Since opening its first location in Newark, Delaware in 1991, Wayback Burgers has been serving up more than just meals—it’s been serving up memories. Built on the idea of celebrating the “inner rebel,” Wayback is a place where you can skip the veggies, but always hold the door for grandma. It’s a spot that feels both nostalgic and fresh, blending the best of “back in the day” classics with today’s bold flavors.

At Jake’s Wayback in Hamden, CT, we take pride in delivering burgers the way they were meant to be—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Our menu doesn’t stop at burgers, though. You’ll find a full lineup of comfort favorites, including hand-dipped milkshakes, crispy fries, chicken sandwiches, and more. Every bite is honest, straightforward, and made to satisfy.
