I did not know how big this place was from the outside driving by you would think that there wasn't much room, especially if you've been next-door you would wonder where the space came from. If you'd like a big open space and a place where you could see outside a lot of window windows this is the place for you. Service wise this one's always really rough for me. I find that it's not an I'm being rude to you type of thing more of an age. When I was growing up, we were much different and I'm starting to realize that it's just kind of the generation growing up the gal that took our order just didn't seem that helpful nor excited about her job which you don't have to be excited about your job. I just like a little bit more politeness. I actually almost decided not to eat there which I'm really glad I did not because the food is really good The chili cheese fries I would say it's probably my favorite. The cheeseburger was great. I couldn't even eat it all very filling. It looked small. At first I will say looks can be deceiving. The one thing I would say is the chicken tenders for children for the kids meal is very tiny. That was disappointing. Their milkshakes are amazing. My grandson got one of the new ones and he was super happy with it. Food I would give a four out of five service I would give a three out of five I am going to rate this place of four although I feel more like a 3.5. I however, believe everybody has the opportunity to grow. I will say my grandson said the chicken was good which makes me happy. My photos make the chicken look a lil bigger than it is. Keep in mind when you come eat here it does take a little bit, but the food is fresh. I will definitely be back for these chili cheese fries, and I want to try some more stuff on the menu. read more

The food is alright. However, their time management is awful. Several times now, we place an order online and are given a pickup time. The food is never ready and we wait at least another 10-15 minutes more. Today, we placed an order and it wasn't ready until 30 minutes after the pickup time. My husband was told another 10 minutes at arrival and it was at east another 20 minutes. Two employees doesn't seem to be enough staff. Or there needs to be a more efficient way to get food out closer to the pickup time. read more

My wife and I came in today 3/29 for lunch. I ordered the craft your own burger and I got crispy chicken, pickles, tomatoes and mayo. Probably the best tasting chicken sandwich I've ever had. Definitely beats chick fil a IMO. The chicken was so thick and juicy. Cooked perfectly all the way through. The fries tasted fresh and crispy! My wife ordered chicken tenders and she said it was delicious! She also ordered a chocolate milkshake and it was amazing! The lady at the counter was really nice and patient since it was my first time and made sure if there was anything else we needed as she brought our food over. Inside was really nice and clean. Compliments to the chef !! read more

This is my 3rd time trying Wayback and the food has satisfied every time! The chili cheese tots were a hit for sure. And so appreciative of the chicken being nice and juicy. The blue raspberry lemonade needed just a dad of sweetener. Getting fries to go hasn't been the best as living about 6 minutes away they shouldn't be as cold if they were fresh and hot. The space is really nice and a great location. read more

I ordered through Grubhub a cheese burger at Wayback burgers and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the burger and ingredients. It appears to be hand man made burgers instead of the usual patties at the usual burger franchises. I will order from them again! read more

WHY WE WENT HERE: - dinner THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located in the plaza of E Commerce Way and Arena Blvd - located in the same plaza as Huckleberry's Breakfast & Lunch THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - you order and pay at the cash register, you seat yourself, and when your order is ready you pick it up at the counter THE MENU: - signature burgers - chicken & more - craft your own - on the side - Wayback boxes - signature shakes - old time favorites - meal deal - kids' menu - drinks WHAT WE ORDERED: - chili cheese fries - Cajun burger with onion rings - bourbon bacon burger with fried pickles THE TASTE: - everything was good! hot, fresh, and seasoned well - I will agree with previous reviews by others that the bacon in the Cajun burger was too thick and unnecessary CUSTOMER SERVICE: - warm and welcoming read more

He's a home run hitter, get back, waaaaaay back. Well, this place certainly didn't hit a home run, but it was pretty good. Place was nearly empty when we arrived, and I don't like it when a place is nearly empty. I like places that are vibing, not sad. Service was good, drink options were good. Prices were reasonable. My only complaint is that fries are purchased separately. Why offer hamburgers with no fries included? Minus one star. read more

