My go to burger spot they never miss and the milkshakes are to die for. Not to far from home and great prices for what you get.

My bf and I only get Wayback if their make your own double cheeseburger is BOGO. The food is okay, not to die for, not amazing, but it's good. Not my favorite burger, kinda bland, tastes like there's no seasoning and that's with ketchup, mustard and wayback gold sauce, but if BOGO and we only have $15 it's worth it to get sometimes. We tried the pickle chips & they were also ok, not great. We've both picked up there & had it delivered and the food is always a tad bit soggy. The employees are kind however, and it is never a long wait for food. Had to add: the cajun tots are SO yummy!! but not worth the $7 read more

To be fair, delivery takes a toll on this kind of food. I ordered a burger and tots. Lady Matilda ordered the same but with different toppings. I tend to go with meat, cheese, mushrooms, and a light combo of ketsup, mayo, and mustard. There's usually just enough of those three sauces that I can scoop it off the sides with my tots. I grade on a curve when I can't interact with a restaurant about my food complaints, but I do believe that restaurants that deal with UberEats and DoorDash should pay special attention to those orders that leave their store because they seem to be the ones at highest risk of being unsatisfactory. The tots come in cardboard which keeps them warm and crispy during transport. Most other orders, especially in plastic, arrive lukewarm and soggy. But these basic tots were warm and tasty. They also provide a healthy portion. No complaints. Nothing special, but then that's far better than most delivery tots and fries. The burger was less impressive. For a "burger joint" the meat was not particularly special. It was flavorful but overwhelmed by the excessive sauces pouting over the side, the ketsup extra acidic to linger on my tongue and back of my throat for a long time. There was no need for the dozen packets they threw in the bag with our order. For mushrooms, I expect grilled mushroom slices, not a stingy helping wet chunks. I had to come back to mention the cheese because I'd forgotten all about it. The burger didn't taste BAD, but it tasted like the person making it was inexperienced or impatient. Finally, as this was not the first order (Lady Matilda loves this place) I admit it is not typical but also spotlights that our orders are inconsistent. Other burger places will provide consistent product. This is probably the least impressive order. It has been great in the past, but I can't say when the best time is to get the best product. Let me know if you have advice. read more

I haven't been here in a while. Not sure what's going on but it's gone downhill. Tables are sticky things seems just slightly unclean. The bathroom iappears dirty no paper towels in the dispenser dim lighting. I ordered the classic burger with fries. While the burger was good it's not better than Shake Shack or 5 guys. With the shake shack across the street 5 Guys up the road.I can't see this staying in business. read more

Haven't been here for awhile and thought I would update my review from 8 years ago! The good is that the burgers are still good here and the fries are great also. I had the double bacon cheeseburger with tomato & onions I asked to hold the lettuce. I think they could have melted the cheese better on this one. My wife had the classic double well done with lettuce, tomato, pickles extra mayo, mustard & ketchup. She ordered a side of Fried pickles! Seems there were new owners or partners since we were here last. Although the burgers were good we did notice the housekeeping is lacking. Tables needed wiping the carpet in front of the soda fountain needed vacuuming or a good cleaning! The pads for payment needed & counter needed a good cleaning and disinfectant. I always wonder when I see workers sitting around on their phones and a dirty eating area why tables aren't wiped when the place is empty! Sorry Wayback your burgers are good your staff seems friendly enough but cleanliness is a big part of reviews. read more

the cashier doesn't want to scan my member QR codeThis is my favorite burger place on the West Shore. Most of the time I have the Classic burgers. The two beef patties are tasty with great texture to the chew. Brioche buns, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, plus the Cajun sauce -- that's everything I can ask for in a burger. Best yet, the price is midrange and best value in terms of what you get. There are also BOGO deals every now and then -- I would never want to miss them!! Staff are generally friendly and polite. Dining area is spacious and clean. The only issue is their loyalty program - they have signs advertising their app, but the cashier doesn't want to scan my member QR code, and scanning the receipts using the app never works. read more

Fiancé and I came in for national burger day and we both got a classic with fries. One of the best burgers we've had in a long time!! Staff was very nice as well! read more

We tried this place for the first time we created our own single burgers and our daughter got a cheesesteak all the food was good I found the burger to be nice and juicy ,the only thing I found was that the place seemed not very busy with a very small staff but staff was fairly friendly, maybe we did not go on a busy day but it just makes me wonder when a place seems pretty good why it's not generating much business,definitely would go again. read more

When I walked inside I really was not inviting . It was kinda of dingy looking on the inside with poor lighting. Now the sun was shining right in front of the place. You could easily see a dust, dirt, and streaks on the windows and counter tops. My Order was taken quickly. I was way over charged for bacon that was add to my order. (6.00 for two sandwiches)Do to the Language barrier I did not say anything. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger with a coke and onion rings. I had a coupon for a free classic burger. My order did come out quickly and was hot.My total bill came out to be around 22.00 dollars before tip.. for the quality of what I got. I think five guys is a better deal. (With out coupon) and I can honestly say I'm in no hurry to go back. Food was ok. It just the first impression was not overly impressive. read more

