Takes forever and easy to forget. Burgers are thin tasteless and overcooked. Fries might as well be orite store bought. You can literally get a better deal and meal at Wendys.. But hey fortunately the guy with the cleaning spray bottle will squirt down your food while he cleaning the tables next to you lol read more

The only reason they're getting two stars is due to the burger. Other than that, it would be one.I had a cheesy with onions and jalapeños. It was amazing. But this place is nasty. The cashier also helps cook the food; however he wasn't wearing any gloves the whole time. I watched him pick up onion rings with his bare hands and throw them in the fryer after handling a transaction. It was disgusting and I definitely didn't order anything I knew he would touch. Honestly, I only ordered a burger because my boss was paying. I'm never going back. Y'all watch out for the guy with the glasses and dirty ass hands. read more

Double pattie bacon cheese burger was good and moist but lacked a bit in flavor. everything was fresh but when you have to flavor the burger with ketchup and mayo to get some flavor its just not a quality burger. The fries were the frozen type too. The shake was very good tho. For the money Jakes Wayback is way over priced. You can sit in just about any restaurant and get a topshelf handmade burger for about the same money. They are ok for a quick bite aka fast food style but not worth the money otherwise. read more

Love their milkshakes! Have not tried their burger yet. But its smells good from you walk into the building

Absolutely love this place! These burgers rival those of Fatburger, Five Guys, In-and-out and so forth. The fries were perfectly salted and you could munch on them all day. The only issue I had was the wait time. To be fair, I came during lunch but it was definitely worth the wait and value. read more

Amazing burgers, fries are very good with chili. Enjoy how they bring the food out for you read more

Wayback Burgers - Lunch time rush. - Burgers Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Always great presentation, correct orders, and great food. Really....they always make sure the food is beautiful, presented as neat as the pictures, and never sloppy. I haven't had them make any mistakes with my intricate orders. Also, I haven't encountered any bad attitudes. Someone has done a good job selecting the staff and ensuring that all are on the same page with food presentation, accuracy, and overall care. Prices are decent/good, definitely in comparison to other places they are actually fairly priced and affordable, especially for quality and service. They make you want to eat burgers. read more

My husband and I decided to give this place a go, wow what a great experience! Burgers were so tasty and delicious, the fries were not over salted and very crispy (which I think is how a fry should be), I got the BBQ CRUNCH BURGER BBQ HOUSE-MADE CHIPS, AMERICAN CHEESE, TANGY BBQ SAUCE, my husband got the PHILLY BURGER WHITE AMERICAN CHEESE, GRILLED ONIONS, MUSHROOMS. Burgers showed up hot and juicy, the cheesy fries were really good too. I think this place is going to be a HUGE HIT!!! And all you people that keep saying it's a little pricy, here's an idea - go to McDonalds or Burger King or Wendys, you know for the .99 deals. It's not pricy at all, if you want good food, you gotta pay a little more. But, they have the same prices as Five Guys, so if you all are gonna bitch because you expect this place to have .99 burgers, than maybe you should take your business elsewhere! Jakes has great food at great prices! I'd rather go here than Red Robin which is more expensive than this place!!! read more

Woke up this morning craving a burger, so I decided to finally try Wayback. I arrived at around 11:30 to a mostly empty restaurant. Besides me, there was only one family there. The menu is interesting. There's a great variety of toppings, similar to Five Guys. But they also have shakes, onion rings, salads, etc. I opted for a build your own burger with double patties, bacon, jalapeños, and Chipotle mayo. I also ordered a side of fries and a strawberry shake. It took about ten minutes to cook and be delivered to the table. I was immediately dissapointed when I noticed that they out cheese on the burger. Seriously? I just ordered a build your own burger. In doing so I told them specifically what I want on a burger. How do they mess that up? After peeling the cheese off of the burger I took a bite and was again dissapointed. The meet had absolutely not flavor. And there was barely any bacon. The fries were okay, but you don't get many of them. Pros: Shakes. The restaurant is quiet, but that's solely because there aren't any customers. Cons: the food. The price. Portions. If you're considering stopping in for a quick burger, just drive the ten minutes to Lincoln St and grab some Five Guys. read more

great burgers homemade chips and onion rings shakes too. my wife loved it too and she is not a big burger lover. read more

One of the best burgers I've ever had and the beer battered onion rings are awesome! This place absolutely rules the burger world and you are failing as a human if you don't eat here! Cheap and great food. Only thing that would improve it is a beer list! read more

Ok so I should have listened to the reviews but I didn't and that was a mistake. We got here at 6:30 am to pave the bike path behind jakes so all day the guys were talking it up. We're not from the area so we've never heard about it till now. To the point...... The meat on the burgers is pretty tasteless frozen onion rings and over priced. In comparison to 5 guys this is about as good as McDonald's. I will not give this another shot sorry. Don't waste your money go to 5 guys trust me. read more

It's a good place to hang out and eat a burger I like it but not the best burger I have had the prices r the same as McDonald's so u might as well come here for real meat read more

Everything was fresh. Ordered the Rodeo burger and a side of chili cheese fries. Only thing I can complain about is that the onion rings in the burger were not crispy. Good juicy burger though. read more

A decent stop for road trip food but otherwise it was just an OK place to eat. I got the grilled chicken and fries. Probably should've gotten a burger instead! read more

Good food, pricey. You will notice the food resembles a certain fast food restaurant.

