Here's another place I wasn't really aware of. Judging from the name and the decor, they were going for a retro vibe, which can certainly work for a burger place. This storefront is in the Lexington Square enclave which is anchored by Lowes Food.

I remember Wayback Burgers trying to make a stand in my town in Texas with three locations. All of them bombed and closed within 18 months, especially as hamburgers were such a competitive industry there.
