As we’re heading to the hotel we noticed this place off the main road and immediately decided that’s where we’re going for dinner. The look and atmosphere drew us in and the old fashion feeling didn’t disappoint. The service was good and we enjoyed our burgers. This beets going to McDonald’s a thousand times over.

Looking at this place online, I had high hopes for it only to be disappointed. The 50's vibe is really cool. Our server was really great and friendly, but I think he was the only one working the dining room. The nachos were meh. The milkshake was supposed to be peanutbutter and tasted like chocolate malt. My burger was over cooked, it was like a frozen patty from Walmart that was left on the grill for 30 minutes. The egg was supposed to be over easy and was completely cooked. If I lived closer, I would give this place another shot. It would be a great place for a carmeet. Just wish the food was better. They also have WAY too much on the menu. I feel like if they shortened the list on the menu, they could focus on quality over quantity. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
I would love to give a 5 star review because this place has SO MUCH potential, but I have some mixed feelings. I love the concept, the style/decor/uniforms, the menu is fun everything is authentic feeling and the food is great! HOWEVER, the place is very run down and needs repairs, service was not prompt nor was it good, one worker seemed to be on the nod while working. While we were there we actually watched 2 separate families get up and walk away because of poor service, it was NOT busy we were 1 of 2 tables there and there were 2 servers. We did not get prompt service and the 2nd table to leave before ordering was sitting there for 24 minutes before even getting menus or waters, another 25 minutes went by without service which prompted them to leave. I really hope the owner decides to screen employees and hold them accountable for Service because the food was excellent and the establishment has the potential to be so much more!

Odd as this will read, we initially arrived because of geocache hidden but stayed because it was amazing! The hostess greeted us immediately. She gave us a dining options: we chose outside. We were hangry so we skipped apps to entrees. I landed on the 50/50 bacon burger ... it’s 50% ground beef, 50% ground bacon. Heaven on Earth. The strawberry ice cream soda was refreshing in the Idahoan sunshine. Felt like a celebrity from the attentive service by our server - highly recommend! 50/50 Bacon Burger California BLT
The place was rundown. The tots tasted like whatever was fried in the oil time after time. The waitress was helpful and friendly. The burger lacked flavor and seamed like a frozen school lunch burger. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Food was good but service very very poor. Waitresses acted like they could care less about us. Only one other customer and I have never seen it so empty. Going downhill fast! Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

I love Wayback and usually love their food but it was gross yesterday. The eggs looked spoiled, the sausage was too salty n garlicky. I typically don't complain but service was mid and food was not good. Meal type Breakfast Price per person $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

My family used to really enjoy this place. When we recently ate there, the waitress may have been the worst I've ever encountered. I'm sure she isn't getting paid well and probably overworked at times, but she was just rude. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4
