Delicious. We both had the regular classic doubles. They were delicious! Reminds me of Red Robin in the 90's if that makes sense. We will be back because I simply do not cook hamburger that taste like this. read more

Love their bacon cheeseburger! Their fries are really good. Fresh and hot. Add an Oreo milkshake and you've got yourself a great meal.

Food is good and kids eat free on Tuesday's, can't beat that! The staff is very nice and helpful.

Searched the area and say this burger joint. Figured I would give it a try. Like the way it's set up. You can watch the line make your burger. Fry's were taste. Burger wax juicy and delicious. Would return for another. read more

Wayback Burgers - Hot Dogs Near Me - Lithia, Florida

The food is cooked to order so it takes a few minutes to get your order. However, It is definitely worth the wait. The hamburgers and chicken sandwiches are delicious! My husband especially loves the Rodeo burger! French fries are also crispy and delicious. read more

Overall good enough to come back I guess. But didn't have the most amazing experience. Especially when it's 3.99 for drinks and fries to add to a 6$ burger that was flat and not super filling. Location and what they have to offer is good. Kids eat free night and good lunch specials definitely a good reason to return for those specific times. But definitely do not see it worth coming here for normal pricing times. I do Enjoy the fact you can order a healthy burger option (turkey or veggie) or go with some standard and jazzed up choices. Also some fancy looking hot dogs. Wife is totally eye balling the shakes so we will need to get that next time out. It is cool they have beers on tap although a little pricey for a strip mall burger joint 5$ for a draft. Little perturbed that the ice machine was broken. They seemed pretty nonchalant about it like its a common thing for places to have no ice available for their drinks that cost over 2$ anyways and didn't even get to enjoy it. Def annoying when trying to enjoy an ice cold soda and it's warm and flat and very unsatisfying. But I'm sure hope this is just a random occurrence. Especially since no real apology happened, just sort of an "oh yeah it doesn't really work sorry you are screwed with your warm drink". The burgers we had today (I had turkey, wife had veggie) were decent, but not the best by no means. And pretty flat, not super hearty and juicy. But then again that could be due to us Getting the healthier option. Will be back to give it another shot to wow me sometime later, but def not pushing to go back after a so-so experience. Again nothing special but a decent little spot to go to when craving a burger or something simple and don't want chain fast food restaurant. Def need to get the ice machine fixed PERMANENTLY, that's like a bar being out of beer. And I would consider a better combo pricing plan if you want people to come on the weekends or evenings that are not a Tuesday (or make a burger that is more worth the price IMHO) read more

Here's my ping-pong review score, back up to four stars. Burgers are still very good, everything is fresh and tasty. The other things I was (as a fat white privileged dad) complaining about have mostly been dealt with. Come on Tuesdays if you have kids, and lunch during the rest of the week. read more

Well on this particular day they earned points for having curbside pickup. I had been cleaning all & doing laundry all day & did not feel like 'sprucing up' just because I was hungry. I felt so lazy but was so glad they had the option. When you pull up to the curbside spots, you just call the number on the sign & they bring your order out to you. I ordered a patty melt & onion rings with an Oreo Chocolate shake. Bad I know, but actually it was really good. My order was correct & that gets them 5 stars this time. I will go back again. They had a really nice outdoor seating area which I looked like where I might like to enjoy my meal the next time I stop by. read more

Very nice friendly staff. Prices are fair for the large portions of food. Burgers were amazing, as were the bacon cheese fries. Very clean. This is my new go to burger place. They also have lots of outdoor seating read more

great veggie burger especially with cheese with friendly atmosphere and great fries; wife loves cheesy burger with everything on it

bussssssssin burgers and sides but so expensive cuh one time fries and 2 shakes was like 20 dollars cuh shi fye tho

Nothing great. Incredibly slow service and not sure why. Been here 3 times at slightly crowded and not-at-all-crowded times but had terrible slow service each time. The burgers are....burgers. The fish sandwich is a horrible grease bomb that does not fit the bun. Fries are.....fries. read more

Nothing special about the food here. The service is good but the food is just okay. The floor was pretty stick which means dirty so it's not the cleanest place. read more

Stopped in with my son for lunch. It was our first time after just moving into neighborhood. We were very happy with our experience! Service with a smile and even the kid who was changing the trash asked how our meal was. The burgers were great, the fries fresh and crispy, and I loved the craft sodas on offer in the fountain! I saw some reviews where people complained about the price. My son and I both had burgers, fries, and drink along with mac n cheese bites. The bill was $22. If that's too expensive, then McDonalds has all the $1 cheeseburgers you want. Enjoy! read more

The food here was so good. The Indian manager from London was really looking out for the customer after the worker forgot my tenders. It is a wonderful place to go eat out. read more

Best, juiciest burger I have had in a long, long time. Thinking better than 5 Guys! And the fries are better!!

