    Waba Bowl with Its low rice, chicken and steak portions.

    Waba Grill is dead. I have had terrible experiences with greedy portions and dirty practices with other local Waba Grills. This location stood out for a little while, it provided fair portions and service. It was my go to Waba to avoid the other ones even if it meant driving twice the distance. However, today it obliterated my positive outlook on Waba Grill entirely. First I show up to get my order and as I walk in the restaurant had a very foul odor. It literally smelled like a dirty bathroom because someone didn't clean the feces. Next, I ask for my order and it still not ready and being packed even though I'm there 5 minutes after it was supposed to be ready. By the time I get my bag with the 4 bowls I ordered the food is now luke warm. Here is the worst part and the most upsetting. The portions of food are absurdly ridiculous. I got one chicken veggie bowl, one chicken bowl, one Waba bowl and one steak bowl and a 5 piece dumpling order for $50.13. The steak bowl was more of a rice bowl because the portion was so small idk how it could be called a steak bowl. My Waba bowl was the same but both the chicken and steak portions were also reduced. The more saddening part is even the rice portions are low. $50.13 for RICE with mediocre chicken and steak portions is just absurd and greedy. They are even taking Waba sauce and bottling it themselves and writing Waba sauce with sharpie on the caps to resell it. How much penny pinching is going on in this business? Is it too slow that there is not enough business that they're going with these greedy business tactics? If that's the case then based on my experience today, why wouldn't it be slow? How do businesses treat their customers this way and expect to succeed and remain busy and prosperous? What in the hell is going on with Waba?? This was not how Waba Grill was 2+ years ago. It has just been going on a huge decline. It isn't one location here and there anymore, it's basically every location now! Are these franchises just being sold to anyone now? Waba has nothing but greedy business owners who serve you less and charge you more. Last time I ever step foot into any Waba Grill. I will not support a company who cares more about their pockets than their customers receiving the fair amount of food and service that they are paying for.

    More beef in tofu bowl

    I ordered a tofu bowl and found pieces of beef in it. Why offer a vegetarian option if there's going to be meat in it?

The quesabirria was a one of my favorite things on the menu, one of the best I've had. Everything I had was top-notch! One of the best parts was the salsa bar. They had onions, cilantro, red sauce, green sauce, limes, everything you could want for your tacos. The service was quick, even with a large lunch crowd coming in. The restaurant filled up quickly, the dine-in seats were all about taken and the outdoor patio was filling up too. The parking lot was very limited and one way, so just know that when pulling in. I'd love to come back! 10/10 would recommend.

I ordered in advance and went to pick up my food, but since I was starving, I ended up just eating there on their patio. The tacos were okay. Personally, I thought they were pretty mid and not as flavorful as I was hoping they'd be. They did have a spicy sauce that I dipped the tacos in, and that definitely helped the flavor. I personally didn't love the tacos, but to be fair, I also didn't try anything else on the menu so I can't speak for the rest of their food. The place itself is a decent size, and the patio area is actually pretty nice. The staff was very kind, my order was ready right on time, and I appreciated that they weren't stingy with the sauces. Overall not a bad spot, but the quesabirria tacos just didn't fully hit for me. Oh well *shrug*

The next day I went for the first time, I was in a hurry and I only had 20 minutes to be back at the hospital. Although I wanted shrimp and or a fish that was going to take 20 minutes to make it and I did not have that to give. The cashier lady said that the barbecue beef would be the fastest thing to make so I went with that. I ordered two. I got that in about 10 minutes and I was able to rush back to the hospital in time. Later, I was eating this on my way home and while driving and can I tell you that this was GOOD. I really wish I was sitting at a table to eat it because I just wanted to chow down, but I could only take quick bites at lights so I was very sad about that. The next day, I decided to stop by again because if you find something good, no need to go somewhere else. This time, I was with my mom and based on the pictures on the wall, she chose the Hawaiian fried rice mix and we decided to share it. There was so much food. We were both able to eat and each had leftovers to eat the other half the next day. The food is really good and I will definitely be back. Not only is it good, they give you a lot and the price is not too outrageous. Highly recommend.

The burger bowl itself has very limited sauce options, which made it dry and lacking flavor. We also ordered a burger with tots and an order of fries. While waiting, I grabbed a Dr Pepper from the soda fountain and it was clearly out of syrup. Nothing like paying for a drink that tastes like watered-down carbonated disappointment. The biggest issue was the service. We waited and waited for our food, but our number was never called. Meanwhile, we watched multiple customers who ordered after us receive their food. When we finally went to the counter to ask about our order, we were told that someone else had picked it up. Sorry, but I don't buy that explanation. Our number was never called, and this location is small with only a handful of people dining inside. We absolutely would have noticed if someone had walked off with our order--and so should the staff. It felt more like our order was forgotten or skipped altogether. After bringing it to their attention, they finally made and brought out our food. Unfortunately, the food wasn't worth the wait. The quality was noticeably below other Freddy's locations I've visited, and everything just felt underwhelming. Between the dry burger bowl, bad soda, long wait, and poor handling of our order, this visit missed the mark.

There really wasn't anything wrong with the pot pie, it just didn't taste as good as I had hoped, so I didn't eat much of it.

She was apologetic and said I should of told her sooner and she would of brought something else for me. I said, it really wasn't a big deal, that I'm sure other people enjoy the chicken pot pie. Next thing I know, the manager Clark comes over and tells me he wants to take the pot pie off my bill. I told him that it wasn't necessary, that I did eat some of it and I should pay for it. He insisted to take the pot pie off my bill. Said he wanted his customers to be happy. He then asked if my friend and I wanted to share a dessert and showed us the options. We chose the S'mores brownie. We didn't want a full size, so he offered a smaller option. The dessert came and it was very large to be a small serving. And let me tell you, it was absolutely beyond delicious! My friend and I were so impressed with the generosity of Clark the manager and how he went above and beyond to make sure I was happy.
