    This location is super convenient to the liberty bell and independence hall. The food here was alright, came here on a Friday morning, it was a little crowded, the staff isn't friendly. Ordering here is easy, but they don't give very good instructions for someone who isn't used to Wawa. The store is clean, bathrooms were just serviced.

    Turkey Gobbler with Mashed Potatoes
    Vinson G.

    This location, located across from the Liberty Bell, is the biggest Wawa in the world! If you are a Wawa-lover, definitely make your way to this one. There is ample seating and plenty of snacks/drinks available for purchase. The tables were clean and the store was well-maintained. The hot food ordering station has many kiosks, which ensures that there is almost never a wait to order. The food comes out hot and relatively fast. I came on Thanksgiving day to get a turkey gobbler hoagie for lunch, and the workers were nice and courteous. The Turkey Gobbler with Mashed Potatoes was surprisingly decent at this location. As one of the few, if not only, places to get a gobbler on Thanksgiving day, it helps hold off that craving. The turkey was moist and tender, with plenty of gravy to not let it be dry. The bread was soft and pillowy, with a slight chew. The gravy, however, did not have much flavor and almost tastes like school-cafeteria quality. The mashed potato was the same, but it did has cheese mixed in that created a nice cheese-pull stretchy bite. I also got the Roasted Chicken Fajita Quesadilla. It came out hot and fresh. The tortilla was crunch and slightly chewy in a good way. The vegetables added a "fresh" element to the quesadilla. Chicken was soft, moist, and well-seasoned. Overall, for this being a convenience store and being open on Thanksgiving day, I am quite satisfied from my visit.

    I loved how big and spacious this Wawa is. Other locations are very small and constricting when you go during rush hour. However, this location has enough space for everyone and a large variety of options. You can go inside and place your order on the kiosk for pickup. I love the different items available at Wawa. You can try everything there and not get bored of it. The best thing is that everything is at an affordable price. This location was a life saver during our trip to Philly. We were able to stop in and pick up items as we needed. Some snacks during the day or ice cream on a hot summer day. Everything was available here. I saw the Hello Panda cookies which came in chocolate and strawberry. I didn't see these in any of the other Wawa locations. This was an interesting treat. This Wawa is now my favorite location in Philly.

    When in Philly, you always have to go to a Wawa. This one is right across the street from independence Hall and the liberty Bell so it's a good place to get a cup of coffee a tasty cake and get ready for a fun day.

    Normally the only time I can go to a Wawa is if I'm doing my annual trip to the Jersey Shore but when in Philly, you go to the OG location! I needed to see it in person, obviously. The coffee is always perfection and you can't go wrong with a hoagie! Definitely stop by if you need a caffeine boost (or snacks) on your way to the Liberty Bell.

    Wawa is all over the Eastern side of the country. Similar to a 7E. They have snacks like chips, baked goods, drinks, also have self checkout. I have seen this brand in DC, NY, and Philly. Recommend

    How is this 10 dollars

    $10 for three scoops of slop, 0 effort always the staff looks suicidal and I'd even be surprised if they all had gloves on. Never again :,,( terrible attitude across the board

    Great place to grab something quick or a salad. These days, I only eat the salad. Nicole behind the counter in the food prep area is the best and will take care of you. Five stars all around for Wawa @ Independence Mall East

    I'm not going to over load you with wow oh wow so I'll just say it once WOW. Something new buy first can we talk about this BIG WAWA I have never seem a Wawa of this size no where. It have a seating area art work on the walls the coffee station was nice & clean it really felt like we was somewhere else. The people was nice a accommodating I had ordered the CHIPS AHOY chocolate chocolate chip frozen cappuccino. You also can get it like a milkshake with whip cream with a dizzy of chocolate or carmal. It was my second time ordering this and eveytime I never disappointed it's so good. It's creamy it tastes like have you ever had chocolate chip cookies and your crush them up into a cold glass of milk that's what it tastes like. And you can't go wrong with that I highly recommend

    It's ginormous. Seriously. This is the biggest Wawa by far that I've ever been in. Perhaps it's the two story ceiling - done clearly to accommodate the beautiful arched windows in the historic building this Wawa is in. Or the expansive space to walk around in - despite having tables for people to 'dine in' with. Overall the impression though is of an expansive, accommodating space. I love that they accommodated the history of the building rather than converting it to look like every other Wawa on the planet. The new Wawa on 6 & Chestnut is in a prime location, right across the street from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. I walked a few short blocks there on a lovely spring day after attending some nearby training. As it was lunchtime it was crowded, however I used my handy-dandy Wawa app in advance to order. No matter, there were tons of kiosks. "Wander" and "Wawa" sound alike but you don't usually get to wander around a Wawa - they're usually more compact. This one, though, you can wander. They even had Wawa "gear" for sale in some cubby. The people working there were insanely nice, shout out to Maurice at the checkout register who helped me both pay for my pre-order, adding a 32 ounce drink because I could not figure out how to do it, but also cheerfully conversed with me about the new place, the new Sprite variety (terrible name, addictive flavor) and life in general. As with every other Wawa, my sandwich was predictably good, they are very consistent about their food. It doesn't make it the best sandwich or hoagie in the world. I can always count on the fact that it's a consistency good sandwich that tastes, well, the same. Fresh, well made, and yummy.

