2.5 stars. Ordered for delivery via Uber Eats. The hot dog was the worst I've ever had--very overcooked & chewy, wrong toppings (gave yellow mustard instead of honey mustard) and it was smeared all over in excess, just sloppy & inedible. Burger had no juiciness or seasoning, the only flavor came from the toppings. Banana shake was decent, nothing memorable, and tater tots were ok. Strawberry hibiscus agua fresca was overly sweet. read more

Satisfies the burger itch! While it Secaucus I was looking for somewhere to have a good burger and Wayback Burger was around the corner. Inside is clean and reminiscent of Shake N Steak for those that know that place. Ordering was on a kiosk so you barely have any interaction with staff. The had a good offering of fountain drinks along with lemonade that while you are dining in are free refills. I ordered The Wayback Classic and Fries. The fries were cooked perfectly and had a side of Wayback sauce which was a tangy yellow sauce similar to carolina gold BBQ sauce. The burger was nice but the bread didn't seem 100% fresh. But still it was good. Overall you can't go wrong with Wayback if you are looking to scratch that burger itch. read more

The burgers are decent, the cheese fries leave a lot to be desired. The cheese is rotted and brown...disgusting. In addition to serving rotted cheese, this store is very skimpy with the cheese as well. read more

I rarely say burger places are bad but this one was definitely one of the worst I've had. I don't know if this is because I visited late at night around 9-10pm ish but anyways. The bun was so dry and unflavorful. The chicken was also so tough and overly crispy and fried, same with the fries. Milkshake was also quite bland and just tasted like a sugary milky solution with no strong good chocolate flavor. The price wasn't exactly cheap either, limited options and quick stop needed is why we tried this and unfortunately didn't make a good impression. Wouldn't try again unless last resort again. Pro is, they have parking lot and bathroom is about it read more

Food: 10/10 The hamburger Meat is nice and thin. Service: 10/10 It was pretty empty when we went but everyone was so nice and polite. The soda machine is also self served. Ambiance: 10/10 The place itself has lots of tables and chairs. Two bathrooms one for Women and another for Men. T.V's so you won't be bored while eating your meal. It was pretty chill. Went here twice and both times it didn't disappoint. read more

Best smash burgers. The flavor of the meat is very good and quality is always consistent. Only feedback I have is the crowd that comes through the door ( teenagers) just come to sit at the restaurant and not to eat at times and they are very disruptive read more

Wayback is 2nd to none, everything is freshly prepared with top-quality ingredients and topping choices! From first bite to last you will know this is no ordinary burger. Ordered a Cheesy Burger with Pepperjack cheese, mustard, lettuce and jalapeno peppers. Delicious and juicy! Flavors burst through with no added salt. Chicken Tenders are surprisingly good, well seasoned and served piping hot. Great with Onion Rings. The staff are so friendly and amazing as well. They are a huge part of the excellent dining experience. So glad to find one nearby, highly recommended return trips warranted!! read more

Order wrong, smells like fabuloso in the restaurant so much it interferes with the taste of the food, not worth the price. Kia another very mid to low burger joint that takes a long time to get. Basic at best. Won't come back. It's a shame because it's very cute and would be a nice asset to the community. read more

Was here when they soft opened and the service was beyond slow. It shouldn't take 10+ minutes to make the food. Wife went back several years later and takeout was still S L O W. Beware the speed at this location. read more

For high end burger places (as opposed to fast food) I am not sure I could say there is something more unique about this place than others, but it delivers a solid burger option. They only have 4 signature burgers but there's the option to customize toppings for other choices. They also have chicken, fish, veggie sandwich options and salads. The milkshake list looked intriguing but kind of expensive so I passed. Classic burger + fries didn't take too long, and they make it fresh. Luckily no one else was waiting so it was pretty quick. Burger was thick and juicy. Fries were good but anything magical. It's definitely a satisfying meal option, but just the basic-est burger and fries was more than $10. Any extra toppings or drinks would be closer to $15 and you're getting quality but at a cost. The employees were nice and helpful, the interior was clean, and the food was good. If you want a good burger, this is a solid option. For a regular lunch, this may be a bit too much. read more

