Excellent burgers/sides and pleasant, efficient service. The dining room is always very clean. Definitely a favorite place when I'm in the mood for a burger. read more

Our local Monroe friends have recommended my wife and I check out this place as it is under new management. We have today and would definitely suggest it to others. It is extra clean, the staff are courteous and the food is so much better than average fast food. The burgers were tasty and not greasy at all, onion rings and French fries were crispy and made to order. When you go, definitely try their milk shakes! read more

Yummy, forgive me for sinning but lawd I love, love and don't care about my diet sometimes!

Jake's Waybacks Burger has been around and I have eaten there in the past however, there is new management and not only is the food quality but the service was superb. The staff is so friendly and were accommodating to my grand-daughter who is special needs. I give this place 6 stars the food in the pictures do not do it justice. Bonus is 3 if us were doing low carb and gave us burgers without buns! read more

As many times we've have ordered from here the food is simply remarkable. Always fresh and well packaged. What an awesome treat. Keep up the good service. Thanks read more

They make the best milkshakes and the food is so good. I usually order on the weekends but I get milkshakes throughout the week.

I was practically hungry ordered two chicken sandwiches the 1st one was delicious the 2nd one & two bites, I almost puked because of a tiny dead fly on my lettuce. My suggestion is wash your produce before serving them, this will help minimize cross contamination. I broke out in hives 20 min later Orange NY. read more

We have decided to have lunch here after visiting Woodbury Commons. It was the best decision of the day. First, I cannot even refer to this place as fast food. Our food was made fresh to order. French fries and onion rings were extra crispy and hot, Rodeo burger that my husband ordered looked amazing. Hubby said it was the least greasy burger he's had (compared to Five Guys or Shake Shack). I ordered a WB Fish sandwich and the cod in it was a perfect combo of crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. Second, were the shakes! Rich and creamy, so delicious that we have tried three flavors, Black and White, Chocolate and Cafe Mocha. The only way to make those taste better would be to add liquor. Third, the staff really made this place come alive! From the people at the front line, who were courteous and friendly, to the new owner who took time out of his busy day to say hello and ask our opinion on the food. I highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Monroe area, definitely worth a detour. Just remember to bring your flask for that shake read more

We drive up north several times a year. It was this month we found this place. We needed a quick lunch to go. Most of places by highways are junk, but this place is better than I expected. Their "classic" has double burger in it and that's what I had. The ingredient was fresh and sauce was good. My husband was driving, so he didn't want to have double burger which could be messy to eat while driving. He ordered two singles instead. You have to customize to get single burgers. Many choices of sauce. He liked his burgers. I felt wait time was little long , but I was able to see two workers were working hard making burgers. The lady who were making burger was greeting customers very nicely. I liked that. They have many kinds of milk shakes. I want to try next time. This place is definitely a better choice than other junk food restaurants. read more

halal chicken. good service. fast food joint. close to highway , adequate parking. accommodating staff. good place for families with kids

Ordered a large order for work at 2 pm, when we received the order we were missing 2 orders of fries that we were charged for. We called and told them we were missing them, and they were extremely rude on the phone and accused us of lying. Then, at 7 the manager walks into our business (without the fries) and starts sternly telling the cashier that we have a problem because he "personally" watched the cameras and saw someone put the fries in the bag. This is the MANAGER that came into our store just to accuse us of lying for TWO orders of fries. We don't care that much about fries, we just wanted to let them know. read more

Service is great, everyone is very friendly and the food is very fresh and yummy.

Food is average. Fries & chicken tenders were overly greasy. Fries weren't crispy or fresh. They were soft and not very warm.

Burgers are pretty good. Better than anything from Burger King or McDonald's. The staff is friendly and the food is cooked right in right front of you. read more

Very good burgers. Tasty onion rings too. Very friendly staff. Clean restaurant as well.

Good burger. Fresh and juice !!!! My kids love it , clean and friendly polite workers. Fast service !!!!!

