The owner is the best! I love the welcome to wayback and see you on the way back. Which is sometimes missed by other staff. Consistently good fast food, my kids love it there

We ate here when it first opened, and it was really good. It reminded me of an old school burger joint back in the fifties. We just went again while passing through Cochrane, and I was not impressed! It took a long time to get our food, even though there was only one other table of people. When it finally came, the food was barely warm. The fries were cold and stale, and the burgers had zero taste. There was barely any sauce on the burgers and they were very dry. This seems to be typical of a new business... great when they open and then it goes down hill. It's really too bad, because Cochrane needs a good burger joint, Too bad, but this won't be it.

We tried vegetarian burger. It was quick and great service. Nice and clean restaurant. Staff was very friendly. It was very busy when we were there. My wife was so impressed with milk shake. We will recommend this place.

This is a very friendly shop. Even though I was not served quickly, they waited patiently and gave me a friendly explanation. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The chicken wings were overcooked and hard, but the inside was soft. The sauce was also delicious. I recommend it.

This place makes me so happy! All the patties are gluten free, the GF bun is so delicious (I always check if it's GF because it tastes too good), and they have a dedicated fryer. Today I'm having the tater tots! Once you tell them that you are a celiac they take it all seriously. The chef at the back prepares your food in a separate area - but, make sure that you advocate! Anyway...back to eating my delicious burger.

I asked for the lettuce wrap and their idea of a lettuce wrap is one tiny piece of green leaf lettuce on each side. Doesn’t hold up at all, and the toppings become too much to hold. I don’t mind a messy burger but this was just terrible. Off to A&W next to get a lettuce wrap burger that actually holds up and doesn’t wilt after two minutes in the takeaway bag. Also, patties were very very dry.

One of my favourite places to go. The milkshakes are the best in town, and the food is always great (especially the chicken tenders). The staff are kind and welcoming, especially the owner.

Double bacon burger. Bacon worked very well on this burger. Cheese, not so much. Too thin. I like the patty style - hybrid between a smash burger and flame grilled patty. They were slightly over cooked for my liking though. Pickles are a great touch and the lettuce is a good fit for the burger. It was constructed perfectly - very tidy and compact. Overall I will return because the prices are comparatively competitive and the menu is diverse. I wish the patty’s were cooked a little less and had a bit more flavour. Staff were outstanding. Amazing group of employees who deserve a lot of praise.

Made a diversion here after initially going to BarBuritto next door after seeing them on FMGF. The front counter staff was extremely knowledgeable about GF items and was proud to offer GF items. He had a super awesome personality! They have GF buns and dedicated fryer for fries and tots. Milkshakes can be made GF (depending on flavor). Really enjoyed our new burger joint! Dietary restrictions: Lots of Gluten Free choices and staff are knowledgeable

Cheap ingredients Had the steak & cheese sandwich and I m pretty sure it had kraft singles cheese slices. Was in a basic, toasted hot dog bun. The steak was alright, but very greasy. Also had the cheese & bacon fries, which were decent. Not as much bacon as I had hoped for tho. Service was great though, thanks!

My new favorite burger joint for a semi-quick gluten free meal. GF fryer, soft fresh GF buns (a rarity in fast food) and tender juicy beef patties. Comfortable seating too. Adding local artist canvases to the walls is my only suggestion to earn 5 star atmosphere Dietary restrictions: Gluten intolerance

Wife and I got to Wayback and waited about 30 minutes for our order. We realized that the staff had given our order to another customer with the same name as me even though his order was completely different. We waited another 10 minutes until we got our order. We got a quick Sorry! and that was all - no coupon or anything that one might expect. Suggestion... it might worthwhile to give out order numbers along with the customers name so this doesnt happen again. Food was amazing though!

so i arrived at a restaurant she dont even say Hii.... thats okay. Normally the other girl who work at reception ask the order number and inform that how long it will take. As yesterday order needs 30 minutes to prepare so i pickup and delivered other order in a mean time. Looks like this gorl was upset or maybe not in a mood to speak with anyone .i wasnt even sure that she know that there is a skip driver in a restaurant because she didnt even look at me so after not getting any response from her i directly ask the guy who was working in a kitchen.

Went for the bacon ranch cheesesteak sandwich. It was busy, very limited seats, the wait for for was quite a long time, which I do understand when things are made fresh, and am fine to wait for good food. The sandwich was pretty underwhelming too be honest. The steak meat itself was delicious but the bun isnt toasted and it wasnt really a cheesesteak as the cheese was just processed cheddar cheese slices cold, on the bottom of a cold bun (the size of a hot dog bun) with shaved meat and some ranch. Couldnt detect the bacon on it either... pretty disappointing considering its cost! I really wanted to like it, but it just wasnt anything to write home about.

★★★★★

Ive only come here a couple times, with that being said. The staff at this location are very friendly, they frequently greet you from the kitchen as you walk in the door. Sure you might have to wait 3-5 minutes for your order, but its always made to order and tastes delicious. I definitely look forward to future visits.

