We went to the Wayback Burgers in Braselton (Chateau Elan) after a day at a local water park. The A1 Steakhouse burgers and onion rings were great, and the staff made sure that everything was perfect for us. Overall great experience and will definitely be back. read more

I'm new to the area & this has hands down been one of my favorite spots to eat at on the daily. The burgers are more than amazing, they're different & extremely delicious. The owner is really kind & open hearted to serving the customers. The inside is always peaceful, almost like going to a coffee shop but for burgers! read more

One of the best burgers I've had in a while!! Burger was cooked perfectly. Bacon was crispy with perfect topping proportions. Not really sure how else to put it. Restaurant was clean. Service was friendly and fast. I'll be back. read more

Wayback Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Braselton, Georgia

First time customer today and loved it. Food... The burgers were delicious, juicy and cooked to perfection. We had the Southwest Burger and the Spicy Melt. Both wete present just like the menu pics. We had chili cheese tots and onion. Again both were incredible and served with a generous portion. Service... The staff was friendly and very attentive. Appreared to genuinely want to be helpful. Atmosphere... Place was clean amd welcoming. Kinda of an upscale diner feel. And prices were more than fair. For the first time in a while i felt like i definitely got my money's worth. They made a fan out of me. First read more

Your meal is prepared fresh to order so it's not very fast. Sparse furnishings and decor detract from the experience. It's a burger joint.

Deliciously prepared burgers and the tots are crispy and yummy. Friendly staff as well. read more

Wayback Burgers - Dbl bacon and tots and red velvet shake - Burgers Near Me - Braselton, Georgia

Awesome food, quick service, and overall great and quiet atmosphere. The menu had lots of variety and customization options.

So the owner before this most recent one to throw in the towel appeared to be indifferent to cleanliness and sanitation (tho this was a few years ago, tbf). This last last owner appeared to simply not care much at all (maybe he thought running a burger joint would be a cakewalk? - I mean, the gentleman appeared he couldn't be bothered to wave a "hello" or otherwise greet or say goodbye to frequent patrons)... really not a great trait for a SMB owner-operator to say the least. But we're at Wayback for great burgers, not "small biz 101" and once again this location is closed without updating the website (or Google etc as others have mentioned). Plus, as others have also mentioned, many locals purchased Groupons valid only at this location (a last effort revenue boost to make the location look more enticing to new buyers?) for this location and are apparently now left "holding the bag" after this last owner cashed-out. We stopped going to the place that rhymes with "Burger Pi" (a bit further down 85) because of their egregious mistreatment of their top 2% of loyal customers with abrupt loyalty program "reset", and were happy with the quality at this particular Wayback burger (despite the apparently apathetic owner?) only to have it unceremoniously shut down once again... read more

We've been coming to way back for a while now. Food is good but this last time we went, they tried to charge us more than the menu price for a food item we always get. The lady did not want to honor the price on the menu so we walked out. It's already $10 JUST for a burger then she was trying to charge almost $7 for chili cheese tots when they are listed at $5.99 on THEIR MENU. Don't come here. read more

The restaurant smelled so nice and freshly cleaned. We've lived close by for so long and have never tried this burger place and it was delicious! Can't wait to try the shakes. The fries were super fresh and hot. The buffalo sauce is the perfect spicy flavor and doesn't have an over powering vinegar taste. The ranch is a perfect side to compliment the sandwich. The onion rings with the perfect crunch and super flavorful! Would definitely recommend this spot! read more

We took a chance on Wayback Burgers - so glad we did. The place was very clean, the staff was super nice. The food was cooked fresh - and was GREAT! The burgers are HUGE! $40 for a family of 4 - a typical fast food would have been just as much!! We will be making the trip back!! read more

The hours are incorrect on google, it says they close at 9pm on Monday. I arrived at 8:37 pm and I was told that they close at 8:30 on Monday and Wednesday. I told her the hours were wrong on google and she said I know and walked off. A family of 5 walked up right after and were also turned away, they need to update their ours, people plan their dinner around the information provided. read more

Waited 22 mins for my food, ordered a burger, loaded fries, and a grilled cheese kids meal. The kids meal was cold and the fries had no flavor. For $30 their food isn't that good. read more

We were excited to try this restaurant but immediately felt we should go some place else. The cashier was not friendly or knowledgeable about the menu. We were charged extra for the combos when the prices were on the board and paper menu. I was told it was for drinks. Nope, drinks included. Watch your receipts. We will not be back. They clearly do not want our business. Food, meh. read more

A delicious trashy burger place. Perfect for when you don't wanna cook and eat something greasy. Loved the bacon burger with everything on top. The fires weren't crispy but I think it's what they were going for. read more

Excellent service, food, and atmosphere. Great location, has outdoor seating and a very friendly atmosphere.

