    Chicken Gyro Bowl
    Samantha A.

    Great lunch spot! Service is on point. They are friendly, fast, AND ACCURATE! This is what generates repeat business... The food is very good, and there are SO MANY options. I have been here a lot over the years, and tried many things. And most recently, about a handful of times over the last 2 months, and it is consistently good. Reasonable prices, generous portions, fresh and flavorful food. I even took my bet friend here, who's a really picky eater, and she loved it. Told all my coworkers about it as well.

    Poke Bowl, Loaded Fries and Fried Fish and chips

    First, let me say Marlen P who rang us up at the register was amazing, definitely welcoming, she had my mom and friends and I laughing. She was willing to explain the menu to those that never ate there before. WTF express give your girl a raise. It's rare when you come across someone like that. The food was amazing, definitely hit the spot and well worth the drive, would def come here again. Ambiance is very clean and super spacious. We had their poke bowls and fried fish with chips. You won't be disappointed.

    WtfExp (or WTF Express) is one of the quirkier eateries in south Phoenix. It's popular with the weekday lunch crowd, and it's great for groups because it's got so many things on the menu: Middle Eastern food, cheesesteaks, poke, salads, burgers, sandwiches, wings and more. Now, with a menu this diverse, not everything is going to be great. I had a shrimp po'boy one time that was pretty disappointing. Fortunately, there are plenty of good choices on the menu. The Middle Eastern options are delicious and really affordable. The poke is great because the portions are generous and on the build-your-own-bowl, they don't nickel-and-dime you for every add-on. The wings are pretty solid, too. Overall, WtfExp is a reliable choice. And a bonus for history nerds: It's right next to two of the oldest standing buildings in Phoenix. The boarded-up river rock building near the street and the nicer house behind it date to the 19th century.

    Greek salad  with falafel
    O'Zandra F.

    I love the concept of having several restaurants under one roof. The staff are friendly and patient. You place your order, select a seat, then wait until your number is called. I tried the Greek salad with falafel. The kool-aid looked tempting, but I passed. ... for another day. The large dining area can accommodate parties as well as singles. Accessible parking and entrances.

    I ordered something different today, went way out of my comfort zone and ordered the Dirty Bird Mac n Cheese. I'm disappointed that I was eating a dry dish. I expected flavorful fried chicken on top of Macaroni AND Cheese.. not just macaroni. Did they forget to add the cheese??

    I had to air fry the fish and chips to even get a crisp after it sat in wet styrofoam for an hour

    I had a really disappointing experience at WTF Express today. We ordered online -- fish and chips and a Caesar wrap -- then I picked up my son from school and went to grab the food. While we were there, I added a cheeseburger and a slice of carrot cake that was clearly displayed behind the glass. When we got back on the freeway and closer to home, I realized the carrot cake was missing. I drove back (through traffic), not only because the cake was missing, but because my partner asked me to have the food remade since fish and shrimp don't stay fresh once they've sat. When I went back, the owner, Adam, was extremely dismissive and unhelpful. Instead of simply correcting the mistake, he insisted that because the carrot cake wasn't on the online receipt, he wouldn't do anything about it. He also claimed the carrot cake was "self-serve," even though it was clearly behind a case. No apology, no effort, no basic customer service. As a customer, the expectation is simple: if a mistake is made, make it right. Instead, he argued and refused to help, leaving us with cold food and no resolution. We will not be returning. Very disappointing experience, all due to how the situation was handled, especially by the owner.

    Lots and lots of different food to try. My freind loved his Mac n meatballs, I had schwarma fries Which were also good.

    This is a place with an enormous and eclectic menu. You can choose from burgers, hot dogs, Asian fusion, fry combinations, salads, and cheesesteaks. It is absolutely inane that this place refuses to serve cups of water like 99% of restaurants in America. Their beverage section even includes water but they just won't allow you to drink it apparently. They sell water bottles but the cashier said they ran out. However, once I started eating, I noticed there were water bottles to sell so apparently the cashier is too incompetent to know what water bottles are. There is a Yelp deal here for a free drink since the cashier refused to give me water. Instead, the cashier said they refuse to honor the Yelp check in deal. I asked if the name of their establishment was "WtfExp" and she said "yes" and then said that the restaurant on my app is not me despite it saying that it's verified by the owner. If the owner is reading this, I suggest hiring competent workers. I wouldn't bring any other deals/coupons here considering that the people here won't even honor them. I got myself a Mac Daddy Burger which is a burger with mac 'n cheese and bacon. The burger itself was of average quality; somewhat dry meat and lukewarm mac 'n cheese. This place has no air conditioning and they refuse to offer any sort of competent customer service. Definitely avoid this place at all costs.

    You already know what I'm going to say so let's just get it out of the way. WTF??!! Our WTF and DTF (yes, that's the real name) burgers were hot and fresh and delicious but the French fries were freaking amazing! I don't know what they used for seasoning but I could have eaten a whole plate of fries and died happy. This was a great find on our travels and I would make another trip to Phoenix just for this! We snatched up a giant slab of carrot cake on our way out to share with the family and it was a hit! Moist and delicious and delicious. A++++ to WTF!

    Mini Chili Cheese Fries  these were so delicious,   this place was sooo good I want order everything on the menu!
    Chaye S.

    These fries were so delicious, I really can't wait to go back and order something else. They have fried fish, poke bowls, monsters burgers, delicious fries. Can't wait to go back!
