Much better than the McDonald's across the street. Seems Cleaner, better food and staff was more polite.

The food is amazing! But more importantly, the employees are awesome!!! The customer service is splendid and I am so thankful for their service. They stayed late to serve me and my entire family! read more

Stopped here during the middle of a long road trip. Was starving! This place was great, hit the spot perfectly. Burgers, Philly Cheesesteaks, shakes, and chicken tenders. Food was very tender and juicy, definitely better than what I expected from a fast food joint. Prices are reasonable, plenty of parking. Its attached to a gas station, so fill up your tank, grab a bite, and hit the road, you wont regret it! read more

Great chicken tenders and fries. The fries were made from a real potato! Amazing. The hot dog was only average but hey this place is in the middle of nowhere! The service was great too. Polite and efficient. We ate outside (nice outside temperatures on Halloween but hotter than h*ll in summer). We appreciated the workers dressing up for Halloween. Nice touch. read more

We travel up north a few times a year, and when we do, we always stop here. It's the best burger place that you'll find on that grueling drive up and down the I-5. Step aside In&Out, this place is better. read more

It was nice to be able to stop at this burger place on the 5 in the middle of a long haul trip from the south. There's surprisingly little to eat on the epic journey. Unfortunately they got 2 out our 3 orders incorrect and I thought the food was mediocre. Lots of parking and gas stations at this roadside burg. Easy access. Staff was nice enough, but I won't be going out if my way for this one in the future. read more

Wayback Burgers - Dining room - American Near Me - Firebaugh, California

I never knew how truly desolate Highway 5 was until I actually tried to search for a supermarket and learn there are none on the five. I had tried this place once before and it was fantastic and this time was no exception. While this is a little bit more expensive than your other fast food joints, the quality is Leaps and Bounds better. The food have the similar quality and feel to Johnny Rockets with burgers made to order and excellent sides and trimmings. This is definitely going to be my go-to restaurant on the five. read more

Extremely lazy employees, at the location at 7:40pm and the boy said they don't have fires which is just a lazy excuse. The burgers are extremely small and not worth $10+ your best bet is to just eat at the McDonald's across the street tbh. read more

Attached to a gas station and not AT ALL what we expected in every category. Absolutely poor quality food and order execution. This Firebaugh location doesn't carry most of the options we selected when we checked out online through their website. I purchased a blue cheese burger, but they don't have it. We purchased O Ring Fries and received two O's on top of a basket of regular fries. They didn't have any of the fancy sauces listed on the website. Our kids opted for Lemonade with their kids meal. Not only did they not have ANY drink ready when we came to pick up our mobile order, they didn't mention they only offer typical soda fountain drinks with less options than an average fast food joint. We ordered online and the website looks modern and lists all kinds of sauces, Strawberry hibiscus soda, all kinds of toppings and customizable options. Apparently this particular franchise is not upholding the brand's intended image of an upscale burger. No one working even cared that they were missing half of the details on our $44 order. They just looked at me and said "we don't have that" without offering any solution or understanding. read more

Amazing little break and delicious food 5 stars!!!!! Connected to the Mobile gas station my hubby and I were hesitant... but extremely happy we gambled!!! Clean, not crowded not to mention it was bottomless fries day...and they had A DISNEY MOVIE ON!!!! Highly recommend and my new fav. Pit stop. Such a thankful customer for this little Oasis! Thanks guys!! read more

This place is greasy! Yummy food and conveniently at a gas station. We got gas, bathroom break and got food for the road!!