Wayback Burgers - Classic burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Secaucus, New Jersey

I stopped by to grab a burger, fries, and maybe a milkshake but the place was empty except for one family of about five people. However, the entire store was catering to this family and ignoring customers at the counter. The customer service was terrible and there was no respect for potential new customers. While I understand that the family needed attention, the business needs to learn how to balance their service during unexpected and unique situations. I had never been to Wayback Burgers before, and after this visit, I don't think I ever will. read more

Great food, burgers were fresh and Fries were good Friendly service I would absolutely go back again read more

My first observation: A failed attempt at rivaling Shake Shack. The other half and I gave it a shot and, personally, I found it neither good nor bad. It was simply a meal that I felt was unremarkable. The restaurant has around 10 tables and I found myself wondering where the adult was, as the employee demographic was largely teenage. Don't get me wrong, they were polite and courteous. We placed our order, grabbed a table, and waited for our food to be brought to us similar to other casual dining spots as of late. I'll travel far and wide for a good burger, so I had high hopes. I had the rodeo burger and fries. Food took a bit to come out. It was greasy. Very greasy. The bun on the burger was very soft and doughy, similar to what you'd pull out of the bun bag you buy at shop rite before toasting it. It wasn't bad, and tasted "fine," but was just mediocre. Our one side order came out after we finished the burgers, which wasn't convenient. I'm this fast, casual, burger category, BurgerFi in Harmon Meadow gave this spot a run for it's money, as does a simple Five Guys, but Shake Shack far surpasses it. For what we paid here, Cubby's in Hackensack offers a true, massive, delicious Angus burger for the same price. I'd recommend looking there for a burger that will change your life. read more

WOW!!! What can I say about the amazing staff. We walked in a party of 20 for my son's birthday and the staff was amazing at welcoming us and executing our large order. The cashier even put each name matched to the order so there was no confusion of who got what. Needless to say the food was also amazing as were the milkshakes. The kids had a blast and I will definitely be making this my local burger spot. The only downfall would be that they don't have combo meals so you pay for everything separately. Not a huge deal but most fast food places offer this option. read more

I cannot remember why I had this place bookmarked. My husband and I dropped in on a Saturday at around noon and decided to share a double cheeseburger before heading to the movies nearby. I like that you can add whatever toppings you like at no extra cost. We went with cheddar, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, jalapenos, mushrooms, and chipotle mayo. The burger itself was pretty good, along with all the toppings - but I didn't care for the bun. It was a basic floppy supermarket bun. I'm not sure if this was worth $9. But the two stars is really for the cleanliness of how they handle the food. I saw the employee pull down his masked with a gloved hand, and pop a tater tot into his mouth. Then I saw the same gloved hand using his cell phone. Same gloved hand went on to make the burgers and I don't recall seeing any switching of the gloves at any point. Made me not want my burger anymore but yes, I still ate it anyway and am still alive. And yes, I know a lot of this stuff goes on at restaurants but ignorance is bliss. It's one thing to do that if the kitchen is in the back because I'd be none the wiser. But the grill is in front, and everything is pretty much on display for the customer. Won't be coming back because of this, and also there are tons of better burger places for the same price or cheaper. I would definitely choose Shake Shack over this. And possibly even McDonald's/Burger King. read more

Wife and I in search for best burger. Found it! Western bbq. Will travel out of my way to return.

I wanted the Double Bacon Burger, and my girl got the Chicken BLT. We also ordered some smoothie ice cream drinks too which were delicious.

Very delicious burgers. It was savory and they use high quality meat and organic products.

great service !!!! great team!!!! amazing food! Ambiance!!!! Would recommend 10/10 any time!!!!!

