Wanted a burger, that wasn't from BK or McDonald's. Driving around, we saw this location and decided to give it a try. I have had it in Raleigh but hadn't noticed there was a location in Wilson. The closed at 9pm and I walked in around 8:30pm. Very well lit location. There was no wait and the staff were completing the closing actions. However, they were still welcoming and did not make it seem like I was a burden coming in this late. They took my order and answered any questions I had about the burgers. As they were cleaning, I decided that I would stay near the door to stay out of the way. When I say they were taking their time to clean - it was refreshing to know they take keeping a clean location for their customers to enjoy their food. It took about 20 mins to get my order complete (noted there was 4 burgers that needed to be prepared - so I wasn't upset at all) - meaning the food would be FRESH! All burgers were fresh with good flavor! It felt like you were eating something made with care. Everyone enjoyed their food and will definitely be back for more. read more

We had to deviate off the highway a little to find this spot and I'm glad we did. The customer service was excellent from the moment we walked in, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and well worth the short detour. I forgot the name of the burgers but I would visit again. read more

This place isn't bad but, I do caution you if you are a vegetarian, be very careful about ordering food from here. I went in and was very clear about the burger. I wanted, also please keep it away from the grease from the other burgers as I will be in the bathroom all afternoon. Very specific detail in my request for the burger. My order was acknowledged, accepted, and pushed through. There is only me and one other customer in there, and then they were making orders for pick up from whatever food app was in play. I'm having a conversation with a person who was gonna be running the grill and I believe he was the guy in charge and we were talking about burgers and asked you what I ordered, I told him that he went to look at their receipts that were there as he didn't recall seeing anything like that come across. He picked my receipt and came back and told me, I'm glad we talked because that is not at all what's on this order. What's on this order is a regular hamburger with no onions and the other things that I said. So the guy taking my order would it end up getting me a big fatty, which means I would've been redecorating the bathroom for a while. The guy took real good care to cook my burger away from any animal fat and was phenomenal on the way that he recovered that issue. Just a word of caution, they are not likely to cook your impossible burger away from the fat, you have to go in and place your order in person and be very specific with them. If there's a young high school looking guy taking your order, double check with it before he pushed it through because he he may give you a very unpleasant experience. read more

You order through a kiosk, which I despise doing. I got the cheese bites ( amazing ) the sweet and spicy melt( fresh, great taste a little to much butter used on the bun) hubby got classic cola burger he truly enjoyed it !! Grand go that chicken tenders ( crispy and juicy ) at the same time . Overall a good stop for food !! read more

Second visit same as the first!. This time tried the classic and had a bite of the chicken blt. Both excellent.

Excellent customer service, amazing quality, freshness and flavor. I got the chicken blt and it was perfection. Hot, crispy chicken, fresh lettuce & tomato, crispy bacon. So delicious. Hubby got and enjoyed the classic burger and we split the fries. Great pricing for all this. We will be back! read more

Wayback Burgers just hasn't missed for me. I always get the Carolina burger which comes with slaw chili mustard onion. I do miss the fresh fried chips you used to be able to get, but this is no reason not to go get a great cheeseburger. read more

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. read more

Good burgers, a step above regular fast food quality. Nice spot for lunch. Good service, relaxed ambiance.

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. read more

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. read more

We drove over to Wilson from Greenville just to get a great burger from Wayback. They were way back all right. Here are the details. On this particular Wednesday evening the restaurant wasn't that busy. Only two other customers in the store. When we approached the counter to give our order, the cashier gave us a really concerned look and said it would be at least an hour. Are you kidding me? For a hamburger? We were apparently "way back" in the line for food. Maybe they had a ton of call in orders, but an hour? I doubt it. We won't be back. read more

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. read more

Best little burger joint in Wilson, been here a few times. They offer a variety of burgers and the service has always been above par. They have an app., too that allows you to order in advance and earn rewards. Give it a shot! read more

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. read more

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.

Good place for lunch your typical ff burgers and fries. chili cheese was good on the fries. Burgers are thin and cooked with no pink. Get a double with chili fries for a good lunch break. Good prices better than sonic or wendys. read more

It was ok. Lack luster. No seasoning. Nothing to really write about. Wouldn't eat here again.

So my husband an I tried this place before all this COVID junk . The place was clean and the staff was polite. The prices are a lil high for a burger place in my opinion. My husband enjoyed his burger but I on the other hand was not impressive at all I wish they added some sort of seasoning to their meat I mean at least salt an pepper I found the meat to be so bland. When it was all said and done I wish I had just went across the parking lot to Burger King and got my bacon king burger. read more

Chicken Buffalo Sandwich is PARADISE Let's just begin by stating that I'm not a burger person. I don't eat burgers, so you may be wondering what on EARTH was I doing at Wayback Burgers?!?! I met a friend who wanted to eat here for lunch (I was told that they had options besides burgers). I tried the buffalo chicken sandwhich and it was the tangiest, spiciest piece of heaven I could have asked for. I don't each much friend food either but I GLADLY made an exception that day. read more

I think this is what burgers were like before Jane Fonda, back in the '70's made us embarrassed to eat. The burgers are dripping with grease and oozing with flavor. Go, don't wear nice clothes, don't try to take out and eat while you drive. Have a real burger, fries and thick shake, pass out and wake up greasy and ashamed, feeling slightly nauseous, the way you're supposed to. I ate there once and it made me feel like a Blues Brothers, on a mission from gaad! I think I might have hummed R-E-S-P-E-C-T, or at least that's what someone told me when I came-to. I had my cholesterol checked later that week. read more

Awesome service and the food is superb! The atmosphere is friendly and the place is clean.I love their veggie burger. I could hardly believe it was not real beef. It is so nice to enjoy good healthy food in the form of a burger and Wayback Burgers has figured it out! read more

My go to place for lunch every week I'm in Wilson for work. Their chicken tenders are so good !

Went here tonight (05/27/17) for the first time ever to a Wayback Burger. My wife and her parents. I had the bacon double, my wife and her mom both had the Carolina burger and her dad had the Cod sandwich. Everyone was very pleased with the food and service. The made everything fresh to order and we had our meals in no time. Maybe 10 minutes at most. The flavor of my bacon double was outstanding. Best burger I've had in years. I also had the homemade chips. They too were very good. My father-in-law said the fries were great as well as his Cod sandwich. Everyone was happy and full when we finished. I definitely recommend trying them out when in the Wilson area and looking for a great burger. We will go back again for sure. read more

Food was good, however, we waited over 20 minutes for sandwiches and then they missed making the onion rings, then they put the next order of onion rings on someone else's order and we had to wait for "the next" order to be ready, it had already been 10 minutes we waited!! Seemed very disorganized! After the previous positive comments - Sadly my first and last time at Way back Burgers!! read more
