    The Cheesy Burger
    Liberty H.

    Wooooo! First of all, if you don't know where Wilson NC is, you need to quickly find out how far away you are and then gps yourself to this little burger spot! I am STINGY with my five star reviews because it takes more than good food to earn all . Wayback Burgers, if you're reading this- kudos. Whatever you're doing, you're doing it right. The staff: young teens who were respectful, courteous and "yes ma'am" southern hospitality you expect from NC. The Food: on point! Grilled perfectly, vegetables so fresh. Made to order. Cleanliness: Lookin good! i wouldn't say spotless but the staff was regularly wiping down tables keeping up nicely.

    BACON CHEESE FRIES

    Food was delicious and priced well. Service was excellent and staff was friendly and came to our table several times. We will go back! Good old fashion burgers and fries. We love this place and today 4-21-23 tried the Mac and cheese balls and bacon cheese fries. Yum!!

    Really good burger with unique presentation. During our visit the staff was very kind, health grade was a 98.5, and the burgers / sides were quite good. The onion rings, fries and chips were all homemade. We ordered a couple of milkshakes. The milkshakes seemed like they had a spice in them that was not to our liking. We would visit again.

    Veggie Burger - Craft Your Own Sandwich

    I was looking fir a good veggie burger while in town and stumbled upon Wayback Burgers. I got a double veggie burger "our way" with house made chips. The burger was very feeling and I definitely could've settled on a single patty. It looked small on the website but truly isn't. The patties were flavorful but the burger as a whole was underwhelming, even with the wayback sauce. The house made chips, however, were the star of the show. They were soooo good! Perfectly seasoned and fried.

    Carolina Burger with tots and a side of ranch

    Our experience at Wayback Burgers on 6/25/2022 was a pleasant surprise. We went years ago when it first opened and were not impressed. This visit, however, was much better. I chose the Carolina Burger which features chili and slaw.. the bread was super soft and fresh and the chili had a great flavor. The meat wasn't overcooked and overall it was a great burger. Tots are tots.. I asked when ordering if I could have a mixture of onion rings and tots since they do have an "O-fries" option on the menu but for whatever reason she was unwilling to accommodate, which was a bummer. I don't know how often they do it but they were giving away free chocolate milkshakes when we went so we of course partook and they were exceptional.. real hand mixed shakes. Great beverage options. The place was clean and had a good vibe. It was a little pricier than comparable burger joints. I'd love to go back and try something else.

    Low key pricey gourmet burger joint. Location was clean. Staff was professional. Social distancing is practiced. They have everything from burgers to chili cheese fries. For my meatless viewers they have a great Caesar salad and veggie burger.It reminds you of a five Guys establishment. Wait time is about 10 minutes. Plenty of seating. My burgers were good and nicely wrapped in a cool recycled newspaper But fries were not cooked all the way.Onion rings were delicious and fresh.

    Ordered pickup. Food was cold. Didn't give us sauces. Burger didn't have all toppings. For as expensive as it was, definitely not worth it.

I needed to rent a…read moreu-haul and the man mention they were by "Burger Boy" - hmmm never heard of that...soooo let me check it out :) When we arrived it there wasn't much going on. The store front was clear of customers and only one other was in front of us in the drive thru line. Being our first time, it was a little hard to read the menu from a car behind, so we needed to wait until we got to the window to see what they had to offer. AND BOY do they have a lot different things to offer. We decided on a double cheeseburger combo with fries and drink - total after tax about $15. Hm...okay no problem. Once you paid, you were instructed to drive around the building to the other side where you would pick-up your food once done. We waiting maybe 10 mins (if even that) and our food was brought out to us. The staff were friendly and it looked like a clean establishment from where we sat waiting. Now...the food. I can't say the price reflected the amount of food you got. The burger was somewhat on the small size, the fries were okay, and the drink was just a drink. Nothing to really write home about. Maybe next time we will try something different to have a full experience (if we are on that side of town).

We ordered a few items to get taste of what they had to offer: Philly Cheesesteak Double Cheeseburger Hot Dog Fried Chicken Fries, Fried Okra, and Potato Wedges Those fried okra were the TRUTH! Fried perfectly - could eat those over having the fries or wedges any day. The burger was okay, very thick but a little overcooked for my liking. The hot dogs taste like they were deep fried. I know a lot of people don't like it that way - but wanted to make note of it. It was good overall. The fried chicken was hot, juicy, and very crispy. The seasoning was a little salty for my liking but the chicken under it was good. Now that cheesesteak is where it is! Good seasoning on the meat, the bread was tender, and the veggies cooked good.

Well, The Ol' Mangaretta had a craving for potato wedges, and on pure chance, searched and ordered from the first restaurant with wedges on the menu. Enter Chicken 2 Go. Wedges with a vengeance, avenging Mang's hunger! Add to those wedges a plethora of mains and sides that my two dining companions and I ordered: crisp, juicy fried chicken (though I wouldn't have minded a few more herbs in the flour); cheesy good chicken cheesesteak; so-so chicken fried rice; yummy collard greens; savory, crunchy, yet pillowy hush puppies; average onion rings; and meh mac and cheese. But those we'll-seasoned wedges were all my dreams hoped they'd be. So, four stars for delicious chicken, cheesesteak, greens, hush puppies, and craveable wedges that were even more tantalizing the next day after a trip through the air fryer. Minus one star for a few lackluster sides. Wedge ya just try Chicken 2 Go already?
