Made-to-order burgers & milkshakes fill out the menu at this quick-serve chain with retro decor.

The quality of food is okay, but their portions leave something to be desired.
If I’m going to pay this much for chicken strips, I expect full sized chicken strips. These look like they came off of a pigeon.
**Edit: 1 Star. Just got to the tots. Totally unseasoned (no salt?!), stale and undercooked.
Do not recommend.

This was our first time trying this place and we’ll definitely be back! There were four of us and we ordered a kid’s cheeseburger, 2 sweet & spicy burgers, and a classic cheeseburger, 2 orders of fries and one order of onion rings.
The service was very friendly, and everything was made to order. Everyone thought their burgers were really fantastic. In all honesty, the fries and onion rings were nothing special, but they were fine. The restaurant was very clean and service was quick.
I’ve always been pretty partial to Five Guys, but in my opinion, The WayBack was WayBetter 🙂

We had dinner here for the first time last week and was so impressed. The service was outstanding, so helpful and kind, and the restaurant was very clean with plenty of seating. The burger was one of the best I’ve ever had – I had a plain So Cheesy (just cheese and meat) and it was super flavorful, perfectly melty, and I loved the inside out bun for extra crispiness. Fries were light and crispy and the milkshake was absolutely delicious. Price was surprisingly reasonable – I felt like it was a deal for the quality and experience. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Great new burger place. In the same style as Nancy’s or 5 guys but better food.
Burger was one of the best I had, onion rings were pretty good too. Chocolate shake was good but nothing to write home about but good none the less.
Location is it’s only real downside a little difficult to find and get to with limited parking due to the other business in the strip mall where it is located.

Very clean. Hot food. Friendly workers. Great flavor. Burgers are amazing My husband and I will be back. Wayback sauce is good too. Kinda scarfed my food down and didn’t get a picture of it. This was all I had left to review.

This place is the best Berger joint I have been too in a long time. The whole time we were eating my son kept saying this is the best burger he had ever had on planet earth.
That’s the aftermath lol

The old Cherry City Chiropractic is now home to Wayback Burgers! They have a fairly simple menu selection which is actually fairly nice as it speeds the process along and doesn’t leave you deciding for a long while. All of customization options are listed clearly for you to choose. There is both a vegetarian and vegan burger patty option. The people are incredibly kind and the atmosphere is clean, spacious, quiet, and comfortable. There are two menu areas that I think could use a huge improvement and fortunately one of them is incredibly simple. Since a vegan burger patty is an option, add a vegan cheese to go with it. Second, add a vegan shake option since shakes are on the menu. The strawberry lemonade is very delicious so definitely load and reload on that on your visits. I do feel like an order of tater tots could definitely also have a lot more tater tots or have an option for some seconds for folks that want more as the quantity is quite light for the price. The wayback good is a simple barbecue and mustard mix that makes for an extra somewhat unique sauce option and is vegan as well. Perhaps a vegan ranch and mayo could also be some good additions.

the man at the front of house is awesome and really nice and obviously a really hard worker. however, this place is lowkey lame. it’s not that yummy and rather greasy to the touch. they do have gluttonous milkshake options though, so that’s redeemable. the atmosphere is really industrial gray and loud and—to be frank—ugly (photo attached). but that man at the front was lovely!

I had a great experience at Wayback Burgers in Salem, Oregon. The food was fresh, flavorful, and made exactly to order. The burgers were cooked perfectly and the toppings were high quality and well balanced. The fries were hot and crispy, and everything came out quickly.
The staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional. The restaurant was clean and well maintained, which made the overall experience even better. It is clear they take pride in both their food and their customer service.
I would definitely recommend Wayback Burgers to anyone in the Salem area looking for a quality burger and a great dining experience. I will be returning again soon.

Such a cozy atmosphere! Awesome service, attentive staff, just the right amount of interactions, and oh my god, the burgers? We had a classic and the cheesy, a chocolate shake and the chocolate brownie shake, and a large serving of Chili Cheese Fries, and it was a perfect way to refill for the afternoon. The food was great, the shakes were delicious! If you’re able to, I recommend giving the place a try!
