    Wow, excellent service, the guys understand very clearly what I want and when I want it, it's very nice when you are served quickly and without errors, tasty and not expensive, I recommend

    So a quick pick up lunch to go turned out to take longer than expected Had the shrimp plate and it was meh. The avocado was very fresh and overall it was ok but for $12 meal I need more flavor. Place was clean and made to order. Great customer service.

    Hair in food

    Probably one of the worst experience ever . Repeated the order several times to the women working in the front register only to be asked to repeat it again. Extremely patient told her multiple times and in the end the order came wrong . Have been going to waba grill for a few years always get the same thing and this time I got something completely different that I didn't even ask for . I was starving I do intermediate fasting so this was my first meal of the day which was the worst . And to top it off my bowl and dumplings had hairs all over it . Not nice at all .

    Located at the street side of this L shaped strip mall... parking was decent because the rest of the shops weren't that busy. We ordered a chicken rice bowl and a shrimp rice veggie bowl and a miso soup. The soup wasn't that good, but the bowls were pretty good. You'll have to use the Waba sauce packets once you finish the meat off the top because they don't put enough sauce in the bowls. My only complaint is that they barely cook the broccoli and carrots. I understand that they want to keep as many nutrients in as possible. But... I'm in it for the taste. I'd rather eat all my veggies (over cooked) rather than just 25% of the hard ones and throw away the rest. But, I'm guessing their main office tells them to cook it s certain way.

    Change your time or get people that want to work, get here 8:54, the guy inside give me hand signal that they were close. Business neighbor but I ain't coming back,

    Working conditions at Waba grill. AC hasn't worked all summer usually 88- 95 degrees on a daily.

    This picture is from a couple days ago it says 94 degrees it has been like this all summer fix your AC. Your employees are sweaty.

    Chicken Plate (added Avocado for $1.80)

    Delicious!!! First time eating at Waba Grill and I loved it! I ordered the Chicken Plate with no rice (salad instead) and added half an Avocado. The chicken was grilled to perfection. Their Waba Grill Hot Sauce was so good! Kinda like Sriracha. It complemented my chicken perfectly! And it's a lot of chicken too!!! Love this place! I'll be back again.

    One cook, one order taker but they on it. Good service.

I found parking easily in the private lot this place has. When I walked inside, they were not busy and I was the only customer. I asked about the deal and they honored it. I got the chili double cheeseburger, asked for no chili,onion or pickles on it. I also ordered fries and a pepsi. My food didn't take long to come out and I ate it inside of the place. I thought the burger was okay and the fries was fine too. It just needed a little more seasoning which they used to give before.

    I like the food and ambience of this Tommy's…read more Some of the workers are pretty retarded though. The one who took my order really pissed me off. He had zero customer service skills, forgot my root beer float, and when he finally got it after I reminded them that I wanted the drink I paid for the soda was leaking out the lid. Created a freakin mess. He seemed really off. Can't they hire actual competent people here? Preferably ones who didn't creep customers out? This dude shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a burger joint, let alone our country. All of the workers seem to be in a perpetually gloomy mood, which is strange considering there's never been a rush any time I've come here (typically around 10pm) either in-house or at the drive thru, unlike In N Out which is 50x as busy as Tommy's at all times and yet the employees are 1000x nicer.

