Waba Grill Upland, CA...Always love to eat the double beef with white rice, veggies, and dumplings plate. Washed it all down with that refreshing fruit punch. It was a little watered down, but still ok. Got a Pepsi refill to go, was much better! This place was very clean and always hits the spot! Employee was very nice. Always a great place to get this as holiday foods and do bigger group orders!!! Definitely recommend, we will be back!!! read more

Fast service, nice staff especially Jorge! He's the man I love their waba sauce so I'm happy to hear now they have it in a bottle!

Came in today at 4:30pm. According to receipt Alexis R was my "server". I felt so uncomfortable as 3 workers stand just staring at me. Not a single person greeted me with a simple "hello" the longer we stood there without any acknowledgement the more angry I was becoming. The employee directly behind the register was filling lids/cups so I tried to give benefit of doubt that maybe once she did that she'd acknowledge us saying she's ready now. That's when the other employee decided to "greet" the customer waiting behind me with "are you paying cash or card? I can help you over here" then proceeds to help him at the register next to us. So I obnoxiously said "Hi" to which I seemed to get a blushy murmured hello back while she anxiously still messed with the lids. So I loudly informed them "sorry I wasn't aware you were ready for me since no one was saying anything" after placing my order we made our way over to a table. It was just the other man who just ordered and my son and I. No one else in there eating etc. This is when I really started looking around and of all the tables maybe 3 of them appeared clean. Allllllll the other tables sprinkled with food, sauce and soda puddles etc. To -go or not after today's first experience being so pathetic and disgusting I'll never be back. Pity too I'm at red dragon several times a week so could have been a regular customer. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Ordered a bowl of chicken and rice, as well as a 10 serving of dumplings. I was half way through the dumplings when I found a MAGGOT in the sauce. This shows how little they keep up with cleanliness and I wont be going here again. read more

WaBa Grill - Maggot found in sauce - Fast Food Near Me - Upland, California

Good at times but then there's times when they bearly put any meat or even "forget" a protein especially on online orders

I requested them to chop the vegetables as I just had dental surgery and every other Waba that have been to does this with no problem. Jocelyn told me that it was impossible for them to do that they could not contaminate anything by chopping the vegetables, even though every other lava, I have been to does this without a problem. Then they have a nerve of asking for a tip. 90% of the time when I come to this Walmart, but they are usually out of broccoli for their vegetables are so over steamed and mush. And it takes some pointers from the Waba in Fontana. I frequent you out there. You are far more consistent on her food, not out of things and believe in customer service. read more

Service is awful. No "welcome" or friendly smile but another worker gives impression doesn't wanted to offer positive customer service. Such grumpy attitude when asked one more sauce packet the cashier grumped "We charge that". Chicken is bland Better off save your money by going to Flame Broiler! Never coming back. read more

Customer service is the worst. The employees were giving attitude to everyone picking up orders telling them it wasn't ready and was going to be like a 30 min wait. They also stopped taking orders at the counter and I saw them refuse service to a few people coming in while I was waiting for my order.Never seen this type of service at a business Employees do not work well under stress and need better training. Highly suggest you just go the another close waba if you live near by. read more

Worst customer service from every employee the person taking my order would not even make eye contact or explain anything to me... The girl I tried to ask questions was rude. I will never go back here. read more

To be honest I don't know why I keep coming here. This waba has the worst service and I always have my order come back wrong. I'm disappointed because this was the chicken I received. It is thin and burnt on some pieces and smothered in sauce I didn't want. Last time I was here I had the veggies come back raw. I'm just over it to be honest. Hopefully one day this store will have employees who actually do their job properly. read more

WaBa Grill - Chicken bowl . - Fast Food Near Me - Upland, California

Service, not great, to top it off I had a hair on my food, to be exact it was in the rice, and no I don't have a picture because I wasn't going to do a review but after seeing a hair and then the service had to, the guy there was cooking chicken, he saw me come in, at least he could of acknowledged me and say , will be right with you or something, (even tho he is the one that started my order), and a girl finished it but I asked her specifically for wablaze and said she had put in my bag and she didn't, food was just not it, I'm always eating at different WaBa grills and today the food was just not the same, and I didn't go back to take food because I don't live nearby read more

