    Cheese fries
    Kathy H.

    Food was meh; very underwhelming. Fast food quality for much higher price. The people that worked there were very nice and hard working. Save your hard earned money. You can get the same quality at a fast food place.

    Tater tots.. Barely covered the bottom of the container.
    Leeta W.

    Delivery: Mediocre AF...soggy bread, barely any bacon, and about 8 tater tots. Also got the overpriced milkshake that was "meh."

    This app wouldn't let me find the Wayback Burgers in Providence RI on Branch Avenue so I picked the one it gave me but this review is for Providence. We went to WayBack Burgers last night. I'll never go anywhere else for a burger again. Way better than 5 Guys and cheaper. The Burger meat was well cooked and juicy, the veggies were fresh and crispy. The buns were soft on the outside and toasted. This was truly Burger heaven. The fries and tots were crisp and tasty. The service was impeccable, you order, get seated and they bring the food to your table. It was an experience. We need many more of these at strategic locations around the state of RI. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

    FULL-SIZE CHILI CHEESE FRY

    The full size chili cheese fries was a surprisingly large portion. The cinnamon toast crunch milkshake is so freaking good!

    Look, I'm a snob when it comes to burgers. There's a vein of burger chains that sits sort of between the gourmet, sit down burger places and the super-cheap quick, fast food burger places (e.g. McDonald's, Burger King). These are sort of fast food type places, but they're not super cheap. To me the big names in this space are places like Five Guys, The Habit, Shake Shack, Smashburger, and In-N-Out (in no particular order). To be fair, I think Shake Shack and Smashburger are the lowest on list in terms of value and quality. Frankly, I don't think they (Shake Shack and Smashburger) are worth it. With that TLDR introduction in place, I have to say that Wayback is solidly in the middle. There's nothing flashy about it, it's solid, but there's also nothing special about it. It's a solid well-made burger without too many frills. That being said, I'm not sure I'd go back, I feel like I get about as good or better at home. That being said, I'd still probably pick it before Shake Shack or Smashburger but not Five Guys. To me, it's pricey for what you get.

    Double Bacon Burger & Chili Cheese Fries
    Joseph A.

    First time to try and didn't disappoint. Had Double Bacon Burger and Chili Cheese Fries - perfect combination to satisfy my craving! Patty, cheese, bun and over-all blend's just perfect. Will order again for sure.

    This place has been here a while and I've always overlooked it every time! I'm glad I finally took a chance to try it out because this burger chain is just as good as any made-to-order, freshly made, "better burger" joint out there such as Five Guys, Shake Shack, Mooyah's, Smashburger, etc. It doesn't take much to make a great burger, as long the meat is juicy, the buns and veggies fresh, cheese is melted and condiments are plentiful, and are accompanied with a generous portion of fries, I'm good! They have done all of that with good service in a nice, clean establishment. Glad to have this around and definitely will be back!

    This place is absolutely great! The burgers and hotdogs are superb. They don't deserve anything less than 5 stars

    This place was fantastic! So glad we found it. We enjoyed a great charcuterie board and the drinks…read morewere delicious! Chicken swarhma sandwiches were incredible. Everything hmmm is house made here! Wish I lived nearby....

    Pros: Cozy, British pub style atmosphere; interesting small plates, not too expensive…read more Cons: gets extremely crowded in the evenings; very loud when crowded; staff is snobbish I've been here a few times, and my most enjoyable experiences were during lunch. If you can sit at the bar or in one of the 2 tables by the window, you'll get excellent service. The charcuterie board is great, and the drink selection is also pretty good. However, the last time we came here, it was the middle of the afternoon on Valentine's day. I'm from Boston and Cape Cod and my partner is European; we look like it and we act like it. Upon a brief interaction with the hostess, we both felt spoken down to: "YOU'RE trying to come in on Valentine's day? Without a reservation?" This, coming from someone with a Worcester accent who was dressed like a boy going to church choir. We were shooed away into the dining area: "I guess you could stand over there and look at the menu". It's about 330 in the afternoon- most tables are completely empty. Then a different staff member, also with a working class accent, says "I need you to clear out of this walkway because this is for staff only", despite the fact that no staff were walking there and we had been standing there about 20-30 seconds. We left without saying anything as the hostess tried to say something to us. If you want to feel spoken down to, in the working class city of Worcester no less, come here. Alternately, if you're feeling aggressive and want to squeeze your way in to sit touching shoulder to shoulder, come here. The time before this, the hostess was a soft-spoken woman who mumbled a lot; we had to elbow people out of the way at the middle bar section, which is where she directed us. Maybe in another year I'll want to come back for lunch only. Honestly, I'd rather drive back to Boston if I'm going to be treated snobbishly.
