Wayback Burgers food truck

Midtown’s sidewalks see their share of food trucks, but not all of them keep a regular post on 7th Avenue. The stretch between 48th and 50th Streets is where you’ll find Wayback Burgers rolling up each evening, offering a casual counterpoint to the neighborhood’s sit-down spots. A quick bite doesn’t have to mean settling for something forgettable—here, the menu leans into straightforward fast food that still manages to feel like a small upgrade from the usual drive-thru fare.

Dinner crowds and solo diners tend to converge around the truck’s window at 745 7th Ave, New York, NY 10019, especially when the office towers empty out and the sidewalks fill with people looking for something uncomplicated. The setup is simple: order, grab a tray, and either eat on the go or claim one of the nearby benches if you’re in no rush. Kids usually take to the portions without complaint, and the vibe stays low-key enough that no one feels out of place.

If you’re mapping out the route, directions are here. For anything that isn’t already on the board, call and ask. The truck’s spot doesn’t change, but it’s always worth confirming before you walk over—nothing worse than showing up to an empty curb.
