Wayback Burgers planning another Gwinnett location

Wayback Burgers is planning its third restaurant in Gwinnett.

The Connecticut-based chain announced this week its plans to open a restaurant at 3264 Buford Drive -- just across Ga. 20 from the Mall of Georgia -- this fall. It has previously opened stores in Lawrenceville and Braselton.

The 1,600-square-foot Buford location will feature "a warm red barn board interior with white and stainless steel accents, modeled after the great American roadside burger joint," officials said in a news release. It will also feature a patio.

The Buford location is at least the fourth new Mall of Georgia-area restaurant slated to open in the coming months.

At the actual mall, Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill is expected to open in August, as is a new Red Robin restaurant. Alino Pizzeria — a "true Napoletana pizzeria" with North Carolina roots — is also coming soon.
