    As I was driving down the street, I saw the sign for way back and the pictures in the window of some delicious looking burgers so I decided to stop in. Upon entry, the restaurant is immaculate. I have never seen a burger joint so clean in my life. The woman who helped me was very kind. She knew the menu very well and suggested that I order the Cajun burger if I'm looking for a little bit of a kick. I went with her suggestion and added a regular size cheese curds on the side with a water from the fountain. Let me tell you that that Cajun burger had no kick and it was the plainest cheeseburger I've ever eaten in my life. It literally had no flavor. The cheese curds were good, but there wasn't enough. The cook was really nice. We got to talking about old Littleton and how the area has changed so much. I could've made a bologna sandwich that tasted better than that burger. I don't have a reason to go back.

    What a great little burger place. I am surprised this was my first visit. They have an incredible array of burger choices. I picked the hatch green chili burger and it was fantastic. Well made, full of flavor with fresh toppings. The African American woman that helped us, could not have been more pleasant and professional. The building was clean, well maintained and there was plenty of close in parking. The decor was pleasant and there was plenty of comfortable seating inside. First rate burger places

    It's hard to find a good burger place to feed the masses and has enough variety for all the dietary needs of the office. That is why we chose this place for our Thursday catered lunch. We have an office of 40-50 people. One of the most important elements for ordering is that the restaurant label the food. We had a lovely experience with Wayback Burgers. The food arrived luke warm but it came all the way from Englewood to Downtown Denver so that is to be expected. I had one of the cheese burgers. It was two patties with melted cheese and toppings. It was well cooked and tasted wonderful. I ordered the tater tots because I worry about fries getting too soggy and they were crisp, delightful, but a tad greasy. Everything came in catering boxes and the boxes were labeled so our veggie lovers didn't accidently get something they didn't want. All around it was a great experience and we will order from them again.

    Parking: This location shares parking with nearby businesses. Parking was fine. If the local businesses were popular, then parking would be scarce. 3.5 stars. Staff: Lady who took my order did not seem to have the mental capacity to work the cash register. Unfortunately she completely messed my order up, but the chef was chill and quickly made me another meal, correctly. Also, one of the people I was with is currently handicap, but the lady at the cash register stopped us from sitting at the lowtop tables because she "just mopped" (even tho the floor was dry...) so we had to sit at a hightop and improvise for the handicap individual. 1 star due to her. Food: Meal was good, but fries were undercooked. The smash burgers were very quick to cook, so our food was ready fast. 3.5 stars. Bathrooms: They were clean and good. 4 stars. Ambiance: This is a good place to come if you just want to grab a quick meal with a friend. I wouldn't suggest bringing a date here. Restaurant noise is low and makes conversation easy. 3 stars. Overall: I don't think I will go back. The food was quick, but very mid. The customer service of the lady at the cash register was horrible, so that changes the experience from a mid-experience to now a low-experience. (3.5+1+3.5+4+3)/5 = 3 stars

    A single way back burger, crunchy french fries and a drink

    Oh my gosh, the burgers are EXCELLENT, period. Everyone is polite and helpful who works there. The owner is hands down the bomb.com. The store is always clean and it makes you want to sit down and enjoy your fresh hot burger. Dip ya crispy French fries into their fresh ranch and you are in heaven. The shakes, oh boy oh boy.

    Classic burger!

    Phenomenal burger! I dined in and had one of the most delicious burgers ever. I ordered the classic, with fries and a coors light. It was Monday and they had the fries for a dollar which was pretty cool too. My total was less than $15, which was more than reasonable. The service was really great! Josh was who took my order, made my burger, and even brought it out to me! I assume you shouldn't expect this if they are busy though. My burger literally looked like their photo for it. The ambience is cool, it's very clean and what you would expect for a nice burger place. If you're ordering any sandwich on Grubhub etc, just know it will never be as good as if you dined in. So my recommendation is to dine in if you can.

    Rodeo burger no cheese and fries.

    Wow after reading many reviews here. I realize there are a lot of Karen's, and Chads! If you don't know what that means Google it haha. Anyways here is my 2 cents if you care to read farther. I have wanted to try this place for a while. I've seen it just never went in. I tried it today. Only one other person here. The menu has pics for people that are visual. The burgers are custom just like you see at 5 guys, or they have their signature ones. I went with the Rodeo minus cheese as I want to taste the meat. The meat is very tender and cooked perfect. The onion rings are like a beer batter and they are ok, and the standard BBQ sauce that you get at a store. Fries are nothing special but prob will try a different side next time. So far everything you'd expect from a quick burger place The cashier is really cool guy and friendly. I gave 4 stars because staff, and the meat and buns are a great foundation for a burger and the burger was hot and fresh. Much better then what you get at a Wendy's or McD. Thus the price is slightly higher. If you have a problem paying $8 for a double hamburger with cheese, onion rings and bbq sauce then go to Carl's juniors and pay the $6 for theirs that's crap.

Was not aware they had more than one location so it worked for us since we were close to Littleton and didn't want the hassle of downtown traffic. Great old style restaurant with a full bar offering a "Diner" kind of vibe. Staff was very friendly and helpful offering a good sized menu of comfort food style entrees of Burgers, Sandwiches, some Mexican dishes and salads. Reasonably priced menu items and good sized entrees made our lunch perfect. My apologies for not taking any photos of our entrees but we were talking when the food came and very hungry so we all dug in to the deliciousness. I had the burger of the month which was a 1/2 lb burger with crispy wontons, caramelized onions, bacon, arugula, goat cheese and a balsamic peach vinegar. Some of the other entrees were the pulled pork sandwich and a chile relano burger. The fries were crispy and flavorful as well the onion rings with a light batter and cooked to crispy perfection.

But I'm glad they opened up a location in the southwest area so one doesn't have to always go to Cherry Creek.

I went with the Burger in a Bowl and added blue cheese. Now let's talk about that... They don't do the "light sprinkle" thing here. They pile it on, and as someone who appreciates bold flavor, I was all in. The burger itself was cooked well and had great flavor throughout. It comes with steak fries, and I specifically asked for them well done... unfortunately, they didn't quite hit that crispy finish I was hoping for. Not a deal breaker, but worth noting. Service was okay--nothing negative, just not overly engaging or memorable. Kind of a "take your order and keep it moving" vibe. That said, the overall experience was strong. Between the atmosphere, the variety on the menu, and a really solid burger, this is absolutely a place I'd come back to if I lived nearby. Pro Tip: If you're a blue cheese fan, don't hesitate--they go big with it here. Final Verdict: Great spot for burgers and a laid-back sports bar experience. A little more attention to fries and service would push this into 5-star territory.
