Wayback Burgers is located in Milpitas. I was headed North on I-880 when there was a traffic jam due to flooding on the shoulder of the freeway. I spotted this Burger place off the freeway with lots of cars in the drive-through area. I decided to exit and check it out. It turns out the drive-through area was for the Starbucks next door. The Burger place had guests waiting in line and/or waiting for their orders. I got in line. The prices were higher than most fast food Burgers places. I got to the front and placed my order. The young lady working the counter was friendly and helpful -- the only person on duty at the time. I took a seat. The guests before me got their orders in a timely and orderly fashion. While waiting. I noticed the halal sign at the counter. After a short wait, I got my order. The young lady apologized for the wait. I ended up eating in my car while stuck in traffic. The Tater Tots did the trick. The Big Way (the Burger I ordered) was good and filling. If I'm in the area, I would make a trip back. read more

The burgers were amazing. It took me back to my childhood days of a great burger. Anyone that wants a really great burger then this is a must go to place. It's a little out of the way but more than worth the drive. The place is clean and staff is friendly. read more

Very bad customer service while taking orders. The cashier needs to check his attitude. Food quality average.

Stop by earlier on in the day and grabbed food for my family. In each box there was exactly 12 fries. What a ashame that $80 got you getting up and turning on the air fryer with leftovers after we ate our meal. Aside from the burger and food their customer service was poor when we called in and asked, thy stated we were wrong and didn't apology what so ever read more

The store location is really pretty inside--very clean and nicely maintained. However, that's where the positives stopped. I wasn't greeted when I walked in, and it took 30 minutes to make my chicken wrap, even though there was only one other person in line. I thought the order was already being prepared, but it didn't seem like it. Very disappointing experience. read more

Looking for a flavorful halal burger spot in the Bay Area? I checked out Wayback Burger in Milpitas, and it did not disappoint! They proudly serve 100% Zabiha Halal burgers, making it a must-visit for halal food lovers. I ordered the Cajun Burger, and it was packed with bold spices and juicy perfection. Every bite had that flavorful Cajun kick! To top it off, I paired it with a Brownie Milkshake -- thick, creamy, chocolatey heaven in a cup. The ambiance is cozy and modern with plenty of seating, and the vibe is welcoming. The owner was super friendly, and his partner was incredibly kind -- you can feel the passion and hospitality the moment you walk in. Zabiha Halal Certified Great service & chill vibes Delicious and satisfying meals If you're around Milpitas, this place is a hidden gem you shouldn't miss! Food: 10/10 Service: Friendly & personal Ambiance: Spacious & clean Overall: Worth every bite! read more

We stopped here for a super early dinner (4:45pm) on Sunday since my kiddo was too hungry. The restaurant is next to Starbucks - in a small complex behind Chevron gas station. Honestly, I had low expectation of the food from reading the review but the food was surprisingly tasty. We ordered 2 Classic burgers & 1 french fries. There were 2 people tending the store. Even when there were only few customers, it took us about 15 mins to get our food. - classic burger: tasty! The bun were soft & the double patties were surprisingly flavorful & cooked perfectly. - french fries: we had to wait an additional of 10 minutes after we got the burgers. But the fries were hot & crispy - pretty good (nothing spectacular). The guy gave me choice of dipping sauces & I chose Ranch (taste ok just like store bought one). Maybe it was my lucky day that they had 2 people in the store that my waiting time wasn't too bad. Price was affordable. Will drop by if I pass the area & crave burger. read more

I tried the Cajun burger. and it was one of the best and juiciest burgers I've ever had. It was absolutely delicious and hit the spot perfectly. Highly recommended! read more

With such wonderfully warm staff, scrumptious burgers, delicious sides and a sparklingly clean environment, it's almost impossible to believe that the store only opened it's doors on the 1st of October under this new management. Thank you and the best of luck to Shauna, Reza and the rest of the team. Jazakumullah! read more

