    Sample of the plantspired steak! So yummy!
    Stephanie V.

    Giving my local Waba Grill location 5 stars! The food is always great and the service is excellent! Christina is amazing at customer service, and even let me try a sample of the plantspired steak which was delicious! Thanks Christina and Waba Grill!

    shrimp veggie bowl with white rice and WaBa sauce ($13.90) 5/19/20
    Jenni M.

    My personal experience recognizes Waba Grill for bland food. It'd been a few years since I'd tried them, so I thought a COVID-19 quarantine delivery on 5/19/20 was in order. Through Postmates I got $.99 delivery. Not bad. The order went through at 5:39PM and was at our doorstep at 6:04. Again, not bad. The food overall, though, while fresh and certainly healthy just isn't all that satisfying even with garlic Serrano sauce, WaBa sauce, soy sauce, Sriracha... geeze. One daughter wanted the chicken veggie bowl with white rice and no sauce ($10.19). She ended up wanting "some kind of sauce." The other girl wanted the shrimp veggie bowl with white rice and WaBa sauce ($13.90). This girl didn't like the WaBa sauce. I couldn't win for trying. Two fails in a row. My salmon veggie bowl with brown rice and garlic Serrano sauce ($13.09) was A-okay. Bland. Not a very large portion. The most disappointing item was the side cucumber edamame kimchi ($2.25). Why so sweet? If your tastebuds aren't on a bland diet, then pass.

    That's all there was inside steak bowl.

    They gave me only part of my bowl. Ridiculous small portion - I have never experienced this before in any other Waba. Will not return.

    Picked dinner up from here last night and had an awful experience. We had three bowls which totaled $34. They had a promotion for free dumplings if you spend $20 or more and we spent well above that. They would not honor it. They insisted that the promotion was over when it clearly states april 23-April 24. Aside from that the food was cold and the steak bowl was super salty. Dont recommend this location as they don't honor their own promotion and the quality of the food is not all there.

    WOOOOHOOOOO a wonderful experience!…read more Alright firstly is the food great, yes! It's a fast-food drive-in burger joint okay so let's talk about it. When I walked last night 15 minutes before close, no one was trying to rush me out and still asked if I wanted to eat there. This was delightful because usually people are completely poops about it. I wish I knew the young man's name who was the cashier he was so kind, outgoing, and just overall super bubbly and friendly. My had a small baby and I went in first to order and then went outside to trade with my husband so he could use the restroom as we waited for our to-go order. Without me sharing any thoughts with my husband the first thing he said when he got back is how supremely friendly the young man was and how he swears his attitude was contagious because he came out with a smile on his face. The food itself as mentioned was great. We took advantage on the specials for the double cheeseburger and the chicken sandwich. I know people will debate it, but I enjoyed the well seasoned and tasty breaded sandwich much more than In-n-out. The chicken sandwich tasted so high-quaity in comparasion to most fast food sandwiches I've ever had and priced so affordably. The entire resturant and the restroom were impicaly clean, the defintion of "sparkling clean". This location really has it together and the chose the right person to be in the front dealing with their customers. Truly a wonderful experience!

    Well need a lil dinner so our best friend and God mom of my daughter and my wife decided to dine…read moretonight. Well wasn't disappointed with 2 double cheese burgers made to order. Tasty and good as always, but the Chicken club sandwich was a disappointment. 2 pieces of chicken barely fit the bun with bacon. My wife doesn't squavel like I do. My first job was in food. But she said it was still good. If it's going to be the strips used for the Chicken club make them a bit larger at least sticking out the sandwich. Otherwise.... Place is clean and busy as always and counter staff as friendly and helpful as always Thank you for dinner

I didn't really need to as I ate this whole thing in one go. I was the one who wanted to try out this spot due to the pictures of the food. Inside, it makes me feel like it was one of those homes that got renovated a little to be a restaurant. I got the BBQ R plate as it was advertised on the front door as we walked in,. The menu needs to be updated correctly to how they charge us because you can't see how much they charge you until after you pay and get the receipt. I think the guy needs to fix his wording too with asking for add-ons because he doesn't mention at all if they cost extra so BEWARE for avocado. We had to wait for about 15 minutes. Place could be cleaned more and the drive-thru process they have seem to be homemade also. Overall not bad for a good and filling lunch!!!

The portion sizes are ginormous and you cannot leave hungry from here and sometimes will have leftovers even if you only order a single item. I wish they had a bigger seating area. Also the ice-cream (pre packaged, not store made) selection is weird but not wonderful. I guess those are an acquired taste. If they open a location in South OC, I will go at least once a week if not more.

    Fatima's grill was awesome…read more Don't be fooled this is a Lebanese / Mexican fusion, extremely unique. They have lots of options, treats and drinks throughout the store. My friends and I ordered the shawarma fries, Cali burrito, and the garlic shrimp fries. All of these were very good but I highly recommend the Cali burrito. Very common dish but Fatima's grill knocks it out of the park somehow. Idk how but he did. The shawarma fries also packs a lot of flavor and highly recommend. The GS fries were good but wish I got a little more shrimp. This place is not the cheapest but definitely get your money's worth in quantity and quality.

I accidentally left my debit card at home and didn't realize it until I was already at the window. Instead of turning me away, the staff handled the situation with incredible kindness and professionalism. Serenity helped me at the register, Alex stepped in to help resolve the situation, and Gail handed me my order with a smile. They treated me with patience, respect, and genuine kindness. I also want to recognize the entire store team. As someone who has worked in retail, I know service like that doesn't happen unless the whole crew supports each other. The teamwork and positive attitude from everyone there really showed. It might seem like a small moment, but it meant a lot to me. Your team turned what could have been an embarrassing situation into a reminder that kindness still exists in everyday places. Please recognize this team for their professionalism and kindness--they represented your company incredibly well.

But knowing what it used to be... and knowing that this will be one of my last chances to eat there for awhile (we're moving to Europe next month) makes it a little harder. First the bad: the Rio is my usual favorite. Tonight, my burger was so overcooked and just dry as the Sahara. The wings had odd places where I had to spit out the dry, overcooked bits. Overall, the wings were great - sweet Thai chile - but what were these weird dry spots? And really, shredded lettuce is terrible. Put a nice leaf of lettuce, or don't put any on there at all. Now the good: the meat is very good quality, and has good, beefy flavor. The wings that didn't have the weird crusty dry spots were very well cooked, succulent, and that sweet That chile sauce is so money. The staff is very nice, polite, and organized. The prices are in line with what you'd expect to pay for a better quality burger. And you can let them know if you want customization - or you can just go with Grub style (their sauce) or backyard style (mustard and ketchup). Overall, Grub is a pretty reliable meal spot, better than average by quite a distance. But please - don't smash the smash burgers so hard and so many times! It leaves all the juiciness in the griddle. I'm hoping that I'll be back one day and it'll still be there, making epic burgers and wings!
