Sure looks to be coming together!

With all of the variables that go into restaurant build-outs you generally won’t find an exact date until they can be sure. I just checked with the franchisee and they are still aiming for opening by mid-December... Will be confirming a date later this week!

Wayback Burger
1/6/2020 at 7:14 PM

Tonight I was invited to friends and family night at Wayback Burger which officially opens tomorrow. I have to say they have some of the best burgers and milkshakes I’ve ever tasted!! The handmade shakes were highly recommended and they didn’t disappoint at all. People have to give this place a try it’s truly different and the freshness in the meat patty is instantly noticeable!! Highly recommend a visit there!

The burgers are really fresh and juicy. Milkshake blew me away, will be going back soon for sure.

Lost five guys, so why not. The menu looks reasonably priced, and really not a million choices which I consider a good thing.
Something I believe in is the rewards usually go to those who take the risks.

Congratulations

Don’t like it? Don’t go! Pretty easy. People have to whine about something I guess.

Whenever I visit my family in Regina I always eat at Fudruckers,they have amazing burgers! I've always wanted a place like that in Brandon! I'm so glad that we finally have a good burger joint in Brandon since the closing of five guys. To those that moan about the amount of restaurants in Brandon, you come off as sounding like you don't like businesses opening in Brandon. For every new business it brings jobs and opportunities to the city. I welcome new business no matter what they offer, it's never a bad thing when a new business opens its doors!

Oh great...another pizza place...pffft we have too many...Oh great a new clothing store, likely stupid clothing or cheap garbage...another car dealership, well I'll tell you this, they won't ever get my business...

They're the reason social media exists...what would forums be without trolls or grumps?

We already have like 20 some pizza places.. It'll be quite nice to go get a burger sometime that isn't fast food.

We are looking forward to trying it. We miss 5 guys. Sometimes you just want a good burger and not fast food. This is definitely the kind of restaurant Brandon needs and if it’s good it will stand the test of time

I found Wayback to be Five Guys meets Fatburger. Absolutely decent burger but I miss the bag o'fries.

There's a really good amount of variety, almost overwhelming at first, I recommend the potato chips with honey dill sauce, absolutely killer combo.

You’ll find that burgers and fries are fast food, and not the healthiest or most balanced meal.

That it is good to have a variety of things to eat!! A person wouldn't eat there every day, but as a meal out, it is fun to try something different ! By the sounds of it, there is lots of various side dishes there, and it looks like different burgers offered !
Why not try something from a new place? Support a new business, support the staff and local economy?
I'm excited to try the milkshakes!

Do you not raise cattle or plant potatoes? What do you sell? Just grains?

Anyway all of us have a limited time on Earth, as soon as we are born we start the process of dying so live each day as if it's your last. I'm not saying to gorge but enjoy whatever life has to offer you.

I don't think he said anything about what he grows, rather fast food is not healthy for people in general.

A simple question requires a simple answer and no, not from you but from the person I asked! Simple right?

I thought it was a great burger. Very tasty. Service was a little slow and disorganized but hey it's brand new. I'll definitely be back again.

Had the classic burger and it was ok..nothing to write home about, I would say five guys has a better tasting burger...maybe I’ll try building my own next time to see if that changes things. Had the chips and dill dip as suggested on here and those were great! Will definitely give the burger another shot

We haven’t ate here in Brandon yet (tried last night but ya right!! Lol. Line was crazy) but we ate at the one in Winnipeg. Husband had a burger and I had a bite...I’ll try my own next time but so far, I think 5 guys is much better. I had the hot dog and it’s a lot smaller than shows. Wasn’t anything special but the bun was good, sweet tasting. The chips with sea salt were good, the fries were okay and the milkshakes are amazing. The other people with us liked their burgers and loved the shakes as well.

Overall, it’s a step up from the average fast food burger but I’m still hoping 5 guys will come back....

Yes I do run a cow/calf herd and I produce grain. People can eat whatever they want but to pretend that fast restaurant food is healthy would be wrong. I just believe that we should enjoy a proper balanced diet including meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts and try to avoid processed or fat and sugar laden foods. Beef can be enjoyed in a hundred better ways rather than just a burger. Of course it is the individuals choice .

you raise beef but are not vegan! To each their own I guess eh? i'd love nothing better than a steak, I do need to eat more red meat but if I can only afford hamburger then that's what I have to eat.
But like someone pointed out above, the OP wanted to know when the place opened, not if they should try it or if it was healthy for them to eat

Farmergeorge was simply responding to the person who said it is nice to get a burger that isn't fast food.
In my books hamburgers and fries are fast food, so I am curious why a few seem to think wayback is not fast food?

I will try the ace once, just to see, but if there are long line ups now I guess I will wait awhile.

Depends on your definition of fast food.

In a city full of pizza joints I welcome a different option. From what I have heard so far it’s really good. I am going to give it some time to let things slow down a bit then will definitely give it a try