    Pretty large Wawa, but what it carries is about the same as your usual Wawa. The extra space is mostly good for capturing the morning rush.

The chicken sandwich was crispy and tender although I would have liked more sauce on the sandwich to balance out the bun. The crinkle cut fries had plenty of Parmesan on top and a side of a garlic aioli sauce that was delicious. The shake was thick and with large chucks of nuts. I ended up just using a spoon!

So when my wife said she wanted a little something while we wandered through a heatwave in Philadelphia, I thought this would be a safe harbor. It was not. We ordered cheese fries and a banana pudding milkshake. The fries arrived looking as if they had been cooked last Tuesday and kept under a damp towel since. The cheese was cold and had formed a sort of yellow skin. It reminded me of school cafeteria food, but with better marketing. The shake was okay. The banana flavor was nice enough. But the Vanilla Wafer Cookie Crumble inside was too ambitious for a straw. Every third sip turned into a game of suction-based roulette. You could pay fifty cents extra for rainbow sprinkles to support GLAAD. That was a good idea I could get behind. The execution, like the fries, was half-hearted. It felt more like an upsell than a cause. The worst part was the store itself. We had planned to sit inside for a few minutes. Restore our core temperatures to something in the double-digits. Regain a little hope. But the tables looked like they had not been cleaned since lunchtime and the floor was trying to become one with the food. We took our sad little snack and walked back to the hotel. Two stars. One for the idea of Shake Shack. One for the milkshake trying its best. That is all.

    I had a hankering for chicken and waffles today and I could've gone to a number of restaurants in…read morethe area for this, but today I decided to try my one go-to place for the best chicken sandwiches in town: Hangry Joe's. I've seen the chicken and waffles on their menu many times and was always hesitant on ordering it only because I didn't want to feel disappointment and possible regret for not ordering one of their well-known, delicious options of chicken sandwich (the Sando) or chicken fingers. I don't know why I was so afraid to order it other than thinking the waffle wouldn't be that good, but I was so very wrong. Their chicken and waffles are great! Let's start with the chicken... fried to perfection and slightly lathered in your choice of mild to spicy sauce, these chicken tenders are simply amazing... and huge. Bite into a chicken tender and juices shoot out of it. That's how juicy they are. The waffle (divided into quarters) was so good. Lightly crisped and dusted with powdered sugar on the outside and a beautiful soft texture inside, this is a great waffle. You get syrup for the waffle and your choice of sauce for the chicken. All for $12.95. So good! Other options include a Korean chicken nugget combo that includes steamed white rice and fries, chicken wraps, and wings. Service is pretty quick. I ordered to go ("ASAP - 10 mins") and the order was ready in 14, but please don't fault them for this. Once you taste the chicken, you will forgive them for any tardiness.

    I finally tried Hangry Joe's on 20th St and now I'm wishing I hadn't waited so long. I was looking…read morefor something quick to eat for a quick lunch the other day and when I passed by, I decided to go in and give it a try. The colorful, cartoonish decor of the restaurant's interior put me off a little at first. The brightly colored, chicken-themed cartoons on the walls seemed to me like it was geared for kids. It is most certainly not. Hangry Joe's is made for chicken lovers. The choices on the menu were all tempting. Every dish on the menu features chicken as a comfort food, and I am all about it. I ordered the Chicken Sando, which was both huge and delicious. My pal got the chicken wings, which he said were the best he ever ate. (He specifically raved about the dipping sauce.) Now I want wings! There are five levels of heat for your chicken, from mild to smokin hot, and so everybody, even those afraid of heat, will find something to their liking on the menu. The service was good, and though the prices are a bit on the high side for fast food (we paid about $30 for two meals.), the amazing chicken and accompanying flavors make a trip here well worth it. In fact, in the two days since I tried Hangry's, three friends from NY who had tried it during their stay here over the weekend made an stop there before heading home to bring home some more of that chicken. Now that's good chicken!

We chose this because the menu had a nice mix of southern and American favorites that they weren't accustomed to. You should've seen two northern boys trying to describe grits to a Swede. Our waitress was awesome. She was great at explaining things and talking about each dish. Of course there were questions. Some things probably got lost in translation but everyone was happy with their choices. I also feel like servers are always put in an awkward position when you ask them to help you choose. Food is like art. It's so subjective. So for starters we got the fried greet tomatoes and the Burrata. Burrata was not ideal for sharing with people you do not know. It was one large piece of toast. So she actually took it back and someone cut it into 4 sections for us. The fried green tomatoes were awesome. It had a nice tangy sauce with sweeter pickles that came along side. My colleague got the open faced chicken sandwich which was an enormous amount of food. It was two fat chicken pieces on two thick slices of toast. I got the salmon sticky rice bowl with a side of the charred broccoli. Both were so delicious. The salmon had some broccoli in it too. So I really over did it. The charred broccoli side had crusted Parmesan in it and a creamy sauce. Both dishes were just knock outs. Almost forgot I got the love latte too. That was really good. I got it with oat milk. So I highly recommend this place. Great for a business lunch too. Easy to hear one another. Music wasn't too loud. Oh they were very gracious with us.
