I love there tacos and spicy chicken value bowl. The service is always good. The restaurant is always clean. Definitely going back

Very good food, the customer service is already quick to take your order. Very clean restaurant. Hard working staff.

I like their bowls. The steak ones my favorite. I'll give them 4 instead of 5 stars though, I wish they didnt use so much dang sauce. I'm sure its 5k in sodium (lol). Service is good, tables are clean. Always like it here. read more

So the owner or whatever this guy calls himself self finally calls me a month after my complaint to argue! I'm telling This nut the portion size he has his employees give is a joke! I've never had so lil meat and I've been to a few wabba grills! I'm thinking this fool is calling to be rational he calls to go back n forth with me about how much money it's cost him if he gave a certain amount of meat! Like really! So your worried about your cost but not the paying customer! He's asking me how much much do I want! Do I know about oz! All I know is when I went to other wabba grills they load you up!!! And you get full! And your moneys worth! If it wasn't for paying customers your location wouldn't not be up and running and you want to skimp ppl out of their food and money! To save a couple cent! I ended the convo and hung up! Don't call to me argue tf you seen my review I didn't have time to explain myself again. He's horrible! I hope I can reach someone else and let them know how he DIDN'T handled this situation. L read more

Food was colder than usual, Service was not the greatest, but they were really apologetic after realizing I was unsatisfied. I will give this place another shot since it's close to home. read more

The service at this place is horrible Waited for ever for our food the was given the wrong size drink after the it was told back to us when ordered then was told we weren't charged for the large and needed to pay more I a very rude anger the closed the window in my wife's face with an attitude after we paid the difference. A lesson in customer service is greatly needed here. Will never go back. I highly suggest Vicki's around the corner read more

I came into the store last night about 30 minutes before closing and I was not expecting the service to be great. But when Raphael took my order, he was kind and polite. The chicken bowl was great and I appreciated the great service considering how late it was! read more

The service and staff are amongst the best here! but the tall latino cook, with the thick mustache. Papi chulo!

Great Staff Great Food Great price. 5 stars for this place. Very consistent and clean restaurant.

Swung by this location for lunch for this first time at this location and it was pretty clean and fast. I didn't have to wait long for my order and they had good service. Parking is kind of rough at this location but other than that I would stop by here again if in the area. read more

This is the best WaBa Grill I have been to. The employees consistently go above and beyond to make sure our needs are met, and they are so kind. The food is always prepared perfectly. I love this place! read more

Very clean. Didn't take too much of my time. Attentive as soon as I walked in. No WiFi though so they lose a star for that.... yes, it's that serious. Foood was great. read more

Found a worm in my plate it was between two carrots that were stuck together told the cashier he said it was broccoli then he went to tell the guy in the back Armando and he said it wasn't and they both said it was a piece of broccoli or onion not a worm because supposedly them they wash their veggies and put them in water to steam them but I know that all they do is just take it from the bag they come in and dump them all in one big container and keep in fridge then when someone orders veggies they grab a little bunch and dip it in hot water for like 30sec to steam it and put it in your plate, since the worm was stuck in between the carrots it didn't go into the hot water, I even grabbed it to feel it and it felt like a worm and they did too and they said it wasn't a worm, because if it would've been part of the vegetable it would've came apart as I rubbed it in my fingers but I didn't it felt squishy like a worm, but they kept insisting it wasn't a worm!? It's clearly a worm look at the shape and color and body pattern! read more

Since is like dog food :-/ When he went back to cashier to return his plate. A guy gave him another bowl. Which as is for now the BEST chicken bowl always food. For me I won't eat the spicy pork again. read more

Waba Grills are a chain, so you basically know the food will be the same as other Wabas. It has been a couple years now, since their bowl size shrank, which took some getting used to, but here is the problem I had on November 19th, 2022: It was Saturday evening, about 5:45 pm, with a cold, biting wind picking up leaves and debris, then trying to blow those into everyone's eyes. It had been some time since I last visited the local Waba, but this particular evening seemed to call for it. As I approached the front, was pleased to see that they were still offering 2 chicken bowls for $13.99, on Saturday & Sunday. A fine price. I wanted chicken bowls with veggies, and suspected that would be a little more. The "newbie" behind the counter, rang my order, and the cost was $20.20. (Hind site is 20:20, so the old saying goes....). I was puzzled, but paid the price, assuming that the W.G. Chain must walk a hard-line, when it comes to the promotions. -(Chicken bowls only, or hit the road Mac!). As I walked away from the counter, feeling a bit let-down, I happened to look at my receipt, and noticed a "2 shrimp side" listed.... (What???) Well, I returned to the counter, because this was not my receipt, however, it turned out that my receipt was missing in action. The newbie clerk was just telling another clerk, a young lady with more experience, that he had just hit a wrong button for the order he was currently ringing. The more experienced clerk let me know my order # was 79. Funny thing happened moments later, when another customer, who had ordered before me, complained when the "newbie" called out an order, because she too had not received her receipt, so she did not know her order Number either. So, while I was waiting, and observing the fiasco of errors which was laid out before me, a feeling kept creeping into the back of my mind... "newbie" probably did not ring my order correctly. I did not bother to ask, I just took my food and left. (Forgot that I have to ask for brown rice, another letdown, I discovered later...when I finally got that lid off!). But later, even as I ate my food, I kept thinking, why the heck couldn't I get 2 chicken bowls for $13.99, then (Step 2, as their sign says) add veggies for $1 extra per bowl??? It seems easy enough: Step 1, give your customer the promotion, Step 2, add the extra dollar per bowl for veggies, Step 3 sauce! When so many things go wrong during one visit, it certainly reduces the likelihood of a return visit. Perhaps, if Waba Grill cannot get their "newbies" trained properly, then perhaps customers may be in actual jeopardy, and perhaps everyone would be better-off dining elsewhere! read more

