The staff are very nice and the onion rings and cheese curd 10/10 but my bourbon
burger was underwhelming and topping tasted weird and it was also mushy, the bread also had that some to go bad smell 😅 but my husband enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich if I ever return maybe I'll try that..

Wayback Burgers is very high quality, and I felt it was a little better than Shake Shack because of a better tasting bun.
They had a 2 for 1 Weds ad coupon to build business, so I finally tried them with a friend. The traditional 2 patty double cheese burger is basically a smash burger served on a very tasty soft bun, which tasted like a cross between a brioche bun & a potato bun.
The chocolate & strawberry shakes we ordered were very, very good! Perfect with the burger. We did not order french fries. I definately reccommend trying Wayback Burgers..!!
To be very honest all 3 chains are "copying eachother." Wayback, Shake Shack, 5 Guys Burgers and the Chili Cheese fries are right off the "Original" gourmet burgers "Johnny Rockets -Burgers, Shakes & Fries" that started it all in Los Angeles in the 1980s when I went to the original 1st restaurant.
So.."Yes." Give Wayback a try and if the "Chili Cheese Fries" on my next visit are really good..? And the next burger is consistent and really good...then, I would really think it would be hard to choose "the best" but, the "bun" at Wayback is a touch better than the others.
I went to the West Hartford, CT location just off I-84 freeway.