Nice and Clean inside. Food is good! Staff is friendly! It's also under new management, so give this place a try! read more

Great burgers, cool place, new owners, awesome milkshakes too. Food came fast and was piping hot, tried the fried cheese curds and we all Loved them, never had before read more

Well, my last review was very good, but this has gone down quickly. Right away when you walk in, they have a sign informing you there is a 30 minute wait. There was only one other 2-person family in there. When you go to order, the owner reminds you, "it's a 30 minute wait". He is not friendly at all and you can tell that he is just absolutely miserable. I actually feel really badly for him. But at the end of the day, this is a fast food type restaurant and you can't serve people as if they're at a sit-down restaurant where people expect the long wait. The food was okay, but not near as good as it used to be. None of our buns were toasted and they were actually cold as if pulled out of a fridge and put on our sandwich. Definitely unenjoyable. We watched as people would enter, read the long wait sign and walk right back out. So I'm thinking that this business won't be open much longer and maybe he's trying to deter business. Idk, but I wish it was like it used to be. We won't be returning. read more

The food and choices are really good, but be prepared to wait awhile for your order. Almost 35 minutes from the time we walked through the door. To me, it is an upscaled Five Guys. A plus is they offer Impossible Burgers which is a big deal when someone in your party is vegetarian. Another issue...I can't figure out the charges. The menu board appears that most toppings are included in the price with a few items extra charge. My receipt shows charges for things that I thought were not extra charges. Compare the screenshot of an order online and the actual receipt we received. Pennies difference, but just a little fishy, read more

I was up this way doing an onsite, and was craving something new. I had heard of Wayback Burgers before but had never seen one. Always on the prowl for good burgers, I stopped in. There wasn't too much unique about the inside of this place, but the menu options seemed really good. I decided to order the Carolina Burger Combo, and went to grab a seat. First two things that stuck out here: the person at the register had no character whatsoever. In fact, it seemed like they were in a daydream when i walked up. Literally didn't say anything to me, so I just felt awkward even disturbing him. Secondly, the table I sat at wasn't really clean. I bumped two stars for the service, and 1 for the dirty table. My burger came out and it looked good, but certainly messy. It had cole slaw on it, chili, cheese and onions. My first bite had it going everywhere. I did like the taste of it, but I wouldn't say it was much different from any other fast food burger I've had. I was expecting a little bit better quality here. They do have other options, including hot dogs and sandwiches, and wished I had gone that route instead. Overall, my first impression wasn't very high. I'm not up this way much as it is, and won't venture out to find another Wayback Burger in the future. read more

It took 30 minutes for a single burger and fries. Make sure you give plenty of time to eat. read more

I keep going back here cause I want a legit burger. It always is just OK. BUT THEN I saw they did Cheese Streak. Oh man I love a Cheese Steak. It was was just OK. Their nachos Irish I think? are better. Its just always unsatisfying.... read more

Wayback Burgers - Meh Cheese Steak Yummy chips. - Burgers Near Me - Braselton, Georgia

The last two times I have TRIED to go here the place has been closed. Keep in mind I'm in the parking lot now at 3:05 on a Wednesday and they are closed. I cannot remember the exact day/time for the other instance but it was not an unreasonable hour. No sign on the door and no update to their website shows complete lack of care for customer convenience by ownership. I'll never be back read more

I placed my order online get there to pick up they don't have it and he prints me out where it was refunded so I show him where it's not but hey it was a Sun and the owner gave me his number to make sure I get it back well that was 2 weeks ago now I never get the owner and this disrespectful girl working in there never lets me speak to him PLEASE NO ONLINE ORDERS!!!! I still want my money back! read more

We are here last night and I can say I will never go back. We ordered at 7:04 and did not get our burgers until close to 8:00. The staff seemed really clueless and I'm assuming it was the owner came over to offer us free milkshakes and apologized. This was nice and all, but I'm afraid if this place doesn't get their act together it will be closed down. It seemed very unorganized and people were all getting angry their food was taking soooo long. I have RARELY left a bad review on Yelp unless it was an extremely bad experience if that tells you anything. The burgers are really nothing special either especially to wait an hour for. I'm not even sure I can truly have it deserve the one star I gave it. read more

Went here with my family of six thinking it would be a decently priced meal. Only to find out that the menu prices are wrong. Plus they will charge you for any extras even though the menu indicates that only bacon and chili are extra. Pretty shady because after I ordered my cost went up by $12 just for toppings. This includes everything from onions, mushrooms to even whipped cream on the shakes. I wasn't asked if I wanted whipped cream - just charged for it. When I talked the manager he said that's the way it is. Pretty disappointing because the food was very mediocre. read more

It was clear immediately that this place is under new ownership and I was disappointed. I paid 13$ for a chicken sandwich asked for Swiss and got American and fries and the sandwich had what amounted to a medium chicken tender on it. I literally ate it in 3 bites. Clearly a way to save money to skimp....Very sad that they would let that kind of mistake leave the kitchen. Never coming back and not recommending anyone. Also they got rid of Mr Pibb and another drink selection and now have 3 Coca-Cola slots. I came for the PIBB read more

