    Classic burger with fries
    Zac G.

    Neither the best of burgers nor the worst, Wayback Burgers is a step-up from the fast food drive-thru albeit with higher prices to match. The franchise's name has retro connotations, and the compact menu - burgers, fries, and shakes with a few chicken and salad options - suits the concept well. This location's interior is small albeit clean, and it seemed adequately staffed. Speaking of staffing, the cashier who took my order was polite, and there was a minimal wait for my food. If nothing else, Wayback is efficient. I opted for a Classic burger (cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, mustard, and ketchup) with fries and a drink. The food was served hot, and the portions weren't lacking (the smash-style patties were thin, but there were two of them), but the flavor was unremarkable. They do, however, offer a strawberry hibiscus iced tea that was pretty good. Wayback isn't a place I would go out of my way to return to, but if I'm in the area and need filling food fast, I wouldn't balk at the idea.

    I've been meaning to come, but it kept slipping my mind. Perfect meal for a Friday night. My son and I got the wayback Chicken boxes. Nice sized sandwich and ok tater tots. The sandwich was fresh and juicy. My son got a red velvet shakes. He said it was good. It had an open clean kitchen and there wasn't a massive weight. I will be back to try other menu items.

    We arrived here around 7-7:15pm. There were 3-4 tables taken, a couple of people waiting on their orders to go, one person in line placing an order. We placed our order using a Facebook special posted by the restaurant (B1G1 Classic). At 7:35 we were still waiting on our two burgers and 1 order of Cajun tots. Burgers arrive by name being called & the wrong burger was on the combo platter. No worries since Hubby & I were sharing the tots anyway. Problem was, the Cajun tots had no Cajun seasoning. I go back to the food service area until I'm noticed. I explained to the young lady the Cajun tots had no seasoning. She was surprised and said there should be some. I explained my husband tasted them and I looked at them and saw none. She offered some in a small cup and that was acceptable. Once receiving the seasoning, I could clearly see that was definitely NOT on the tots. The burgers were tasty, but not the best smash burgers in High Point. We may give them another try - just be sure you're not in a hurry since everything is cooked to order.

    Never been to Wayback before but I went to this location and got their veggie burger and it was great! It's one of the better veggie patty options I've had recently! I got a build your own with the meal deal (side and a drink) and majority of the toppings were free! I ordered take out, there is not a lot of seating inside maybe like 25 people tops. There is ordering online available! Tons of vegetarian options too. I got their strawberry hibiscus tea and it was amazing.

    The good notes- the restaurant is cute and clean, and the people are friendly! However... Our experience at Wayback Burgers was not great. They were extremely busy, so I'm sure that had something to do with the poor service, but the person who took our order was so flustered she wasn't listening. She overcharged us, and then when I went back to get it fixed, she wouldn't listen long enough to figure out what I was asking for- she assumed quickly that I was asking for a status update on our food and rushed to the kitchen to find out when our food would be ready. When she came back, I tried to explain that I wasn't asking about my food, I needed a refund because I had been overcharged. She kept telling me they'd take care of that, and then tried to take the next persons order. She finally got a manager to come see us and give us the refund. I completely understand that the restaurant was busy and she needed to take orders, but if she had just taken a moment to listen, we would've been out of her hair much faster! As far as the food goes, the burgers were edible but not delicious. The fries and tots were so greasy and bland we didn't eat them. Additionally, a combo runs about $15. If the food had been amazing, $15 might be understandable, but I think we would've been better off getting fast food. Overall, save your money. Not impressed and won't be back. I hate to say that, because the people were nice! But I have to be honest. Maybe with time, they'll improve. They are brand new.

    On recommendation from my son, checked this place out. Packed on a Sunday evening but wait time was…read moreonly 10 minutes. Our server Bronny was great. She was literally hoppin' it was so busy but did a good job of keeping up. She helped me find items on the menu that fit my dietary restrictions. Nice vibe, laid back, loud. Parking isn't great limited onsite but there's plenty of additional parking across the street. The best menu! There's SOOOO many things I want to try. I mean, a variety of different fries are you kidding me? My friend had the spicy goat burger which she said was good: if you don't like messy don't get it because the sauce is very sticky and she said there needs to be more sauce on the burger. I had a customized salad which was huge and delicious. The salad was too big for the size of plate though. The dressing was a house made roasted shallots and was yummy. Outdoor and indoor seating. Not in Greensboro often but I'm coming back here!

