    My daughter speaks highly of this place as she ate my vegan burger the last time so I can't really tell you how it tastes. She was barely seated when I noticed and it was almost gone. Guess that speaks volumes. Update: Almost two years later I can say myself the burgers here are delicious. Food cooked to order and great customer service.

    The food here is great! Service was pretty on par but the best thing about this place was how clean and how chill the environment here was! Will come again

    I seriously don't understand the bad reviews. If I prefer at the counter and before I get my food I am asked to tip that is an automatic minus 1 start for me..... pay your people. If not for that this would have been 5 stars. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and the service was fast. We ordered the garlic Romano fries. Probably the best seasoned fries i have had. They were hot and crispy, had enough garlic and cheese so you know it is there. My wife had the double bacon burger. She said it was great but could only eat half because it was too much food. I had the spicy melt. I added jalapeños. When it was served, I thought they forgot the peppers. The young lady smiled and said check under the patty. This was a great move. There were plenty of peppers and because the patty held them in place they didn't fall out The only comment is that the bun is to soft for a burger that is allowed to hold some juice. It will fall apart if you are not careful.

    This was my first experience at Wayback Burgers. I was in town for the week, and my Aunt had a buy one signature burger, get a classic burger free. The burgers were a nice size, but a little too greasy for me so I may be a little bias. To be fair, I reintroduced beef back in my diet about a year and half ago, so I don't think I'm used to eating burgers anymore. The milkshakes did look decadent, but I thought it might be too much with the burger and fries. Overall, an okay experience for a person wanting an indulgent cheat meal. If you like burgers, milkshakes, chili dogs, or fries this may be right up your alley.

    Juicy burger

    My family is addicted to this place and although it's a little pricey they have the best customer service! Very cute little spot; I feel like if it were bigger they could make it have the retro feel. The food is pretty good - I mean you can mess up a burger and fries lol. The shakes are great.

    Service was good, we came in mid afternoon so they were not busy at all. It was quiet. We got a spicy melt and a double burger plus the garlic romano fries. I thought the burger was juicy and fresh. Very good ... the bread was soft - so soft it fell apart and I had to get a fork and knife. The fries though!! They were so good! Great flavor not over powering just good!

    Food was great. Service was fast and easy. Facility was clean and cool even though the summer heat. I'd highly recommend stopping by and giving them a try. They're not stingy with their portions.

    If you want a quick quality burger, this is the place for you! Service was excellent, friendly & fast. Restaurant hosted their grand reopening and was updated & clean. Not suitable for groups as seating is limited. We will be back!

    3 employees, 2 males and 1 female...the tables were dirty. The garbage was over flowing, the 3 employees didn't wash hands1 time as I could see, and as we were waiting for our food, all 3 employees were in the back, 1 chewing on ????, 2 employees were on their phones with all this to clean and take care of, and when we left, still did not clean.

    Good music choices

    The food is good, short wait and polite staff but please train your staff on how to obtain the "free milk with order" as advertised. The poor kid had to ask how to 2 different people on how to ring up the free milk shake with our order and he couldn't get any help so we just paid for the milk shake. It was good also.

    Was visit from out of town and my daughter and her boyfriend recommended this burger spot. I was highly impressed with the service and the food. So impressed that when my husband and brother arrived I took them. My husband is a burger guy so if he said it was good it was good. Here in Virginia we have Five Guys... I think they could give them a run for their money and the prices were better than Five Guys.

    Classic with o-fries
    Lindsay S.

    It's been a while since I've been to a Wayback Burgers. I was in the mood for a juicy (okay, greasy) burger and fries. Wayback hit the spot! The restaurant is small - only about 6 tables and a counter, but the decor is fun. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly. We waited ~15 minutes for our food. Everything was hot and fresh! My classic burger was exactly how I wanted it - super juicy and loaded with cheese. I also ordered the mac n' cheese bites, also yummy. My husband got a burger, which he enjoyed, and the o-fries. I always struggle to decide on fries or onion rings - the o-ring option (a basket of a mix of both) is the perfect side order in my eyes! If you're looking fast food then this isn't your place. Wayback is made-to-order and well worth the wait!

    CHILI CHEESE FRIES
    Michelle W.

