Nuway Burgers

Byway Burger delivered exactly what we were craving—a no-frills, roadside-style burger joint with character and flavor. The food was genuinely good, with that satisfying, old-school burger taste that’s hard to find these days. It wasn’t just another chain burger—it had a unique touch that made it stand out, from the perfectly cooked patties to the crispy, golden fries. The atmosphere inside definitely leans vintage—some might even call it a little run-down—but honestly, that’s part of the charm. It felt like stepping into a piece of local history, and it matched the Route 66 road trip vibe we were going for perfectly. We didn’t want anything polished or fancy—just solid food in a place with personality—and that’s exactly what we got. What really made our visit memorable, though, was the service. Elle, the hostess, was hands-down one of the best we’ve encountered anywhere. She was warm, attentive, and truly cared about our experience. It’s rare to find someone so naturally welcoming, and her energy elevated the entire meal. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back next time we pass through.

I grew up eating hamburgers but this was my first time to eat a "crumbly" burger. Loved it The 2 waitresses were so very friendly and attentive Do yourself a favor and have the #1 with the frosted mug of root beer!

A Wichita only fast food joint that serves loose meat burgers. Not many places serve loose meat sandwiches anymore. Old school feel with diner, barstool seats and booths. Onion rings were good but the root beer was great. Affordable, fast and friendly kids waiting on you. Something different if you're passing through.

NuWay is a classic. We stop every time we go back home to Kansas City. I’ve never had a bad meal here. People are always nice too. We are a family of 5 and never spend more then $50

Tried NuWay for the first time. Although the Bacon Cheddar NuWay was good, the burger meat could use a little bit more salt. The onion rings could be less greasy, but was still good. The root beer was also pretty good and worth coming back for more.

This was a different kind of burger, a crumbly burger, and it was pretty good. I had the bacon cheese crumbly burger. The fries weren't bad, they were crisped well, just needed salt (which I added). But the number one reason I will come back was the Root Beer, they make it there and it was delicious. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. Bottom line: It's worth trying, especially the Root Beer.

Get out of the main path. This place has had a lot of Honor's in the Food Industry. A lot of black/white photos of pioneering new ways ground beef, doing more on hot dogs, chlile. I get out my way...have a tall frozen mug of root & chile w/ bean's at the White Stone Bldg.

An amazing place to eat, if you do visit Wichita. I really enjoyed my 'crumbly' burger, and the root beer was good. If I was a local resident, I know I'd be coming back for liter root beer refills all the time!