We're so glad we did. We got lucky that when we came for dinner the parking lot was empty. Within about 20 minutes it was completely full with people just double parked waiting for someone to leave. This is a place that I think would best serve being able to walk to or get things to go to enjoy elsewhere. However, if you were to not dine in, you wouldn't be able to experience the very friendly and helpful staff. They're all running around taking orders, prepping parts of meals, and calling out finished orders, yet they do it with such a seamless rhythm and ease. Even when they were in full blown dinner rush mode the moved with a calmness yet urgency that I wish other restaurant employees could study. The customer service was fantastic. the interior is small, but fun. It's got the feel of a 50s diner with a mural of classic Hollywood figures. Booths and tables are a bit small, but clean and look well maintained. In all, it's a great, inviting place to eat. The food was very good. It's your classic diner fair. Nothing special but they offer everything from breakfast to sandwiches to burgers and Mexican food. Breakfast is also served all day (except for waffles much to my kids' disappointment isn't served during dinner hours). My kids tried the cheeseburger and loved it. My youngest devoured his hot dog and I really enjoyed my Ruben sandwich (though I wish I could've had it on rye bread). Honestly, my only real complaint about the food was that the fries were somewhat bland and everything felt about a dollar or two too much. Though, I will admit that is just the state of restaurants these days. I am no knocking them for that, just pointing out that this isn't really going to be a cheap meal. A tasty & filling one for sure, but not cheap. In all, you can tell why Beeps has been around for decades. It knows what it is and does it well. This is a place that can become a family staple restaurant. And with their huge menu, it would take a long time to get through everything which I love.

    For the win--literally!…read more After a few hours of shopping, my daughter, granddaughter, and I decided to grab dinner at For the Win. We were all craving burgers, and nothing hits like a fresh smash burger. I ordered the double cheeseburger with bacon and all the toppings, plus a side of sweet potato fries and a cold brisk tea. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was super clean and had a festive vibe with Christmas music playing, which we loved. The staff were very welcoming, and the customer service was top-notch. We'll definitely be back to this location.

    I had a pretty frustrating experience ordering from For The Win today, which completely defeated…read morethe purpose of ordering ahead. I placed an online order through their website, and it quoted about a 25-minute prep time with a ready window around 2:56 -3:06 PM. I planned accordingly and even arrived earlier so I could pick it up fresh and avoid waiting. However, just five minutes after placing the order, I received a text saying it was already ready. That immediately raised a red flag, because if you're paying $13+ for a double burger, you expect it to be made closer to your arrival time, not immediately. When I arrived, the burger was already cold. When I brought this up, the employee I spoke with repeatedly said "it's not my fault" and pointed to someone else, instead of taking any ownership or even acknowledging the issue. It was a really poor way to handle a simple customer concern. Eventually, after some back and forth, the burger was remade, but I had to wait another 10-15 minutes. And ironically, it took longer to make it this time than it did after I placed the online order. But then now I wa stuck waiting defeating the whole purpose of ordering ahead. A manager eventually came over and was polite, but by that point the experience had already been frustrating. They also threw away the original burger instead of offering to let me keep it, which felt wasteful. On top of that, when I asked for a couple cups of water for my daughter, I was told I'd need to purchase a bottle, which felt pretty tone-deaf given the situation and didn't even think to offer me any anything for the misunderstanding and having to wait extra time now... The bigger issue here is the lack of coordination and communication. If you're going to quote customers a pickup time, especially for hot food, the order should be made accordingly--not immediately after it's placed. Otherwise, you're guaranteeing that the food won't be fresh when the customer arrives. Between the timing issue, the lack of ownership from staff, and the overall handling of the situation, this was a disappointing experience. I usually like the food, but the service and process today really need improvement.

The place is small when you walk in, just a tight setup with a four-man crew working the grill right behind the counter. The first thing you notice is the smelll of charbroiled chicken in the air. smells really good! Kind of weird that it was completely empty during lunch, but maybe people just haven't caught on yet. What cracked me up was all Hispanic guys behind the grill lisitening to 1950s rock 'n' roll and bebop playing in the background. something you don't see or hear every day.. I kept it simple and got the beef bowl since it's my first time. Prices are a little high, so I didn't want to jump straight into a full combo. The bowl came out in about five minutes and it was a good portion. A lot of beef, and it was tender, not dry or chewy. The sauce on top has a sweet and savory thing going on that sticks to the meat, and they didn't skimp on it either. Rice was good, not too wet, not too dry. Overall, Golden Bowl is one of those spots you'd drive right past if you weren't paying attention. But if you're in the area and want something quick and fresh off the grill, it's worth a stop.