    Finally got back to Hops. This experience was underwhelming. I tried to eat here the night before…read morebut was too crowded. Since I was driving back by on my home the next day, had a late lunch. Arrived around 3pm on a Friday and sat at the bar. Given the hour, it was fairly quiet. Weird experience, bar was wide open. I went to the bathroom and when I came back, someone decided to sit in the seat right next to me. Why?! I must comment on the service. The barkeep got me a menu quick and I ordered a water. During my meal, my water sat empty for 5 minutes or so even thought I counted 8 staff members behind the bar. Given the time of day, it was not busy. I ordered onion rings (as a side) and the Bacon Jam burger as it came with the "cordon Bleu" fries. The onion rings stole the show. So good. The fries were not my jam. Low quality cheese sauce with lunch meat ham that was diced. My fault, I should have subbed regular fries as I don't like stuff on my fries. I was expecting it to be a seasoning. My mistake. The burger was good not great. I got the 12 oz size and learned it is 2 fat 6 oz. patties stacked. Makes it VERY tall. The description of this burger is shown in one of my photos. Again, it was good but the flavors just did not pop. Wish I got the French Onion burger. Next time. :-) I do recommend!

So many places throw on one or two extra and call it a day, but this was a legit pickle situation. The crinkle-cut fries were seasoned and really good, the milkshake was decent, and the burger was solid overall. Nothing fancy, just classic fast-food comfort done well. For two double combos and a chocolate shake, it was $29 and some change, which felt pretty reasonable. I'd definitely grab it again if I'm in that area. Perfect post-disc golf fuel.

Smart move on their part by sending the most adorable teenage boy with perfect puppy dog eyes to humbly hand us our bag as he kept saying how sorry he was. Who could be mad at him? Not me. We had ordered on their app as we were passing through the area and they were very busy so I get how a mix up could occur. The 5 stars happened because even though we sat for 20 minutes, our food did not. It was hot and it was fresh. Other places could take note of this and maybe step up their game a bit or A LOT.... I'm not saying any names but their initials being with Whataburger... Anyway, I digress. We both got the same thing. The double burger with chili, slaw, mustard, onions, and pickles. While not necessarily the best choice for a road trip lunch driving down the interstate, it's hard to be salty about something so delicious. Messy? Yes. But it was a glorious mess!! You gotta love a place that not only allows you to completely customize your food, but allows it for relatively no extra charge except on the big ticket items like bacon or extra cheese. And they don't skimp either... which again made for a messy drive but well worth the laundry I had to do as soon as our 7 hour drive was over. The two patties were perfectly done, the buns were fresh and they were very, very liberal with the included toppings. This thing was stacked with a wonderful, meaty chili, cool, crisp slaw, crunchy pickles, and rounded out with fresh onions that added a terrific contrast to the chili and slaw. And the toppings were spread through out the sandwich so that every bite delivered on flavor. They were also generous with the napkins, which is rare these days and very, very much appreciated. The fries were good although I'm not a big fan of the crinkle variety... that said, I do appreciate that you have the option in the app to get them extra crispy. That made for a much better experience. Though they're not my favorite type of fries, these were well cooked, soft on the inside without being mealy like most crinkles are; while having a nice crispy exterior. If I have to have crinkle cut fries, I'd prefer Dairi-O's. I also tried their tzatziki sauce because I love that as a dipping sauce for fries and it was pretty spot on. At first, when I saw it on the menu, my thought was, "what does a burger joint really know about tzatziki sauce?" Turns out, a lot. It was creamy, tangy, with just the right amount of fresh cucumber and dill. Over all, as far as I'm concerned, it's a solid fast food choice that feels less like fast food and more like eating a perfect burger from your backyard grill. We both enjoyed it very much and will be back.

