'Good Ol' Days Coming Soon': Wayback Burgers Opening In Monroe

MONROE, CT — Good news for burger fans: Wayback Burgers has announced a new location opening in Monroe.

The Cheshire-based chain will open its newest franchise at 375 Spring Hill Road.

Wayback offers all the burgers, fries, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches and double-bacon options you would expect from an American fast casual food joint, but adds more than a few twists. Their menu includes "The Carolina," a southern-style burger served with yellow American cheese, slaw, chili, onions, and mustard. They're also big on Cajun rémoulade sauce, and like to invert the buns on some hamburger options (Don't knock it until you've tried it). Other menu standouts include hand-dipped milk shakes made with Blue Bunny ice cream, Buffalo chicken burgers and fried mac-and-cheese bites.

The first Wayback Burgers opened in Delaware in 1991, under the name Jake's Hamburgers, and has been expanding internationally since 2013. In Connecticut, Wayback restaurants can be found in Bristol, Cheshire, Danbury, Derby, East Windsor, Granby, Groton, Hamden, Meriden, Middletown, Norwalk, Old Saybrook, Orange, Rocky Hill, Stratford, Torrington, Waterbury, Watertown and West Hartford. The Monroe franchise will be Wayback's 21st location in the Nutmeg State, and is expected to open later this year.