Passing through Cochrane, we decided to stop in here for a burger based.on google search for burgers in the area. The reviews were promising. When we ordered we noticed the ad for the bacon ranch cheesesteak sandwich which looked amazing in the ad on the menu board. So it was nothing loke thr image. It was sliced cheese, not melted, no bacon on mine and a small amount on my girlfriends. And the steak was.the equivalent of the ground beef they use at taco time in their tacos. Very underwhelming in appearance and taste. Also if you are going to have a glass windo into the kitchen. Please wear gloves when handling the cheese and othe ingrdients. One guy who looked.like he was training was wearing disposable plastic gloves. But the other worker who was training him was handling all the ingredients with bare hands while while touching his face and hair. Im not a germaphobe but I dont like seeing the food Im about to eat being handled with bare hands.

The burger is just not good. I thought it was going to be a step up from fast food, but honestly A&W is better. Super thin patty. One lame tomato slice and the bun was meh. Fries were good, milkshake good. People were nice and friendly. Ultimately worth it? No.

Great burger

March 21, 2024

Just ordered 2 grilled chicken burgers. I asked for 1 to be gluten free and for them to mark the wrapping on the gluten free burger. It took 20 minutes for the order. Thats not the real issue. When I got home I saw GG on the wrapping and gave it to my fiancee (who is Celiac!!). She took 1 bite then realized it wasnt gluten free!!. I called back and was told that they marked BOTH burgers as Gluten Free then put an X on the one that wasnt. They could have alerted me in the restaurant rather than just expecting me to know and figure it out. Right now, my fiancee is getting violently sick from eating the bun that had the gluten. They just didnt take the care needed to inform me that they made a mistake marking the wrappings. This is NOT the first time weve had issues like this from this location. I gave them chances. No Ill NEVER go back again. They dont get sick - she is! Youre in the food industry and should be taking more care. I dont see that care being taken.

Went in and ordered to go to avoid mistakes, and half my order was wrong. Ordered double bacon cheese, no veggies or ketchup add hotsauce combo with gravy. Also got a cheese steak combo. No gravy, no bacon , had all veggies and ketchup on the burger. They were closing so didnt want to stay and check but should have. I normally dont have this problem but pretty disappointed. Store is closed and didnt get a receipt. Check you order before you leave.

We went for dinner as we wanted to try it out. Staff was nice, however, the constant flow of staff coming to the table every few minutes (no joke) asking how everything was, was annoying, and grateful for when we were done so we could leave. The food was okay, all four of us felt flavour was lacking in the meals we ordered-the burger meat patty, chicken burger and cheese steak, the fries. We may try it again at some point after they get all the kinks of a new business worked out, but no plans to rush back.

Always love trying new places that open in town when there already feels like what we have is limited (and generic). Tried this place last weekend and it was GREAT! Very tasty food, ordering online was easy and food was still hot when I picked it up. Staff was incredibly friendly. Really loved the customization of the burgers and they have alot of options. Space is nice and open, plenty space to sit, as this place doesnt really peg me as a sit down place but more a fancy fast food place, so there is plenty for that need. We are defineitly adding this to our treat yo self roster!

Because this place has a separate fryer and Gluten free buns I was was anxious to try it out! I phoned ahead and ordered at 5:10pm and was told 10-15min. I arrived to a full place (it s quite small) and had to wait in line to ask for my order only to see that they hadn t even started on it. As I glanced around I saw other bored looking people all waiting as well. It seemed a little chaotic in the kitchen, cooks were scrambling and talking really loud to each other. I realize this is a new place and they maybe are not prepared for so many people at once but this is not a restaurant, it is an order at the counter type place, like A&W so waiting 20min to get my order of burger and fries is unacceptable. That being said, the food was awesome. Huge burger and ample fries. The only reason I m not giving it a 5 star rating is the length of time I waited from the moment I ordered to when I received my food. Girls at the front were friendly and nice. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bun and fries

Amazing food, very friendly staff. I havent been disappointed both times Ive been there and will continue to venture here. Very clean establishment.

December 21, 2023

Im actually astonished by how bad the food was. The Philly cheesesteak was an unseasoned shredded steak sandwich with no onion, a slice of plastic cheese, and was cold. The chips were burnt and didnt even have the sea salt on them, and the tattertots were not nearly special enough to cost 5 dollars. Genuinely surprised at a restaurant to get away with food Id expect from a second rate high school cafeteria. Youd be better off going to A&W or Wendys at this point.

A very nice clean well run burger joint. The staff were very friendly and on top of even clearing the empty baskets from the table and wiping it down when done. No forced tipping options and relaxed atmosphere. Little small inside but a very nice place all in all. The homemade fries were much better than most of the five guys franchises and the burgers juicy and care taken in making them look neat and tidy as opposed to slapped together haphazardly. Most definitely will come back when Im in Cochrane again.

