Love looking forward to WaBa, spending 14 bucks, driving home only to see my order was wrong. Ordered a WaBa bowl which has no steak and only chicken. The chicken was good, rice was dry and not getting my steak was obnoxious otherwise I would've just made chicken at home.

I don't usually eat here but I wanted something healthy, quick and fresh and this was the nearest thing that offered that. I ordered their chicken bowl and saw signs for their Boom Boom tacos and tried the steak one. I could not believe how good the steak taco was! If the Hawaiian food restaurants they would add this to their menu. The steak taco was thin pieces of meat marinated in teriyaki sauce and placed in a thin tortilla with cabbage, green onion and spicy mayo. It's literally the best tasting thing there. I ordered the taco trio the next day. I don't care for rice, so this is a great compromise and you won't get full from the rice but you will be full if you get the taco trio. It's one of those hold menu items that will hold you over. I've yet to try the shrimp and chicken tacos but I'm good with the steak tacos.

Before they used to put enough to fill one person smh.

I went in for two chicken bowl. Bowl have little to no chicken. Went a couple months ago and it was good. Idk if they running out of chicken but this is crazy

$15.82 if you ask for veggies need to pay $3.00 dlls more .

I went to waba about a month ago and I ordered a Bowl with two meats and vegetables included the price of the bowl was $15.82 than I went back July 1 and purchased the same Bowl but this time the cashier charged me extra for the vegetables I ask her why she charging me more and she told me I have to pay extra I refuse to pay extra because I never paid extra before and my plates have s little meats comparing to the other times i been there again.

Hair in the rice :(

This review is strictly based on their Tacos (New Menu Item). I mean, I can't complain! They were much to my surprise good! I ordered a shrimp, steak, and chicken taco. My favorite was the shrimp. From the cook of the shrimp, tortilla, and toppings (cabbage), the texture of this taco was all on point. Definitely my fave. I also enjoyed the chicken taco. Same type of review with regards to texture as the shrimp. The steak taco was a little too sweet for my liking. It reminded me of a Korean style taco I once had. Not bad at all, just not my favorite. All three tacos are a little on the sweet side but have good flavors. What you see is what you get. If you've had a steak or chicken bowl, you'll be getting the same flavors but in a tortilla with texture and creamy sauce. I see you Waba Grill! I'm not mad at these tacos! Ambience was average like every Waba I've ever visited. The Cashier was friendly and helpful. I would recommend these tacos for sure. They will cost you about $2 each.

I like this place. I would definitely go again. Inside this location is pretty small, not much ventilation for a hot May day, but for the most part there is ample seating for friends. If you plan on bring your baby, like my friend did, you may want to consider where you would place the car seat. The location is located on the busy corner of Grand and Seventeenth street, behind Denny's, next to Game Stop, across the street from Big O' Tires. That should be enough description to NOT get you lost. As far as the food goes, it's quick and delicious. Although I didn't pay for this meal, it did cost my other friend about $20 for two of the same meal - Chicken-steak plate - a combo of beef, chicken, and drink. The combo had a small side salad, diced chicken, diced beef, topped over a bed of rice which, impressively, you have the option of white or brown rice. This huge meal is served in a take-out container so it even seems that this location knows the amount of food they serve their customers. This franchise brags of freshness, no skin on their meat, no frying, no trans fat, and no msg, so you're just going to have to trust the flavor. You options too. Onions? Yes, please. Overall, a great place for a quick eat in this busy area of town. I'd eat here rather than the other locations near by: Denny's, Hometown, McDonalds, KFC, and other junky places...though there is a Subway, but Waba Grill is a good alternative for a hot meal. I recommend bringing great company. It makes for completing your meal as you keep updated with friends.

Love the steak bowl and their teriyaki sauce. But what really does it for me is the jalapeños available for you to top off your food with.

Exceptional burgers and fries. Holy Shiitake, That's a Vegan Burger?!…read more If you had blindfolded me and handed me a tray from this place, I would've been checking Yelp afterward to make sure it was actually vegan. That's how convincing and delicious everything is. I'm always hunting down cruelty-free comfort food and this spot is one of my absolute favorite burger joints. The fact that everything on the menu is 100% vegan makes my animal-loving heart ridiculously happy. The Chicken Sandwiches are my husband's favorite. Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The texture is so spot-on that it could fool even skeptical meat-eaters. The breading had a satisfying crunch, and every bite delivered that classic comfort-food goodness. My go-to is the BBQ Burger! It's sooooo yummy! It's smoky, saucy, and is messy in all the right ways. The sweet-and-savory BBQ flavor paired perfectly with the hearty plant-based patty. The service was friendly and efficient. Price point wise it is kind of pricey. I would pay that price any day though! It's great food. A cruelty-free burger paradise that satisfies every comfort-food craving. Come hungry, order the animal-style everything, and thank me later. lol

This restaurant has constantly disappointed me. I go on a weekly basis and the last 3-4 order…read moreexperiences have been terrible. One week you did not have the Breakfast burrito, and no one in the store seemed to know why. My latest experience was June 14 at the drive through. I placed my order got to the drive though and no one responded on the speaker, I finally drove forward & called for about 2-3 more minutes before the cashier came to the window. I told him my order, he stepped away for a few minutes and said " our chef just left and its not made"?? Huh? The guy at the window was very nice and he offered to make my order for me, but of course that took an additional 15 minutes. IN the meantime, 2 vehicles drove up and no one ever spoke to them. This store is SOOOO badly managed is unbelievable! Constant problems, unprofessional service. The food is good but I am just about done with supporting such a badly run establishment. Someone need to revamp this entire store, it looks almost abandoned and the service just sucks!

Just see that there is a difference lol but the mcdouble for under $3 is a lifesaver. The app is really good because you can accumulate a lot of points and the rewards are often times immediate but this place had a nice big lobby.

I think the roundabout around the drive through exit may have confused drivers who entered through the exit to then turn into drive through entrance. I am happy to say when I went, both lanes for ordering were quick to welcome and take my mobile order. They were really quick with other orders but since I had two meals and drinks I did have to wait near the curbside pick up. The staff brought everything within a minute and this one staff was super nice, she asked if I had everything before running off. They were probably busy, I noticed after ordering the two lanes got full pretty quick and curbside had cars waiting. I ate in the car, the fries were slightly undercooked (not crispy and limped) but still hot, but the McNuggets were crispy and hot. The drinks were filled just right, the iced coffee lid was a coffee lid instead of fountain drink lid so I'm not used to drinking it from a straw. Overall, good visit. Nothing too bad after the second time.