I had a five star review for this place 6 months ago and I loved it but after coming here again with my friends we were super disappointed. I come here all the time and its great but the staff worker who always says "cheers" was not nice or welcoming. He was super stingy and acted as we were not customers. Im truly disappointed and miss the old experience. It was way better when the owners ran the place. The food is still great and the environment is amazing however that staff member is the reason why Ill never come again. I introduced so many people to this restaurant and came over 100 times but after the disrespect I have received I will just go somewhere else where they care about the customers. read more

Wayback was giving away free chocolate milkshakes this past Saturday to kick off the summer. Yes, cold creamy milkshakes on a hot day... chocolate flavored... for free! Obviously, I gave in to temptation. And while I was at it, I decided I might as well try one of their burgers since I pass by this burger joint all the time and have never given them the time of day. I ended up getting the cheeeeeeesy burger (yes I added extra E's cuz it's that cheesy! even with just the typical two slices of cheese). It's definitely buttery in taste, but not excessive. And the meat was juicy and fresh, cooked right in front of you. It may not look like much when you unwrap it, but it has great flavor and is very satisfying for a small, simple, two-patty burger. I also love how customizable it is, you can pretty much add whatever sauces and fixings you want, up to 16 toppings at no extra cost, plus choose your preferred cheese (American, cheddar, pepperjack, or swiss). I opted for grilled onions and American cheese. The chocolate milkshake? Well, it's made with Blue Bunny ice cream so that's cool, but you could tell it was a cheap shake, comparable to what you'd get at In-N-Out, but with a little less chocolate flavor, so maybe the proportion of milk to ice cream didn't have the right balance. Still, I can't really complain on Free Shake Day! Chocolate is chocolate. The place was pretty empty when I visited, only a couple customers in and out while I waited for my order which was less than 10 minutes. The restaurant was clean and presentable, yes the tables, floor, kitchen, and entire environment, and it's very spacious inside... no complaints. Parking was easy too, there's a shared parking lot with Starbucks next door. Are they overpriced? Yes. Would I return? Sure. But not for their milkshakes. read more

Located next to a starbucks, lots of parking & literally no one inside of the vicinity but the cashier who happens to also be the cook, I also understand because it's not a busy establishment and most likely is a franchised business so the owner has to put in work & cannot hire people because business is not crack'n. Owner is friendly & super helpful when you ask questions about what's on the menu. They have a variety of things to chose from & all the items we ordered were pretty good. If we ever happen to be in the area, we would stop by again read more

Slow, only one kiosk to order. Nobody greeting you. Long wait to get a burger and fried pickles. Need to improve wait times. read more

Disappointed for the value for the money, not returning due to cleanliness issues. I was drawn to the BOGO offer for a cheeseburger. The burger was good, above average, but not worth $10.00 - This should be priced in the $6-$8 range for the value - it's smaller than expected as well. Most successful restaurants and businesses attempt to say Hi, I'll be with you, not here. The real issue is the friendliness and cleanliness of the location. I have been there 4 times before, 3 of the 4 I left after several minutes of no one acknowledging I was there, or taking my order. Clenliness is a concern. The floors inside had a sticky feel, and the cement outside the store was deep, greasy black, showing the tracking of shoes leaving the store to the outside. This makes me wonder what the overall cleanliness is. read more

placed my order at 10:24, it was marked ready for pickup at 10:39, and I went in to pick it up and they said it was almost ready, but I had to wait until 8:11 until it was actually ready...for a burger and fries read more

The burgers are good and you can customize them any way you'd like. They cook all the burgers to order, and the customer service at this location is fantastic. You can tell that the owner really cares about their customers. read more

This place's management is clearly a joke, took over 50 minutes for me to get a single burger when I ordered in the restaurant. Only 2 people working for dinner time on a friday night, completely ridiculous. I could have gone to a full service restaurant for less time & money. Utterly unacceptable read more

The food is amazing. I used to eat at this location about 10 years ago and I always had the plan to come back I'm here today. They have garlic Romano fries and added more to the menu. They still have the amazing and signature burgers that your family become used to, but the additions are awesome I live a distance away, but it isn't worth the drive. read more