I ordered this order for my girlfriend & already had bought my meal elsewhere. It took longer than 15 minutes to get this 1 bowl ready & on top of that the gentlemen calling out order numbers called out 2 numbers ahead of mine before I had to get up & ask if my order was finished. He laughed and said oh Yeahh it's right here. Then as I went to grab it, he stared at me oddly Idk, it was pretty annoying so imma let ya'll know aha. As you can tell buddy also forgot a fork & didn't ask if we needed any sauce. I had to walk back in and ask for it cause my gf reminded me. Bro do tha job right, it's simple and call the numbers in order. Esp if I'm one bowl and you served two people ahead of me . She asked for extra onion & there aren't any. What the heck.?? read more

WaBa Grill - 1bowl - Fast Food Near Me - Upland, California

I would give zero stars! The customer service is horrible! As soon as I walked in, I said, "hi" to the cashier. No response. When I approached the counter. I said, "hi" . No response. She didn't say a word. I gave her my order, she then gave me the amount I owed and walked away. I said, may I please have brown rice. She walked to the rice cooker, without saying a word and under filled my bowl. Okay, I get it you hate your job. Please choose another profession . You are in customer service. You should greet your customers with a hello & and a smile! read more

First time costumer here. The food was amazing, place was super clean, and the staff were very welcoming and nice! Will definitely come back again. read more

We came at 8:30 pm on a Friday and they had already begun pre closing. They told us there would be a wait of 15-20 min because they already cleaned the grill. We said it was fine and the cashier asked if we wanted white or brown rice, we said brown. He proceeded to cut us off and say they were out of brown rice. Why ask us to pick if there's only one option? He gave us an unnecessary amount of attitude when we were more than polite. He then proceeded to try to get customers to leave so they wouldn't have to cook more by repeating what he told us and giving more attitude to everyone else. He called our order out and we thanked him and told him to have a good night. He didn't even turn around but glared at us as we left. Ridiculous service when we came 30 min before closing. read more

This has to be the worst WaBa location. They constantly mess up basic orders, refuse to give sauce packets, and will underfill their bowls. Think I'm just going to switch to Flame Broiler. read more

Cashier is inconsiderate and lacks customer service. I understand when business' run out of supplies but customers should be notified before ordering. Today there is no ice in the fountain drink machine however the cashier still sold me a fountain drink. I notified him about no ice in the machine and he replied "oh yeah machine is out". There is no sign at the register or the fountain drink machine. Cashier then replied and said he couldn't give a refund. I would just appreciate some common sense and customer service. read more

I can believe kids today. The cashier couldn't hear my repeated orders because he was wearing his earbuds. Why would you think wearing your earbuds and trying to listen to customers order is appropriate? On another note, inside is very clean which I'm impressed and the steak bowls was good. read more

Service was great Ivan was very polite, food was delicious and the atmosphere was calming and great. Definitely coming here again

Came in around 20 minutes before closing. Max helped us out! He was so great, very kind and helpful. The place was very clean. I know it can be a pain when people come in right before closing but he acted like it was a pleasure to have us there. Thank you for the great service max! -Dylan and Loralie read more

The girl at the register charged me for veggies and carrots. I only wanted carrots. Yet I got charged for veggies too! I told her she messed up and she said "that's how it came out" no, that's how you put it in. Also she didn't tell me they had no more dumplings. So i had to wait 35mins for FIVE DUMPLINGS. Never coming to this location again. Worst Waba grill I've ever been to. AVOID THIS LOCATION. read more

This location has false advertising and charges extra for items contradictory to what is listed on the menu. Per the employee working, it is the owner's own policy. read more

Was in a hurry stopped by for lunch and Ivan got me in and out in minutes amazing service! Thank you will definitely be returning

Ordered for pick up and it was ready relatively quick. The staff was friendly and took extra precautions for COVID. The chicken is always cooked well here and they also don't skimp out on the sauce. read more