The burgers were good. I had one with BBQ sauce and chips inside-I think called the crunchy burger. Ordered onion rings. Very disappointed on the amount. They should really serve on a smaller plate, cuz it really looks sparse when the order comes. I felt it was pricy. $18 for 2 burgers. I'm thinking same quality for Wendy's which is a little less expensive. read more

What can I say, I love these burgers. If you're getting this suggestion on Yelp and you're up for an AWESOME TASTING BURGER, you won't be disappointed. #killerburgers read more

Great burgers, onion rings and milk shakes.... My kids are free on Wednesdays.... Love this new place...definitely be back.

Food takes too long. Rude employees. Order was wrong. More bread than burger. Over priced. Cheap quality ingredients. Bacon isn't bacon. Don't spend 10 dollars for a cheap cafeteria burger. McDonalds is better. read more

This place in a whole is mediocre. The staff were a bit rushed, however I do understand because someone had called in with a 20 burger order. The chicken tenders were OK, BUT there was only 4 and they were on the small side. The shakes are decent and the bacon fries' cheese is a bit artificial. Burgers were decent. All in all, if you are looking for a place to go with one other person for a quick bite this is a great choice. Biggest concern is amount of staff, although it is a bit of a small joint. read more

Expensive &Tasteless , burgers are very thin , careless &rude workers, dirt all over the place ,not recommended. Fiveguys much better .

Wish I could say we enjoyed this place, but it was just a step above McDonalds. The burger was very greasy and mushy. The onion rings were obviously the previously frozen kind and had no taste. Prices were sky high. $22.37 for 2 cheeseburgers a small fry and a small onion ring. We won't be back! read more

Love this place! I always eat here when I'm in Worcester. Hope they open one up in San Diego soon!

Gross! The food was no better than Burger King or McDonald's .. I ordered onion rings and it was suppose to come with the sauce and when It arrived at home with my order there was no sauce to be found ! If u want a burger just go to mcdees or bk cause that's what there burgers taste like read more

The rodeo burger for a double stack was very small and very greasy. The Chilli Cheese Fries was very small and very greasy on the cheese with very little chilli to speak of. I was not impressed. But the crew was friendly and served me at the table. read more

Went here last fall. The burger was good. It was a solid burger and it filled me up after a long work day while I waited for my bf to get out of work. Honestly I think 5 Guys burgers taste better if we're talking fast food. Not at all bad, just not impressive for the price. What DID impress me was the Pumpkin Pie shake they were offering at the time. Huge and absolutely delicious. So delicious that I'll be randomly sitting around minding my own business and think "wow, I really want one of those shakes!" You have better options for burgers, but I heartily recommend the shakes. read more

I have gone to this location around 10 times and their food is very tasty. I have tried their "Burger of the Month" many times, always good as well. Some of the food is pretty greasy, but I don't go here looking for anything other than that. read more

I ordered the first burger on the menu because I was hungry and the pic looked like a grilled cheese burger. The place had a funny smell, like either cheap meat or spoiled meat was cooking. That was what we noticed when we were waiting for our food. Our burgers did not taste good. My grilled cheese burger had tasty buttery bread and plenty of cheese, so I was able to eat all around the edges of it. But between the bad smell of it and the lack of flavor and kind of bad taste, neither of us were able to finish our burgers. We were grossed out. The fries were edible, so we ate those and left. I did not try a shake, but I heard other customers saying those were good. read more

Three words...save your money. Went there tonight for the first time and never going back. Everything is pretty much over priced for the amount you get. Food was bland, service ok, but wished I saved my money. read more

There are plenty of specialty burger places out there now - so stacking up to other concepts, this place was good, but underwhelming. I liked that they stuck to the 'wayback' vibe with a their decor and music. Service was quick, and friendly. But overall the value seemed off. Portions were small, flavors basic, and prices a little high. read more

It is small business Saturday so I stopped in for lunch. Just a burger and a root beer. Great burger!! Soft roll, juicy burger but not overly greasy. And they brought the food to my table. Stop in and check this place out. I'll be back!! read more

If you'd like to try them they are located in the shopping plaza between SAMS and Walmart..ENJOY!! read more

We went to Jake's Wayback Burgers for the first time. We thought it was very good. To me, it's between a fast food and a gourmet burger restaurant. I had the Double Bacon Jake ($6.99) and my wife had the WB Cod Sandwich ($5.89). They were both very good and the cod was a REAL piece of cod, not a frozen square patty. We also tried the house made (potato) chips ($1.99) and the onion rings (thick) ($3.29). They were both very good. A few reviews said this place was expensive. The burgers were much bigger and tastier than the fast food places. I think you get excellent value at Jake's. read more

This place is amazing. I used to live out west and I miss good burger places - In n Out was my fave. Well Jake's is as good as In n Out except their fries are waaaay better. And their shakes are awesome, don't listen to the idiot that wrote that you can't take shakes to go - what? Of course you can. Everything is to go or you can eat there. It's very clean and lots of variety on the menu. They also serve sweet tea. And there is a veggie burger too. This is not McD's or Wendy's, it is 4 stars above that. Fresh, really good food. This is the ONLY place I go when I want a burger and fries. read more

I live in the neighborhood and was exited to see a burger place going into the location. I couldn't wait for it to open. I have been there three times to checkout different items. The burgers are just ok, the fries are nothing special ( I love fries) the shakes are really good, but I actually don't like the metal cups because if you want to take what you don't finish to go it is a hassle. The prices are high for what you get. My wife says she won't go back. Put a Five Guys next door and they would be out of business in six months. read more