Food took 20 minutes to make but considering it was made FRESH this is by far my go to spots for a juicy burger. This place definitely took the medal over any fast food restaurant! Ambiance is good I love that we could see the cooks making our food it just makes the experience that much better to know it's being made fresh on the spot and not just taken from a heat lamp. Customer service was great. I love their chipotle sauce and barbecue sauce they have so much flavor packed into them. There's nothing like freshly made French fries and juicy delicious burgers! I rated this place a 10/10. read more

After months of driving past this place my partner and I finally decided to try it out. I was surprised it wasn't very busy for a Saturday afternoon. We ordered a Oktoberfest burger, an order of cajun tots and two drinks--all came out to a little over $24-not a bad price for a Halal burger. The meal was really good, the burger was cooked perfectly and presented nicely. The tots were crispy but not too salty. Overall a really great spot and will definitely be back. read more

I saw this all the time going from and to The Fremont Auto Mall, Seagate, and Tesla Fremont Factory. It's so recognizable, distinguished, and in a unique looking building seeing it on the highway. It's in what they say, a good location. To be honest, I haven't had a Wayback Burgers in 4 years. This time, for this one order, I had to get it at this particular location for some reason. I'm sure this is in Milpitas. It seems like I've been in Silicon Valley a lot lately, haven't I? This is another spot closed Midnight or 12 AM. Sometimes Wayback Burgers is as good as In-N-Out Burger, or slightly better to me. I usually got the Cheeeesy Burger, it's a great choice. Simple and classic Cheeseburger. But I wanted something different this time, they got an additional item made available recently that I didn't see on there then that I really want now. There's nothing more All-American than a Cheeseburger. This is the Double Cheeseburger Pregame Box with Tater Tots and a Red Velvet Milkshake. You heard me, I said Red Velvet Milkshake. Red Velvet Milkshake might be as outrageous but creative as Red Velvet Pancakes. Why would you do such a thing like that? Red Velvet Milkshake? It taste like it's seasonal or limited time only. Everything is neat, organized, and clean at this location. It didn't have a lot of people when I got here. It's Monday, restart of the business week and there should be more people here. I'm surprised that it's Halal and when I pointed that out, they were slightly caught off guard and asked me what I know about Halal. I actually know a lot of things about Halal. I guess this is where a lot of Big Tech people go, all I see are city people here. The Cheeseburger is delectable. Everything was fresh and the Beef is high quality and Premium. The Tater Tot is way more crunchier than Sonic Drive-in. And the Red Velvet Milkshake, taste like a Strawberry Milkshake with a hint of Red Velvet in it. I'm also surprised that I can see a real chunk of Red Velvet Cake in it, sensational. I was thinking this was going to be a 4.0 stars, this could be a 4.1 stars on a good day, but I give this a flat 4 stars. read more

I live so close by and I dont know why i have not been coming here this whole time. I do remember trtying Wayback burgers a long time ago probably when they first opened and it was not good from what I remember. But since then it looks like thers definitely a change in ownership and they are offering Halal so we gave it a try because we wanted burgers but not a "fast food" burger. Ordered online, pick up was fast and the burgers were amazing and delicious!!!!! Buns were fresh and the meat was delicious. Fries were good we actualky wanted more and ordered again for lunch the next day. Also, the 2 guys that worked there were really nice and friendly. read more

Don't come if you want to wait, I've been here for 30 minutes, the foods not ready yet! The couple in line have been here since I got here and they haven't even got there food either! As of now, two stars, haven't even tried the food. read more

A few days ago, I placed a pick up order for 14 burgers at Wayback, and I was very impressed by the service and timeliness! Almost each signature burger had some sort of modification, and we had a few make your owns in our order too. The woman taking the order over the phone was kind, patient, and organized, taking initials down for each order. When we went for pickup, each order was placed in an individual bag with initials for everyone in our party to know whose order was whose, which was awesome! Wayback also gave us extra sauces. I am so impressed that our large order was 100% correct and so delicious! read more

