Im not a fan of chain reviews but this needed one. Start off with place being spotless and in order. Tells me they care. Next you are greeted by someone at the counter to help you. Its all ordering in computer. Got a burger fries and drink. Bit expensive for fast food but the quality is high. The burger tasted like it was hand made. Delicious burger. Fries remind my of the burger king fries but way better. Most definitely be back to try the pizza

Tried wayback this week for the first time. Got a burger, chicken tenders, fries and fried pickles and ordered online for in store pick up. See a lot of reviews mentioning issues with wait time but we went to pick up our food when the website said and it was ready when we got there, no issues at all! The food was pretty good - out of everything i liked the burger best and would definitely get that again. Fried pickles were also really good and all the sauces i tried i liked. Glad to have a new easy, affordable food place in the area!

First time here and everything was delicious! I got the classic burger, fries, and Oreo shake (w/o whip cream). Everything was so tasty. I will definitely be back soon to try the pizza! Also, the service was so welcoming & sweet.

We decided to get burgers for lunch, never trying this yet. We had food for 5 grownups, wings, burgers, chicken tenders, fries,onion rings. The staff was extremely helpful and patient as we tried to decide what to get. We were able to split 15 wings into three groups of separated sauces, the onion rings were cooked perfect they did not pull out of breading and were crispy as were the fries. The burgers are not these large frozen burgers they are perfect size and cooked perfectly. Food only took 10min to cook and was 95$ for the entire order which I thought was going to be easy 150$. Absolutely thrilled that we finally have a good burger place in the area!!!!