I stopped by Wayback Burgers to grab a quick bite before heading to the movies. The place was clean and not so busy. The staff was friendly and answered my questions about menu since it was my first time there. I ordered the cheeeesey burger and added grilled onions with an order of fries and a soda. I also got a side order of the tenders with bbq sauce. I wasn't too crazy about the tenders but the burger was amazing. The burger was so filling you don't even need the fries but it was a nice added touch. I would definitely recommend if you're in a need of a quick bite to eat. read more

Great food, the burgers and onion rings are amazing. We return to the Mechanicsburg location once or twice a year. It never disappoints, the food is always great. This time the service was outstanding, and very polite. I will return again. read more

Went here on a Saturday afternoon. Great service, wonderful food. I had the chicken blt, the chicken was barely able to fit on the bun!!! My wife ordered an impossible burger... Will return again!!! read more

I'm not sure why the bad reviews - we get this delivered to our workplace when we're in town and it's always good! Even when it's not immediately fresh! They have a burger for everyone, and not just the toppings, they have so many options for the actual meat/veggie option. They definitely cater to EVERYONE which is awesome. I always feel like their burgers are loaded with toppings and worth every penny, the meat is always juicy and tender. Even the sides are good and that's after they've been in a container for 10+ minutes. I will eventually have to try in person, but as far as I can tell, this place is great! read more

Minus one star for extra greasy burgers, greasy floor and lack of cleanliness. Also, food not coming out all at once is a frustrating, but understandable. Impossible Melt was awesome as was the Rodeo Burger. Chili cheese fries, very yummy. I have yet to try the shakes but will in the future. Friendly staff and not a bad experience, will return. read more

My husband and I are carnivore, we love that you can order a la cart. It sucks paying for fries that we won't eat. Getting to customize and add a patty is awesome. Not to mention the burgers taste great! read more

I've seen this name everywhere: nextdoor, restaurant.com, Clipper Magazine, you name it. I just have never got an urge to pay it a visit. Today I was looking for new local small businesses to try and take advantage of Amex's "Shop Small" cash back offer and I came across this one. One item on their menu particularly caught my eye: The Nine Patty Burger! It just looks and feels fun to try. So we ordered one to go. $23.99. The burger was ready sooner than the promised 20 minutes, and it was packed in a double width case, split into two stacks. One stack had the bottom bun, the other, with lettuce, tomato, and the top bun. In between each beef patty is pepper jack cheese (you can choose other kind: American, cheddar, Swiss...etc.). Of course you would assemble it, take a picture, then disassemble it. Let's face it, how else are you going to eat this monster? The three of us worked hard on it, and still, we got 3 patties leftover for snack later on :) To me, it's just another burger albeit funner, but my wife actually loved the natural beef taste. The interior of the restaurant is very spacious and super clean looking. I think there's even a party room behind the dining area. The tables are far apart and all are available for dine in. There's a free standing hand sanitizer by the ordering counter. Overall, everything worked out and we have nothing to complain on this visit. COVID hours: Mon-Thu 4-8; Fri+Weekend: 12-8. Tip: Order from their website, waybackburgers.com, to avoid 10% markup by grubhub. read more

I wouldnt come back here. Being a vegetarian, its hard to find a good veggie burger to begin with, but this one was dismal. Along with that, the topping options were more limited than i have ever seen anywhere. The bun was also the cheapest bun imaginable. I asked for chipotle mayo, and there was so much on it that i only tasted that! Also, the burger fell apart upon biting into it once! My uncle had the single, and he also found it dismal. Tables were a little sticky, lights were very dim. All this, and between me and my uncle, paid way more than what we should have. Bottom line, not going back here. Red robin ftw! read more

Wayback Burgers - CHEEEESY BURGER, CLASSIC, and CAJUN TATER TOTS - Burgers Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Disgusting is the only word there is to describe the food and atmosphere. My husbands burger was so greasy he tasted and felt the grease in his mouth for hours after eating it. The tables were dirty the napkin dispenser and salt and pepper shakers gross and greasy too. The guy who took our order (Indian man) was dirty and kept taking his hat off and running his hands through his hair and touching his face. The whole place could use an overhaul. read more

The service is cold, the food is mediocre at best, and the ambiance is not even 5 guys tier. The online pictures look promising, but the food doesn't come close to meeting expectations. Mac n cheese bites have a weird, old-oil taste. Burgers are dry and unexciting. And you can tell by the chunks in the milk shakes that the ice cream is freezer burnt. The chipotle mayo and the pickles are the only things worth eating here. read more

Wayback Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Stopped at this diner traveling south thru PA. Super clean and the food is amazing. They even have senior specials which I enjoyed. I had broiled Salmon with broccoli salad, crab soup (that was amazing), and pudding. Everyone was friendly. Prices are quite reasonable, unlike all the restaurants where I live in upstate NY. Even stopped into restroom which was very clean. Not the norm these days from my experiences. I Highly recommend this diner. read more

