WaBa Grill

I stopped by this Arby to grab lunch on my way home since I was already in the area. I never been…read moreto an Arby before so this was my first experience. I found parking easily since I came before the lunch rush. When I walked inside, the lady working the counter took my order right away. I got the turkey ranch and bacon sandwich. I also asked for small fries to complete my order. She asked what sauces would I like so I asked for ranch and ketchup which they don't charge extra for. My food didn't take long to make and before I left, I rang the bell to acknowledge the great service I received. The turkey sandwich was good and their fries were crispy along with being delicious. I had a good lunch from here and it hit the spot.

Granted it'a Arby's…read more - Meal was made fresh. I even placed a mobile order about 10 minutes away. By the time I got there, my order was still being made. But that's ok, because I will take freshly prepared fast food over not assembled. What's nice is that as soon as I came-in, the staff greeted me & reassured me that my order was being made as I gave them my mobile order #. In fact, they told me to take a seat & they would happily deliver my entire order to my table. High marks for hotter than luke warm food, but not burn-your-mouth-hot. Like "perfect" hot. FOOD: Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich- 8.8 / 10 A decent amount thinly sliced corned beef, topped with just-the-right-amount of crisp, sour sauerkraut, with a tangy Russian-style dressing in between 2 pieces of nicely toasted rye-bread. A text book definition of a conned beef reuben sandwich. Half-Pound Roast Beef - 8.5 / 10 I grew-up on Arby's roast beef. It's so evident that the "regular size" is basically a snack. So this half-pound actually feels substantial. It's feel just a bit more than what the regular roast beef was in the days of yore. The amount of roast beef that you get here is commendable. I'm glad that it is an offered option. Potato Cakes - 9.0 / 10 I won't lie, I "broke-up" with Arby's when they took this classic side off their menu. In my opinion, this is their best side. No one else offers this. Think a McDonald's hash brown but thick. Like at least 3x the thickness. Crisp on the outside, hot, fluffy, inside. It's like a gigantic tater tot & I am beyond ecstatic that they brought this back. Please Arby's, do NOT ever take your potato cakes off the menu ever again. Jalapeño Bites - 8.9 / 10 A lot of people hold Jack-in-the-Box's Stuffed Jalapeños as the "Gold Standard" of the cheese-filled capsicum. I would offer that Arby's makes competitive stuffed jalapeño. Crispy breaded on the outside, tender pepper stuffed with melty cream cheese. The kicker here is the Bronco Berry sauce. There's nothing like it & no other establishment offers anything close to it. Who knew that sweet (berry) matched perfectly with the spice + dairy? I was pleasantly surprised how busy this place was on a cool, Sunday evening. Props to the friendly staff. I wouldn't hesitate to visit this location in the nearby future. Also, high, high marks for not having an open drink station & sauce station. If the corporate is reading this, please do not ever hide these behind the counter.

Easily a 5/5 for me! Generous portions served overall. I sat outside the patio and it was a nice ambiance. They offer "to-go" trays so you can take your left overs home. I also enjoyed their water station; the water was infused with mint, so refreshing! Overall, I had a pleasant experience and look forward to coming back soon.

We saw that Corner Grille had some good reviews and was close by the exit so we gave it try. The spot is in a sort of run down strip mall with not too much parking but we were able to luckily snag a spot even during rush hour. The inside is like any other local burger/takeout spot we might have grown up around, with the classic LED menu, signs showing off their specials and local awards (somehow getting awards for top burger, taco, and fried chicken spots - pretty diverse range of offerings), and slightly greasy diner/picnic decorated tables. We were here specifically for the kalbi burger which we had read quite a bit about as well as some seasoned fries to share. It came out relatively quickly (there was only one other guest at that time) and it was piping hot. The fries were great; similar to checkers/rallys and nice and crispy. The burger was nicely toasted with korean bbq meat inside (it was more like bulgogi than kalbi so a bit of a letdown there) with a mayo type slaw. It was hearty and greasy in all the best ways, a bit on the sweeter side for a kbbq glaze, but eating just half already filled me up. Just as we were about to leave, we did notice that the owner walked in and we remembered that since it was still in the time slot advertised, we could ask for some ice cream if we dined in. He graciously went to the back and shortly after came back with some strawberry ice cream scoops. It was a good contrast to the fatty/salty meal we just had (and did suspiciosuly taste like Thrifty's ice cream). Overall we had a good experience at this nice establishment that seems to embody the LA spirit of humble fusion cuisine that folks should definitely stop by at whenever y'all are around.

Service was quick and easy: order at the counter, fast-food style, no waiting on a server. Straightforward and efficient. I got the breakfast burrito -- just egg and cheese, kept it simple -- and it hit the spot. Nothing fancy, but satisfying and exactly what I wanted for a quick bite. The one pancake, on the other hand, was a bit of a letdown. It came out a little dry and had an odd aftertaste I couldn't quite place. You probably should get their pastrami sandwich/burger and the onion rings, so I'll be back to try those next time when I feel like having a pastrami sandwich. Solid neighborhood spot with real history behind it. Worth a visit for their pastrami or burgers, just maybe skip the pancakes.

Yesterday was the second time I came to WaBa. The first time was just because I was in the area and it seemed pretty cool because of the outside photos and the food was advertised as Low Carb. Now, I will be eating at Waba's as often as possible. The food is really fresh and delicious. What's really neat is that you have a choice of either brown or white rice. Also, the posted menu is easy to read. I encourage folks to try it like I did... you won't regret it. read more

My wife and I ate salmon bowl and chicken and steak plate. Salmon was thick, juicy and well cooked. Taste was very good with flame taste. Chicken and beef were soft texture with delicious sauce. I love their flame taste of meat. I liked the fact that they offered brown rice which is healthy choice. Rice was well cooked and all the food very well hit the spot. Most of all, the healthy food under $10 was a lot of value to me. read more

Our only complaint was that we wish the strawberry sauce had actual strawberries in it, more like a jam or real fruit topping. Still tasted good though. Both desserts came out really fast and together were around $8, which felt reasonable for the size. Would definitely come back again. We might have to actually try a burger next time.

I was able to find parking near the front since I came in the evening time. When I checked in with one of the worker, he kept saying the wrong name which wasn't my order and then he said someone already took the order because he couldn't find it. I was 15 minutes early so how can someone take it already when my last name is unique. He went and got someone else to help me and he said it's not on the computer so the order might've gotten cancelled which I told him it wasn't. After refreshing the screen a couple of time, my order finally showed up closer to my pickup time so they had to make it. It didn't take long for them to make my food and I took it home to eat. The cheesesteak bread was already ripped or cut so instead of being two pieces, it was three so everything fell out after the first bite. You didn't get a lot of meat in it either. It was not good in my opinion. The fries were not seasoned well but I like the wings the best out of the combo. My drink was just a standard cola.