Super good fresh made food! Felt sorry for the two workers who were both cooking and taking orders, but they did great! Get them some help, wayback. Your food was incredible! read more

Mixed emotions, I came out of my way to eat here because I'm used to Wayback Burgers having only halal meat, They serve pork here. My dumbass decided to still get a burger because they said the beef was halal. I got my burger with a side of long curly blonde hair! NEVER COMING BACK! read more

Wayback Burgers - Hair in my burger. Pulled that crap out of my mouth. Disgusting! - American Near Me - Firebaugh, California

Wanted to like it, but expensive and salty... The cheesesteak, maybe should have melted cheese in the chopped (not over cooked) steak, as opposed to the salty, cheesy onions, with a side of over cooked cheap meat cuts. Additionally some food service issues, such as the cook employee messing around with friends in the dining room, the cashier helping food prep, but no washing hands between handling cash and food. Finally the ticket was clearly marked to go, but it came out "dine in", when pointed out it was all unceremoniously dropped into a bag with no thought of presentation. The two employees seemed overwhelmed with the business. read more

Atmosphere was great and people were friendly. Usually people say if there are not a lot of people there you should stay out because the food probably isn't any good but when we ate here the food was delicious. Aside from the fact that we found hair in our water which is weird. I had a buffalo chicken burger and my wife had the classic burger along with a full order of bacon and cheese fries everything was delicious and I highly recommend eating at this place just maybe don't order the water. read more

Solid burger joint in the middle of nowhere. We were on our way to SoCal from the Bay Area and made a pit stop at Wayback for dinner. The ambience is fast food like , but the food here is very fresh. We got about 2-3 burgers with assorted fixins and sides of fries. The patty was well cooked and so were the veggies that went on the burger. They tasted fairly fresh as well. The dressing/aioli is house made ! The milkshakes are solid and provided some much needed sugar for the weary traveler! Definitely recommend to folks looking for quality food along an otherwise dry freeway! read more

Burger were cook to order, but they were sitting on the countertop a little to long before they were served. The fries were a little cold when we got our order. The meat on the burger were dry. Waited 15 minutes for our order. The chicken strips and onion ring were very good. For a fast food that have a wait of 15 minutes, I think is a little too long. read more

For those of you who do the "5" on a regular basis, and are sick and tired of the same old fast food places, where the hambuger patty tastes like it belongs on the bottom of your shoe and not in your tummy? "REJOICE", you have a choice. Across the freeway from Harris Ranch, sits WAYBACK burger. They cook 'em to order, fresh taste compaired to the usual tasteless shoe leather. Great bun and condiments make for a very tasty burger. Add handmade shakes that were very good. What more do you want, burgers that are cooked well, but not over cooked. The fries, that's another story. I will go back next time I'm on the 5 read more

Good burger, clean place great place to stop! If you're passing through and looking for a good burger I'd recommend it

gas station restaurant...finding a pleasant surprise...clean and modern restaurant...counter order and wait for food delivery to table...television screens to keep entertained....prices are steep...build-your-own burgers starting at $4.99 or order from menu...taking a double bacon $7.99 and adding mayo and relish...adding a side of fries and a soda $3.69...after 5% check-in discount, looking at $12 total for a meal...fries are perfectly golden, crispy and soft inside...burgers are constructed well...beef patties are crumbling soft and juicy...the wait for food during an empty day is quite long...not a quick meal... read more

We stopped here for a quick bite. It was good. Like they say a quick burger joint! Better than Mc Donald's or Jack. Freshly made to order. I'd go baclose. Update - 4/4/2019 - second visit. Burger cooked as you want it. Delish! Ordered fries. Crispy and NOT GREASY! They were great read more

Hubby and I were pleasantly surprised. This place is delicious! The exit/stop might look a bit sketchy, but it's worth the stop. The restaurant is attached to a gas station. The burgers were made fresh and the shakes were really good (chocolate banana!!!). The parking lot has a spot for your dog and outdoor seating. read more

Stopped on our road trip....Burgers were ok. While everything tasted fresh, I personally prefer In N Out or The Habit. I thought these burgers were a little pricey, in my opinion. Was disappointed with how much I paid and the burgers tasted similar to Wendy's style. Tater tots were yummy, though read more