It was my first time eating here and the burgers here were really good. I downloaded their app and got free burger. The burger was very juicy and cooked perfectly. The bread was nice and soft. The onion rings were decent but only came with a few. I think I ate them in a few bites only. The regular fries were just regular. Not good, not bad. The oreo milkshake was good also. My kids liked the chicken tenders but they were bland to me. The restaurant was large and very clean. The cashier was helpful in choosing a burger because I told him that it was my first time eating there. I like Habit Burger a bit better but it's not located around the Natomas area. Wayback Burger is a good 2nd option though. read more

My husband stopped here for us and grabbed a quick take out order. It was our first time here so we ended up getting a little bit of everything. He got the Cheeeesy, with four slices of melted American cheese and two beef patties, and I got the Cajun burger with two beef patties, lettuce, tomato, bacon, pepper jack cheese, and their Cajun remoulade. Both of us enjoyed these, but it's definitely a typical fast food burger. The ingredients were fresh and I enjoyed the Cajun burger, although the bacon was super thin and chewy- I could have done without it. We ordered the buffalo chicken tenders and the flavor was great on these but they did get a bit soggy from the sauce on the way home. Not a big deal though, still really tasty. We also got the Cajun tater tots, the fried cheese curds, and fried pickles. Each of these was fried well and were perfect sides for the burgers. it's definitely worth checking out. read more

Been here a few times now and the app is sort of lame because it won't let you use more than one offer at a time. For example if you use the Wednesday BOGO classic coupon it does not allow you to order Happy Hour shakes even on a separate order. Furthermore the Happy Hour offer says "discount will be applied at checkout " wrong it charged me full price. The place itself is large for a burger spot with plenty of tables. The burgers are big and you can add toppings like mushrooms , jalapeño and grilled onions just to mention a few free of charge. Taste wise their burgers are good but nothing special. Their chicken tenders are tender and crispy but the portion was small inside the $9.99 combo box. The double cheeseburger box is the best item on the menu. We have onion rings and tots. The onion rings were perfect however my tots look undercooked. Shakes are tasty and reasonably priced at $5 during Happy Hour from 2-5pm Wayback is not going to beat out any gourmet spots but they are a big step above fast food burgers. read more

Wayback Burgers - Chicken Tenders Box $9.99 - Fast Food Near Me - Sacramento, California

Was doing my trip to Costco and wanted a bite and stumbled into this place. I was able to pop in quickly and the food was ready within ten minutes. You order at the front of the restaurant and take a seat, staff were friendly. The space was clean and the food was good. I got a bourbon bacon burger & cheese fries, burger was solid, I do wish there were more fries and texture was more crunchy on the outside/soft on the inside. The shake was delicious - I had a brownie shake (no whip). I'd come back read more

Super exciting that a new burger joint opened in the area! We stopped by on opening day, and it was a mess trying to order. I had downloaded the app, and the app wasn't working. We tried to order, and the staff had difficulty ringing up the order. We offered to return at a later time. A couple das later we rolled in, and had tried to pre-order on the app. Yay for the free burger! The app is a mess though. Coupons on the app can't be stacked, and it takes 24 plus hours to load de another coupon. It feels like bait and switch. The burgers are okay. The buns are soft and sweet, and the best part of the burger. If you enjoyed the Golden Arches back in the 70/80's, this tastes like that. The meat was overcooked and under seasoned. Neither of the burgers were prepared as ordered. The onion rings were sad. Pricey and not very many. They were not greasy, which is good, but super dry and unseasoned. The Wayback sauce is gross. Get the ranch. It's watery, but so much better than the Wayback. The aqua Fresca fruit flavor was decent, but it was watered down, and tasted like they're cutting corners for the drinks also. Food is pricey, service is slow, but okay. The parking lot is tight, and shared with numerous businesses. I might go back to try their five dollar shake, which is normally close to eight dollars, or if they have some super promo, I might grab a different burger, but I don't think this is going to be in the regular rotation of places to go. read more

When I come here, it's usually afterward and each time it has been a pleasant experience.There are maybe a couple other tables there, and the wait is not very long.