Where's the adult responsible for this joint? This place seems to be run by teenagers, no adult over seeing them through out the time we were there. We were craving a burger and some out of town friends had really hyped up the wayback burger from their area. The restaurant is like most casual dining restaurants that are popping up. You order on a counter and they bring it to the table for you. A few options of different burgers and the option to make your own. Some sides, sodas and milkshakes. On the counter there's a sign to let them know of any allergies, which I told them I am allergic to gluten. My husband ordered the rodeo burger and I made my own lettuce "wrapped" burger. I say "wrapped" because it was the burger and toppings with a lettuce leave on the bottom and on the top, not wrapped just laid there. For sides I asked if the fries were fried on different fryers as the breaded chicken, onion rings and such, I was told yes. We then ordered the irish nachos to share. Upon sitting down, one of the teens working there tells me that they are supposed to use separate fryers but they don't always do so and mix ups can happen. Nevermind on the chips, my husband will havd it all, nevermind on any side for that matter since they are all fried. We get our burgers a good 10-15 min before the nachos. We were actually done with the burgers by the time it came to the table. We just wanted to leave so I went to the counter to ask for a box and I see one of the teens dunking a breaded chicken breast into the same fryer that the french fries were in. So you tell me there's a standard probably set by the company but you clearly don't care about following. read more

This is a new place I tried. I asked a few people while walking to the UPS store, which restaurant I should visit, all stated Wayback Burgers. The staff is friendly and you have a choice on how you want your burger made. I tried my burger it was so delicious. Single patty with pepper jack cheese, grilled onions, jalapeños Chipotle mayo, and Cajun remoulade sauce. Try it, I think it's better than McDonald, Burger King and Wendy's. read more

Ordered food via Door Dash more than an hour before closing. Dasher showed up and they cancelled my order. Will never order anything from there again. read more

The burger wasn't anything special. The service is slow and somewhat high school cafeteria fresh The service is not very accommodating and seemed like they were only there because they had to be there. It's located in an area where your car will probably get hit or you will hit something trying to drive the maze of a terrible parking lot. Over priced for what you get, not horrible but nothing worth going back for. read more

The Mango Habanero chicken sandwich is very delicious! The sauce is very sweet from the mango and the heat from the habanero pepper is very spicy. The spiciness lingers in my tongue and mouth even after I finished the sandwich. I wish I order the Key Lime Milkshake to soothe my burning tongue. Or some fries to ameliorate the heat, But I didn't know it was that spicy. lol. The service is very quick. I ordered through the app and it takes less than 10 minutes for the server to hand me the sandwich on a metal plate. Make sure to use a lot of napkins and wet wipes as the unctuous sauce can leave your hands very sticky. read more

Food was uncooked and inedible. One burger had half a patty, the other shredded bun. Fries, onion rings were uncooked and molded together (assuming still frozen). read more

Decent place for quality burgers, not generous in size and didn't come with fries for the price of $8+ of a burger but overall yummy and quality beef. Fries and Mac & cheese bites were ok, fries needed some salt. Ordered UberEats and came pretty fast, would order burgers again and maybe come to eat to try the fries again and maybe the onion rings they offer as delivered food isn't right off the fryer/oven so I'd come in person to try those again. read more

Do I roll my eyes when I read about another burger-n-shake chain opening up in the area? Yup. Do me and the kids then jump in the family wagon to find the place to give it a shot? Yup. The place is a bit small (maybe 10 tables) but clean. There was plenty of staff and they were (kinda) friendly. When the food arrives there was, like, zero presentation. The various sandwiches just looked sad. (Kind of like that yearly BBQ at your one uncle's where he tells you you're lucky to get a bun with that burger so don't even give him any lip.) But I gotta be honest: everything tasted good. We'd ordered their cod sandwich, a burger and a buffalo chicken sandwich and everything was fine. Their french fries were good, and a decent-sized portion. The shake was okay. The pricing was solid. Do I think they'll give BurgerFi a few blocks away a run for their money? Probably not. On the official BURGER-AND-SHAKE SCORECARD we have them nowhere near the almighty Shake Shack but not near the bottom (MooYah Burger). They're hovering somewhere in the middle - above Zinburger but below Red Robin and Smashburger. read more

