I know there is a worker shortage and all, but just got a big order and it wrong all kind of ways. First off, no quinoa to make the brisket bowl and they waited until we checked in then asked do we want rice or mashed potatoes. Then, only got one kids meal, not two, so we were waiting while they made that. Then got home and the bowl was actually not a brisket bowl, and instead was a black bean bowl with spicy stuff in it. So I paid like three dollars extra for the brisket, but I did not get any brisket. Tried to call and was on hold a while, then the system hung up, then called again, and on hold a while and person answered and hung up, them called again and so much on hold, and that time stayed connected and they gave me a refund. What a bummer. The whole reason I did WaWa was that they have all these brisket items that are new. Gonna try again but maybe try for brisket mac n cheese, which is brisket on top of mac n cheese. Anyway, WaWa is good for food, but I would definitely say that you should only order one item and then definitely open it and poke around with a fork and make sure that you actually got what you ordered, instead of it got mixed up with someone else's order. A big order (7 things) was way too complicated. So... The food: The plain burger with all the free fixings (that are not spicy) was amazing. I think the sweet peppers did it. Also got sweet pepper cherry sauce, which looks gross in the pic and was super drippy but tasted great. The plain burger with bacon looked amazing. Child that ordered that was angry that he did not get a kids meal although he had picked burger and fries. He ate all of it, though. Lol Kids meals were ok. I got them for little kids. They are halves of subs and have a little and are better for older kids. I would say 5 and up. For little kids the shredded lettuce can be messy. Chicken penne was not so exciting. The Alfredo sauce was definitely flour based. It has cooked pasta and chicken and steamed cherry tomatoes served on a bed of fresh spinach. There is no way to customize with fancy stuff, but if you get nacho chips, you can order sauces for those in a cup on the side and so can customize anything that way. It is an expensive way to customize, but when I've eaten at WaWa in a group, it's a good way to get lots of sauce for all the dishes. The brisket bowl... I think they got my order mixed up with a vegetarian because I got a black bean bowl with no brisket. It also had fried pickles in it, and think I had maybe ordered pickles, but definitely did not have an option for fried, so I think I got someone else's fancy order. What a bummer. It tasted good, but had got cold by the time I got through on phone to find out do I have to exchange or show it. By the way, all the WaWas are great for travel and quarantining. You can order on the app and it's like 10 min until pickup and they do curbside. Great for getting a half gallon of milk and simple groceries with no minimum order. And, for locations with outdoor seating (this one has outdoor seating), which is good for stopping for lunch while on the road because can order and then get the food and eat outside. Because this is in Gainesville (I think) they have paper compostable bowls and burger clamshells. This did not do well with the alfredo sauce and drippiness of the chicken dish, like I didn't feel it was great for leftovers overnight. Fine to get home though. read more

Not sure what it is about this specific Wawa but every morning when I get my coffee this car is parked in front of the air pumps. Condensation on its windows mean it's been there for at least a few hours. Is this an employees car? Why can't they park away from the 1 working air pumps. read more

I understand paying for a cup but to charge the full price of a drink for water? Wawas customer service has gotten terrible in the last few years! read more

Wawa has certainly expanded its presence throughout Florida and that is certainly good news for Floridians, but for Floridians who relocated here from eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, it was bringing a piece of home down here to the Sunshine State. Wawa is so much more than a simple gas station. Yes, it features a multitude of gas pumps offering competitive prices and I applaud them for offering air for your tires from an air pump that does not require a payment. Should be common sense, but most gas stations have decided that they can generate a few more dollars by charging people to put air in their tires. Wawa goes above and beyond in customer service by letting people get air without a surcharge. But for me and I would hazard a guess that endears Wawa to most of us is the food that they offer, mostly their subs (what they call hoagies due to their original locations). These subs, er, hoagies are freshly made 24/7 and many, myself included, have ended an evening festivities at a Wawa grabbing an end of the night snack in the form of one of their subs, hoagies, or whatever you want to call them. They have both hot and cold sub/hoagie things, as well as other foods like breakfast sandwiches, bagels, bowls, etc. I also have always liked their pretzels, available at the cash registers. Oh, speaking of their food, keep an eye out for Hoagiefest, where they offer any sub st a discounted price. Truly a good deal. So, yes, I recommend Wawa. I would almost climb a mountain to scream its praises for the four winds to carry to the far planets of this world (perhaps even going so far as to reach my home state of New Jersey). Check them out, you will be a convert. read more

Welcome to the Swamp, Wawa!! I've been (im)patiently awaiting our Wawa's to open and when they did, baby I became a Wawa stan account. Not being too far, I've found myself visiting this Wawa on numerous occasions, ready to explore all the options I've only seen at a glance when visiting other cities. The upfront parking lot isn't incredibly massive, but they are neighbors to Big Lot's, leaving them a number of extra spaces some footsteps away. And sometimes they need it! The town has been all a buzz about Wawa coming, and I often find it packed to the max. But still - I've always found the team to work with the precision and level of customer service I've found to expect at faves like Chick-fil-A and Publix! Every time I've visited, the store has been spotless, the staff terribly friendly and service fast - all 5-star elements to me. What's even better? The food. I'm not a "gas station hot dog" kinda gal, lol. I always wonder if it's fresh, who may have been hovering over it previously, and honestly, wtf is in it? Not at Wawa. Wawa isn't just a gas station. I'm so glad I've learned that now! I'm a huge new fan of their breakfast options with the Scrambled Egg Burrito and honestly, any of their Sizzlas tease you and your nose at the cash register. With fluffy eggs, flavorful chorizo, and piping hot hashbrowns, you really can't go wrong! The iced coffee is legendary, the stuffed pretzels to dieeee for and I'm working on the hoagies! Oh - and the gas prices are pretty good as well. read more

Not sure if they saw this or what, but their fuel prices have come down into the same area as other stations in town, so I am going to bump them up a notch in my rating. I still hold that there is nothing really special about this place inside. read more

I am absolutely in love with Wawa and this location is no exception. I am so glad they decided to put Wawa in Gainesville and they picked out different places in town to put them and each one is bright and shiny and makes perfect since where it is. The food at this location is just like the food at the other locations, amazing. I believe the subs are better than Pub Subs, there I said it. They are running a special right now which is any sub for $4.99 and they are made fresh and super good. The staff here are always super friendly and nice and they make sure to say hello to you when you walk in and goodbye when you exit. I am a big fan of Wawa and I am looking forward to visiting all 3 locations a lot more. read more

I'm willing to admit that I was originally an anti wawa-er. I thought wawa sounded like baby talk that was probably racist against indigenous people. I renounce these statements. I can't even comprehend how they fit all they're good options into this place. I had an italian sandwich that would make subway shit itself. they have cherry coke icees. enough said. one star removed because it still is a stupid name read more
