The classic double with extra cheese.
Inspector P.

The food and the kiosk need work. One the food, the classic burger had little to no seasoning on it and I needed salt to make it taste like anything. They will gladly give you an extra piece of Swiss cheese on your burger for another dollar 99. The kiosk it tells you there are 25 toppings to choose one and you must choose at least one. So for example, I chose mustard... as soon as I did a big red 'no' sign appeared over it (like no ghosts in Ghostbusters). So I decided that meant I should choose what I don't want , but I can only choose three that I didn't want. So after three tries I was about to walk out of there, but I was pretty hungry so I finally asked for a person to help me. usually when trying a place for the first time, I also got the fries, but they didn't look like anything special and I'm sure they weren't if they were anything like the Burger. A recommendation, if you choose to go there anyway, is that there is ketchup and mustard on the table in dispensers, so don't rely on them to not slather too much on....because they did and the bun was falling apart. So much potential --the pictures look good but the place disappoints. I had been to a way back burger on route 46 and it was good so I expected something good here too

SWEET BOURBON BACON BURGER
Jon H.

This was my first time at Wayback Burgers in years. I was prompted to stop as I was in the area running errands and got hungry. It was a spontaneous stop (I had no plans on stopping until I was pulling out of the parking lot). From what I remembered, the burger I had prior was big, loaded with toppings, and superior to a typical fast food burger. While the burger tasted somewhere between decent and good (definitely better than McDonalds, BK, Wendy's, etc.) I was a little underwhelmed. The onion ring on my Bourbon Bacon burger was soggy and the bacon wasn't crispy. The medium order of fries came with more than expected and I am a big advocate of malt vinegar on my fries as they have available here. The fries were crispy but also underwhelming flavor wise. It came to right under $15 after tax between the burger and fries which I couldn't really justify for what I was served. Overall, my meal was ok but I think I got my desire to stop at Wayback out of my system for a good while.

I threw this burger in the trash.

Filthy store. Every table had giant nasty bottles of ORANGE ketchup with weird air bubbles in it. It absolutely looked like it had gone bad. The caps were all ripped off seemingly by a feral animal, so they were all sitting open exposed to air in old plastic bottles all covered in dried ketchup and greasy fingerprints. SKETCHUP! Random other condiments were in mismatched store-brand bottles with half ripped labels. The tables and floors were somehow both simultaneously sticky and greasy and just generally gross. The women's bathroom had no toilet paper. Maybe the food was good?...oh friend, no. The food was emphatically not good. The cherry coke was not cherry coke. I have no idea what it was, but I couldn't drink it. My impossible burger melt took almost 30 minutes (even though there were no other customers ahead of me) and my partner's food came out 20 mins after mine (and we needed to ask about it twice and got some mumbles in response). Once it came, he reported that his food was also not very good. My veggie burger was covered in flecks of grill meat and I'm vegetarian so I didn't even try to eat it. My mistake for ordering at all when I saw the state of their cleanliness. I ordered "O-fries" but just got onion rings. When I asked about it the guy who took my order said "you can't get o-fries as a combo" okay....that's fine, but why did you ask me if I wanted to make it a combo when I ordered them then?! Lol. a manager did overhear this and came over to throw some fries on my tray. When I left I saw a line of several delivery drivers milling around wondering why none of their pickup orders were ready. In all I spent $15 on this and threw my food and drink in the trash. I bought a bagel on my way home. I will never, ever go back here.

wow - REALLY good burgers, and this was just take out, with the "fixings" on the side to do yourself! I can only imagine if I had it in the restaurant, cooked rare how I like, with some mayo. Yes, a bit unhealthy, but that's how I fancy mine! Good side Caesar too. Chips aren't my thing (I don't like potatoes; well, just sweet potatoes). I'd definitely make a special trip here in the future - yum!!!

I just wish there was something fresh or crunchy to balance out all the soft textures from the bread, beef patty, and cheese. I also added beef bacon to my burger, even though it's not listed as an add on the menu. I really wish more of these newer smashburger restaurants had lettuce and/or tomatoes as an add on topping. That would help cut through the grease and make the burger feel a little lighter. The restaurant is very clean and bright, I liked the atmosphere while I was in there and the staff were nice!

Quick and easy ordering process, staff don't waste any time getting your order & getting to work on it. Oddly enough there is an ordering kiosk at the counter right next to where you would order with staff. I guess that is for if you're feeling anti-social. Sitting area upstairs, so it is not wheelchair or elderly friendly for the sitting area. No outdoor seating. A very hustle & bustle kinda deal. We had the double patty smash. Overall was it "WTT?" Worth The Trip....YES! Absolutely!! The burger was amazing. It tasted like the smashburger in my mind. Perfection! So even at 30 minutes from my house and horrific parking, I would definitely come back. Grades: Double Patty: A++

We ended up going for a family Sunday lunch and now we go here instead of Longhorn. My parents are picky and they liked it.

Still trying to get here for wings happy hour one of these days. Big fan of the seating options too. There's outdoor, tables and booths near the bar, and tables and booths away from the bar, so you can pick depending on who you're with and how loud you want it.

Had to ask a bunch of other servers for deserts menu and final bill. Such a poor service from such an established tavern. Food was very average too. This was my fourth time visiting this place and yesterday was the worst. Our nachos were burnt and barely any cheese on it, brownie desert was almost cold and not warm enough and I couldn't find a server to request rewarming it. Flatbread was just okay. Our only saviour were our drinks which were amazing as always. We decided not to order main course, just get a dessert and get out. Overall our anniversary dinner was a disappointment.

One look at the crowd told us the food had to be good. Even though you order at a kiosk, the staff are incredibly hospitable. Everything looked so good that we had a hard time choosing. We knew we wanted lamb chops, and they offer two styles: Australian and New Zealand. We went with the Australian, and it did not disappoint. The order came with two thick-cut chops, so flavorful they didn't even need the sauce. The wings were a generous portion with a nice sweet-and-spicy kick, and the paratha roll was just as good and full of flavor. I honestly can't wait to go back and try more!

When I approached the register, the employee asked who I was picking up for. I showed her the order information on my phone, and she checked it before walking away. The problem was that she never came back or gave me any update. I was left standing there waiting, assuming the order was still being prepared. After waiting longer than necessary, I had to approach another employee to find out what was happening. I was then told that my food had actually been ready for several minutes. That was frustrating because a simple update or acknowledgment would have avoided the entire situation. What bothered me most was that when I finally brought up the issue, instead of acknowledging the inconvenience, I felt like I was being brushed off with a quick "have a good night." I understand that restaurants can get busy, and I'm not expecting perfect service every time. However, basic communication, attentiveness, and respect go a long way especially when someone is simply trying to pick up an order. I'm leaving this review because the pickup process needs improvement. Management should make sure employees are communicating with customers and following through after asking them for their order information. A little better customer service would make a big difference.
