The sandwich was tiny--basically the size of a slider--with just a few thin strips of shredded lettuce on top. For the price, it felt like a significant shrink from what I remembered. The medium fries came in a small white bag that looked more like a small or kids' size. When I politely pointed it out at the counter, the employee insisted it was a medium because "the bag has been stamped," which didn't address the obvious under-portioning. Overall, the food was fresh enough, but the value just wasn't there. This is the kind of experience that makes you think twice about returning. McDonald's, if you're listening--bring back the full-sized portions!

The good thing about this location is it's right off the freeway, so if you need to make a quick pit stop it's convenient. But beyond that, it's just not good.

Bacon, cheese, everything came together exactly how you want it. But just as important, the whole order was done right--fresh, hot, and put together like people actually cared. That matters.

Been here a few times before, and went again for an early dinner tonight. Every time I go to Waba Grill, I have an out-of-body experience. I always order that sweet, sweet chicken bowl. Oh yeah, gotta have muh onions! The tender chicken tickles my taste buds, and I sure do love that Waba Sauce! Pretty much the best "fast food" option in Castaic. I put "fast food" in quotes because it's so much tastier than all of the other local fast food options in Castaic. Stay cool, Waba Grill. read more

Normally I wouldn't post a review, but given the times, I thought I should share. I was there this weekend ordering food using the drive thru window. I noticed that the cook was not wearing a mask. I think that it is absolutely necessary to have a mask on when cooking someone else's food. I eat there all the time and love the food. But seeing this turned me off. I hope this issue is addressed. I'll be posting the same info on various Santa Clarita blogs. read more

Doesn't mean other people wouldn't like them, trust me, it's a me thing. Also ordered the Kung Pao with fried rice and holy chestnuts!! It's so hard to get a good Kung Pao with chestnuts these days! Not to mention the portion was huge. It's going to take me at least three to four days to finish all this food. But that's because I also ordered the Mongolian Beef, which I asked for to be spicy. When I opened that, I was a bit nervous. You know how you kind of cringe trying beef at a new place? That was the feeling I had, but I was presently surprised. It was not Chewy, grisly or tough and the mushrooms were awesome. I wished it was about five times spicer, but again, that's a me thing. All and all, I would absolutely order from Pick up Stix again. Fresh, tasty food and so much of it, at an affordable price, which you really can't say that about much these days. Lastly, their Chow Mein and Fried Rice and pretty great.

The tortang talong was a bit disappointing since it barely had any egg, and the lumpia wasn't crispy--it was soft.
