A small step above my experiences at 5 Guys. Burgers are made to order. The staff doesn't say much, just enough, I liked them. The restaurant and cooking area appeared very clean as well. These are thin burgers that get smashed, think smash burger. So if you are looking for a rare burger, I didn't find it here. Thicker steakhouse burgers are my preference. But I did find a good burger here nonetheless. I ordered the Big Easy burger which comes with a creole remoulade, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes. It's a limited time burger and it's delicious. It cost $10. The full size fries, which were the largest size, was $4. They didn't load up the fries like at some of these smash burger type places. But the fries were fresh and good. read more

Wayback Burgers - Counter - Burgers Near Me - Milford, Delaware

Made the mistake of coming here on my way to a meeting. Currently had to put my own order in then wait and wait and still waiting for my food. Never again. Now ai have no food and am late to my next meeting. read more

When you charge someone for a combo meal... maybe let the person know there are no fountain drinks available and no bottled drinks available as a backup... The soda machine was down, the ice tea dispensers were off and empty and the lemonade machines were turned off with lemonade inside... who knows for how long? I did manage to get ice for my imaginary drink and there were black specks all throughout them. Who knows. Apparently the soda machine was down for quite a while. Burgers were good but the service was absolutely abysmal. Won't be going back read more

This place is much better than a five guys. Five guys suck like chick filet and those with no taste bud prefers those two. As for way back burger, it's pretty good. I like their onion rings and fried cheese curd. The chili cheese fries are bland and poorly seasoned. I like to swing by this place on my way back from rehoboth beach after a fishing trip. Only complain are slow service and flies.. lots of flies.. bathroom is most definitely cleaners than royal farms and Wawa or five guys, lol. Management needs to fix the slow service and get rid of the flies.. install one of those air blowers by the door and some fly traps.. when flies exist, you are bound to find maggots somewhere.. read more

Service was darn slow, sad part is we were the only ones in the restaurant and it still took 25 minutes, while chicken was cooking since they forgot to "drop" it, the poor burger sat out on the counter getting cold read more

A 5 Guys "wanna-be" that makes a barely decent burger at a over-premium price that's just disappointing. I generally love spiced fries/tots, but these "cajun" tots had SO much spice, they were basically inedible. Patties are cooked hard, but not very juicy. Toppings are "there", but barely, and our order had several mistakes (missing toppings). Two burgers, tots & onion rings via Doordash clocked in at $50 - and that's WITH Dash-pass and a $3 discount. Even when you factor in a good tip, that's just insane. read more

This is a zero star restaurant. Been here several times. Food was generally ok; not so much this last time. Customer service is horrible and going downhill. The employees couldn't do a worse job of making their customers feel welcome. They just look at you like "Why are you bothering me?" and don't even greet you. Whoever runs this place needs to find another line of work. This was my last time eating there. I'll stick with Chick Filet where the servers are always pleasant and the food is always good. read more

First time here. Great, fast, friendly service. Delicious, freshly made food. Clean restaurant!

Great burgers. chili fries and shakes. We had a Big Easy and Classic burger along with Oreo and Coffee shakes. Clean and friendly, great service and great food. read more

Do you like good food? Do you like to feel appreciated as a customer? Go see Nick and enjoy a FANTASTIC burger! The place is hard to see (get a bigger sign, Nick) but don't be fooled - the inside is spacious and clean. As a bonus there is a liquor store in the same plaza. read more

Waited almost 15min to receive a burger with two full tablespoons of mustard. The menu does not describe what the "classic" burger has in it, but I was definitely not expecting that amount of mustard even if it did. Employees showed absolutely no motivation to work here. read more

Not cheap, but the best burger I've had in a long time. Fries were really good too. My wife said her chicken sandwich was tasty as well.

