Wayback Burgers

Wayback Burgers in Wadsworth, Ohio sits on the corner of Williams Reserve Boulevard just a short drive from the historic downtown square. The fast‑casual eatery blends a 1950s diner vibe with modern neon signage, chrome‑finished stools and an open‑kitchen counter where staff hand‑form each patty on demand. The menu centers on classic American burgers—such as the Wayback Classic, the Bacon‑Cheddar Smash, and the plant‑based Impossible™ Melt—served with thick‑cut seasoned fries and a rotating selection of limited‑time melts like the Sweet & Spicy Melt and the seasonal Winter Melt. Hand‑dipped milkshakes, available in vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and occasional specialty flavors, are thick enough to eat with a spoon. Prices range from $8 for a single burger to $15 for a combo with fries and a shake, making it a budget‑friendly family spot. The restaurant welcomes groups with indoor booths, high‑top tables, and a small outdoor patio shaded by string lights. Opening hours are 11 am – 8 pm on Sundays, 10:30 am – 9 pm Monday through Friday, and 11 am – 8 pm Saturday, with take‑out and curbside service available. Friendly staff, led by manager Jason Murawski, keep the line moving and often recommend the daily “Melt of the Day.” Whether you’re stopping after a game at the nearby Wadsworth High School football field or looking for a quick lunch after shopping at the nearby Wadsworth Mall, Wayback Burgers offers fresh, made‑to‑order comfort food in a welcoming, retro‑styled setting.
