I've tried their signature The Melrose, which consists of black forest ham, oven roasted turkey, bacon, melted White American cheese, topped with house slaw (lettuce, red onions, pepperoncini tossed in their "Melrose" spread) and tomato. I absolutely love this sandwich!! It's packed with so much flavor, and the bun absorbs all of the juicy goodness, making every bite incredibly satisfying. Runner-up for me is the Uncle Nikki. This one has Genoa salami, pepperoni, capicola, provolone cheese, also topped with their house slaw. I've only ordered from here through Postmates, and every time their packaging is excellent--they wrap each sandwich in this cute wrapper, which adds a fun touch and keeps everything neatly intact and fresh by the time it arrives. Each sandwich is around $12 (as of June 2026), and I honestly think it's worth the price because these sandwiches are huge and so good!!

Habit Burger & Grill

Right up front: Our family has been and continues to be big fans of the Habit. We love the food…read more Over the years we've had good customer service here and at other locations. Today was different and I'm writing in hopes that maybe our experience will be heard and help avoid situations like this in the future. At 5pm today I used the app to place an order and selected the drop down option of pick up at 6:30pm since that was the earliest I could get there. At 5:53 I received a text telling me my food was ready to pick up. Which meant that the hot burger would sit for almost 40 minutes and the salad with hot ahi tuna would sit and get the salad warm for 40 minutes until I arrived. I called the phone number listed for the store and was stuck in a web of AI answering. Everything I asked to speak to someone I was told by AI that I could leave a message or go to the website. I kept insisting to speak to someone and after the fifth time it finally put me through to someone in person. Not at the store. Apparently there is no direct line to the store anymore. The best the person could tell me was to go at 6:30 and ask them to remake it while I wait longer. I hurried to get there by about 6:15 and asked to speak to the manager. I tried to explain as politely as possible, but my concern was brushed aside with a dismissive, "We'll remake it for you. Hold on." In lieu of any sort of apology or owning of the problem, he said (direct quote), "Well, another lady just before you had the opposite problem." I have no idea what that meant or how it was an answer to my situation. He also told me, "The order came through and we just made it." When I asked if that was normal when you order through the app and specify a time, he reluctantly acknowledged it wasn't supposed to happen that way. So as I waited, he came over and asked, "What dressing do you want? It says no dressing." I double checked my order on the app and it clearly said "Ranch dressing: no change." So I'm not sure what made him think I hadn't ordered dressing. When I opened the order to check, the ahi tuna that was supposed to be seared was cooked well done all the way through and dry like chicken, but by that time I had just gotten home. We will still keep eating at the Habit. We really like it. My hope is that the manager would hear our experience and consider a different approach to hearing regular customers who offer a legitimate concern and constructive feedback. Additionally: when we opened what was supposed to be a bbq bacon char it was a single char with no bacon or cheese or bbq sauce.

The second one waited a few minutes and then the guy behind the counter said "You need to order through the kiosk, ma'am." She left. Cash paying customers are apparently not welcome. Now you know.

I have been a loyal WaBa Grill customer for years. Five days a week, I and many other members from Crunch Fitness--located only about a mile away--have been coming to this location. We love the staff and have always enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, the recent corporate changes are pushing many of us away. The chicken plate was our go-to meal. Many of us are bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts, so getting a specific amount of calories and protein is important to us. The chicken plate provided the portion size we needed at a reasonable price, and we were also able to choose sides without paying additional charges. Now the chicken plate has been removed and replaced with something called a "Bigger Bowl." We're expected to pay an additional $2 for the larger bowl, yet it still doesn't appear to provide the same amount of chicken we previously received with the plate. On top of that, the sides that were previously included now cost extra. To get a meal comparable to what we were ordering before, we now have to spend roughly $5 more for the comparable meal, plus another $2 for the larger bowl--and even then, we're not getting the same value or portion we received before. From a customer's perspective, this feels like a price-gouging move designed to increase profits while providing less value. I calculated what these changes mean based on how frequently I eat here, and getting approximately the same meal I previously ordered will cost me about $680 more per year. And I'm not the only customer who is upset. I already know of approximately nine people from our gym who have started going to another WaBa Grill location farther away and haven't adopted this new pricing menu and because of these changes. If all WaBa Grill locations adopt the same pricing and menu changes, many of us will simply stop going altogether. This is especially disappointing because you had a loyal group of customers coming in as often as five days a week. Instead of rewarding that loyalty, these changes make us feel as though we're being asked to pay substantially more while receiving less. There are other restaurants that offer comparable high-protein meals at significantly better prices. Customers do have choices, and eventually these kinds of decisions will drive loyal customers to those alternatives. I strongly urge WaBa Grill corporate management to reconsider the chicken plate, and stop charging customers extra and to get what they were receiving before. You had a product that worked, a price customers accepted, and a loyal customer base. Please don't lose those customers by trying to squeeze more money out of them while giving them less in return. read more

Stopped by WaBa Grill for lunch and wasn't quite hungry enough for a full plate, so I decided to try the tacos instead. They were absolutely delicious--a perfect fusion of East and West flavors. The beef was sweet and savory, complemented by a tangy, creamy salsa and topped with fresh herbs and crisp vegetables that added freshness to every bite. I also ordered the Loaded Miso Soup with chicken, and it was everything I was craving. Rich, hearty, and comforting, it felt like a warm hug in a bowl. The chicken made it even more satisfying, turning a simple soup into a filling and flavorful meal. To top it all off, the service was fast and efficient, and the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. Great food, great service, and a great experience overall. WaBa Grill continues to prove that even a quick lunch can be memorable. Highly recommend! read more

This Waba Grill is the best in the AREA!! hands down! I didn't know it was here so I had been going to the one on Carmenita, but no more! The staff is super friendly, they take your order fast and the ask every question about your bowl to make sure you get what you want. The ask if you want the one with veggies and they offer avocado to you :) I've been going to the one in Carmenita for about a year and never knew they even had avocado! Next time I'll take a picture, they even make it look like how the guy described it " a pretty flower on top of your bowl" This will definitely be my go to Waba Grill from now on! :) read more

Came here yesterday morning after my co workers recommended it, I came at the lunch rush apparently but I was amazed at how fast my order came out, what surprised me more tho was how fast all the employees were working, I probably waited maybe 2 minutes after I ordered, which is never normal at a fast food joint. The food was also very tasty, I got the half and half with veggies. I don't usually like eating red meats at fast food places because they are always dry, but I'll definitely be getting it here. read more

I did not expect the food to be this fresh & tasty. Service was great too! I was not sure what to order and a sweet, friendly young lady taking my order, Angeline, recommended the Salmon bowl with avocado. Although I am not a fan of avocado, I gave it a try and now it is my favorite dish at Waba Grill. (I always add the avocado too!) Waba Grill is my new choice for healthy meals. Its nice to have a healthy as well as tasty option with of variety of choices. I look forward to trying the salads. read more