We came here for National Burger Day when they had a deal for $5 cheeseburger, limit 2 per person! We ordered 2 burgers each and saved the second ones for lunch the next day. The interior was pretty utilitarian with just the menu and other advertisements as functional decor. There were many tables in the seating area and it seemed like it could host large parties. Offerings: - Cheeseburger: We ordered our burgers with pepper jack cheese and all the toppings. Delicious flavor and all the ingredients tasted fresh. My only complaint was the entire burger was very oily. Not sure if that was just from the burger party or if extra oil or butter was added. And the oil was still present when we reheated the burgers the next day. - Cheese curds: these were good, but not great. They were fried a little over, and you didn't have the same texture that you would expect with cheese curds. I would recommend Yard House's cheese curds instead. - Tater Tots: Solid, no complaints. Exactly what you expect. - Oreo Shake: My friend ordered this and she seemed to like it! Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way for this but would definitely hit it up if there was a good deal! read more

I ordered the chicken tenders and tater tots. The chicken tenders were very small and no flavors and the tater tots had a decent amount. The food was not great, I would not recommended. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything worth trying and certainly not worth the money. I was pretty disappointed and I ordered barbecue sauce and they didn't put it in my order which I didn't realize until once it was home. read more

I'd give them a few more weeks to work the kinks out. My A1 Burger was seriously disappointing - very bland with only a dot of sauce and sprinkling of onions.

I've been to Wayback Burgers in Natomas a couple of times and I would say it is a solid 4 stars. The Classic burger which is two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, and mustard is my go-to burger at $9.99. The cashier asks if I want any item left off or if I want to select the cheese (the default is American but was offered a substitution of Cheddar, Swiss, or Pepper Jack). For an extra $4.99, I can add a regular size fries and drink. I can then upgrade a drink to a milkshake for $3,89. The hamburgers are well made and taste great. The lettuce and tomato slices are very fresh. Their fries are also well made and tasty. It took 10 minutes for my order to be ready but I felt the food was worth the wait. The cashier called out my name and bought the food to the table I was sitting at. Service was very friendly. I haven't had their milkshakes, onion rings, or chicken sandwiches but would like to try them in my future visits. I dined in and the dining room was nice and clean. I recommend Wayside Burgers in Natomas. read more

Wayback Burgers - Classic burger (two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, and mustard) with a side of fries - Fast Food Near Me - Sacramento, California

We've come here a few times, and I really wanted to like this place, but man do they make it hard. The first couple of times we visited, there were minor mistakes with our order, but we dined in so our issues were corrected. This last time we got our order to go...big mistake. First off my wife ordered the Cajun Burger with an impossible patty. The cashier asked what type of cheese would she like, and she said cheddar. My wife also added crispy onion straws. I ordered a burger with fries. When our order was ready, I checked the bag, and there were no fries. That got corrected. When we got home my wife noticed the following. First, no cajun spread on the Cajun Burger. Second, no cheese at all. Third, no crispy onion straws. These burgers aren't cheap, and to have this many mistakes on a single burger is very disappointing. I called the restaurant and spoke with the cashier who rang us up( very nice lady), and I explained the mistakes that were made. Now I don't know if there's a language barrier or if someone just can't read, because the cashier rang up our order correctly, and everything was printed on the receipt. She offered to remake the burger if we came back. Bro I'm not driving back over there. And I tipped before we got our food which I don't like doing for this very reason. So basically all we got was a I'm sorry bro. I was thinking about taking a friend there within the next couple of days, but I won't be doing that. I don't think I'll be coming back period. Too expensive and too many mistakes. That's a done deal for me. read more

Love this location! Our burgers/sandwiches came out so nice and fresh! Onion wings were fire and customer service was fantastic! Such a beautiful and clean spot for lunch or dinner! Awesome addition to Natomas read more

Great first experience at this location and as our first Wayback burger taste, we'd most likely may revisit this establishment. Food summary; - It was good, chicken was moist, even for the kids tenders. Buffalo sauce is slightly less tangier than others, but we did enjoy that fact. The burger was well cooked/seasoned . And the shake, definitely on the slighter runny side. It tasted good, no chunks of brownie in it aside from flavoring, but I believe it's a preference thing on how you'd like it. What did we get? - buffalo chicken sandwich - kids 2 piece tenders - Wayback classic sandwich (with Swiss cheese, they have an assortment to choose from) - brownie shake Service: We stopped by the mid afternoon a bit after lunch hours, so it was mellow. But staffing was friendly and there's much to learn as it's a new establishment. The place had only 2 people running it at the time, timing wasn't too bad. We waited approximately about 15 minutes for all of our food. read more

