    BYOB double, at Jake's Wayback Burgers in Bristol, CT.
    Tom D.

    I believe I've been to this Jake's Wayback burger location three times since living in Bristol. Last night, stopped in with the wife, we did the BYOB -- she got a single cheese w/ mayo, ketchup, lettuce, & tomato. Mine was a double with pepperjack cheese, mushrooms and chipotle mayo. We shared a side of fries, and my wife ordered a strawberry milkshake. I've read a lot of bad reviews here on Yelp for Jake's Wayback Burgers in Bristol, but to be fair, we felt that everything we had last night was alright, decent tasting. My wife did feel her milkshake was thin, but it still had good flavor. Fries, burgers were OK. Total $ is a bit on the expensive side, to be honest. Crew working there were all friendly. Since we only live 4 miles away, I'm sure we'll stop back in again if we had a hankering for a burger.

    I was kind of apprehensive to visit Wayback Burger as I've noticed it is always empty inside and the prices are a little on the high side. I saw the $6.99 lunch special signs lately, they're in walking distance from my house, and my car happens to be in the shop right now, so out of all the little lunch joints in the plaza my son and I settled on Jake's. I'm pretty glad we did. The store was empty as usual and there was a manager on lunch (Tuck your shirt in!) plus 2 other employees- the perfect amount of people for the volume of customers. The cashier wasn't exceptional but nice enough, and he made some tasty milkshakes. The oreo mudpie was fabulous. I thought they used to come with the metal cup so you get the extra good stuff, but ours came in chintzy kid size cups. They were delicious but way too small for $3.59/junior serving. It was close to $5 for a regular serving and I refused to spend $10 for 2 of them, so I got the junior size. It really was a tease of a shake, but regardless, it was spot on taste wise. The food took quite a while to prepare, considering there were no other orders before or after mine. But, let me tell you- it was worth every second of that approx.15 minute wait. Our food came out steaming hot. I have never gotten food so fresh and hot from a restaurant. That's usually a problem I only have when I cook my own meals! My philly burger looked picture perfect, with cheese goo oozing down the sides all over the plentiful mushrooms and onions. My son's chicken tenders were also steaming hot.

I called and asked for a refund cause I just was done and didn't want to deal with it. The manager literally told me they couldn't refund cause I ordered through toast. I own a restaurant and you can 100% refund on toast, it's not hard. Whatever, they wanted to remake, I didn't want to go back out, they sent it via delivery service. Food was still cold. The incompetence at this location is mind boggling. If you want to try them go to the Unionville or Simsbury location. Will absolutely not be back. My previous visits have encountered wrong food, was just hoping they would figure it out

I feel the need to leave this review here now just in case I forget to leave a actual proper long review. This is our third time, a humble looking joint so we come here always just expecting it's going to be " meh". But we keep coming back, collecting calories around our waist because everything is so good here! Service - always awesome. Everyone here looks like they work cohesively, everyone is smiling working hard . Coffees always refilled. Food- fantastic, always fresh, on point. This time I got an omelette with tomatoes and this is the first time I had an omelet where the tomatoes don't get mushy. Their hash browns are also amazing! ... while we like the shredded we LOVE the fried- like mini French fries. While all of their proteins are awesome - their turkey bacon deserves a special shout out because it often misses the mark at most places.. but not here . And then there are the little things - clean bathrooms, condiments on the table are clean and not sticky or gross !! Anyway, come here.

Don't let the outside of this place fool you because looks are definitely deceiving. We were cautious coming to this place due to the appearance of the outside, but once we were in it was so much fun. Agus, aka rawbartender, was Ah-mazing and truly made the night fun. He was truly such a vibe!! I ordered the SpongeBob, which was Goslings rum, pineapple spice, ginger, lime, angostura bitters. Especially with the show that was put on, my drink tasted even better. It was a Smokey, yet smooth and refreshing drink! We also got the Snow White, on the sweeter side made with Pear vodka, orgeat, pear juice, lemon juice, cinnamon. And of course, we can't forget our schooling in tequila and Mezcal from Agus. He was very informative of what he was serving and we tried a few different shots. He gave us the rundown of how you're actually supposed to taste tequila. And I have to say I've never had an experience like that before. I wish the party didn't stop and I will definitely be coming back specifically for Agus and of course the drinks!