Rating: (1/5) I rarely leave one-star reviews, but I feel compelled to warn others about this place. Summary: Despite claiming to be a halal burger joint, the restaurant was dirty, smelled and served clearly old meat and oil. The food was nowhere near worth the price, and the overall experience felt unsafe and unsanitary. Key Issues 1. Unsanitary Conditions * The counters and prep surfaces where they wrapped my food looked grubby and were clearly customer-facing. * Food handlers wrapped my wraps directly on the same customer counter--no protective barrier, gloves, or even a clean cutting board. * The flat grill used for burgers and wraps was coated with previous burger flakes and oils 2. Old and expired -Smelling Meat & Oil * Both the burgers and bacon tasted rancid, with a sharp, unpleasant odor. * I'm convinced they're using expired ground beef and reusing the same oil for too long. * Every bite left a funny taste in my mouth, and the aftertaste lingered badly. 3. Misleading Marketing * The menu photos look picture-perfect, but the reality is completely different. * The wraps fell apart, the burger patties were grayish around the edges, smaller than what you see on the pictures , and nothing tasted fresh. 4. Poor Value * For the price they charge, I expected at least decent quality and cleanliness. * Instead, I felt I was paying premium prices for stale ingredients and an unclean environment. Final Thoughts I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a fresh, clean, or truly halal burger experience. If they continue operating like this, I doubt they'll stay in business long. Avoid at all costs if you do t want to get sick eating here read more

Actually sitting here waiting for my order. I placed it 30 minutes ago and it isn't ready yet. Only one group ahead of me with six people. Three DoorDash drivers have come and pick up food in that time. There are only two people working, one of which is a trainee. Who is usually pretty good but this time wait is ridiculous. The place is clean and there's plenty of parking. This is the first time I've ever had to wait this long for the food. read more

Had walked by this place two prior nights and it seemed fairly busy. On my third night staying nearby, I needed quick takeout to go work in my hotel. I walked over and ordered a custom single burger, a combo side of onion rings and fries, and an order of 4 buffalo tenders. I tried them immediately on the walk back to avoid steam ruining them, and the 3 fries I ate were delicious. The onion ring I tried was so bad I tossed it into a sewer. Tiny and soggy and flavorless. Got to my room and pulled out the fries and rings combo order. They did tell me the combo had 4 rings and half a side of fries but these rings are a joke. All 4 are tiny. Steer clear. All 4 were the same. The fries were still crispy and delicious. stick with those. The chicken tenders were almost an afterthought when I ordered but were the big surprise. Excellent white meat tenders, good crispy breading, great moist chicken. The burger was also quite good. Toppings were evenly distributed around the bun both top and bottom. Service was friendly. Yes it took over 15 min but I would expect that when a place custom cooks your order. I would come back. read more

Do not order the chili cheese fries. They say it's chili but it sure doesn't look like it. Also, $7 for this disrespectful plate. Literally no cheese, about two tablespoons of chili and a bunch of old fries. Burgers are over cooked and dry- and the lettuce is super gross. Definitely go somewhere else if you want a decent burger. This isn't it. read more

I'm so sorry to leave a poor review but this place is definitely in need of improvements. I came here one night because I wanted to eat a halal burger. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and side of drink and tater tots. Unfortunately, the portion was very small and something was off with the taste of everything, especially the tater tots and fountain drink. There was also a small amount of bacon that I regretted paying extra for it. I'm not sure whats in the oil that's used to cook the food in because everything looked presentable but taste was truly not good. Also the meal was very expensive. It cost about $20 including tax for one burger, fries and a drink for ONE person. A bit steep and bad quality. I hope they fix this place up because no one is going to come back here if they have the same experience. On another note, I would give the worker 5 stars if I could. He was working alone and doing a lot all by himself but stayed courteous and professional despite working very hard. read more