Amazing hidden gem. After eating the burgers here it's impossible to enjoy anything again. Every ingredient fresh and the burger cooked to perfection. I couldn't ask for a more perfect little burger joint. The milkshakes and sides are also amazing too. This is my go-to spot if I'm craving burgers. read more

I was recommended this place from some moms who order from this place every week while their kids are in extracurricular activities not too far from this location. I must say, after hanging out and smelling the amazing aroma from their weekly ritual, I gave this place a try. I played it safe and ordered the half sized bacon cheese fries...amazing! They cooked to order, so it was hot and fresh. The flavor of the fries were seasoned nicely, just enough cheese, bacon, green onion, and ranch dressing. It wasn't soggy, nor overloaded with grease, which tends to me my loaded fries experience. I'll be back and I'll definitely try the featured burger. read more

Burgers are good and fries are better than most. Prices are high though. Staff is always friendly. We do love that it's closer to home and better than McD read more

Ouch - overpriced burger place. I hate to give a bad review but when my kids wouldn't even eat the bland French fries there's a problem. There wasn't any salt on the fries. The burger of the month, Bacon Ranch Burger on a pretzel bun, was good but for $7.29 and then another $4 for fries & a drink... It was definitely not an $11 meal. Beers are $3.99. My single burger $5.04 & onion rings $4.99 was not worth the price tag. The onion rings were bland, boring & no dipping sauce. The chocolate milk shake was good & a large portion. Thank god it was kids eat free night or it would've been a $40 night and not worth it! I appreciate a good fresh burger but these were lame. We were visiting from out of town and definitely wouldn't go back. The cashier was impatient as if we were in a huge rush yet there was no one behind me in line. Surprised they don't have a blue cheese burger. read more

We placed an order by phone and when we got there, they said they didn't get an order. Then they said they would bring it to the car and never did. We found it sitting at the counter. Let's not even talk about how disgusting the chicken sandwich is read more

I love burgers. I'm also from a city where an average burger joint just doesn't last. This burger - definitely average. Absolutely nothing special. Value: Incredibly over-priced for the quality. Although I would say that it competes with local restaurants like it. Food: As I mentioned above, it is a completely average burger. Nothing to write home about but also nothing to puke at. I enjoyed the fries but it's pretty difficult to screw those up. Service/Concept: Very well executed fast-casual concept. I enjoyed the overall atmosphere here. Very well maintained restaurant. Bathrooms are clean. Lobby/dining area are clean. Kitchen is open to view and is also clean and well-maintained although when you have an open-kitchen, I'd hope it's well-kept. Service is average for a fast-casual place. read more

Now this is my fav. Hang out with my Fambam! The food and the staff are excellent!! Awesomeness! Love it!!!!! read more

Wayback Burgers - Hot Dogs Near Me - Lithia, Florida

We have eaten here a half dozen times each time expecting it to be a better experience. The burgers and shakes are good but It's the service that always falls short, which is a shame. Today our cashier took a phone call in the middle of taking our order making us wait for about 5 mins before another employee came to finish our order. We were the only customers in the restaurant but several tables were dirty and the floor was in desperate need of a sweep. I really wish this place would get it together. Edit 10/2016 Stopped buy for lunch and Mike was working the grill. Great service and food was great. We will start trying this place again. read more

On our way thru Valrico, we found Wayback Burgers. My double classic burger was very flavorful, Husband had a hotdog w mustard, grilled onions& chili and said it was also very good, and the homemade chips were great. Service was quick, place was clean... I would definitely come back. read more

Excellent Service and a Tasty Burger. We were met by a professional young man when we arrived who greeted us and held the door open as we entered. This is a new store and it still has that fresh paint look, without the smell of course. The menu board is simple and easy to read with lots to choose from including a couple of fresh salads. I usually ask for a recommendation whene trying a new place. The associate behind the counter recommended a double burger with four slices of cheese. She explained that the burgers were cooked fresh to order and were flattened on the grill while cooking. A burger chain that can take the time to cook the meat fresh to order is a rare find. Some of The best chains on the West Coast still boast that type of attention from their customers. Just wondering how long it will take to educate the local clientele. We received our order promptly at about 6 to 10 minutes and it was quite a meal. After the first bite I was reminded of that scene from Pulp Fiction where Samuel L Jackson is trying the big Kahuna burger before he offs those young entrepreneurs, Now That's A Tasty Burger. . . Overall a very pleasant experience. We will be back. read more