Place is clean, well organized and set up. I get the waba bowl. I get the white rice not the brown but went ahead and tried the brown rice. Was not as appetizing as other brown rice I have tried. Was kind of like a crunchy rice. Maybe next time let it cook more. Other than that the food is good,fresh,made to order. read more

The salmon bowl is super yummy. Add avocado & brown rice & its a lil healthier version. The kids love the teriyaki chicken bowls. Nice that you can serve your own extra onions. read more

Veronica is an amazing cashier! She got my order right and my food was ready when I arrived.

Service was poor. People ordered & picked up their orders after me. All along my order was on the counter. So when finally the girl gave me my order I said "it's probably cold by now!" Girl apologized but didn't attempt to offer anything for her mistake. I'll never go back to that location. read more

Cleanest and nicest personnel compared to other waba grills in my area. Food is always cooked well and service is 10/10, i eat here everyday. Shoutout to Ivan Andaya for being an outstanding shift leader! read more

Only reason I come is the food, but the horrible customer service has me questioning if I should come back. Almost every time I come in i have issues with customer service. I understand having a bad day, but when it's the same employee who is rude something needs to change. After an unpleasant interaction on Wednesday night with Isis it makes me not even want to go anymore because it's always such a negative experience. They were busy, and I could see that. But she kept cutting me off when I was trying to order more to ask if I was done ordering. She was rushing me and I ended up forgetting something for my order and had to wait again to order it. When I asked about the drinks she shoved them at me, when she handed my food to me I asked about forks and she tossed them in the bag shoved it at me and walked away. Previously when I came the same girl came to our table at 7:35 and told us we needed to be out in 10 minutes because they were closing. The lobby and dining area was open until 8. I get you don't want to be there later than you have to be, but don't be rude to paying families trying to eat because you cleaned early and now will have to redo it. read more

Walked in to get a waba bowl and asked for extra steak. They charged $5 and were super stingy with including extra. . I might as well have bought an extra bowl. They also did not include enough sauce in the bag. I don't recommend this location. read more

WaBa Grill - This girl was the worst employee ever she was not nice and bleary rude when I was ordering waba u need to train your employees better - Fast Food Near Me - Riverside, California

This location is awful, came here instead of the Chicago ave location (way better) because I was close by, the employees have no idea what they are doing. I ordered two bowls and when I pull them out of the bag the worker forgot the lid on the bottom bowl.. My top bowl was right on top causing a mess and squishing my food, I kindly went up and told him what happened and he just handed me a lid, so I asked another person if we could get the bowl remade because that is super unsanitary and gross and they refused. No wonder this place has so many bad reviews, y'all suck go to Chicago ave location instead.. they are better. read more

WaBa Grill - Something quick and delicious for a Friday dinner - Fast Food Near Me - Riverside, California

This is a very new location, in the shopping centre, in the suite closest to the Del Taco. There is a ton of parking close by. The staff was friendly and greeted me upon entry and took my order quickly. Within a few minutes it was ready to go. Couldn't ask for anything more. read more

It's not bad food. I usually stop by after work and their WaBa Bowls are pretty good.

This restaurant sucks!!! I've had hair in my bowl 2 different times. Every time I order ahead they make me wait when I pick up. And they have my order wrong almost every time!!! The manager never responds when they say he/she will. DONT EAT AT THIS LOCATION. read more

I had the chicken plate for lunch. It was delicious and the employee Yesenia was so nice and friendly.

Do not order online. I ordered online and paid for my food to be picked up within 20 mins. Went to pick up my food, it wasn't ready. An hour after placing my order, it's still not ready. Watching people come in and place their orders in person have come and gone. Asked about my food again and was told they needed 10 more mins to prepare it. It shouldn't have taken this long and I shouldn't have still waited and additional 25 mins for my food to be ready. read more

Great food and service. Yesenia is polite and professional. I come here at least once a week
