The classic double with extra cheese.
Inspector P.

The food and the kiosk need work. One the food, the classic burger had little to no seasoning on it and I needed salt to make it taste like anything. They will gladly give you an extra piece of Swiss cheese on your burger for another dollar 99. The kiosk it tells you there are 25 toppings to choose one and you must choose at least one. So for example, I chose mustard... as soon as I did a big red 'no' sign appeared over it (like no ghosts in Ghostbusters). So I decided that meant I should choose what I don't want , but I can only choose three that I didn't want. So after three tries I was about to walk out of there, but I was pretty hungry so I finally asked for a person to help me. usually when trying a place for the first time, I also got the fries, but they didn't look like anything special and I'm sure they weren't if they were anything like the Burger. A recommendation, if you choose to go there anyway, is that there is ketchup and mustard on the table in dispensers, so don't rely on them to not slather too much on....because they did and the bun was falling apart. So much potential --the pictures look good but the place disappoints. I had been to a way back burger on route 46 and it was good so I expected something good here too

SWEET BOURBON BACON BURGER
Jon H.

This was my first time at Wayback Burgers in years. I was prompted to stop as I was in the area running errands and got hungry. It was a spontaneous stop (I had no plans on stopping until I was pulling out of the parking lot). From what I remembered, the burger I had prior was big, loaded with toppings, and superior to a typical fast food burger. While the burger tasted somewhere between decent and good (definitely better than McDonalds, BK, Wendy's, etc.) I was a little underwhelmed. The onion ring on my Bourbon Bacon burger was soggy and the bacon wasn't crispy. The medium order of fries came with more than expected and I am a big advocate of malt vinegar on my fries as they have available here. The fries were crispy but also underwhelming flavor wise. It came to right under $15 after tax between the burger and fries which I couldn't really justify for what I was served. Overall, my meal was ok but I think I got my desire to stop at Wayback out of my system for a good while.

I threw this burger in the trash.

Filthy store. Every table had giant nasty bottles of ORANGE ketchup with weird air bubbles in it. It absolutely looked like it had gone bad. The caps were all ripped off seemingly by a feral animal, so they were all sitting open exposed to air in old plastic bottles all covered in dried ketchup and greasy fingerprints. SKETCHUP! Random other condiments were in mismatched store-brand bottles with half ripped labels. The tables and floors were somehow both simultaneously sticky and greasy and just generally gross. The women's bathroom had no toilet paper. Maybe the food was good?...oh friend, no. The food was emphatically not good. The cherry coke was not cherry coke. I have no idea what it was, but I couldn't drink it. My impossible burger melt took almost 30 minutes (even though there were no other customers ahead of me) and my partner's food came out 20 mins after mine (and we needed to ask about it twice and got some mumbles in response). Once it came, he reported that his food was also not very good. My veggie burger was covered in flecks of grill meat and I'm vegetarian so I didn't even try to eat it. My mistake for ordering at all when I saw the state of their cleanliness. I ordered "O-fries" but just got onion rings. When I asked about it the guy who took my order said "you can't get o-fries as a combo" okay....that's fine, but why did you ask me if I wanted to make it a combo when I ordered them then?! Lol. a manager did overhear this and came over to throw some fries on my tray. When I left I saw a line of several delivery drivers milling around wondering why none of their pickup orders were ready. In all I spent $15 on this and threw my food and drink in the trash. I bought a bagel on my way home. I will never, ever go back here.

wow - REALLY good burgers, and this was just take out, with the "fixings" on the side to do yourself! I can only imagine if I had it in the restaurant, cooked rare how I like, with some mayo. Yes, a bit unhealthy, but that's how I fancy mine! Good side Caesar too. Chips aren't my thing (I don't like potatoes; well, just sweet potatoes). I'd definitely make a special trip here in the future - yum!!!

I'm sorry but I used to love this place but this was a huge disappointment dryed out burgers under cooked chicken sandwich.and you couldn't get more fake flavors then the bacon cheese fries.and lastly clean the place

I was driving by this place and thought to myself "Hey, I fucking love burgers so let me try this place!" Boy was I wrong about this place. The place is like a Five Guys but with a little more variety. The employee behind the counter was maybe in high school and was oblivious to anything I said to her. It was like talking to a wall. My favorite part of the exchange between us was this... I asked her if all they had was the bottled drinks behind the counter. She said "yes." I asked if there was any fountain drinks and she blankly stared into my eyes and said "No, I'm sorry." So I took a glance around the place and what do you know... There was one all the way in the back along with iced tea. What?! My cheeseburger was nothing but plain and boring. There was no flavor and the bun to patty ratio was laughable. I tasted more bread than hamburger so I took off the top bun and folded the burger just so I could taste the meat. Don't go here.