This burger spot has so much potential but I have to agree with the other constructive reviews that if they don't make some changes, I don't see this business lasting. The staff were super friendly. And the shake tasted great. That's where the positives end. The shake wasn't even filled to the top of the cup. Whipped cream was used as a filler. The burgers were completely tasteless and toppings were SUPER cheaply added. There was only a trace of mayo and like 4-5 chopped onions scattered. Not good when the patty tastes horribly like ground beef without any seasoning. Step it up Wayback! The onion rings & tots were crispy but super greasy like the oil wasn't hot when they were dropped. You also don't get much for the hefty price. The ranch is like fast food ranch so it's not tasty either. The lemonades were watered down and the whole drink station needed attention. Lids were almost gone, and the lemonade containers almost empty. I hope the owner pays more attention to the honest Yelp reviews instead of just responding to the google ones because this location is prime for what this place has the potential to be. Stop being cheap with the burger toppings and portions of sides & shakes, season the burger and have better management of the floor. read more

New restaurant opening is always hard, takes awhile to get the kinks out and get a good flow so I think most of the negative reviews here should be taken with a grain of salt.

the hamburger was just ok ! 5 guys to me is bigger and better. we ordered the double bacon cheeseburger, an a original cheeseburger . the bacon was so hard to tear apart and very chewy ? the we ordered a large fry not that much ? service took over 20 minutes to get, only 2 other people in there? very clean restaurant bathrooms clean service staff was good, just wouldn't go back or recommend , sorry read more

My initial observation is that the restaurant that is not busy at 4:45. Only 5 people including me. Second, they should be able to turn a meal around faster. It took 15+ minutes for a burger and onion rings. Burger was average at best. This is not the place for a quality burger. I doubt I will return. read more

Tried this place for the first time today. Was excited to have a new burger place near my house. To be honest was disappointed. I ordered the bourbon bacon burger. It wasn't very flavorful and the onion rings were good. But the serving was three very small rings. I wish this place luck but I prefer Monsoon Burger. read more

Having recently relocated to Sacramento from Los Angeles, I was in search of a decent burger place. Sadly, Wayback Burgers didn't meet my expectations. The Cajun tater tots were overly salty and lacked genuine Cajun flavor. The hot dog was very ordinary, and the burgers were only mediocre. The onion rings were soggy and not worth their cost. I will continue looking for a better burger spot, but as I mentioned, Wayback Burgers isn't the one. read more

3 times.. 3 chances.. sadly... not another. 1st time - husband picked up two burgers and fries. Greasy, underwhelming.. just not good all around very disappointing for the price. Had some family over, they wanted burgers, we suggested giving it another shot. Even worse. Even greasier. There were 6 of us and everything was highly disappointing again. Today, out on a bike ride with son. Thought - let's get a shake, we hadn't tried those there yet. Pop in, order 2 small shakes. Wait.... Wait... wait.... Wait... see others waiting. I understand things are made to order, etc., but it ended up being 32 minutes before we got our two milkshakes to-go. My four year old was super patient, but dang 32 minutes for a shake!? Then... it wasn't even good! We didn't finish them. :(. It wasn't filled to top, it had some weird waxy whipped cream on top. We got a strawberry and an Oreo and neither one of them were something I would want again. Just too liquidy/ and overly sweet. Bummer dude. read more

Came here today Sunday-8/24/25. When my family came in it looked super clean and staff were very friendly. We got 2 classic burgers , onion rings, and a kids burger meal (comes with fries and a drink). The burgers were decent size for all orders. The onions rings and fries with the ranch were great. The burgers were good however they were a tad bit salty and loaded with ketchup and mustard which I did not like. We got the Oreo cookie shake which was good. This was our first time trying this place. I think we would come back but just ask them for less ketchup and mustard or on the side. 3.5 rounded up is 4 star but hopefully next time we can update this number. read more
