Just had my 1st "Wayback Burger" yesterday & it took me way back ....

Jake’s Wayback Burgers is a throwback to an old-time family diner and simpler times. We stopped at the new franchise in the Southmont Shopping Center in Bethlehem Township. The fresh, made-to-order sandwiches are handcrafted from never-frozen beef according to the nice people at Jake's.

The menu has garden burgers, turkey burgers, BLTs, grilled cheese, chicken and hot dogs in addition to its great burgers. We had the Jake Cheeseburgers and man were they good. I had the chocolate milk shake and it took me way back to the old soda-fountain milk shakes of years ago. Believe me, we’ll be back really soon.
