Let's take a trip down memory lane…read more I was 20 years old. My particular skill set (or lack thereof) had led me down the path of obtaining a Communications degree as an undergrad in the Steel City. Had I known at the time a degree in communications was the equivalent of a participation award in the real world, I would have totally exerted the extra 8% of energy it took to obtain a BA in business or one of the many other degrees that is applicable to - oh, how do you say - ah yes, succeeding in life. But I ask you this, business grads, could you have handled the onslaught of CLASS PRESENTATIONS that us Comm majors endured?! I DON'T THINK SO. Ok, maybe you could have. I'm just lamenting my choice of degrees. I have a fear of public speaking for god's sake. HMM.. WHAT'S A GOOD MAJOR FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE SPEAKING PUBLICLY?! Why, Communications, of course! Uh, where was I going with this? Oh right, the Five Guys tie-in. So I was young and new to city life. I didn't have a lot of direction. All I knew was I liked burgers. So when my super advanced marketing class that guaranteed I'd find an AWESOME JOB AND WOULDN'T DIE DESTITUTE IN A DITCH asked me to do a complete marketing campaign on any company of my choosing, I went with Five Guys. There was a location in Oakland, right on campus that I'd walk by everyday from my SWEET SWEET apartment in Bouquet Gardens on my way to the Cathedral of Learning. I don't know if it's even there anymore. But I chose Five Guys for my marketing project because I thought it was this intimate, local brand unique to Pittsburgh. I legit thought it was a standalone restaurant that had one location. BOY WAS I WRONG. I got called out immediately two minutes into my presentation. All I could do was throw my hands up and plead ignorance. Had to explain to them that I was from the eastern part of the state where Five Guys had never before existed. Boy, that was fun. On one hand I felt like a complete fool who had lived my entire life up to that point in a bubble of ignorance. But on the other hand, I did get a really good ACTUAL single-location local burger joint recommendation from my classmates MID-PRESENTATION, mind you (Tessaro's, for anyone wondering). Ok, back to the topic at hand. And we gotta address the elephant in the room when it comes to Five Guys - price. $11 for a burger is a lot, no doubt. And $9 for a hot dog? No.. just no. Let's face it, unless it's like a 12" dog with massive girth, paying $9 for a hotdog isn't worth it. Five Guys is always going to fall between fast food and sit-down casual dining in terms of price and quality. Does Red Robin have better burgers? Eh, maybe. But it also requires you to eat at Red Robin. And trust me, no one wants to go down that dark path. One positive is they've been super cool by offering free delivery for the past, oh, I dunno, 7 months or so? That's when I first noticed it, anyway. That's not something many restaurants have done. MOD Pizza offered free delivery for about a week in January. Got me hooked on it. Then never offered it again. Thanks, MOD! Stingy bastards. If you are EVER craving a burger, Five Guys has to be one of the first places that pops in your head. Fast food burgers at McDonald's and Wendy's are slowly creeping up to Five Guys prices. I mean, for real for real, a Wendy's Dave Double or whatever the hell it's called is about $8 now. McDonald's is even worse. Burgers going for $9 at Micky D's? OH, HELL NAW. That's when that $11 burger at Five Guys doesn't seem so bad. And it comes with two patties and unlimited FREE toppings. That's where you get your money's worth. Seriously, if you are craving no-frills burger and don't want to take a second mortgage out on your house, then by all means, any fast food dollar menu will do. But if you're a topping addict like me who goes absolutely hog-wild on adding an obscene amount of fresh ingredients such as sautéed mushrooms & onions, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato, green peppers, AND MORE, then Five Guys has got to be the way to go.

If you like Five Guys, you will like Wayback Burgers... to an extent. It's Five Guys' little…read morebrother. I like Wayback because customizations go beyond adding mainstays like lettuce, tomato, and onion. It still boggles my mind that all the fast food giants still nickel and dime you for those three basic toppings. So yeah, props to the casual burger chains that still offer these up for free. And like Five Guys, you can add "premium" toppings like jalapenos, grilled onions, and mushrooms at no additional charge as well. In addition to burgers and fries, Wayback serves up chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and fried cheese curds. I was also impressed by the interior. It's pretty sleek with this sort of retro, wood-panel aesthetic to it. Wayback Burgers fits snuggly between, let's say the Burger Kings of the world and the boutique joints like Five Guys and Shake Shack. The only thing holding it back is quality and consistency. I remember my burger patties being dry to the point of breaking down and crumbling. This probably has to do with the fact that the patties seemed noticeably... small? Like 3 oz., tops. Maybe I'm imagining it but that's sure what it felt like. Getting a double here is basically a must.

The amount of ingredients put on a sandwich is ridiculous. They put maybe 8 small (smaller than…read morebite sized) meatballs on a foot long sub. We also got a foot long chicken teriyaki and they put about 4 -5 small pieces of chicken on each 6 inch. I also asked for extra sauces and did not get what I asked for. The ingredients have definitely gotten much less than they used to use on a sub. You could definitely taste more bread then ingredients. Needless to say I will think two or three times about going to subway for a sandwich next time.

I don't drink so I really liked the selection of "mocktails"- they are beautiful and bottomless!

Not sure what they are thinking as to how that drives business. Anyway the food was delicious, hot and filling and Cody provided superior service.

That was fine understandable, when it was finally our turn the girl at the sign was very sweet pleasant to speak with. However, when we got the food my coleslaw was leaking out the bottom of the bag so I got to wear coleslaw the rest of the day, the burgers that's another story mine had so much mustard on it that is all you tasted even after I wiped it off the root beer float was like water. Both burgers were flattened like someone stepped on them before they sent them out. I will no longer recommend them or go there again.