I recently started seeing a lot adds on social media for their new smash burger tacos, so one weekend I was feeling lazy and needing some lunch I decided to go give it a try. There was a bit of line when we arrived, but the cashier kept the line moving quickly. I ordered (2) of the tacos, and some fries to go. Apparently, they had a promo going that weekend with their app, that you'd also get ANY size, free custard made to your liking. The order came out pretty quickly, didn't have to wait long at all. Got home, unpacked everything on a plate, and enjoyed my tasty lunch. The tacos were great, basically just a soft shell taco with a single smash burger in each, cheese, a little lettuce and fry sauce. Probably could add some other toppings, like tomatoes, but overall they were really good. Their fries are also great, but very thin, so you kind of need to grab a few at a time. There fry sauce those is what makes the fries even better. Must try! The custard was also great, i got one mixed with oreo, one of my favorites! The restaurant itself isn't too large, but decently clean. The interior is one large open space with a lot of hard surfaces though, so it can get noisy in there as it fills up. Overall, a tasty option from time to time. Would recommend if you like smash burgers though they do also have hot dogs, and the custard is delicious. Go check them out if you haven't already

After seeing the smashburger tacos, my husband regretted his order. It was love at first bite--juicy steakburger with gooey American cheese, lettuce and jalapeño fry sauce on a tortilla. Definitely a must-try (can purchase a la carte & add to existing order). Husband's chicken sandwich had a weird texture (we were joking it was fish)--but chicken tenders seemed fine. Daughter devoured her dbl steakburger. Love the thin, crispy fries and crispy tot sides. Have the option for ketchup or choice of 3 flavors of fry sauce. Friendly staff, prompt service, hot food. Dining room was clean and rather quiet for dinnertime. A great and tasty fast food alternative to the usual suspects.

    Magnolia Blue was one of my favorite High Point eateries. Whether I went for weekend brunch or New…read moreYear's Eve dinner, I never had a bad meal there. It closed in early February for what were supposed to be renovations, only to reopen months later with a new name and a new concept, trading slightly upscale Southern for more upscale Italian. In some regards, this makes sense - it fills a void created by the closure of Lulu and Blu - but in other ways, it's a massive gamble. My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner, and while it was an overall pleasant experience, it also made us miss Magnolia. The higher price point is the chief culprit. Otto and Blue offers pastas in the $20s and entrees starting in the $30s, bread and olive oil not included. While we were celebrating an occasion that merited such a splurge, it's hard to imagine the restaurant remaining competitive at those prices once the sheen of newness wears off. Look past that, however, and Otto and Blue shines in both ambiance and service. It's classy without being stuffy, and the dark turquoise tones suit it well. Allison, a Magnolia Blue mainstay, was personable and attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Otto and Blue's menu offers apps, salads, pastas, and entrees. It's predominantly Italian albeit with a few options for the steak-and-potatoes crowd. The dishes range from recognizably classic (rigatoni Bolognese) to conspicuously elevated (halibut piccatta). After mulling over several offerings, we went with the bread service, tagliatelle, and duck cacciatore. The food ranged from fairly good to outstanding. While $9 for bread is a tough pill to swallow, they executed it as well as they possibly could have: a hot, fresh ciabatta with tasty herb butter, olive relish, and a quality olive oil-balsamic combo as accompaniments. The cacciatore boasted a pair of duck legs confit, and while I'm usually no fan of dark meat poultry, these were prepared well with crispy skin and plenty of meat. For a typically hearty dish, the sauce seemed light (and a bit subdued), but that could be a consequence of serving atop polenta (more absorbent) rather than pasta. Speaking of pastas and sauces, the tagliatelle hit a nice balance of creamy and zesty without swimming in its white wine lemon sauce. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert that Otto and Blue kindly offered as an anniversary gift. A scoop of vanilla bean gelato came adorned with a Biscoff cookie, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of salt. If salt and especially olive oil on ice cream seem vaguely blasphemous, don't knock it until you try it. Each bite was thoroughly delicious. It's a given that good food doesn't come cheap, but even so, Otto and Blue has no margin for error to justify what it charges. On food alone, it was close but not quite there. However, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I have no regrets about dining here.