    If you are looking for a FRESH burger... not pre-wrapped and assembled-seconds-before-you-receive-it, this is the place to go! Wayback Burgers is one of those establishments that are a hidden, unspoken gem in Savannah. This place is proof that you don't have to go to Applebee's or Ruby Tuesdays for a delicious, fresh made-to-order burger. The Tanger location is smaller than the other location on Abercorn, so seating is limited. However, we have always managed to snag a seat. They carry different varieties of burgers, cheese-steaks, and milkshakes, including their coveted chill cheese fries, which are worth the trip in itself. If you choose to dine in, your order is brought to your table, steaming hot! Just like I like it! The fries are crispy and the chill and cheese on top melt in your mouth! The burgers are juicy, loaded with condiments and surrounded by a soft bun. I cannot say enough good things about the food! The staff is always courteous. They greet you upon entry and departing and constantly check up on you to see if you're good. I definitely recommend Wayback Burgers if you want a decent burger and fries experience!

After waiting for 15 minutes ( in a not too crowded restaurant) I inquired about our order. "We're working on it" Standing there waiting I watched people come in, order and receive their food. At the 30 minute mark we got our meals. Surprisingly most things were cold. Also missing an order of cheese bites. Went to rectify the situation and somehow a single order of fried cheese took another 10 minutes! My food had no residual heat by the time I got to it. I really don't expect a fine dining experience at a fast food restaurant but they need to do better. Most tables were dirty and in the 50+ minutes we were there no one came to wipe them down. We were in town for a visit and excited for Cookout. This couldn't have been more disappointing!

They all rushed us thru so quickly I never saw dessert at the very end mixed in with the veggies. Slow DOWN!! Let folks see all the beautiful food & "shop" just a little.

And unfortunately, this will be my second negative review concerning a cheesesteak from a restaurant in Savannah. I know this is not the part of the country that typically eats cheesesteaks, but my God, this can't be the best Savannah has to offer. I'm not even comfortable calling this a cheesesteak because of the bun and the complete lack of cheese. There was a small squirt of cheese whiz under the meat, but nowhere near enough to cover the entire sandwich. And as you can see from the picture, this is probably closer to a chopped steak sub then it is to a cheesesteak. The Sole bright spot were the fries which weren't great, but were at least fried all the way through and mostly crispy. I definitely want to like this place because of their selection of hot dogs on the menu, but now I'm a bit reluctant to try it out again.

The owner was very friendly and made us feel welcome, which added to the experience. The atmosphere has that old-school diner feel that's getting harder to find these days. It's also conveniently located not far off I-95, making it an easy stop for travelers or locals. If you're looking for burgers, sandwiches, breakfast, and other diner favorites, this place is definitely worth a visit. If diner-style food isn't your thing, it may not be for you, but for those who enjoy classic American comfort food, Ronnie's is a great choice.

    This was, without question, the worst experience I've ever had at a Sonic Drive-In. We spent nearly…read more$50 on our order, and almost nothing about it was right. The problems started the moment we received our food. One entire cheeseburger combo was missing. The crispy chicken sandwich was made incorrectly despite the order being clearly customized. Both frozen drinks were either made wrong or were so melted that they were overflowing out of the cups before we even left the stall. I politely informed an employee about the missing burger and incorrect sandwich. What should have been a simple fix turned into an absolute circus. It took three different employees, including the manager, and five separate trips between the restaurant and our car before they finally managed to get the order right. The most disappointing part wasn't even the mistakes--it was the attitude. The blonde female manager acted like I was inconveniencing her because they failed to make the order correctly. There was no apology, no urgency, and no concern whatsoever that we had already been waiting while the rest of our food sat getting cold. By the time everything was finally corrected, the burgers, tots, fries, mozzarella sticks, and chicken bites were cold, and the frozen drinks were completely melted. We essentially paid $50 for food that was no longer worth eating. The restaurant itself looked dirty and run-down, which unfortunately matched the level of service we received. Fast food isn't cheap anymore. When customers are spending this kind of money, the expectation is simply to receive the order they paid for and to be treated with basic respect when mistakes happen. This location failed on both counts. Sonic corporate seriously needs to take a hard look at this restaurant. The food quality, order accuracy, customer service, and management all need immediate attention. This location is damaging the Sonic brand, and unless something changes, I won't be returning. Avoid this Sonic if you value your time and your money.
