Wait until they have a full staff. They are usually good, but the last two times have been very upsetting for everyone. If you do go, please know you will need to be patient and understanding.

Great food and staff. However it was not busy at all and took over a half hour for us to get our burgers. And the place is looking so run down. Its so sad.

Had Breakfast with my kids this morning. Excellent service. And the best breakfast I've had at a local restaurant in a long time. Perfect portions, eggs cooked just as I asked.

The weightir forgot my fork and charged us extra for the side potato even thonits supposed to come on the side. All and all probably won't be back as she was rude not only to me but to my client as well. I didn't get her name but she had a minnymouse skirt on and if you're going to be rude to someone with a walker DONT TAKE THE WALKER FROM THE TABLE and sit it by the back door. their was no reason for such treatment. It's ben 2 weeks and im just now posting cuz my client is still upset this happened to her. 5/10 good food but bad customer service and you shouldn't treat people bad just because they are older and disabled

I would love to give a 5 star review because this place has SO MUCH potential, but I have some mixed feelings. I love the concept, the style/decor/uniforms, the menu is fun everything is authentic feeling and the food is great! HOWEVER, the place is very run down and needs repairs, service was not prompt nor was it good, one worker seemed to be on the nod while working. While we were there we actually watched 2 separate families get up and walk away because of poor service, it was NOT busy we were 1 of 2 tables there and there were 2 servers. We did not get prompt service and the 2nd table to leave before ordering was sitting there for 24 minutes before even getting menus or waters, another 25 minutes went by without service which prompted them to leave. I really hope the owner decides to screen employees and hold them accountable for Service because the food was excellent and the establishment has the potential to be so much more!

This is a fantastic place with an outstanding menu. Really love the retro look to it with all the old time things in there. Brings me back to my childhood.

The last two times I've visited the Wayback Cafe, the service has been excellent! Sorry I can't remember her name but the waitress with the short black hair (Julie maybe) has been absolutely over the top in her service; a very friendly and attentative waitress! The food was excellent as always. Wayback's breakfasts, burgers, and shakes are amazing, delicious, made/cooked perfectly, and always with excellent presentation. And the atmosphere, why wouldn't I rave about its this wonderful and cheery restaurant with an old-fashioned look and appeal. They have many displays and reading material from the 40s, 50s & 60s--always very interesting and a person can find something new each visit to spark a fond memory. If you're visiting Lewiston, Idaho, don't miss dining at this eatery!

Decent food and alright service. However the entire restaurant smelled like cigarettes and that threw me off. I ordered togo rather than dining in for that reason.
