I loved the chicken strips, they were very delicious, my husband loved his fried catfish and shrimp plate, and thought that the battery onine was the same as his. Since I don't eat seafood I'll take his word for it lol. My brother and nephew got 3lbs of crawfish with extra piece of corn and potatoes, I think they are every bit of it. I'd definitely recommend this place!! read more

Abby was the best waitress eva!! She helped me with my choices and I appreciated that. I had gotten a boudin link and it left my mouth on FIRE . She advised me on how mix with other things so it's not so spicy. Wawa's has been in our town in several locations & they keep getting bigger buildings to accommodate ~ 1000000/10 recommend. read more

Had this place a while back and was pretty dang good. The inside isn't much, it's more so like a cafe style with a bar. The price is pretty reasonable for the quality. Service is about on par as you would expect, pretty solid. Shrimp isn't too bad and the fries are just average. However, the hush puppies and catfish I thought were really good. read more

Excellent food and service!! Always spot on! Crab legs always cooked perfectly and shrimp Is always seasoned just right !! I tried gumbo this last time and it was also spot on!! Great job! We always make a point to eat here when we are in the area! read more

Very mid western bad and grill vibe. Great service and very good food. We have eaten the fried shrimp, crawfish, boiled shrimp, and more. Always good! Will eat here again. read more

We visited when we were in town for 1st Monday in Canton. I still think about the super meaty breaded shrimp! It was so good, excited to visit again read more

I always try to support locally-owned establishments but I'm sorry I have had better food from the grocery store freezer. The fried shrimp were certainly not from the gulf ... so not fresh, nor large and had no flavor WHAT-SO-EVER. Small side portions in paper cups with plasticware. Sorry to say ... Just not a great experience and not worth a return visit. read more

WaWa is of the chain w the crab legs ! And whatever is in that butter bottle on the table needs to be packaged and sent out for mass production. And wait ...... those darn hush puppies had me dreaming about getting some more ! Last but not least ..... the drinks come in extra extra large glasses and the staff makes sure to keep them full lol. All around fabulous place to stop into and have some lunch or dinner. Will be back ! read more

Very nice atmosphere and staff reflects the same for their food I highly recommend this place read more

We went to Wawa's for my birthday. The crab legs were overdone, and almost impossible to get it out of the shell. My fingers had cuts on a couple of them. My husband wasn't impressed with the boiled shrimp. We definitely won't be back. read more

Service was excellent. Food was ok. Ambiance was not so good. The restaurant is run down, dirty, bathroom was gross, and the smell in the dinning area was horrible. read more

Excellent, had great food and fantastic service will definitely come again!!!! We had peeled and deveined shrimp with sausage and boudin and crab balls all great read more

Food is huge portions, and tasty. Service is always prompt and attentive. Ambiance is what you would expect of seafood place. Roomy dining rooms. Plenty of restrooms. Love to go here anytime we get the chance. read more

I thought the food was good. Got 2 grilled catfish tacos with lime cole slaw which was superb. Mate got the fried catfish platter and it was good but not earth shattering. We will return. read more

Went there today to try for my first time. No propane. Ran out in the middle of cooking ours. Said the propane should be there 10-20 mins. After an hour plus waiting finally cancelled. After paying for our appetizer we left to go eat somewhere else. So disappointed. Won't go back read more

We always enjoy our meals here. We've always had good pleasant service. The fish is great, the shrimp is also, and the Cajun inspired items are very delicious! read more

I was honestly ready to leave a bomb review because I loved the food; so much. We came in from out of town and saw the "Little little special" which was for 3 pounds crawfish and 1 pound of shrimp for $42; sounded like a great deal. We ordered the special and what came out seemed HUGE. I didn't think much of it and started eating. It was great. However, my boyfriend and I weren't able to finish it which was really strange to me. I've grown up eating crawfish boils for almost 2 decades and have always eaten 3 pounds solo - let alone splitting it. My boyfriend went to pay and come to find out, we were served the little special, NOT the little little special. Our server "accidentally" thought we said the little special instead of the little little special which cost us an extra $14... and was 5 pounds of seafood - not 3. That was then followed by another server saying, "Yea... I usually ask the table if they want the little little or the little." And another server saying, "Yea we should probably change the name." I really wanted to leave 5 stars because the food was excellent. However, when you're serving food that has no obvious way to measure the difference (unlike # of wings, size of steak, Ect.) please make sure you put in the right order. It's not easy to differ between 3 pounds and 5 pounds of crawfish outside of crawfish season when they're small. Seemed kind of like a low blow. read more

Two weeks ago we got catfish platters for takeout and it was good other than the hard tasteless hush puppies. A week ago we ordered three catfish platters but after thirty minutes drive home we discovered they had sent three catfish baskets. The catfish this time was about half ok pieces and half with very little fish in crust. Hoping the last time was a fluke we again today picked up three catfish platters. The catfish was practically non existent but was mostly fried tough mealy crust. Sadly we will not be going back to Wawa's. read more

Had the gumbo and fried fish/shrimp. All of it was good! Gumbo had a dark, thick roux which I prefer.

The food and service are very good. We live eating here. The bar is a plus. The owners are wonderful people.

Great food and service. Enjoyed it! We will return if ever that way again! We had combination and crab balls read more

This was our 3rd try of WaWa's the food is nice, However the first two times we were there it was very noisy to the point had a headache when we left. This time something happened we have never had before we were charged an up charge for using our credit card. I understand this in some situations but I have never had it done on dinner for two. Sadly we will not be going back. read more

WaWa's was an unexpected surprise. It's a good concession stand with a building beside it to dine in or you can eat under the patio. I ordered the 1 lb boiled shrimp basket which comes with 2 potatoes and 1 corn for $13.99. My shrimp was boiled really good and not over boiled or over seasoned. I felt like they give you more than a pound of shrimp. My daughter & her fiancé ordered the 2lb boiled shrimp basket and added boiled mushrooms. His parents got 1 lb of crawfish and 1 lb of shrimp. We all enjoyed our meal. I will definitely come back. read more

Please change the open hours on here. We drove out of the way to eat here cause it said you were open till 10.

The parking here at night is bad The place is crowded Service is good. If you are picky about dress code some of the young waitress do wear kinda short shorts. The service is good. The food is hot and fresh. Big portion sizes They have cute kid cups that change colors Although this place is crowded your food gets you very fast . We have only been 1 time but we will be going back soon! read more

Good restaurant that we have frequented. They have peal ,,& eat shrimp that is good. It does seem to be getting pricey. I was recently disappointed in their shrimp poor boy. For 12.99 you should be presented with a "proper" Poorboy, served on French Bread not a bratwurst bun! read more

The staff was super friendly to our loud amazing group. All the food seemed to be good. We had all the seafoods i think. It's nice to get good cooked well seafood Cajun style spices when you aren't near the water. We will def be back for our event next year. read more

Food was adequate, but COVID-19 practices left much to be desired. Employees were wearing masks...around their chins. Unacceptable. Restaurant was very crowded. How does this comply with a 50% capacity order? Will not ever enter this establishment again. A complete lack of awareness to the current situation. Even if everyone in the place tested negative, they still exhibit a cavalier attitude toward others whom may clearly have concerns. read more