WaBa Grill - a person holding a bowl of food - Fast Food Near Me - Upland, California

Customer service- 0 Chicken today- good Veggies today-good for the first time in a while. Extra sides of avocados: Horrible, brown and rubbery. Just disgusted by today's experience from this location. Guy who answered had a bad attitude. He told us to go ahead and post the pictures to yelp. So that's what I'm doing. This isn't going to help the business dude! Get with the program please! It is not right to serve your wkly customers food like this. Glad the carrots and broccoli came out good. Normally those are all brown and nasty too. Can't wait to hear back from the manager. Or at least I hope to hear back. We spend way too much money here. Better customer service would be much appreciated. Please check the food before sending it out. read more

WaBa Grill - Super clean - Fast Food Near Me - Upland, California

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. DO NOT COME HERE; THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT OFFER A REFUND FOR THEIR INADEQUATE SERVICE. THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL DUE TO THEIR POOR LEADERSHIP. I AM SPECIFICALLY CALLING OUT THE MANAGER FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT AS OF TODAY'S DATE. I ordered food from their app, which partners with Doordash. I never received my food because when the Doordasher got there, apparently, some other person picked up the food. Doordash cancelled the order. I never got the food and I didn't get a refund (but this Waba Grill processed the order and charged me, not Doordash). I called Waba Grill, the same day, to get a refund and they told me they could not process a refund and to call their corporate office. I called their corporate office and they said that the Waba Grill had to issue me a refund. I called the next day, and an employee tried to get me to call corporate again to get a refund. I told them I was not going on a loop again and if I could speak to their manager. They asked for all of the order information and told me their manager was in a meeting and that they would get back to me after their meeting. THEY NEVER DID. I called again in the afternoon (call took place in the morning) to speak to the manager. At this point, I was already fed up with the back and forth regarding a very simple problem. It was clear that the reason for the fuXK up was due to the lack of leadership and unprofessional behavior from the manager. The manager tried the same BS of going back and forth, about how he could not issue a refund and to call corporate (after already giving him all the information to verify that I was never issued a refund). He tried to act dumb as if there was nothing he could do, so I called him out on his inability to solve a very easy problem. I stated that because they processed the order through their POS system, they could issue the refund. He didn't want to hear any of it so I called out that this was an issue on his part because the training of employees was inadequate; train your employees to verify app orders from those picking up the food and hire enough people to process orders. Quite frankly, I had had it with his BS and hung up. I reached out to corporate and they sent out an email to get them to issue the refund, which they ignored, probably due to pettiness. Corporate was surprised that they ignored the request, as by this point, most franchises do (just goes to show the level of UNPROFESSIONALISM at this particular establishment). At this point, I had to contact my bank to get a refund back, which is annoying because this was a VERY simple problem to solve. See Mr. Manager, you wanted to pull that BS of "I'm in a meeting, I can't help you." Yeah, your time is important, but so is mine. Due to your inadequacy, I had to solve YOUR problem for you. Maybe, reconsider another job, as you clearly are not cut out for this one. No wonder your establishment is getting negative reviews. Work on your customer service! 12/22/2020-- I finally got my refund through my bank. Here is a letter I got from my bank. Also, I got a call from someone at the corporate office saying that the manager said he gave me a refund, which was a flat out LIE. Here is the proof. Again, another reason not to come here due to their UNETHICAL practices and POOR customer service. read more

I never leave bad reviews. 25 minutes for 2 chicken bowls. I feel bad for those who waited even longer for on line orders and dumplings. More than 40 minutes. I waited for me food and used all my lunch time waiting and not eating my lunch. Very disappointed. read more

Great customer service! Francisco was very professional and even asked I would like rice with my soup. I will be back here soon.

Mmm ordered thru UBER Eats. Food was delivered prompt and on time per the app. (So this is not due to the driver) But, disappointingly the food was tepid, almost cool, not hot and fresh. The white rice was dry, and the steak was tepid. I couldn't help but think this was sitting under a heat lamp, or kept warm with some other warming devise. I've never had this experience before. The food was tepid, and quite dry. Bummer... read more
