We gave Wayburger a try and honestly, it just didn't impress. The concept feels like it's aiming for a cross between a smash burger spot and Steak 'n Shake, but it misses the mark. The burger itself was decent, but mine came out pink in the middle--would've appreciated a heads-up that I needed to specify doneness. The fries and tots were underwhelming, and the Oreo milkshake was just average. We ordered the Cheesy Burger with tots and a build-your-own single with fries. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out either. For a place that seems to be trying to land in the "fun diner" category, it came across more like fast food with higher prices. Not bad, just not memorable--and not enough to make us want to come back. read more

My son's favorite burger place. Great burgers and milkshakes. And quick service as well.

The burgers here were actually good, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth because of the misleading promotion. They hand out flyers saying you get a free classic burger with your first $10 purchase. When we showed the flyer, the employee told us we needed to create a rewards account -- which isn't a big deal it takes 5 minutes max to sign up -- but then insisted we not sign up right then and there, as if she didn't want to wait, even though the restaurant was completely empty. She also told us the reward would take days to show up. We went ahead and paid, but while sitting down I finished signing up anyway... and surprise: the reward appeared immediately at checkout. Meaning we could've used it right then, despite being told otherwise. I don't need the free burger, but the misinformation and weird marketing tactic felt shady. If you're going to advertise a promo, it should be clear and honest. Great food, but not a great first impression in terms of transparency. And honestly, I might have expected this kind of rushed, dismissive behavior if the restaurant had been packed -- but it was completely empty. That should've been the perfect opportunity to give good service, create a lasting returning customer, and not cut corners. I would've happily come back after trying the food itself. But after this experience, I can't see myself returning unless the situation is acknowledged and fixed -- because great food doesn't matter if the customer can't trust the business. read more

I placed an order online and they told me my food would be ready in 30mins and came to pick it up and they told me to wait another 30 mins, everyone was getting food before me and I was just sitting around while eveyone else was eating their food, I would've loved a refund or something extra for the wait but it didn't seem worth me fighting for since the cashier guy didn't seem to care and neither did the kitchen, also they didn't even apologize for me being there for that long. First and last time I will be coming. Thanks :) read more

The burger options are good. Don't see the importance of an inverted bun. The Tatar tots are great! Had the Cajun and chilly cheese really good. The burgers are okay but, the meat patty fell flat needs seasoning. Service is good. Place is clean and well light. Does not out do the other major burger joints. read more

Closed at lunch, busy for on-line customers. Locked door. Locals would like to have a lunch, why only on-line customers?

Best burgers in town! Came in the other day and had a Wayback Classic, tots and a milkshake. All items were delicious. Thank you! read more

Service is always 's! Laid back ambiance. Food always perfect. I've never had a single disappointment with any food item, drink, side, employee interaction, speed of service. Great quality food that tastes great! What more could you ask for? read more

Came across this place by accident. Great menu selection, delicious burgers and fries for sure. Compared to Five Guys, this place is just as good and it's 25% less. I'll definitely be back and suggest you try it out for yourself! #yum read more

Wayback Burgers - Classic cheeseburger and Cajun fries - Burgers Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

The food is really good. The burgers are made old style and fresh. The shakes are to die for and we have always had a good experience with service at this restaurant. The place is nice and clean. read more

I ordered thru UBER- Bacon cheeseburger with no bacon was delivered, Food was AWFUL!!!

Great food and service. Awesome menu selections. Great amount of space from other guest.

Based on some yelp reviews I was expecting a gas station stop. It was not, it's a nice seated location, with a slight retro vibe. I got all three milkshake types, all really good but different from each other. I think the Cinnamon Toast Crunch one was the best in flavor. Fried pickles were alright, it was thickly battered so I feel as though there wasn't enough 'pickly' flavor. The fries were standard, nothing to complain about. The chicken BLT, however, was very very good. The chicken itself is very juicy and flavorful. All the ingredients worked well together to make a great sandwich. Will be coming back. read more

I went to this restaurant because they allow pets, only on the patio, and you have to order inside without your pet. I had the chili cheese tots. It's a cheese sauce, not cheese, which was very disappointing considering the price. The chili didn't have much meat, but it did have tomatoes and onions that were visible but it tasted very bland. Like the chili didn't have any chili in it. My sister had the bacon cheeseburger and it was OK, but she said, (again, considering the price) the burgers were small. I will probably never return, since I only visit the area once a year. Still looking for a place my poor pup can be in the air conditioning with me. read more

I know the idea is for this to be a similar burger joint that we had in the 50s and 60s but I lived through the 50s and 60s but it's not nearly the same. The burger was OK but nicely put together. Onion rings we're barely equal to others. Quite pricey for the experience to leave feeling unsatisfied. Very nice staff and owner or manager, but overall not worth the effort. I want to emphasize no one did anything wrong, it's just for me, what I received was not worth what I put out. And that's subjective, I understand. The place was very clean and neat though, and that was impressive. read more

If I could rate 0 stars, I would. I didn't appreciate being stared at by the tall, bald man as if I was invading his area from when I walked in to when I left. We ordered and waited for our food... I was starving and immediately got to picking up the burger and the plates got pulled and my husband pulled a fry out before they took them away because they belonged to another table. They took the plates and set them down to give them to the other table and I don't know if they thought they were gonna accept it but they were sent into the kitchen to make another fresh plates by the table... so disgusting. When we got our food, it seemed really good. The chili cheese fries were... good. I mean nothing special.. I got my burger and immediately gagged... SOURDOUGH bread on a sauce focused burger? (A1) The workers looked miserable.. like they don't even wanna be there. I kept noticing the bald man staring and I just got sick of it and left. My husband went to ask the girl to get a to-go box and she said "I don't think we have any"... as they were behind her sitting on top of the small refrigerator. An absolute overpriced mess of a meal and experience. Mediocre. read more

Had the sweet bacon burger!!! Sooooo good!!! Service was awesome, quick and everyone was super friendly!!!

