The two 9 patty burger's that I ate were filling. They could have used a bit more seasoning though. Service was great! read more

Wayback Burgers - Great Burger! - American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Ordered a 5 piece chicken nuggets and a kids cheeseburger. The 5 piece nuggets was the saddest thing I've ever seen. Half the nuggets were the size of a quarter and mostly breading. The kids cheeseburger was as plain as it gets, and the burger meat itself was dry. I highly recommend finding something else to eat while here at the mall read more

I ordered the chicken nuggets kids meal with an Oreo shake. The chicken nuggets were so small, dry, and not much chicken to them. I would say it was mostly breading. Not too appetizing. The fries were just fries, nothing impressive. The saving grace here was the Oreo shake, which was pretty good. I would not recommend this place based off of this experience. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this burger place. They burger with the A1 was really good, and I really enjoyed the tater tots. Hard to mess up tater tots, but they hit! The workers were great,just would prefer you dont interrupt my ordering because you need to say something in Spanish to another customer, it could have waited till I was finished ordering. It is inside the mall, so I am not fond of that, but the place is busy. Food is good, mall is busy and depending on day hard to find a seat, and noisy of course. But for a quick good burger, not a bad place to visit. read more

These were ordered for takeout, two burgers as described; the Cajun and the steakhouse. Neither were very good. The Cajun had no semblance of Cajun to it, and I asked for the gold sauce to be added. Both of these burgers had little to no sauce, were dry and boring. The buns were clearly pretty cheap, and might have been better toasted. Pretty disappointed by these.. read more

Not a bad burger. I got the double bacon and thought it was decent. Onion rings could have been a little more crisp and hot. Fries were not crispy at all, so hard pass on those. Service was fine, maybe a little slow. There was only one person at the counter so that's expected. Would I come back again? Only if I'm at the mall. There are much better burger deals elsewhere for way less. For a mall burger, it's passable. read more

So its been a while since we ate here. My last review was like 5 years ago. We happened to be at the mall so we figured we'd give the place another try. Everything was good except the onion rings. Soaked in oil and soggy. Like maybe the fryer temp needs to be higher. I dont know but definitely wont order those again. Customer service was great as usual. read more

I was at Meadowood mall with a friend and we decided to have some lunch, and today I decided to try out Wayback Burgers. The cashiers were both very nice and friendly! The price of the food was a little high for my liking, but it wasn't horribly high. I ordered the Cheesy Burger combo and, aside from the bizarre look of it, the burger and the fries tasted fine, they weren't bad, but they don't really stand out in anyway. However, the Red Velvet smoothie, was beyond delicious! The flavors really pop and it goes down nice and smooth! Overall, the experience was alright, nothing about it was bad in anyway, but, aside from the milkshake, nothing really stood out, especially for the price of the food. read more

The Wayback burger south on the I5 was super delicious. But reading the reviews for Reno's didn't sound like I want to try it. Sorry

Overall this is not a bad stop for a burger if you are walking the mall looking for a quick bite to eat. However, it definitely didn't fix my crave for a really good burger. The onion rings and fries lacked seasoning, but were still okay. The burgers were cooked well and decent size, but I was disappointed in what I received. On the menu, you see a big bacon cheeseburger with onion rings on it, looks delicious! I asked what sauce comes on it and she said there's two; one with bbq and one with another sauce. I requested the bbq but what I got looked nothing like the picture- no onion rings, just a plain bacon cheeseburger with an aggressively over sweetened bbq sauce. I suppose that was just a misunderstanding, but that's not how it was explained. Overall I wouldn't be against going back, but definitely not on the top of my list. read more

I saw a sign on a school fence and was excited to try it, boy was my Husband and I so VERY disappointed. We ordered 2 box single cheeseburgers, one with tator tots, one with frys, a brownie shake and a small light lemonade. I took 1 drink of the lemonade and it was so gross, at first I thought it was me so I had my Husband try it, he agreed with me, I threw it away. The burgers were not very good. Tator tots were over cooked. Fries were okay and shake was the only good thing! So very disappointed after looking forward to trying this place. Worst meal we have had in a long time. For $28.45 food should have been better than what it was. Will NEVER go here again! read more

If I was a local in this area, you'd definitely see me quite often!!! We were two very hungry girls and JP did us right!!! He was very hospitable and nice and we exchanged some silly dialogue in Tagalog! Will forever trust a place that can make a simple burger right. (I ordered a kids meal with a cheeseburger and fries and I was quite satisfied with it.) shoutout to the cook at the time too, my cousins onion rings were top notch and I just really appreciated a good simple burger. I usually don't make reviews about places, but this joint made my stomach and heart feel good :D read more

