uninspired. It wasn't horrible, but kind of blah and not worthy of a trip back. read more

Wayback Burgers - Jr cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Matamoras, Pennsylvania

The burgers are cooked to order, but are about 3oz patties, so they are cooked past well done with very little char from the grill. The over cooking drys them out, but the toppings are fresh and add a little juice. The bun is standard, but sturdy enough to hold the burger without falling apart. The fries are fresh, crisp and hot, although they are frozen. The onion rings are real onions, not chopped and molded, with a crispy slightly sweet coating, actually pretty good. The milkshakes are ok but not the old school handmade drugstore variety, even though they are served in a silver beaker. Overall Jakes is a step up from Wendy's, and in a totally different class than McDonalds or Burger King. It's still fast food, but at least it's made fresh and served hot. read more

Stopped by on a road trip to Mass. Since it was right by the Wendy's we decided to go for the non mass chain burger. It was decent and the fries were good. Not even close to my favorite burger place Five Guys but it beat Wendy's. read more

Its website touts "big, juicy hand-made burgers" but that's not what I was served. It's a fast food burger, in the pile-those-toppings-on style of Five Guys, but with a drier patty. The bun was large and tasteless. Fries are ok. I didn't get a shake but that's something I would go back to try. Definitely not the burger. Good luck to them; they're in direct competition with Wendy's next door. read more

I think I'm fairly spoiled for burgers. Jake's doesn't hold a candle to the Five Guys or the Shake Shacks of the world, but it's an unpretentious, clean, inviting little place which does what it does pretty well. My first thought was that the burgers were oddly reminiscent of McDonald's - that's not necessarily perjorative, everyone knows McD's is the devil but I'll happily go there once in a while. It provides useful perspective - the Double Bacon Jake especially is basically an upscale Big Mac with bacon on it. It's tasty stuff but nothing mindblowing. I thought at first that it was a little overpriced (~$15 for two burgers + onion rings) but that's basically what you'd pay at McDonald's for the same kind of thing, so... yeah. If you want junk food, you can search around and do a lot better but you can also very easily do a lot worse. Bonus points if you're seeing a movie at Majestic Cinemas, because this place is literally next door. read more
