Profile

This venue is closed.

This mid-Atlantic chain opened as Jake’s Hamburgers in Delaware in 1991 and changed its name to Jake’s Wayback Burgers when (in the words of its “about us” statement) “celebrity chefs got in on the act too, selling overpriced burgers for $20 at their upper-crust burger boutiques.” An all-American menu features hot dogs, milkshakes, onion rings, and fries in addition to their signature burger.