My son was full from his T-bone breakfast, so I decided on the mall.. Tucked away in the food court, and the front end counter was spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and I decided to go with the classic with cheddar. Ten min. wait and my name was called. Impressed with the decent size of the burger and the hot fries... Glad they are here in the mall! read more

I ordered the family pack. That includes 2 each classic burgers, fries, onion rings and 6 chicken tenders. I also ordered 2 milkshakes. The burgers were tasty but not really spectacular. The fries seemed small for a "full" order of fries. The onion rings were yummy. The chicken tenders were good but one of the tenders was super small. The staff was nice but very tight with the dipping sauce. I ended up getting 3 sauces. But I had to convince them that each side and the order of tenders should each have at least 1 sauce. Also they didn't have any whipped cream for the milkshakes. Overall I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there again. read more

I am sorry to say but i would simply avoid this place. My wife and I got both a chicken and a beef patty burger and couldn't make our way past a quarter of it before we began to feel queasy. The buns appeared to be doused in oil, the fries appeared to be dried out with an unhealthy amount of salt added and just not worth eating read more

Went in today 7/28/25 4pm, to get our usual, medium tater tots and drink... The oriental kid working the counter was very rude and said we could not get that without ordering a burger. We told him we'd been getting it for about 2 years, he refused to let us order it without ordering a burger and said we could order it as sides. I asked since when he said since always. He refused our order period, he got more rude as we went on, there is no excuse for that. He needs to be taught what the menu orders are and how to be polite. read more

Ok, this place is a fast food joint in the mall so I'm not going to grade them on service (which was ok). The food I'm grading on a calorie scale of worth it or not. The chicken BLT, ummmm yes! Thick, crisp, juicy and good flavors. Salted caramel milkshake, yes please!! Even worth the tummy woes for someone who is lactose intolerant (sacrifices I make to share me experiences with all of you, lol) Cheese curds? Nah, not fresh and kinda hard. Not worth the calories or pain afterwards. Overall, ya I'd eat here again. read more

Returning customer to Wayback burger the sandwich and the fries were good, but the milkshake was not as good as it was last time. I think it might've been either a lack of the same or similar ingredients to what they had last time or them being short of staff there was only one person out front taking orders. Other than that, it was an OK experience. I hope they'll be able to get some better ingredients for their milkshakes in the near future. read more

The bacon burger was Way too greasy way too salty would not come back again literally a pool of grease. Fries were dried out and way too salty. read more

Everything could improve. Service was terrible. I ordered a chili dog, smallest hotdog ever. Chili looks and taste worse than hormel canned chili. Don't waste your time or money. read more

The Oreo milkshake was the best part of this experience. We shared the Oktoberfest burger minus mustard. Pretzel bun was good. Onion rings inside were charred. Burgers were cooked but the cheese wasn't very melted. I'd get a milkshake there but not a burger or food again. read more

@waybackburgers this was my first time dining at this gourmet burger spot. The environment is great the design and make up of the interior design is very unique.

Alright...we're going back! Waaaaay back!!! Okay, maybe not back into time, but Wayback Burgers attempts to take us to simpler times and a simple menu with burgers, fries, and shakes as their key menu items. But, simple doesn't mean the experience is going to be easy... Ordering can be done online through their app or on their website. I wasn't impressed. Not only do you get some tricky maneuvering to ensure you build the order right, which didn't happen. They don't seem to be able to read their system to provide the best customer experience. Bacon was missing from both burgers we ordered and I had to go back twice to them; first for missing onion rings, again for missing chili. We were so hungry by this point, just ate and didn't think about it until right before I started writing this review. So, Wayback, you made $3 off me tonight extra, unless you care to credit my card since my picture left the Order# just for you! :) Now, with the negatives out of the way, let's get down to business...was the food good? Despite missing bacon, and sparse mushrooms and grilled onions for the one that needed it, YES. Burgers from days of old were generous with toppings. These seemed a little meh despite the $7-9 price tag. Taste, however, spot on! Not too salty, not bland, flavorful meat and wasn't too greasy off the grill. Onion rings as well were good though they could have stood a bit more temperature on one order vs my freshly made ones. One other thing: portion control. If you're going to forget someone's stuff, at least ensure they're consistent with the order that was there. My wife's onion ring basket was pretty full; mine, I counted 8 in total to her 15! So, hoping for a rebound experience in which I'll bump the review accordingly or take it down a notch if a similar experience happens again. Give them a go while shopping - and good luck when you do! read more