Headed to the Mill creek/Northview football game. The crew wanted burgers so we thought we would give WAY BACK a try! We ordered chili dogs, cheeseburgers, fries and those nice fat onion rings and it was meh so so. The prices are more than expected. I thought it would have more flavor in the fresh meat patties. Onion rings were nicely GOLDEN BROWN. Everyone ate every bite of the food. (We arent wasteful) The order wasnt too long of a wait though it had a bit of a crowd on a friday evening. I see they have a 9 pattie burger, thats not something i would eat, but hey go for it carnivores (why not) read more

Wayback Burgers - Cheeseburger add jalapeno's - Burgers Near Me - Braselton, Georgia

Two stars *only* because the food was pretty good. Otherwise this is a one star place all day long. Problems: Pricing is (intentionally) tricky. For example let's say the burger you choose might say $5.00, but you end up paying quite a bit more. No itemized receipt was given (maybe also intentional?). My guess is each toping is being charged for, which *the menu doesn't say in any way*. Slow. Although I did like the fact that it was good tasting and fresh...wow was it slow. Only one person ordered in front of us and we still waited around 20 minutes. Cold. It was overcast, windy, and around 60 outside and the place had both door *propped* wide open using chairs. I thought about shutting them but of course this is not something I felt comfortable doing since clearly the management chose to do this. Ill equipped. None of the soap dispensers worked. Table was wobbly. We tried more than one and had to settle for the "least wobbly". In general the whole dining room just seemed kind of neglected. Chincy. Although this is a place you'll end up spending around $15 for a burger, fries, and drink there were no salt and pepper shakers...just the tiniest paper packets I've ever seen at the kiosk...about half the size of what you'd get at fast food. Ketchup...rip and squeeze packets like you get at entry level fast food places. Plastic silverware too. There were a few other things like this, but I will stop now...I'd hope you get the point by now. Taking all of these things into account, the only way I could recommend this place to someone is if ordering in advance and picking it up. Otherwise you get a sub fast food experience and may catch a cold in the process. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would, from walking in the place and seeing people sitting at there tables with no food was probably the hint I needed to turn around and run. Got to the register and explained to the guy what I wanted and they were out of 3 different toppings. I had to explain to him how I wanted a burger even tho I kept asking for the way it comes off the menu. Get to the point where you waiting for your food. When I say I waited exactly 30 mins for two burgers that probably could have been better made at Wendy's or McDonald's I'm not lying. IF YOU CANNDO YOU SELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY IF YOU NOT LOOMING TO WAIST YOUR DAY AWAY WAITING FOR HORRIBLE FOOD AT OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH PRICES. read more

Cute little place. The pictures on the menu looked mouthwatering but the food didn't quite live up if I'm being honest. Got the cheesy burger and it was good but just good. Kinda mediocre. Didn't seem to have any real flavor. Fries were all pretty burnt. My husband said the chili dog was fantastic though, and the fried pickles and jalapeño poppers were really good. Overall underwhelming but not terrible, just not to my taste. read more

Pro's Hamburger was juicy and delicious Gave the option of the "build your own burger" Fresh ground beef, was not a frozen patty Staff was beyond friendly Con's Frozen onion rings (absolutely hate them) .50¢ for a specialty "dipping" sauce Requested onions on my burger - no onions Requested a side of jalapeños - no jalapeños A bit pricey Bathroom cleanliness was subpar I'm sure I will be hungry in 4-5 hours Overall, I would go back. Food was delicious and staff was awesome. However $10 for a hamburger and onion rings is kinda silly to me, maybe at a sit down restaurant but not for a fast food type restaurant. read more

Wayback Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Braselton, Georgia

Traveled from New York to Braselton to visit my sister , around the corner I found this place .. it was AMAZING. I loved the old school flat top grill burger. If you love burgers & chicken sandwiches I would definitely recommend this place read more

Give this place a try if you are looking for a decent burger. The Cajun tater tots are amazing.

This was our first time eating at a Wayback and probably the last. So expensive for less than mediocre food. The cheese on the burgers was not even melted. It tastes like they don't use any seasoning on the burgers can't even taste salt and pepper. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was a joke. It was basically a large chicken tender soaked in a sauce no crunch to it or anything. Probably one of the worst places to eat ever. Stay away if you can. read more

Just left the restaurant without finishing my meal because I found a long think hair in my burger. Took back the burger to the chef and they didn't seem surprised and he showed me that they found more hair on the cheese that they have in a stock. Very disappointed. Instead of returning me the refund for the whole meal they only refund the amount of the burger. Never coming back to this location !!!!! Wish I could've taken a picture before returning it to them. read more

Went there on a weekday and the place is closed. Not a soul in sight. I do believe it's a responsible act to show some sort of indication to your customers that you guys are not open at the time. Your website, Google, and your actual store hours on the doors say your store hours and not a single thing has been changed to let us know. I spent money on a Groupon that I will lose out on because again NO indication was given that this establishment is closed. Don't waste your money on the Groupons. read more