SURPRISINGLY GOOD! Better than shake-shack, five guys or any other burger/sandwich take out I have been to. I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich with mac n cheese bites and a lemonade. The chicken was real, fresh and crunchy and coated in a generous amount of buffalo sauce and blue cheese. The mac and cheese bites were also crispy and fresh, and the lemonade was sour and refreshing. I wouldn't say there is a lot of curb appeal from the road but inside is newly renovated, clean and a ton of seats near windows if you want to stay and eat. If I am in the area again I will definitely go back for more. read more

I am very happy that I decided to visit family in New York because we got to stop in and try out this new place. Prior to this visit, I had never heard of this burger chain but now I'm hoping they continue to grow. The burgers here were very delicious, even though they are cooked well, they still retain great taste. I went with the "cheesy" burger and it certainly lived up to the name. I was a little disappointed that they forgot a few toppings I had requested, however they are brand new so I let it slide. The fries here are decent, certainly not the best. Five guys still has way better fries. Another thing to note is that this place was certainly affordable. The prices were beyond reasonable and portions generous. In total, the burgers definitely outshined five guys and I hope that the chain comes down to Bergen county, I would definitely frequent it. read more

Not the freshest, not the best quality burgers. The place didn't look the cleanest and the staff wasn't the friendliest.

Be wary of using online ordering as they may or may not check it. A little annoyed that I ordered online, was billed and came to pick up order and told their system is not receiving online orders, only to have cashier look at screen and say, "oh, here it is". They just didn't check for online orders. Was told they'd have food ready in 12 minutes. They've exceeded that deadline and it's n 50 minutes after I placed my online order I still don't have my food. I'm a repeat customer but this place is always short-staffed. I like the food, but there seems to be an issue every time I come in. UPDATE: I am amending my review as the restaurant owner has gone above and beyond to make amends for the error since my Yelp Review. I have dined twice at Jakes since I posted this review, the service has always been great and the food excellent. I'm still skeptical about online ordering but would recommend Jakes for dine-in and in personal takeout. read more

What a nice place. Food was delicious and the climate feels so friendly. I just stopped in on my way to the doctors and I do not regret it. You need to eat here. The fries were just amazing and the burger, WOW!!! Absolutely coming here again. read more

Wayback Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Monroe, New York

Had the most incredible experience with my family at this chain. Amazing food and amazing service! Definitely get the rodeo burger if you get a chance. Loved the Oreo milkshake as well! read more

I went here for the first time today and unfortunately it was quite underwhelming. The atmosphere and food is that of an average fast food restaurant. I expected the environment to be somewhat aligned with the name of the restaurant. I expected old school "way back" bright retro decor, thick juicy burgers, and large portions of freshly made fries; instead I received average fast food decor, small bland burgers, and four or five semi warm French fries. Needless to say, I wouldn't come here again. read more

Awesome shakes and burgers! Loved it!

I love the ambience and cleanliness of the place. The burgers were very good. The Philly cheesesteaks and milkshakes were ON POINT. Also, the meals were reasonably priced. Will definitely return there soon. read more

This was my first time here, the burger was ok, nothing to brag about (I got the Chipotle w/ a side if fries combo). My order came out to $12.62 which is a bit pricey compared to other burger spots. The side of fries was $3.29 wich is too much for such a small portion of regular fries. Overall the food was ok, I'm pretty sure I won't come back. The staff was no different from any other fast food chain. Take you're order, you sit and wait and they bring your food out to your table number. I was hungry I came I left content. read more

Wayback Burgers - Chipotle burger w/ fries - Burgers Near Me - Monroe, New York

Driving up to Cooperstown with my husband after dropping our daughter at college in NYC. So glad we decided to stop here! Try the cinnamon sugar ice cream sandwich!!! YUM!! Service was really friendly and quick. Bathroom was super clean. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Wayback. I was expecting waitress service but didn't do any research before going. It's counter order and find a seat style ala Fuddruckers or Hardee's. The burgers are cooked to order and way better than fast food. I chose the create your own which allows any topping for no additional charge like Five Guys does. 1 order of fries fed my small family of 3. Good value and way better than any place that has a drive thru. FYI, 4 Beers on tap as well. read more

Wayback Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Monroe, New York

This place used to be a nice little burger joint. A little on the pricier side, but worth it. Owner recently changed and with it the quality has tanked. We waited 30 minutes for burgers, which arrived cold with cheese unmelted. Fast food that wasn't so fast...fries were cold and both chewy and soggy. Stay away and save yourself $$$ by going to Burger King, if you're into that kind of thing. read more