What an awesome burger! We both had the Southwest Burger with Chili Cheese Fries. We eat out, a lot, and this beats them all! Seriously! It's juicy, has tons of flavor and the tots were hot, crispy and had just the exact amount of cheese & chili. We wanted to try their Pistachio shake but we couldn't eat another bite. Or drink! LOL We only come to Daytona Beach a couple times a month and this will definitely be on our ' where should we have lunch" list! read more

Ordered a large order of fried pickles and received a total of 6 individual slices. For $7, that's preposterous.

Good burger and shake. I don't think it's the best I've ever had but it's a great value for the price

Great burger great toppings real quality ingredients with a price to match. I'm a fan of the 9 patty burger read more

2 stars may seem harsh however I feel that is needed to get the dissatisfaction I felt across. Employees and services 5 star easily kind people spoken to clearly. Pickles and onion rings were not offensive in the slightest pickles higher dill taste than most I enjoyed it. However the burger is where it all fell apart for the restaurant for me and sadly will not be back unless they change their supplier of bread or unless I bring my own buns. It was very disappointing having my bread bun disintegrated in front of me as I'm holding it, I'd rather have gotten a lettuce wrap then the paper mache of the bun that it came with. But give credit where credit is due the meat and cheese pretty good not to shabby, the bacon was a little flimsy and small but not terrible. But none of that matters when your bun is falling apart in front of you and cannot be held onto whilst eating. read more

Wayback Burgers - Double bacon bun disintegrating in the photo. Buy better buns bakery's or from Publix which is in the same plaza as you. - Burgers Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

We ordered for Double Bacon Burger but there was not a single bacon on it. The girl (Tiffany) who answered the phone said that she couldn't do anything about it because she said she doesn't have a power to do anything with my order she said that she can't give me a refund or replace the sandwich etc etc coz her manager is not around and went somewhere and will be back and will give me a call for my complaint. First of all I didn't call them to ask for a refund or for them to replace my burger, I called them to let them know that I didn't get my order right. Anyways, it's not worth it to drive back for 10 mins. Only 10 mins to drive back to get my order right but it's not really worth it, Thats how suck their burger was. * I can understand if they were super busy they have a reason to messed up my order but I was the only one customer waiting for my order. read more

Wayback Burgers - CHILI CHEESE FRIES The Big Way - Burgers Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

My little cousin is who told me about this spot when I was visiting back home. I'm not usually a burger person but when I do want a good, cheesy, beefy burger I'll choose Wayback! I even drove almost an hour to the closest one to me in Fish Hawk. It was worth it! Oh and the milkshakes are a hit too. My cousin insisted I try one and he recommended cookies and cream. He was on point! A future Yelper! I recommend the cheesey for all my cheese lovers! Thank me later. read more

Gotta go have the pistachio milkshake with chocolate whip cream to die for staff is always nice when we go in

I ordered the Southwest burger. I was told that it would take a few minutes. I didn't mind. I got my food , took a bite!! And OMG!! The food was hot and the tator tots were crunchy and hot. The atmosphere is awesome with the older music in the speakers. I drove from Orlando for some other reason, I stopped in for lunch and I WILL BE BACK!!. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!! read more

This is an Uber eats review. The food is very tasty and arrives mostly hot. My problem is that I've customized my burger two times now, and they've forgotten my bacon both times. I've ordered their fries, tots, pickles, and burgers. Would have been a lot more satisfied if my orders were correctly made. read more

I like the burgers here. Usually go with the classic or the big easy, both really good. I also enjoy the sides, tots and nice onion rings. They have a app to order ahead, makes it really easy and hassle free. read more

This place kicks five guys right in the mouth. Way better. Best burger I've had hands down. Double bacon burger!! Don't forget the milkshake!! read more

Great staff and nice food in a modern décor, so what else do you want? We shall certainly keep this place in our pit stops

Went in to order a togo. 40 minutes to get the food. Burgers dry, the A1 burger nearly had any sauce and the Big East had no bacon on it. The tots were good and front of house staff was friendly. read more

Ok people, listen and listen good...picture this, riding down the rode, thinking about food, and then it accrues to you...I haven't had a good burger in months. Well ladies and gentlemen your wait could be right around the corner. Way back burgers has a very good double smash burger. Grab you some napkins and go to town. It's a two fister for sure. read more

I ordered my burger with no bacon specifically, they did it with bacon. A very simple task , they could not fulfill

The burgers and food at this place is. THE BEST. BEST BURGERS IN THE AREA. Juicy and delicious. Their service is AWLAYS outstanding also. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. They have great little side seating area outside too. The only thing I'd recommend them is more comfortable chairs outside. The metal chairs are very hard to sit on. But the food and service and cleanliness of the place are great. read more

Noisy and food is not that tasty. I went twice just to compare visits but it could be better for the price.

Awful customer service over the phone and wrong order twice in a row. This is the last time I'll order from here.
