Jake’s Wayback Burgers, Rehoboth Beach, Restaurant, New Burger Joint at the Beach, Delaware Beaches….”Best Burgers under Bun”

Lately I have had this love affair with burgers.  It is part of the summertime grub.  A new “burger joint” has just opened in Rehoboth Beach.  It is the perfect location because it has plenty of parking.  So, Michael and I decided to check it out and taste it ourselves.

Jake’s Wayback Burgers is located at 19324 Lighthouse Plaza.  Very visible from Rt. 1, which is the main route in and out of the beaches.  Their website is www.waybackburgers.com.  In it you can check out their menu.  You can even order from your nearest location and once your order is completed you can pick it up.

Jake’s Wayback Burgers first opened in 1991. Here, in Rehoboth Beach, they opened a few days ago. Their hours of operation are 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.

Every month they will be featuring their “burger of the month”, as well as the “shake of the month”.

So, for having just opened, we were surprised that there was a line at the register.  We thought we would be the first ones to discover them.

I decided to order one of their signature burgers which was the Big Jake’s Cheeseburger with all the trimmings.  I also added their in house made potato chips.

They asked for our names; our order would be brought to our table.

My burger was big, juicy and perfectly cooked.  I like my burgers medium, but you can request them to be cooked whichever way you want to.  The chips were light, not greasy and so warm.  Very good.

Courtesy of the restaurant, we were brought some of their French fries.  They were crispy and tasty.

Michael had a junior burger which was, actually, a very good size as well.  But, when I tasted his malted milkshake I died.  It really was so good.  Just a taste is all I had.  I wanted some more; no way.  I already knew I would be paying for getting one of their bigger burgers.  I had to order it, in order to write this post.  You know how it is.

The term “wayback” came to mind as in way back when.  The milkshake was served in those old fashioned containers used when I was growing up..  And, it was thick, creamy and cold.

Jake’s Wayback Burgers also has turkey burgers, marinated chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, salads and specialty sandwiches.  The majority of the customers were ordering the burgers, though.

It is great to have more choices at the Beaches.  We welcome them and wish them much success.

 Note:  You can find them on Facebook and Twitter as Waybackburgers.

Have a great day!!…Talk to you later….

Five Guys, Hamburgers, Fries, Restaurant, Review, Ocean City, Maryland, Off the Chart

I might have to blame Cindi for having to drink water for for all meals for the next few days.  Washing all those calories out.  You saw the heading of this post; Five Guys, Hamburgers, Fries. 

I met Cindi at Five Guys in Ocean City, Maryland.  The address is 6401 Coastal Highway.  Tel. is 410-723-4411.  Website?  www.fiveguys.com.

I had never been to any of them.  They have been around for years; since 1986.  Rehoboth Beach and Lewes in Delaware have one each.

Every time I say that I have never been to one, people are surprised.  Their comments range from “they are the best”.  Then, another comment was “best beef without all that crap”.  Pardon my French.

Five Guys is considered to be a fast food joint; a very casual atmosphere, as well.  The one in Ocean City had plenty of tables available.  When we arrived it was packed.  It was 12:30 p.m.  But, by the time we left, everyone was gone.

I found out that they have zero artificial trans fats. That’s a relief!!  200 Five Guys will be opening up in 2011.  350,000 burgers are sold daily.  I can’t even imagine how many potatoes.

Don’t forget the bulk peanuts.  They were so good; adding fuel to the calories.

The menu is limited but there is a reason to their madness.  They want just a few items, serving them to the best of their ability.  Makes sense.

Cindi decided to order the Little Hamburger.  It looked great.  A normal size one.

I, decided that doing this would require for me to go all out.  I got the Bacon Cheeseburger with everything on it.  That meant, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, relish, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles.

It was huge and very messy.  Yes, I am guilty because I ate it all.

When I said that it was off the chart, I meant it in two ways; flavor and calories.  Just the Bacon Cheeseburger without the many toppings was 920 calories.  Add a few hundred for the toppings.  Cindi’s normal burger was a mere 480 calories.

Then, how could we not have fries?  We split them, thank God because they would have been 620 calories.  I figured we had 310 calories each, give or take.  They were so tasty!!

Even though I am telling you all this, I really don’t feel guilty.  Cindi and I don’t do this often.  Last time we ate this much was at the Oktoberfest in Bear Mountain, NY, in October.

Anyway, always the best times are spend with a girlfriend….talk to you later…