This place was so so good!!! We had an impossible burger and a bacon cheese burger, shared fries, a pop and a milkshake. It s so fresh and doesn t taste like fast food at all. For all of our food it was around $30 and it for sure was worth it. Their staff was also extremely friendly, Randy was ontop of everything even offering a free refill of our drink half way through our meal and checking in to see if everything was okay. The manager also stopped by to see if we liked everything which I thought was quite kind. We will absolutely be back, very refreshing to feel like your eating actual food at fast food restaurant.

Went with a party of six. Sampled the kids and adult menus. We found the food mediocre and over-priced. The prices on the signs are for burger only. They dont have a price up for the meal. (Which is NO deal at all.) All burgers with the exception of the rodeo burger were very sloppy with too much sauce, resulting in messy shirts and soggy buns. The rodeo burger was dry and required 4 packets of mustard/ketchup to make it palatable. Of the 4 milkshake flavors we tried (mint oreo, vanilla, cocoa mocha and coffee), only the mint had any flavour. All the others might as well have been ordered as vanilla. The home fries were hit and miss with some burnt and some not fully cooked. The french fries were soggy and under cooked. The Cajun tater tots were flavorless (not at all spicy), but they were at least crispy. The only thing any of us really liked was the clock where the hands ran backwards. Overall we all agreed this is a place we will NOT return to. Very disappointing meals all around.

Very pleased with the burgers and quality of the food! Without hesitation, they made mine without a bun. Great to see some other options like salads and nachos as well on the menu. When there is a correction that needed to be made with our order, they worked very hard to prepare the meal as quickly as possible.

Amazing staff and great service! However, the food could be greatly improved by adding more seasoning and flavor intensity all around. Food : 2/5

Went for lunch and had a bit of a 5 Guys feel going on. We were welcomed as we walked in the door by about 4-5 different front and back of house staff. Super friendly staff. The atmosphere is old diner decor. We ordered at the front door and opted to dine in. We were seated and our food arrived within 10 mins. They came by several times to check on our food and offered a refill. I enjoyed a classic burger and dry combo. Fresh cut fries, not too salty.

Perhaps it was the manager of the store, maybe not. But the person who was serving us was very friendly and happy. He had asked us about how everything was after we had finished eating and it was great customer service!! The burger was thick and delicious and the tater tots were amazing! I will be going back for sure!

Food was bad. I had one bite of my cheese steak sandwich and could not eat another bite. My husband had burger and the fries and they were not good. Staff was friendly, but the food has to be good as well if you want people to come back. This basically is more for kids. .just saying.

First time visit and wasnt disappointed. Best burger Ive had in a long time! Their fries are kinda boring tho tbh. Just like general frozen Fries. Wish this place served in house cut fries! But their burgers are top tier and the price was super reasonable

Was out for a day cruise and decided to stop for a burger. I wanted something different that s not the usual A&W so Googled burgers in Cochrane. Wayback popped up. Thought I would give it a try. The place was spotless and bright, a few booths and a small counter with stools. Fashioned after a 50 malt shop. Ordered the classic burger ($9 and change) with all the toppings except ketchup. The burger has two patties, two slices of American cheese and a large fresh soft bun. The meat was lightly packed and tasty but could have used some seasoning. A little salt and pepper goes a long way. The bun was fresh but I would of liked it toasted. The menu is extensive and I was told the onion rings are made fresh everyday. Guy behind the counter was personal and talkative. I will be going back to try other items in the future.

Really good food. Price is reasonable as well for a great burger. The burger is actually filling when other fast food chains ( with drive thrus) just don t hit the spot. The onions rings are amazing! It s so hard to find good onion rings these days that are crispy. Great service every time I ve been there as well. The staff is nice and they keep the restaurant very clean.

Literally the worst lunch I have had in years. The burger was paper thin (the thinnest burger I have ever had) the restrooms were disgusting, the grilled cheese sandwich was burger bun with unmelted cheese that tasted like no name rubber. The salad was brown I have never left a bad review in my life until now but this location deserves it.

The food was excellent, and so many gluten free options, including gluten free fryers to avoid cross contamination. The gluten free bun was really good, which says alot because gluten free is hard to do right. This location was clean, and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Great experience all around, we will definitely be back!

The owner/manager of Wayback has the best energy. I see him paying attention to the kitchen, and always jumping back to help when needed.

Maybe just bad timing with the grand opening but some workers standing around while I waited 30 mins for my food, milkshakes were melted by the time I got my food. Got home and the burger was meh. The pictures they have on the menu of the food looks nothing like the food you get. Burger was ok tasting 2.5/5. Not much room to sit and eat lots of parking however. They have music and TV for dinning in.

First time going in today. I had the classic burger and bacon cheese fries. Both were very good. I also got a chocolate milkshake which i assume was good because my kids finished it in no time. The only problem i had was with the chicken caesar salad. Everything was there except for the caesar dressing so basically it was just a salad and also there was way to much pepper on the chicken. Luckily though i had dressing in the fridge.

Stock standard smash burgers. Inoffensive, but unnoteworthy. The real reason to visit is the aquarium-like glasswalled kitchen and the brutal chaos occurring within. The wait is long, but if you post up in the right spot youll not be bored. (stay strong human burger press guy, u slayin it).
