Celebrating Summer with Free Milkshakes at Wayback Burgers
On June 20, you can kick off summer 2024 with a free, refreshing milkshake at Wayback Burgers. Every year, on the first day of summer, Bonnie and Melvin Diwadkar give back to the community by offering milkshakes all day at their three Wayback Burgers locations: Leander, Round Rock, and Killeen. Customers can choose from classic favorites like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry-banana to the new birthday cake shake. While you’re there, don’t miss the restaurant’s current limited time offers that include the ghost pepper burger, spicy cheese curls, and strawberry shortcake milkshake.
A TASTE OF NOSTALGIA AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT
Bonnie and Melvin, owners of multiple Wayback Burgers locations in Central Texas, had a vision — to bring back old-fashioned, home-cooked meals shared with loved ones. They found the fulfillment of that vision at a franchise show in Houston, where they were immediately drawn to Wayback Burgers’ focus on creating a special dining experience in which each burger is customized to guests’ preferences and cooked from scratch. “We wanted to do something the community wanted,” she says. “Everybody looks forward to a good burger.”
The couple opened their first Wayback Burgers in Killeen next to Fort Hood (now Fort Cavazos) in 2015. They enjoyed seeing soldiers and their families come together over their burgers. “When soldiers are deployed, their families come in and reminisce about their loved ones enjoying our food,” Bonnie says. “And when they return, the first thing they do is come to our restaurant to have a good American meal.”
Wayback Burgers in Round Rock, located across from Ascension Seton Medical Center, has become a comfort spot for patients and their families. “The first thing they’ll do when they are released from the hospital is get a good milkshake or burger or send their families to pick up some good food from us,” Bonnie says.
Overall, she adds, “I’m not here to change the community, but to add to it.”
Wayback Burgers also has a rewards program through its app, where customers can order in advance and earn a free burger as well as learn about special promotions. The restaurant also provides catering services for events and will bring their delicious, nostalgic meals in person to various gatherings.