I thought had a $10 off of 20 but nope I had to put my credit card on Yelp I did it before and I'm not going to do it again. And the guy was not helpful with that at all. He was decent but not great for a first time. How I knew about it Yelp so research here first. We both got the cheesy burger which was kinda messy and I got Mac and cheese bits. My hubby got fries with it was good. I still wish for bacon and cheese fries. Not a ton of people for a Sunday lunch time who knows if it is because it is in a stripe mall or something. My thoughts are if there was more people in the building and two people behind the counter would they do it? I would say no because we didn't get our shakes until I already ate most of my stuff. I got chocolate shake and he got a chocolate banana shake. Mine was yummy. He didn't like it didn't have enough banana or it had frozen bananas. He wasn't sure but he didn't like how it turned out. So to me I would give it another chance and try other things. When I asked my husband who is my ride about coming back. It was ok nothing to write home about or to come back to. read more

Wayback Burgers - The cheesy burger and Mac and cheese bits - Burgers Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Never disappoints. Always amazing. What I eat when I'm happy, sad, depressed, wanting to eat my feeling, one size fits all food.

The restaurant was not busy at all, the prices were great, and when we got the food it looked amazing. It tasted even better than it looked! I never finish a whole burger, but here I did, and their milkshakes were great! For a burger, definitely better than most fast food or restaurant burgers I've had. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean, quiet, and very cute. read more

Food was hot and well prepared when it arrived BUT a deep cleaning is badly needed here. Stains and drips were on walls and cabinets. Soft drink machine not well cleaned and front doors and windows smudged and dirty. The cook does not use apron but just a shirt and when wearing gloves don't scratch your face. This place has potential but too much taken for granted read more

I'm new to the area and thought I'd check this place out. I ordered a patty melt with American cheese instead of Swiss (can't stand Swiss cheese) and my son ordered the rodeo burger and we both ordered fries. Took at least 10 minutes to get our order. Fries were undercooked and they put the WRONG cheese on my burger (they put Swiss instead of American that I ordered). SMH. Burger was extremely greasy and not a lot of flavor. They slathered some kind of spread on the patty melt--it was gross. I wish I would have read the reviews before giving this place my money!! I will never eat here again. YUCK. Five Guys is waaaay better. read more

Miserable experience. I was bummed. I wanted this to be decent but it was terrible in several aspects. The young woman taking our order appeared to be bored but did take our order quickly. We ordered a half order of Irish nachos, a kid's meal with a burger, and the combo side of fries and onion rings. They first brought my son's burger but nothing else. By the time the nachos arrived, he was done with his burger. I asked about his side of fries and the other side and the server seemed to have forgotten about them. They finally arrived but were tepid at best and soggy. I asked about the dipping sauces I had ordered. They finally showed up. This all transpired over a 15-20 minute window. Obviously, service was a disaster. The food was pretty miserable, too. The burger was small for the price. My son said it tasted more like McDonald's than Red Robin, in comparison. The sides came in large plates, but the quality was worse than fast food. Yuck. They claim their burgers are fresh. However, everything else tastes like it comes out of a can or freezer bag. Add to all of this the price - which seems way too high for the quality. Never again read more

The food is the only reason the rating is that high. The customer service in the restaurant is trash. I saw a girl flip her hair & instead of washing her hands & changing her gloves she jumped right into prepping food. The app kinda cuts down the wait time but it still takes them beyond the time stated on the app to complete. Like if it says 4:45pm on the app they won't be finished with the order until 5:10pm. read more

Delicious food! Excellent customer service! Very clean environment! Tables were perfectly spaced apart, all of employees were wearing a mask. Thank you for a great experience! read more

I had a burger craving and wanted a truly good burger. To me, and this is just me, a good burger to me consists of a really good quality piece of beef, good seasoning and a slight smoky essence. Those are the basic criteria, again for me, a good burger has to have. Market value for a good burger is typically around $10-15, without sides. Granted, you might have your favorite place already in line that beats that price but that's my price point, across the nation I've come to find. With all of that said, I should've read the reviews here. The burgers didn't meet that basic criteria. The meat was definitely not something you'd expect of a craft burger, which was critical, for a $8-12 burger from their menu. The fries were very fast-foody. They could definitely up the quality of their ingredients. IMHO, 5 Guys is a better option for the price and portion, which is right down the street. The place has a lot of potential, there are just basic misses that they could reevaluate their suppliers on. Oh, but service was decent. The gentlemen helping me was good. Not over the top but he wasn't rude either. read more

Was totally disappointed in the staff and quality of burgers and fries not cooked well and sloppily thrown together.

Been here a bunch of times now and I'm really impresses. Have always been a fan of 5 guys, but I have to admit, this place is better. They have a nice list of options, and my daughter loves the grilled cheese. Son is in love with the fresh Chicken tenders here. Every time I've gotten the classic with cheese, with various toppings, it's just awesome. The burger meat tastes fresh and homemade. The buns here are awesome too. We've also really enjoyed the shakes! The kids meals can opt for milkshakes, and there are a bunch of kinds. I recommend avoiding the mud pie one as it has actual coffee grounds haha, but all others have been awesome. My family asks for this place constantly now, and I'm happy to abide! read more