I don't get the middling reviews. This place is great. Service runs better on weekdays than weekends. Just an FYI. Food is always prepared from scratch after you order. For those complaining about having to wait ten minutes, duh. This is called fresh cooking to order. In terms of pricing, is very fair. To those saying 8 bucks for a burger, 8 bucks mean you ordered a double. A regular single patty burger is 5 dollars. Their meat, both burgers and grilled chicken, are high quality and very fresh and tasty. They let you season and top however you want, with a large variety of choices. Their shakes are what they are most known for, and this does not disappoint. Over ten flavors and again each one made from scratch to order the old fashioned way with real ice cream. The owner/manager is the nicest gentleman. If you are a regular, they remember you each time. Highly recommend for a fast food type burger place. read more

I've been to a few Wayback Burgers before, but I have to say I really enjoyed my experience at this location. More than anything else, this was the cleanest Wayback Burgers I have ever been to before. The entire restaurant was spotless. During the entire duration of time we dined in, the workers were constantly cleaning tables as customers left. I've been to some significantly less clean locations, so this was a real highlight for me. In terms of food, the burgers were excellent. They were filling, but not heavy or super greasy which was nice. All the flavors tasted fresh. The food was prepared very quickly. I don't think 10 minutes had passed before we had our full orders served to us. The burgers, hotdogs, and french fries were all tasty and delicious. I definitely plan on returning! They also have a full parking lot, so parking isn't an issue. read more

I ate crispy chicken burger and brownie shake and the staff is very chill and they listen to you closely.overall it was great!

New to the area... Craft your own burgers, chicken and veggie burgers. So glad this place opened up, giving other options in Plaza Center. Pretty easy to find in a strip mall in Secaucus on the far left end. You can smell those burgers 3 stores away. Came in earlier this afternoon for a bite with the better half. She had a single with a side of fries and soda. I chose a classic, 2 burgers with the fixings ( chipotle mayo ) accompanied with very good onion rings & a strawberry/ banana shake. My shake was on the smaller size. Everything was very good on both sides of the table. Seems like there are a awful lot of folks working behind the counter. To be expected since it's a new place. Friendly and quick service. We received our food in about 5 minutes. Taking off one star as it is a little pricey. For the two of us bill came to $27.00. Every side is extra. Gotta mention their drink selections are pretty extensive. With flavored waters and different iced teas both sweetened/ unsweetened varieties. read more

Ordered from Uber eats and arrived warm which is a surprise. I ordered a kids cheeseburger that comes plain with cheese and a side of fries. The fries were still crispy which I loved the burger was also yummy and better than other fast food joints. They included a straw for my kid size milk shake and also read the note I left them stating the flavor of the shake I wanted,usually other joint skip all the extra detail. I will definitely order again. read more

I'm puzzled by the negative reviews because today was my first time here and I loved it! They don't have this chain where I livev(NY) but I can definitely say it's much better than Shake Shack or even 5 Guys, in my opinion. The burger was juicy and flavorful, same with the Buffalo chicken tenders which tasted like and resembled real chicken. The fries were really good and fresh too. All three of those items set me back about $15 which I think is fair considering just a burger at 5 Guys is $10. read more

I'm not sure why this place got such bad reviews. I honestly have been meaning to try it but the reviews turned me away but I finally gave it a shot. Me and my wife got exemplary customer service. Place is clean and has a nice vibe to it. Food was ready in less than 5 mins after ordering and placed at my table. Although, I've definitely had better burgers in Michigan, it's a good start for the halal burger scene to the NY/NJ area. Highly recommend the double bacon burger (ask for no mustard sauce on it) and the rodeo burger. The cafe mocha milkshake was excellent too. Will definitely be back again. read more