Veggie Burger
Angela R.

Husband said 4 stars, I said 4.5. This was my first time at Wayback and I had the veggie burger. It was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of toppings. We had the tater tots and they were excellent. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They remained hot until we ate them which was about 15 minutes from restaurant to home. My husband had the double bacon burger, his way. It was cooked perfect and had great flavours. The staff was polite and our order did not take long at all! Can't wait to try the chicken tenders and cod sandwich next time!

I just wish there was something fresh or crunchy to balance out all the soft textures from the bread, beef patty, and cheese. I also added beef bacon to my burger, even though it's not listed as an add on the menu. I really wish more of these newer smashburger restaurants had lettuce and/or tomatoes as an add on topping.

Quick and easy ordering process, staff don't waste any time getting your order & getting to work on it. Oddly enough there is an ordering kiosk at the counter right next to where you would order with staff. I guess that is for if you're feeling anti-social. Sitting area upstairs, so it is not wheelchair or elderly friendly for the sitting area. No outdoor seating. A very hustle & bustle kinda deal. We had the double patty smash. Overall was it "WTT?" Worth The Trip....YES! Absolutely!! The burger was amazing. It tasted like the smashburger in my mind. Perfection!

Stage House Tavern 1719 Amwell Rd…read more Somerset, NJ 08873 Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast The restaurant entrance looks like the front of a house surrounded by grassland. Not actually has a full size bar, indoor dining area, and an outdoor patio. This is a slight variation from a traditional chicken Parmesan entrée. The cutlet was prepared differently. The edges were pounded thin and had a crispy texture. The center of the cutlet was thick and chewier. Hidden beneath the cutlet was house made spinach linguine. It's different from typical pasta, but it has an acquired earthy taste. The appearance of the vodka sauce isn't the most appealing, but it tastes a lot better than it looks. The sauce was thick and creamy and had chunks of tomato. I highly recommend requesting an additional cup of sauce for full flavor. Overall, I enjoyed this plate. The minor drawback was we arrived while our server was ending his shift during our meal. We were assigned another server and it lead to miscommunication. #stagehousetavern #chickenparmreview #parmesancrustedchickenbreast

The restaurant was not yet crowded, yet my husband and I were put essentially in an "alcove" seating area away from the main dining room. Absolutely no ambiance, right next to the beverage area where the servers gather and also where the high chairs and booster seats were stored. When I noted my displeasure, I was met with, "Sorry, we're really busy today and we can't seat you elsewhere." There were many other empty tables in the main dining room and also empty hightop tables in the bar area. The buffet food was overcooked and cold. The coffee tasted like it was made last night. Total of our bill was $157.00 (and we paid an additional 3% on top of this for credit card). Yes, we knew what it was a head, but they also added an automatic 20% tip and the bill still suggested that we give our server a tip, who we had to follow up with for another cup of coffee, milk and water. Extremely disappointed. We won't be coming back here for a holiday meal.

The don't accept reservations, but you can put your name on the waitlist queue and they will text you a few minutes before to let you know that their table is available. I'd avoid going here on Valentine's Day as it was impossible to get off that waitlist! I've gone in the evening but their brunch menu is definitely better. Service is great and you can scan the QR code for their menu. For brunch, they have a lot of options from crêpes to omelettes. This place is not a BYOB but they have plenty of non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails on the menu. Decor is modern, airy, and of course - pink! They also have a separate café and pastry counter if you're just stopping in and want something quicker instead of sitting down. On our most recent visit, I had the Dubai chocolate pistachio crêpe, and it was really delicious, not too sweet or too rich. And I also had the strawberry Matcha, which I enjoyed. I think this is a great spot for a weekend date, girls brunch, or just an every day indulgence. Looking forward to my next visit.

I opted for the pink pistachio chai, which despite its visual appearance it was sort of mild in flavor. I didn't taste the chai spices that I love.

The beef bacon was good. I loved the presentations of the food, it just didn't quite deliver on execution.