Some friends and I ordered for takeout. Somewhere along the way, the cheese on my burger had disintegrated. I almost needed a magnifying glass to find the onions and mushrooms on it. It was bland and tasteless. There was one very small, soggy leaf of lettuce on it (which I didn't order), so I didn't mind taking it off. Fries were soggy and undercooked. One and done. read more

Good food but I was had terrible service the last time I was there. When I went there in the past I was greeted and happily served. Last time I went there it was Tuesday the 26th in the last afternoon. I had just come from the gym wearing my police themed workout shirt because I am going to school for Law enforcement and I had law enforcement in my family so I wear it. The guy running the register did not greet at the door as usual, just had a whatever attitude and even refused to get me my cup. The other guy saw I did not have a cup and told the other guy, "Aren't you going to give her a cup." His words were, "I'm not going to give her one." And he stormed in the back. It was the other guy not running the register that served me my food. And I work in food service, if I gave that kind of service, I would've been fired right away. read more

Best burgers and food ever!!! Every time we pass through we stop by! Don't let these negative ratings here fool you. Go see for yourself. Try the ice cream sandwich!!!!! I'm so glad I didn't let the low ratings deter me. read more

Waited twenty minutes for two cheeseburgers and small order of soggy fries. So much for fast food. Wife and I each had a burger and split the fries. Both of us said well that really sucked. Servers mocked a heavy set guy after he left, saying he didn't even need the burgers he complained about waiting for. No need to ever go to any way back burger again. read more

The food is never ready in the expected time , it's always so busy and a lot of the workers are crabby

Great burgers. Vanilla shake was good. Tater tots were meh. Had the classic and rodeo. The classic was so good and filling that I could have skipped the tater tots. Burger patties tasted like real meat. Burger was fresh and juicy. Was a bit greasy, but in a good way, and what we were looking for. I understand why they call it way back burger. I really did have the feeling I was having a good old fashioned burger. I think we ate our burgers in less thank 5 minutes. Service was AWESOME. The server explained the options and got our order to perfection. He also read my mind while we were waiting for our order and asked if I wanted my shake while I was waiting. Yessssss! Server was pleasant, attentive and personable and we had a few good laughs while putting in our order. I can't wait to go back. read more

The perfect burgers, hands down, the best. Excellent fries too. Made to order, got it right the first time. Using the App made for a no wait pick up. I have been to two other Wayback locations and found the wait time way too long. Milford was very fast, and the place was packed. read more

I ordered a hot dog and when I got home my hot dog had a half a bun. Like WTF am I supposed to do with half a bun???!!! I am very fearful of this generation of young kids working because they have no customer service skills or integrity in their work. I mean, who would think this is Ok to serve a customer???!!! I just cannot understand why employees don't value good customer service but yet they want to have a tip jar asking for tips. I have a tip for whoever made my hot dog...go back to training and learn how a hot dog should be made and served to a paying customer!! read more

First time eating at Wayback Burgers. My family and I stopped on our way to OBX. Two burgers, two chicken sandwiches, fries, onion rings, and a milkshake; everything was delicious! We're not big fast food eaters, and Wayback is definitely a step above! We'll definitely be back next time we pass through. read more

They are a new and clean facility. It's a small place that specializes in mainly burgers, fries, and shakes. They can get busy at the start of the weekend. The staff are friendly and attentive. They are usually pretty quick with the orders too. You can call ahead, order from the app or stop in and eat. The have cute little diner style tables to eat on. As far as the food goes. It's tasty! The burgers are good with an endless combination of toppings to choose from. They don't charge you extra for the toppings either. The onions are not round or whole on your burger. They are chopped onions. So that's different. The fries are traditional medium sized fries. They also have the choice of grilled or breaded chicken sandwiches and hotdogs. read more

Stopped in for lunch on way to Ocean City. Not bad. Good burgers from fresh ground beef. Also got the combo fries and onion rings. Would stop again read more

I've been to Wayback Burgers in Newark, Delaware. The place was clean, and it had a fun sort of feel to it. And, the burgers were good. The burgers and onion rings at the Milford, Delaware, Wayback Burger were greasy and tasteless. The onion rings were also greasy. But that's what happens when they're cooked at 345 degrees, which I was told was their "suggested" temperature. Go to McDonald's. read more

Burgers and shakes are always great. Freshly made and reasonable prices. Way more menu items then othe similar restaurants. Waybetter !

