    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

    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.

    This place is always fast and the employees are friendly especially Cristina C! She is super helpful and on point all the time!

    Skimpy bowls dont come here

The atmosphere was perfect--good music, entertainment on the TV, and the A/C was at a comfortable temperature (not too cold, which we appreciated). The vanilla smoothie this time and it was delicious. ​I didn't catch her name, but I want to give a huge thank you to the girl at the front register; she was very kind and welcoming. We left around 4:40 PM, and another team member even held the door open for us on our way out. It's those small gestures that make a big difference. Overall, a wonderful experience--today was a standout!

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....

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. Thank you Serenity, Alex, Gail, and the entire Downey team for the excellent service.

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!
