Wayback Burgers

If you like Five Guys but don’t want to spend $25 per person, Wayback is an excellent substitute. Imagine if BurgerFi and Wingstop (on the french fry and seasoning side) had a baby, you would have Wayback. Sir Mix-a-lot would love the burgers here because they are real thick and juicy. The fries taste remarkably like Wing Stop’s, which I love. I had the Bourbon burger, which apart from the bourbon mustard (my personal tastes did not care for it - a little over powering), was delicious. Cajun tots very good too (again, seasoning tasted like Wing Stop). Called ahead and had great and accurate service. Food was hot and ready when i walked in. Clean environment. We will be back

We decided to give this a try after the other 2 places I went for my wife’s birthday dinner were closed early with no posted change. We got the single cheeseburger box with fries and double cheeseburger box with tots. The pricing was very reasonable, would take it over 5guys most days. The food was prepared relatively quickly. Brought it home to eat. I was a little surprised at the amount of fries given (filled up the box) for an $8 box versus the amount of tots given (looks like 10?) in the $10 double box. Food was good. Decent burger for sure. Would get again.

I spent $9 on a large cheese curd to receive the same size as a small/regular. I called to inform them and they said that was the correct size. Why is this $9 and most of them the cheese is missing.

Service and staff were nice, place is clean, atmosphere is as you might expect for a fast casual place, though a little too brightly lit (being nitpicky). The tots were good, but the some of the cheese curds were exploded and missing the actual cheese. The burgers were bland and underseasoned, no maillard on the patties to speak of and had little to no salt, buns were on the soggy side. Maybe I got them on an off day? I had my hopes up for a place to give five guys a run for their money, but this ain't it.

We ordered burgers, fries and tots, so we're no help when it comes to chicken. Wait staff was friendly and welcoming. Thumbs up there. Food was fresh but lacked oomph, especially the burgers. Bun was fine, lettuce and tomato on ours were fresh and the patties were cooked well. They lack flavor though, an absolutely nondescript burger that I assume is better when slathered in sauce and with onion rings on it. The fries were good, nothing to say there. The tots were great, except there was grease in the basket. Seems like a little more "dry" time was needed before serving. Not the end of the world. Overall, it's fine. They're aiming for a middle ground between Wendy's, McD's, etc., and places like Five Guys. Except Five Guys does what they do really well and pack flavor into their limit
