I love going to out-of-the-way dives for a good bite. Especially a place I haven’t been before. And since I was in an unfamiliar land, I went to what, in my experience, is a good thing: Burger Place in a Gas Station.
So this Wayback is on a corner of road I almost missed. Walking in, saw one person at the counter. Young guy. Dylan. Couldn’t tell if he was 16 or 18, but since it was fairly late, he must be old enough for a 24/7 place. Super friendly. Good kid. Give him a raise.
I fell in love with the look of the Chipotle Burger. Anything with Jalapeños and Pepper-jack makes my backside tingle in all the best ways. Also saw cheese fries, which I never miss. Ordered them. Dylan asked if I wanted it as a combo. Got me a drink. Good kid.
Sat down. The open area gives you a good view of the food prep. Things looked good. I was excited. Saw my burger finished. Saw my fries. Waiting for that thick yellow slop of cheese. Saw a handful shred put on top. And then...my order...put into a microwave/mini-oven...that kind of threw me. Quickly enough the plate was removed, and delivered. Quirky presentation on faux newspaper
So first, the cheese fries. Super disappointed. If you’re like me, and want a nice thick cheese sauce, you will be. It’s not bad, but melted cheese is not the same. Fries were super crisp and tasty though.
The burger...the thin patties that are popular, so technically a double. Cooked nice. Great flavor. Bun was good too. Just the right number of Jalapeños. Great burger. Super tasty. Right spice.
But the thing that won me? The Chipotle Mayo. My god that was good. They sell it on the side too. I wish I’d gotten that instead of the cheese. Put the bit that dropped off my burger on my fries and it was delicious. I’d go back just for that mayo.
So all in all, a good meal. The mayo made up for the cheese fries, but not enough for the full 5 stars. And this Wayback is WAY OUT of the way for me. But if you’re out, and run across a little gas station you might just miss, stop in for a bite. Get that sauce. And say...

This place is inside of a gas station first off !The burger was horrible !!! The onions were diced and not grilled to give the burger more flavor ! I ordered an impossible burger which is my usual and it was not the same ! It was not cooked all the way through! The entire place is just nasty ! All I was smelling is that loud lavender fabuloso they use to clean with! It through my entire appetite off ! I spoke to the manager and he was talking all over me! And not to mentioned as I was placing my order he was staring at the older guy who came in as if he was trying to make fun of the guy because he came in with a cooler and a bag but I didn’t find anything funny about making fun of people!!!! He is horrible at customer service ! All he wanted to jump back in the lady face that worked there as well. I assume that’s his girlfriend how close he was in her face! This place is a JOKE ! Save your money ! It is nasty inside ! I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE NOT ONE STAR !! BE ALERT WHEN SOMETHING IS INSIDE A GAS STATION!!!! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER ! DIRTY GAS STATION TRASH ! IT WAS A LAST MIN NIGHT RUN! IF YOU ARE HUNGRY PLEASE GO TO WHATABURGER! They are open late !THE SMELL IS HORRIBLE!!! I HAVE BEEN TO WAY BETTET...

Incredibly nice staff, good food. If it was not in this gas station, I would totally always recommend, and probably give it 5 stars. However, where it is really makes me question going back. While the wayback burger section is clean and nice, the rest of the gas station is disgusting. Just imagine that highway gas station with video slots and a million knick knacks that you know nobody ever buys and only comes in for smokes and lottery tickets. They share the soda fountain with the gas station and it was in rough shape and only had 50% of its drinks, that was the only disappointing side of the meal part. If you used the app to do take out, I think it may be ok, we just got a very bad vibe every minute we were sitting in that station though. Here's to hoping they get a...