My first time ever at the Milford, Delaware location. It was a very good experience! The gentleman taking the orders was very friendly and our food came out quickly. I ordered the Cheeesy burger. It was cooked perfectly (not dried out and bland like you find at a fast food joint). The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh - not like they had been sitting around forever and wilted. The facility was very clean and neat, even around the drink section which can get sloppy and sticky. Two others in my party ordered steak sandwich and fries and commented on how good the food was. There is a good variety when it comes to drinks - fresh brewed iced tea (sweet and unsweetened), your regular soda machine with coke, etc., and a variety of low or no calorie fruit drinks for those watching their sugar intake. I am definitely going back again! read more

I was looking for a good burger after a case of the Mondays. I ordered a create your own single w/ fries for the kid and after looking over the menu I decided to give the "Big Easy" w/Cajun tots a chance. I drove 20 mins for this meal and I would drive 20 more cause after that first bite I knew I had a winner. Awesome job!!! And the kid said it's worth 4 thumbs up all day (her feet are like hands). read more

Food was good, milkshake was amazing but service a bit slow due to short staffing. We ordered a veggie burger, chicken fingers, buffalo chicken wings & a vanilla milkshake. The food was better than fast food and served hot. We did the online ordering and called when we arrived. After being placed on hold for 4 min I just walked into the place and got in line. I had to wait another 5 min in line to get our food. The worker at the counter was working hard, juggling taking in-person orders, phone orders and passing out food. There were 2 workers making the food. Having a fourth person working during a busy lunch hour would have made the system much more efficient. Especially on a Sunday when it seems like many places in Milford are closed. read more

The burgers are really good, I love that I can switch out the bun for a lettuce wrap. The staff is really nice and helpful. I have a sensitive stomach so it's really nice that I can choose what toppings toget on my burger. I can't eat at most burger places because the cheese they use always upsets my stomach, but I've never had that problem here. Now it's my main and favorite burger joint! read more

Horrible experience. No customers I'm there Byrne when I entered. Order taker, Lydia (according to receipt) couldn't keep her mask up and was too busy talking to other workers to hear my order. Repeated several times. Placed order then added drink and fries. She didn't tell me they only had tea, lemonade or black cherry soda - all other flavors (coke products) were out of stock. Ordered a burger with fried onions, got raw. Ordered ketchup and mustard on other and got ketchup and mayonnaise. Fries must have been left over from Wednesday and today is Friday. Overcooked, no seasoning, hard and no flavor. During cooking of meal "Lydia" wouldn't wear her mask over nose or mouth but still had it on (why bother) and she was handling food. I asked to speak to manager - if the person I spoke to was the manager the place is doomed! He never apologized for the drink selection or offered an alternative. Actually he just nodded and said nothing. Walked away from me with no apology at all. Manager was dressed with behind hanging out of pants and mask hanging down, did not observe social distancing. First visit and the last to this location. Won't be open long with this sort of customer service and respect for customers. read more

Delicious & consistant. We usually go on Fridays or Saturdays, their busiest times. The service is always good, too.

I stopped at Wayback Burgers today with my wife and daughter after I picked her up from high school. First time stopping there at my daughters urging. I ordered the classic cheeseburger combo with a hand dipped chocolate milkshake with whipped cream, my wife and daughter also ordered the classic burger combo but with other drinks, the french fries we got with the meal was fresh cut, the burgers were made with fresh meat not frozen and pattied by hand served on a briosh bun, the food I must say was excellent reminding me of the fresh burgers I had gotten when I was younger, the staff is very polite and speedy not to mention that we decided to eat inside which offers very tasteful and clean decor, I was certainly impressed and will be back, I urge people to try out this wonderful gem in Milford Delaware. read more
