Why? To remind our customers that we make our burgers the way they used to be made “way back when”.
Jake’s Hamburgers has been a favorite for great tasting burgers and thick, creamy shakes since we opened our first restaurant in 1991. Our burgers have always been made from fresh ground beef, cooked to order the way you like them. That’s the way burgers used to be made, and that’s the way we still make them today.
Nowadays, fast-food chains are selling “premium burgers” that are bigger and cost more, but taste just like their regular burgers. They want people to think they’re getting something special, but they’re not. That’s just not right.
Burger lovers deserve better than that. We are changing our name to remind people there is one place they can still get a better tasting burger, like they did “way back when”.
Q: Why change the name?
A: We wanted to remind people that at Jake’s Wayback Burgers they’ll always get a burger that is made the way it should be made - fresh, juicy, delicious and made to order.
Q: What does Wayback mean?
A: The name Wayback is to let people know we’ve been making our burgers the same way since “way back when.” It’s a sign that you will always get an old-fashioned, quality burger.
Q: Do you have a nickname?
A: Our official name is Jake’s Wayback Burgers, but you can call us Wayback Burgers or Wayback for short.