Wayback Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Monroe, New York

This location is staffed by friendly, helpful people. All food is cooked fresh, made to order. They have a discount lunch special burger combo during the week at lunch time. I have been patronizing this location several times a month , and have not been disappointed ! read more

One word. SLOOOOOW!!! Don't expect to walk up to counter, place order and get your food with fast food style quickness. Waited easily 10 minutes but probably more like 15 minutes for 2 milkshakes to go. If we hadn't paid first, I would have walked out. Also, the restaurant had maybe 4 or 5 tables with people max - so it wasn't like they were super busy. The place doesn't seem to have it all together yet. A previous Internet order almost wasn't given to my wife when she went to pick it up because it was in my name. Really? Probably done going there. Can't see it lasting if service stays this slow. I say bring back the old Pizza Hut that used to occupy the building! All that being said, I will still be honest and mention that the chocolate malt was pretty good. read more

Great place, great food and great people. Might not look like much from the outside but it's really great. The food is super fresh and everyone is incredibly friendly. As a bonus the bathroom was incredibly clean. We were passing through and stopped for a late lunch. I wish they were closer to NJ where we live. read more

*I would highly recommend coming here especially if you've never tried Wayback Burgers. I've been here multiple times to try the different items on the menu. I'm not a burger person but this place has delicious, juicy, and still very filling burgers (I guess I've been converted). The double patty is more than enough for a someone with a regular appetite. *Prices match the quality of food that customers are receiving. It's about 7$ with tax for a double, but if you're looking for a cheap patty try Burger King. You can get as many topping as you want for free which is a huge plus. I've been to places like Shake Shack where they charge you for toppings other than lettuce and tomato. *The fries are made fresh so they aren't soggy or sitting under a heater for hours. I've had times where my McDonalds fries were so soggy and cold that I had to throw them out. The onions rings are amazing along with the Mac and cheese bites. My family loves the Irish nachos. When they come out, we are always in awe of how big and delicious they look. *I really enjoy the cheesy burger with grilled onions. The veggie burgers are great too if you're a vegetarian. I was iffy about ordering fish from a fast food place but the cod sandwich was a pleasant surprise. It is extremely flavorful and also not soggy. More people should definitely try it. *Hands down they have the best milkshakes around. They are even better than ice cream shops I've tried before. The cookies and cream is a classic and never fails. I also love the chocolate because it's not too overpowering but just enough to taste it and be refreshing at the same time. Milkshakes are very thick too. *Service is excellent and very fast. I remembering getting my drink, sitting down, and in less than 3 minutes I was served ha! Staff is friendly especially the owner. He always stops by and asks how everything is. *Overall amazing and highly would recommend. Good for kids, adults, families, couples, and all! read more

Service isn't great. My teen asked the cashier a question about the burger below the cash register and she gave him a rude answer with a smug face. The other employees were leaning around. Seems they had too much staff for too little business. Burgers were "ok" in my opinion by my teen thought the ability to order as many burger patties was amazing. Good for kids, but not great for adults. read more

I was weary of going here due to bad reviews however I went today and it was great. The service was good, staff was very friendly. The food was awesome and was on the table very quick. Prices were fair for the amount of food and quality of the food. If I had to compare it to something it would be a mix of 5 guys and shake shack. Overall great experience. Will visit more often read more

Would definitely come back! Great burgers fries onion rings nachos and hand dipped milkshakes. Something for everyone salads hotdogs. Locally owned and operated!! read more

Burgers were ok, but their a little on the pricey side for my blood. We only went their one time to eat. Honestly I much rather go to Burger King across the street to get more if I'm going to pay that much for burgers. read more

Good burgers and a clean restaurant. It's nice seeing how fresh the beef is on the grill. The staff is attentive. All around a no frills spot to grab a good burger. read more

Horrible customer service and I was the most bloated I've been in years after eating their food.

Food was good quality and tomatoes and lettuce were fresh. The horseradish butter burger is delicious. Onion rings are just right. The service and hospitality was excellent. Owner is very friendly and welcoming. I'm from out of town and had been thinking about going to Wayback for some time now. I am so glad I did. A very enjoyable experience. read more
