    Great lunch pit stop!
    Rachel M.

    If it weren't for Yelp, I'd probably be knee deep in the Los Banos In n Out line and scavenging for a table. Luckily I saw reviews for this tasty burger joint off Panoche Rd and they delivered! Clean inviting interior, easy to order kiosk, friendly staff, and fresh tasty burgers. It's also connected to a gas station/store and clean restrooms. We ordered 4 classic cheeseburgers (not too greasy fresh meat patties), a large chili cheese fries, regular fries, (fries were ok but not the star) and the brownie sundae & Cinnamon Toast Crunch milkshakes (super yummy indulgent treats!) It's similar to a Five Guys with the additional toppings you can add, but not as greasy. We enjoyed our meal and will remember it next time we are on the 5!

    Burger with cheese
    Jahmal P.

    It's feels like they craft burgers here it doesn't feel like it's just number 30 your orders ready. They going take there times they going get it right. I really absolutely thought this would have been some mediocre burger overpriced and under flavored, but If I ain't tell you. That first bit got me right. You know how I knew it was good after I ate my first bit another guy was sitting there waiting for his burger and he smiled at me when he saw my face after that first bit. And we gave eachother the nod. I'm genuinely happy this isn't a close by spot cause I would be going to often. Before I leave let's talk shake this isn't you any other place type of let me just add milk to ice cream and give you that with a smile. I'm not a banana person but I had to trying there banana pudding milk shake and when I tell u I'd wish it was some sort of bottomless milk shake that didn't end I mean it. It was awesome.

    Bourbon Bacon Burger

    The pictures alone would probably tell the tale, but if I may add a few words, Wayback Burgers was incredibly disappointing and I will be doing everything possible to avoid another stop at this roadside dining establishment. I opted for the Bourbon Bacon Burger, something I've seen and enjoyed variations of at other restaurants throughout the years. In all other cases the Bourbon is found in a BBQ sauce, however in this particular burger it is a bourbon mustard, meaning every bite of your burger will be drenched in a mustard that drowns out all other flavors. If you love mustard maybe give this a shot, if you are at all ambivalent, steer clear. The Bacon Cheese Fries were another unfortunate mess, absolutely covered not in freshly crumbled bacon but rather gristly and chewy bacon bits accompanied by a mild and lackluster cheese sauce that left me wishing I had just ordered normal fries. I would have preferred almost any fast-food chain to the food I received at Wayback Burgers, especially when you factor in their high pricing. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to eat.

    Made a pit stop here around 2:00 PM for a quick lunch. Not very busy. You can order on their Kiosk or with staff. Compared to In&Out, I would say this place is decent, but I wouldn't come back. It is a bit overpriced. It's the best in this area though. The burger was a bit overdone and the sauce or bun isn't super memorable. However, it came out fresh and hot. $8 for a small vanilla shake hurt a bit. It tasted good but I've had better. Indoor seating only. Plenty of parking. Overall, it's good for what it is, but I'm guessing most people only go here because it's a convenient stopping area off the highway.

    wow! What a great bite! My boyfriend and I had a burger and a BLT usually food on the road isn't the best but these place is not like that. Great taste, great flavor 11/10!

    Combo burger - double make it your own
    Thomas K.

    I was surprised to find this hidden gem off the freeway. Especially since it was combined next ti the gas station. Great tasting burgers that reminded me like a smash burger type. I enjoyed the fries, battered pickles, onion rings, and tatter tots. The service was a bit slow, seems they need another worker but overall I would recommend and comeback again.

    Where is the chicken
    Lei H.

    If you want to pay twice the price of in n out for not as good quality this is the place to go. The only thing going for it is the closest in n out is another 35/40 min away and all other option by it are worse. Classic burgers are $11-12. 5 people cost $100 and it was just so so. Ceasar salad with chicken was wilted lettuce and lots of croutons. Little chicken. Next time just plan better and go to the in n out.

    Hotdog with condiments. Amazing

    Bro. This place served a good hotdog. Genius how they cut the sausage in the middle so it can hold more sauce. Revolutionary. Made a random stop here to grab food and left with hotdog knowledge. Would come here again. Standard fast food restaurant vibes and they cook to order.

    Inside
    Sakol M.

    Stopped by to get gas and lunch. Didn't want to do McDonald's, so this place was worth trying. Got the classic burger with the tater tots and drink meal deal. Cost was $19.21. It's a typical fast food eating area. Don't come here for the atmosphere. The service is slow despite number of customers here today. Glad they have airconditioning because today is 100 degrees. The burger was ok. Above your average fast-food burger, but definitely not premium for the price. Nothing special about the tater tots either. Time to get back on the road.

    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.

    In-N-Out Burger - 1/16/24 Cheeseburger with raw onions

    This In N Out is located in Santa Nella, CA, where Interstate 5 and Highway 152 meet…read more This location has been here since 2011. To me, the interior and exterior still look pretty new. The parking lot is large. I usually use the drive thru versus dining in. They keep the lot and interior pretty clean considering the massive number of travelers pass through. The staff here have been great even when handling disgruntled customers that need a nap. The food and pricing is typical In N Out. Food is hot and nicely packaged. The burger patties are seasoned, having a good flavor. Grilled onions on point. Fresh fixings. Yum. FYI- Tesla and Rivian Network electric chargers are located across the street in the hotel parking lot facing Henry Miller Road.

    Santa Nella is one of those long time pit stops along the I-5 corridor. The options for food have…read moregrown exponentially over the years. Of course In-N-Out Burger would plant itself a place here. Stopping here for a late lunch was quite the experience. Although somewhat secluded off the main road the signage to it can't be missed. They reach cell tower status in height. The place was packed with patrons. Even the outdoor seating, which is abundant, was overflowing, even with cold weather. I have to say they have their systems down pat and they know how to move product and people efficiently. The routine for ordering is like it is anywhere in this chain. Staff are always friendly and on the ball. Things move with precision! We ordered two No.2 meals with grilled onions and I immediately scouted out seating. Making a mad dash when a spot opened I planted myself firmly as a dozen others ran for that spot! The food was as to be expected, always consistently good and better quality than most places for the price. It was quick, satisfying and except for the crowd enjoyable. Oh, and why do so many folks own mega sized trucks and SUVs that barely fit in a parking space? Try navigating a mid-sized sedan between two of those "puppies" and trying to open the door to get out! The other observed, and rather sad, reality is the parking lot for the very long time institution, Andersons Pea Soup, was nearly empty. As we commented, try and convince your kids to have pea soup over a burger! Times have changed.