DO YALL HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO MAKE A PERFECT BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICH?? You gotta soak the chicken in the sauce but somehow manage to keep it crispy. This place does it better than anywhere else. I always get the Buffalo chicken sandwich (obviously). Follow it up with some Cajun style tater tots and a strawberry hibiscus drink!! Can NEVER go wrong. Also the guy at the front register is always super nice. And very knowledgeable if you need suggestions. read more

I would have given this place a five but the fries were not great. The classic cheeseburger was very good though. I really liked it. The salad was just ok and the milkshake was pretty good but kind of runny. Also, the ranch was very good. Also, the person at the counter was wonderful. Very pleasant and made sure to answer questions even though he was new. read more

Thank you for the good food! It arrived looking very sad and nothing like the photos that suckered me in, which was at first off-putting... but the mac n cheese bites, cheeesy burger, and chili fries were all tasty despite appearances, kind of like myself. Relatable, 4 stars. read more

I ordered from online, received the cheesy burger the o'fries, and shake. The shake was delicious, the cheese burger just tasted oily and the fries just tasted like old oil. Needless to say the food is in the trash- the place is definitely a 1-star, but put a 3 so it will remain up. read more

I ordered delivery and it arrived fresh and hot just as described. I ordered chicken tenders with Barbeque sauce and they were really crispy and good. I ordered a Caesar salad with extra dressing. Good quality romaine lettuce with lots of Parmesan cheese plus croutons and two dressings on side so still fresh on arrival. The Italian nachos are essentially nachos with home made potato chips instead of corn tortillas chips. The had chili, cheese, onion and jalapeños. Plus any sweet tea. It was all good. read more

The workers were helpful in ordering. Wanted a burger and shake and that's what we got. Nothing fantastic but it was good.

First time trying wayback burgers and I don't think I'll be giving it a 2nd chance, at least not at this location. We were told 12 minute wait and waited about 25 minutes. When we finally got our food, both mine and my bf's order were incorrect. When we took it back to get it fixed, the employee took our already bitten into burgers back and tried to take off/add items to make it correct. We asked if they could just remake our burgers cause my bf ordered no cheese and it had cheese on it. They said it would be another 25 minute wait. So we said forget it, just give us our money back. They then said they could only give us 50% of our money back. We had to argue for the full amount back. Bad customer service and the burger we did get looked like a burger from Wendy's. read more

The customer service is outstanding! They are fast and efficient and they always smile. I love Coming here for lunch!

The hubby and I went to the Mall to give this new burger joint an opportunity to WOW us. I had secretly decided I would probably go to Smee's and let the hubby get his burger. However, when we arrived we noticed that Smee's was no longer in the mall. I was a little sad about this new revelation. So I decided I would give Wayback a try. My hubby ordered a simple burger with lettuce, tomato, cheese etc... He said the burger was very good. Not the best he has ever had, but it apparently didn't seem have a lot of filler, which impressed him. I ordered the cod fish sandwich. It was not bad, but not as wonderful as the burger apparently. The food was extremely hot, which was awesome, as cold food is always one of my biggest pet peeves for a restaurant. We will be back, but this time I will try a burger. read more

Wayback Burgers - Time for lunch - American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

September 14, 2018 Friday - 12:45 PM for lunch One adult Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 3 stars Service - 4 stars Background - Seeing a lot about this place and I have a craving for a burger. Maybe it was me reading all about them. Atmosphere - A Meadowood Mall food so not to exciting. Food Lunch - A burger of course. The Rodeo burger looked great on the menu board. The two patties were juicy, and that was the only thing that saved the burger. Two slices of cheese that were barely melted. Probably were on the flat top for less than ten seconds to melt that cheese. The onion rings were so small they probably would not fit on my finger like a ring. That is fine, rather have them there instead of my ring order. The BBQ sauce was weak and watery, a major let down. Service - Simple, a fast food cashier. He did say they cook to each order when placed so it will be 7 to 8 minutes, it was 9. No biggie that it was 9 minutes. I surprised I did not get the suggestive sale of sides or drinks. He did finish up with if the meal was for here or to go. Future - Maybe. read more

This was my first at Wayback Burgers. This is a mall food court location. They have a number of burger offerings including build your own. They also have chicken tenders and a Philly cheese steak sandwich. I had the classic burger with regular fries and a side of onion rings. If you like InNOut Burger you will love the classic wayback burger. Your food is made fresh to order. The fries were nice and crisp. I would recommend Wayback if you are hungry for a good burger. read more