On the plus side, food came out pretty quickly. On the negative, food was just 'meh'. I've had better burgers and so have you. The onion rings were decent but the buffalo chicken was not great... Same-sorta concept as a 5-Guys but with more offerings. You walk up, place your order with a cashier, and sit down. They call you up, you pick up your food. That's the play-by-play..it's not a restaurant in the sense of servers on staff. If you want a quick burger that tastes better than fast-food but don't want to pay sit-down restaurant prices, try it out. read more

I brought my three young ones into Wayback this evening, and we just had a very enjoyable meal. The food was great, the shakes were on point, and the staff went above and beyond to help out. The wait for our food was a little long, but that's because it's cooked to order right there. I saw while we were there, they have an app, and you can order ahead, as another option. read more

Burgers were not bad, but the service and speed of delivery could really use some improvement. We went during what you would think are peak Saturday hours and there was no clear leadership or management running the show. During this time we heard two couples both send their food back as the toppings were incorrect. We then ran into our own problems when we ordered a milkshake on the way out. It took fifteen minutes per the time stamp on the order slip - the server then bickered with me that it had only been five minutes after I asked the second time for my order. Food was good, but pay for some leadership to help on the delivery side read more

This was a great experience, i have high hopes for Jakes, The food was good, the ambiance is reminiscing of a 50's modern dinner type, with great music to "bop" ....we had the cheesy burger, Also an app called Irish Nachos, they are served with home made potato chips, nice and crispy with chili all over them... yum... Jeffrey had the Jake burger which i'm going to say it... very comparable to the In N Out Burger,, the shakes are also freshly made and delish! really good quality , high hopes for this place. hope they branch out, we'll definitely be coming back to try other menu items, Nice job Jake!! read more

The staff here are always very friendly and offer great service. Restaurant is always clean and it has a lot of outdoor seating for those nicer evenings. The food has always been quality and tastes good. read more

As a new resident of FishHawk, I knew the first thing I had to do was find a great, local place to eat. Coming from up North, I felt right at home with the diner theme. I walked and got a friendly welcome from the employees and then I was offered some of the latest specials. I got a simple double cheeseburger, fries, and a strawberry milkshake. The burger was cooked to perfection, the fries were flawless, and the shake was sublime. I'm not gonna lie the food did cost a little more than what you would pay at McDonald's but what you're gonna end up paying for is great food, excellent quality, great service, and the best burger for 20 miles in every direction. P.S. I loved that I could watch the Yankee game while enjoying my meal! read more

We had these burgers for the first time in South Carolina. We found this place when we got back home. The best burger around. Fries are great as well. read more

The onion rings were decent. The burgers, however were just ok, and way over-priced for what you get. A better value, and burger can be had at steak and shake. read more

Always around this area for work. Food LOOKS great. Service was good. Never got my food. Waited 45 mins. Really hate to say it. Really want to give this place a chance but only get 30 mins for lunch. Better luck next time I guess. Love going back to work hungrier than when I left. read more

At first I was like wow this is good, then I realized my meat was the same soft texture as the bun and wasn't so impressed anymore. I won't go back again. Plus the girl that brought our food was kind of rude and snobby. read more

I think this place struggled when the original owner/operator passed away. Lately it has been great. The burgers are great, they have veggie burgers and salad, too. The decor is simple and nostalgic. Get the Cajun tator tots. read more

Ordered a bacon cheeseburger and hubby had a patty melt and macaroni bites. I rather enjoyed my burger, although I don't eat the bun, I would get it again. I ordered mine with extra bacon and cheddar cheese so, maybe that made it taste a bit better. My husband said his patty melt was just a patty melt, on par with any drive thru burger place. The macaroni bites smelled delicious, but my husband said the really didn't have much flavor. We would probably go back and try once more and take the kids. read more

my first time here,the place was completely empty when we walked in. took a few seconds for two staff members to come out from the back, they didn't make eye contact didn't say hello or welcome.. I said hello to the gentleman who stood behind the register, he didn't say anything back. I looked up at the menu not knowing what I wanted he turned his back to look out the window seeming bothered so we walked out. won't come back. read more

We go to Wayback pretty regularly. It's great to not have to go far! Always get fast service and fresh food! We're always greeted as soon as we walk in also! They gave accidentally put cheese on my burger, but that happens every where and they always make it right. It's also always clean!! Great burgers! Great fries! And great chicken!!! read more
