We went in on Sunday afternoon. The place was clean and inviting. My boyfriend ordered the cheesy double and I ordered a double cheeseburger. The burgers were delicious, the bread was soft and the cheese was flavorful as well. I would definitely go there again, it's our new favorite burger joint.

Greasy! Was better when it first opened. Food quality isn't great and I won't be returning. My daughters bun was wet with grease.

Similar to "five guys" except way less greasy! Place is clean and workers here seem to be more pleasant! As I said we both ordered the southwestern burger it had pepper jack cheese and Jalepenos & chipotle dressing nothing was skimped. Onion rigs also were crispy and tasty! Great First impression! Recommend over Five Guys!

It's probably the second-best burger in greater Harrisburg behind Jackson House, so yes, it's quite good. Juicy, tasteful. And the shakes take you back 20-30 years. Good old-time shakes. Now, here's the thing. If you go, don't expect anything approaching fast food. You'll spend as much time there as if you went to a sit-down restaurant. They are that pain-stakingly slow. The result is an atmosphere of a lot of pissed-off people who expected fast service.

Wholly uninspired. Jake's Wayback Burger is everything wrong about $6 burger joints. I had a Southwest Chipotle Burger and a side of fries. The fries were frozen and tasted bland. They were served nearly saltless and equally flavorless. That chipotle burger tasted nothing of chipotle. The bottom bun had a whole layer of jalapenos on it, and even these were almost flavorless. Even with all those jalapenos, all I really tasted was the vinegar they were pickled in. The meat was actually pretty good, it was rather flavorful but chewy and only served well done. The atmosphere was as drab as the food. The place was clean and well-kept, but nothing really made sense. The tables were modern and didn't match the rest of the restaurant. The walls were blank and painted a dark, dull color. They were piping their own private '50s radio station over the loudspeaker and they call themselves "wayback," but there was nothing else that made you think of the '50s. And then there was the over-eager, type-A personality, twenty-something manager running the place, spouting all the same rehearsed corporate spiel that you expect from a chain restaurant. I think, perhaps, that this chain may appeal to a different demographic. The light crowd this evening was overwhelmingly of the over-60 crowd. In my experience, places that attract an older crowd often serve food that tastes underseasoned. The place is not horrible, but it is in no way good. I would not take a date or anybody I was trying to impress there and, quite frankly, there are tastier, better-value choices for an everyday meal.

Visited Wayback recently during the week for lunch. It was not busy at all. There were a few people eating in the restaurant and a couple of people ordering take out. The burger was not bad, but it was not great. Cheese was just slapped on the burger and not melted. Fries were good. I could tell the employees were bored because it was slow. While I appreciate a clean restaurant, one employee kept sweeping the floor where the food was being prepared. What if dust and dirt kicks up? Not very appetizing! Also he kept sweeping the dining area that was not even dirty. Once he was done with that, he decided to squeegee the windows in the dining room where we were eating. Keep in mind, this is around 1 pm during the week. It was an annoying experience. I might try a Wayback again, but another location. This one doesn't seem to be managed well.

In a word: Meh. Nothing stands out about the entire place. Save maybe the inflated prices. The 50s theme extended only as far as the music playing on loop in the background. Very average burger. Decent fries. Shakes were pretty good. The bill for my wife and I was over $25. We did not feel we got anywhere near our money's worth. The entire business model is questionable at best. Five Guys does it better and cheaper without the silly faux 50s facade. Definitely our first and last Wayback Burger experience.

I saw someone write 'uninspired' and I think that's pretty accurate. What's the draw? Mediocre burger on a Sysco bun with generic Sysco fries.... Meh. If you want a great burger 5 Guys is the place IMO.....

Some of these reviews were written by bloggers that think they are food experts. THEY ARE HAMBURGERS! Don't expect duck a l'orange because you aren't getting that. The brisket burger was outstanding and of a normal temperature and the onion rings tasted like, wait for it.......onion rings. There weren't scores of people sitting around waiting for food and it took no longer than 5 Guys and the food wasn't dripping with grease. Take your skinny jeans and waxed mustaches and go eat somewhere else. The people I ate with had a great time and enjoyed their food.

The burger here is great. My wife and I both got burgers and split some fries. We wanted to try the shakes which were pretty tasty. They definitely have some improving to do on the ticket times but I feel that will come with time. The thing that sets them apart from 5 guys is they give you options on cheese and other toppings.

Should have know better when we walked in, ordered right away, then turned around to see 12+ tables of people all looking annoyed without any food on them. In all it took 25 minutes before food arrived. My burger was odd. Patty and cheese were burn your mouth hot, and all the condiments were on the verge of being frozen. If I need a burger fix i'll stick to Jackson house or 5 guys.

i love the great tasting cheeseburgers. The fries taste good. The food will take longer to make then a fast food chain, but at least you know that it was made hot enough and not undercooked. . I hate getting a big burger at Mcdonalds and it doesn't seem cooked enough. it seems lukewarm. I love the 50s music playing in the place. It is pretty cool. The manager and workers always do a great job, are always polite, and it is a nice atmosphere. The black and white milkshake is amazing!!.