Do t eat here They don't trust their meat Any place that won't cook you a medium rare burger doesn't trust their meat. So I ordered a Caesar salad and a hotdog and a grilled cheese. The grill cheese was on a hamburger bun and the cheese was old my four-year-old wouldn't even touch it. The hotdog again was way too salty and tasted like it was old The Caesar salad was wilted and was basically not edible. Stop at Harris ranches shell station and get a salad or a hot dog or a burger there Avoid at all casts your stomach will thank you for it seriously read more

On a road trip down to SoCal from The Bay on interstate 5, I stopped by this burger for something other then McDonald's. It was nice, clean, and seemed to have some options. They had 2 TV's playing the movie "Sing" which was pretty cool to watch while waiting for my order. I ordered the horse radish butter burger and fries which were cooked to order and fresh. The texture if the meat patty seemed leaner then average. The taste was not all there for me but not enough to detour one's interest. I may have ordered the wrong burger? I could give them another try. The other burger selections here at Wayback burger do look like delicious concepts. The fries were crisp and delicious. I do wish I was in the mood for milkshakes, they looked tasty. Advertised as hand turned and made with real ice cream! Mmmmmm.... The service was polite and fast. All in all, I would want to come back and try their milkshakes and a different burger. Stay hungry adventurous and happy Yelping. read more

Good fast food option off the 5! Pretty quick and fresh burgers, chicken strips, salad, and tater tots! Prompt service with only 2 workers and steady flow of customers on a Monday evening. Thank you!! read more

Didn't expect a gem like this in the middle of nowhere off the 5. We usually stop in Coalinga during our regular trips from the Bay to LA but our newborn couldn't wait that long. We ended up at Wayback Burgers and I'm so glad we did! The food was great- a nice break from road trip, drive thru garbage. Atmosphere also perfect for a family with three little ones. They even played Boss Baby on the TVs so our kids could chill out while we waited for our food. Will definitely be back on our next drive. read more

Wayback Burgers - American Near Me - Firebaugh, California

The food was really amazing here and we had only stopped here as a quick lunch as we were traveling to San Diego. The food was really neatly presented. We noticed that the service there was slow, but realized that they had a shortage of employees. It was great since we also needed to stop here for a quick refill of gas. Around this area, there is almost nothing to eat, but luckily this was available to fill our stomachs. I would definitely recommend coming here. read more

Was told, "I'll be with you in a minute." 5 minutes later, while he is still filling condiments I asked again can we order, he repeated his original statement. Then someone else comes and takes our order. Lame service. On to the order. 3 burgers and 3 fries took 25 minutes. Lame amount of time for fast food. 1 star goes to the taste. It tastes good. read more

Stopped here because my kids were hungry and so glad I did. Double Bacon burger is amazing just the way they make it. read more

Missed my exit to previous food places, but I'm so glad we did. The burgers were delicious and made on the spot. The milkshakes are perfect.

Stumbled upon this gem and even though it was busy, we decided to wait! We're so glad we did! These burgers are amazing and mouthwatering! I literally ate the whole burger.... and the chocolate banana milkshake was to die for. You won't be disappointed stopping here! read more

Stopped here for lunch on my way to San Francisco. I was pleasantly surprised. Dining area is very clean with self serve fountain drinks. Bathroom is located on the gas station side (this restaurant shares property with a gas station convenient store). We ordered our food at the counter and a young lady brought it to our table. Food is good. You can really taste the freshness. Meat is not frozen and cooked to medium/well. They have a lot of options. From making your own burger to picking different sides, including home made potato chips. I recommend giving this place a try. read more

Good food. The lobby is around 65 degrees and made it difficult to enjoy our meal. VERY dirty lobby. Most of the ketchup bottles on the tables were empty. Still, better than McDonalds. Find an In-n-Out. read more

yep - it was tucked away behind a gas station...but was off the 5 --and we all know there is nothing on the 5 !!! so this was a welcome sight and the food was above average for a hamburger joint.
